Ilmlim didn't see any secret signs from Antimony, which led him to believe she didn't think the trickster was lying. Ilmlim didn't trust the head of the church, but he did believe that Aeriyon wasn't here. It made more sense to try and escape then to wait to be found inside the city. At least that's what Ilmlim thought. Either way he knew how to find out. If Aeriyon had left the safety of the the church they could scy upon him again. If the same problem appears as last time, they would know they were lied to by the great trickster. Now the two of them just had to report back and let the hunt commence.
