The man frowned as he noticed Kayla's expression when she looked back at him. Could he never catch a break, and run into someone who liked him for once? Oh well, at least he'd be getting out of this place. Unlike Kayla, Zaer didn't bother to look back. He knew that the flames would continue burning for a good while yet, so the guards had almost no chance of reaching them that way. When he heard the Storm elf mention the tunnel guardian, a crazed smirk covered his face. "Interesting indeed..." he murmured. The fire elf couldn't help himself. The thrill of battle, the challenge of a strong opponent, the need for these things ran through his blood since birth.<br/><br/>When they reached the end of the hall, he stopped, expecting the girl to press a hidden switch or something, and an opening to appear in the wall. He was mildly surprised when she entered one of the vacant cells. He grinned though as he saw her working the hidden mechanisms that would lead them to freedom. When Kayla slipped though the opening, he was about to move through when she told him to get the light elf girl and put her through. Rolling his eyes, he hoisted the girl up and eased her through. Why they had to keep her around, he didn't know. It had better be well worth it, if she was going to continue being dead weight like this.<br/><br/>After barely managing to squeeze through himself, he straightened himself up and brushed the dirt from his clothes. When she asked him about light, he gave a snort. "Please, who do you think you're talking to, Sparky?" He had decided to call her that as long as she insisted on calling him Lord Ash. Raising one hand in front of himself, palm up, a ball of flame formed in the center of his hand. The Reddish-orange glow it gave clashed with the blue glow of the girl's weapon. Lowering his gaze, he sees Ayesha laying on the ground. "So... are you going to keep carrying her, or are you going to try and make me do it?" If they ran into trouble on the way out, he didn't want to have to waste time putting the girl down before he could fight effectively.
