Zachary listened and watched, knowing he couldn't shapeshift into anything else, although he one day hoped to achieve such things. It wasn't the reward he was looking for, but he could learn it from someone else at a later date. Right now he needed to focus on what they were doing so that he could get what he came for. Knowledge. Just as it had always been. Seeing one hitch a ride on the Warden with them was amusing in a way, though he was pulled from any musings about it when Hermione spoke of how easy it seemed.
"Likely because it's not." Zach responded easily. He was wary by nature. Having gone through the things he had, it was only natural. "Anything worth having is always more difficult than it seems at first to get. I didn't expect someone wise enough to realize it to be among us. Aside from a certain few." Meaning Morrigan, Keiran, and Mirage. It was a simple way of saying he was at least surprised by her observation rather than bothered. Perhaps even a little relieved there was someone who noticed it said something as well.
Still, he followed everyone up the mountain with his staff out, ready for the worst. It would be best to be prepared if nothing else. Better to expect to the worst than have it surprise you. For that reason, he cast protection magic on himself with a push of magic through his veins. The feeling of coolness washing over him let him know that the spell worked and now he just had to keep it going. It was for the best that he keep it up for now, until they got back at best.
