What did they mean he had to [i]earn[/i] their trust? They should know that they're beholden to a true child of divine... Still, they did have a point. He wasn't dealing with rich impressionables any more. If he wanted to induct anyone new to his new religious order, he'd have to actually be convincing about it. Malphas only continued to stay silent as he watched Donovan's ability come to play. To be able to summon up a couple of phantoms could be useful for the long run, although he wasn't too sure on their specifics. Perhaps this is what he meant when he said he could build things? Either way, it seemed like an ability very important to utilize later on, when they're finally out and about... Perhaps smoothing things over with Donovan might be the best course of action after all. Perhaps the fourth person up above could also be of use to Malphas as well, although she didn't do much to introduce herself just yet. "[color=lightblue]Sticking close is a proper idea,[/color]" Malphas chimed, slinging the old walking stick he was given by Donovan over his shoulder, although he did make sure to keep note of its value, "[color=lightblue]but we also shouldn't take for granted the treasure trove we have found ourselves on. It seems that whatever this Guardian may be, it's possibly looking for us elsewhere. It should give us plenty of time to scrounge up a few more valuables from this wretched place, and possibly get a better understanding of where we are.[/color] "[color=lightblue]Come to think of it, considering how large this place is, that could mean there mufht be others like us in here, trying to find their own way to avoid this Guardian. Perhaps together, we could even...![/color]" Malphas continued to scheme silently to himself, pleased with his own inner musings.
