Mikhael nodded at the new information regarding the arcane detection enchantment, a little surprised he didn't hear about this important detail until now. It also just hit him now that he was also able to do so too, unaided of all things. Such was a rare and powerful trait to possess, even among those very few born gifted with arcana. Ezekiel and Joshua didn't seem to have that ability, and they were members of the esteemed Royal Guard. When did he learn to do so? He had never practiced anything of the sort at all. He frowned slightly at the notion of being the one to lead the searching party. He didn't like that kind of responsibility. But he can't really say no, when he was the only one capable of seeing the mist, could he?

That thought then brought him to another dark reality. Maybe there was another reason why Henry had disappeared? But he didn't want to jump to conclusions just yet. 

	He grinned when the large man stepped to his side, who almost instantly volunteered to join in on the figurative 'blind' hunt. Lucas was always the type of man who ignored any sort of danger if it meant protecting someone. Mikhael didn't know whether to call it bravery or lack of respect, but he respected it nonetheless. 

	He pointed his head at the signature claymore, "Don't worry too much. I'm sure if you swing that thing around enough you're bound to hit something, even if it was invisible. Besides, if anything, I'll be the weak link here..." glancing down at his single arm, "I'm not sure how well I can hold my own if we get in a fight. I've no idea how much skill I've lost without my primary arm. Hell, I might just be sending myself on a suicidal run here..." Mikhael then look up towards the woods with a cold fury, staring into the pitch black darkness of spines and leaves, his fingers balling up into a fist at the thought of the pitiful boy being alone in there. "But I don't care. Even if I wasn't able to see this wretched magic, I still would've insisted on going. This witch or monster or whatever wants to threaten anyone in this company, I'll find and kill it, no matter what."

Something deep in his chest stirred at those words.

He seemed unaware of this, too intent on the goal at hand, turning eyes to the remaining three, "That leaves one more. Which of you wants to come too?"
