When he finally opens his eyes properly, he discovers he is on the floor.
That is rarely a good sign. He curses and scrambles to his feet at once, eyes sweeping the room, taking stock of positions, exits, threats, and allies.
“The traitor has escaped. Again.” The words come through clenched teeth. His gaze settles on MDK. For a moment, Vonth is tempted.
Tempted to act. To solve one problem before it can become another. But he says nothing. None of the others seem interested in defending themselves - or their allies - and Vonth is growing tired of being the only one who treats betrayal like a problem that should be dealt with.
With visible reluctance, he slides his sword back into its sheath. For now.
Marrin gives Vonth a pat on the shoulder and a smile to welcome him back then rises and returns to the table and the discussion with MDK.
She will confirm MDK's warning for Ava and Sol,
"Things are fine in here, don't put yourselves at risk rushing in please!"
She will turn her somewhat exasperated gaze to Vonth but does give a nod at his assessment of Soren,
"Ya, I'm not thrilled either Vonth but sometimes things like that need to wait, and I certainly won't be forgetting him."
Finally, once she sees Vonth has settled, she will lean in and say quietly in draconic to MDK,
"Well. Where does that put us? Talis, if she is alive, knows about the djed and where it can be found. I guess the question is would she have shared it with your companions in the desert or kept it to her self?"
