It was blatantly obvious that the Vampire did little to trust him, and Valerion felt insulted by the reaction he received, but it also gave him a bit of insight about the man. He was obviously used to being in a posisition of power over others. But this time was different, he obviously knew that Valerion was powerful otherwise the vampire would have likley attacked
And so Valerion decided to present a demonstration of his power.
The smile now a full grin etched into his face.
"Well then allow me to get him up for you, otherwise he might die."
With that Valerion used his knowledge in necromancy and brought the lifeless shell back, well it wasn't alive it was just reanimated.
But he doubted he'd get much reaction from them so he went up ahead of them, the surprise of him waiting for them at the top would be a great deal better anyway.

Valerion began striding towards them and came within swinging distance to the Vampire. It was obvious that the vampire had complete hatred of Valerion so he felt that he should enclave things a little.
He said his in a low voice filled with malice. "Best hurry up before the sun comes up" he was just about to continue ahead but then finished with "Oh and your 'Grandfather' will accompany you for the rest of your days, unless tragedy befalls him again." With a slight chuckle he began to stride of into the blizzard ahead of him, his cloak cracking in the furious wind.
