While the experience with the Orcs had scared him a bit, the Paladin wasn't about to have anyone else go through such a troublesome experience and would still consider himself the party's shield from danger. Though when they arrived at the cave, he would cast a nervous glance towards the others, not wanting to be caught in there without his shield. Fortunately the Halfling was quick to produce a torch, providing enough light for everyone, though he was rather pushy as they traversed the cave, causing Evri to grumble each time he was ordered to go faster. At Gil's warning of hair related accidents being the leading cause of death in caves, the Elf would duck a bit lower however.<br/><br/>When they arrived at the opening, Evri looked over at the two armored figures with a mix of apprehension and fascination, carefully stepping forward, he would slowly move to touch one of the statues, only to let out a surprised yelp as they began to speak. Once done with their little riddle, Evri would begin to ponder what the answer could possibly be. Ye'me may of been on to something, but he ended up asking a rather silly question about who was the prettiest amongst them, the Elf not even noticing the one statue looking at him. Or his armor, at least. Gil seemed to be onto something as well, though what exactly that was, Evri wasn't sure.<br/><br/>He was so focused on trying to figure out the answer that he would actually jump in surprise as Ye'me exclaimed that he was right. Evri watched as the Barbarian began to discuss something with Meo, suddenly feeling very nervous about what they might have planned. When Ye'me came over to explain his plan, Evri would give him a rather flustered look as he ran his hand through his hair, though he didn't brush the hand away, partially because he didn't want to appear rude and partially because it did feel kind of nice. When Ye'me finished telling him his idea, the Paladin would only look more flustered, the idea of trying to persuade these statues to let them pass sounding rather silly. Of course, if he fully understood Ye'me idea of what it meant to be 'manly' Evri would've flat out refused, but given the difference in cultures, he did put some consideration into the idea. "What would I even say to them? They seem like they'd be more than happy to just continue with the silent treatment..." he murmured, glancing over at the two statues for a moment.<br/><br/>Of course Meo would come in to help convince Evri to go with the Barbarian's idea. His words would certainly strike at the Paladin's pride, his desire to protect others overriding how nonsensical the plan sounded to him, Giving a defeated sigh, the Elf would nod his assent. "Alright, I suppose if  you two really think this is the safer option, I'll give it a try. There really isn't any harm in trying to be diplomatic, after all." he said, giving them both a strained smile. Anything for the group, right?<br/>
