Vensi chose to stay his distance from the two that seemed to be socializing. The irony of a paladin speaking to a demon quasi-casually was not lost on him and served to bring out a few chuckles in his mind. The odd juxtaposition was not enough to completely divert him from the task at hand however. As the two began to navigate further into the palace he allowed himself to follow suit and marvel at the lavish furnishings of the place as he treked deeper towards the innermost parts of the castle. Now he was truly regretting his own inability to lift any valuables from such an erudite local. Had he taken a handful of goods he'd been financially secure for the rest of his days, well not his now immortal days however as per fault of the Undead Curse. 'Be prepared for his arrival' indeed. Vensi understood what would be tasked of them and if he were to make it out of this task with his riches and sanity intact he would have to find companions to trust in him, foolishly nonetheless but he did not have many options. He approached the demon and paladin with a rather cheery disposition considering the gravity of their situations and spoke articulately and politely "I couldn't help but notice what a strange duo you two were."
