Testing his temperance indeed, "let's be off then" he murmured, taking Moth's hand and following Eleanor to the wall, doing his absolute best to ignore Ana and Thog's provocation. He would momentarily forget his troubles as they reached the foot of the wall, captured by the grandeur of it all. They had been here before, obviously, but under pursuit of a swarm of harpies they hadn't been in any position to stop to take in the sights. He wondered how long it took to build these walls, how many people had to be working side by side to erect it, all while the creatures of the Anus were literally lapping up against them. It seemed like a miracle that such a plan would have worked as well as it did, perhaps it literally was...<br/><br/>"alright I suppose..." the boy murmured, rescinding his tag plan, not realizing they were actually magical in nature. Yet another time magic has proven a hindrance on this trip, "well I suppose we can still sell them. we'll need the money to get you some proper supplies" he said to Moth, shaking his head a bit as she eagerly lined up to be bound up.<br/><br/>Someone who wasn't so eager, however, was the crazed elf Lauralan. At least, he had assumed she was crazy, what with her ravings after they rescued her from the tentacle monster. He hadn't been paying her much attention during the trip up, distracted in more ways than one by a whole list of other priorities, but now that he was looking more closely she seemed absolutely livid, "is she going to be alright?" he questioned Eleanor as the older woman started loosening the elf's restraints.<br/><br/>He was rather abruptly given an answer in the form of a righteous tirade, the elf going off on Eleanor with bitter venom, and commanding her to beg forgiveness. The craziest part was that Eleanor actually DID! "Wha...what the heck is going on here?" Sparrow muttered, gently ushering Moth behind him as the strange scene unfolded. Hearing Eleanor's, admittedly insincere sounding, admissions made the boy's stomach churn a little. It was one thing to capture the mindless monsters in the Anus for such things, and even then he was less than fond of it, but it was completely different to do that to a person. And what did she say about pretending not to realize Lauralan was sane? Her being mentally unstable was the whole reason they were keeping her tied up in the first place, "By the Gods Eleanor..." the boy muttered, feeling more and more aghast by the second, feeling stupid for putting so much faith in the woman's virtue.<br/><br/>"Hey..." the monk murmured, reaching over to place a hand on Laura's shoulder, "I'm terribly sorry about all this. I thought we were acting in your best interest by rescuing you from the Anus. We had no idea she was going so far." he said, referring to himself and Moth, who had often been away from the group to scout ahead, "look...I understand you're angry. You have every right to be. And if you'd prefer to go back now we won't try to stop you...but after coming all this way we may as well return to the city where we can get some proper rest and regroup, maybe find another group you can accompany back down seeing how it's not safe to try and go back on your own" he suggested, trying to play mediator and somehow salvage this mess of a situation, "though that'd require playing along with Eleanor's act, at least for a little while....which obviously I understand you don't want to do...like I said, we won't try to force you one way or the other..."  he said, gently pushing Eleanor back a few steps and turning to unfasten the last of Lauralan's restraints as a show of good faith.
