Aster reappeared when the group was ready to resume their course, the male following closely all the while the swordstaff he carried beginning to glow faintly while vibrating softly with energy. It resonated when conflict or darkness lurked. It could be whatever was beyond the portal or the female herself, but he was counting on the latter to have been the cause. After all, she had already lied about following them and being harmless.

As if to put emphasis on his thoughts, the guardians and their hammers demanded they halt. One of them clearly was not someone to be trusted unless Ryne could assure differently. The figures had proposed a series of questions instead to which the Light Elf was certain he would nail with flying colors.

"I came here to aid Ryne and his child in his task of delivering the protector of this world. Anyone that dares oppose the goddessess will shall be smited effectively." That was his answer and it was the truth. He was originally tasked with just tailing them because their words attracted certain attention. After relaying all that he had saw and knew to the council, he was now tasked with protecting the male, needing but to call the aid of the other Light Elves nearby if such a task was needed. It was not at the moment, but with several figures not being trustworthy, some would probably have to pull their own weight a bit more.
