Val smiled at Vashti when she agreed with his idea and then nodded at Terra as she pointed out what she had learned. "I will be more then happy to help you out Terra I will just need to prepare my spells. Would you mind coming over and giving me a hand seeing as I think some of your spells are better suited then the ones I have." With that he throw a smile at Terra and then a little grin and a wink at Naomi. As he was getting ready to do that he heard Magnus' comments and the smile quickly faded.<br/><br/>The elf turned to face the Paladin at this point and took note of the gleam in his eyes and the grin on his face as he asked his question and made his statement. It was at this point that the elf lost his more relaxed looked and dropped back into veteran mode. He had seen that look many times before in the eyes of someone with something to prove, and it usually ended in a high price of blood. He had lost many a good friend and men to similar looks, guys that felt trying to do the greater good was more important then the job at hand and survival. Valenar wasn't going to let that happen this time because some paladin felt he needed to go on a crusade. So as he spoke to Magnus it was with a stern voice one that left no room for argument.<br/><br/>"Look Magnus I understand the desire to do something good and prevent a possible coming apocalypse, but that isn't the case here. We have no clue what is going on here and our only goal currently is to survive and find a way back to our own plane. If we happen across something we can stop I am more then willing to do it but under no circumstances am I here for some crusade. Nor am I here to go looking for some trouble because when you look for trouble that is when it finds you. My only concern is getting the five of us out of here alive if you become a liability then that number drops to four. Am I clear?" The elf's gaze was solely on the Paladin and the years of experience could be seen from his eyes and his face was as if etched in stone.
