Valken was met with two large presences, their auras were immense. He was quiet among the chatter but that's all the information he could go on. His eye sight had diminished so much he couldn't make out the outlines of the large lizards and he had to rely on his echolocation to make out their forms. Sure enough someone had went on about the elven City and he was welcoming them there. He was fading in and out if the conversation and Ishmael ordered him to go with Cassandra and help them navigate. 
Valken nodded, "okay." Next he didn't know what threw an arm over his neck, but he took a few seconds to realized it was Cassandra. He grunted and stumbled but as he walked with her he extended his tongue out from his mouth and brought some of her hair into his mouth like a grazing giraffe. "Saying that we 'might' need her magic is not helping her cause."
