[Lord Windos]

Clearly detecting the mysterious man's disappointment, and an utter commitment to do...something, Ventus stopped in his tracks, suddenly confused by this change. The surge of loyalty that came soon after caused him to raise his eyebrows as well. 'His emotional response...its not what I was expecting when I came to confront him about his activities. Whatever he's currently engaged in, it does not seem to be of a devious nature now,' the researcher thought, extending his arm out to stop Shiva from going any further.

When he heard Shiva's suggestion, he nodded at her, before making a hushing motion with one of his fingers. 'Something was amiss, and going in blind is something unwise to do, especially with an unknown variable' the researcher thought, facing Sage and observing his actions from then on. Rushing into a situation unaware of all the details was, on reflection, a poor idea. He'll wait and see what they are up to, before they if its necessary to interfere. Still, he motions towards Apsis, signaling to her that if he tries to attack them to show no mercy. Apsis, who had stopped to guard her master, nodded in understanding. She won't let her master come to harm while she's around!

Order: Stopping a little bit away from Sage's character and the man Ven has no knowledge about, and observing exactly what the formerly ill man does. Ventus may be curious and suspicions, but if something is off about his initial judgement, he's not going to proceed until he knows more. If Sage's chara tries to attack Ventus, though, Apsis is going to use Glare on them. Ven is still quite paranoid, after all.
