In truth, he shouldn't have expected better.
But he had, foolishly so perhaps. Prepared as he was, watching the few bandits that showed up turn a rather ghostly pale white, only to very quickly turn around and run back as far away from the group of them as they could get like scared children. It was disappointing, and left the elvhen heaving out a quiet sigh at them fleeing, it reminded him of those that had tried a few times to harm others vastly superior than those they were attacking. Seeing them flee, only to be set ablaze at a distance and hearing sudden screams before they turned to ash. While that was certainly an option here, he doubted it would help their situation in the long run, or his mana supply if he was going to be so careless. Better to wait.
Instead with a wave of a hand, Revas lowered the barrier he had raised moments before, fading away as if it had never existed to begin with. Megara had asked him to try to not murder these bandits, so perhaps they might yet survive for a little while longer. Though he very much doubted that would be the last time they would see those two within this maze, or anyone else aligned with them either. With the four of them now left alone, came the choice of where to head next. Given all the evidence they had at present, the child of stone's suggestion made sense, a nod of agreement given as his response as they began to make their way deeper into this place.
Revas kept to the rear of the group, it would allow him to keep an eye on all of them, and he could always reach ahead of them easily enough if needed. Better that, then having his back to someone he had never met before, and did not trust. Megara may think kindly of their new arrival, but no matter good intentions or not, he had never been quick to trust. Even more so for those that could wield a blade properly. No one person learnt how to fight and kill without a purpose after all. For now however, they had a job to do, finding these shipments and getting back out of here. Until it was sorted, he'd keep such opinions to himself.
