[color=0072bc]"Nice to meet you, Valok."[/color]

Valok's words were satisfactory to Malachi. He saw him be a useful ally and even found his personality to be better than he thought he would.  As he went to continue leading everyone on their way, Belladona spoke up and moved in front of everyone. Though he was impressed she was taking some initiative and wasn't a puppy that just followed him mindlessly, he did not find it to be necessary. He had planned to get more information slowly through the journey, gaining some trust and getting onto more pleasant terms with them to ease information out better. Her questions, though legitimate and on his mind as well, were not going to be answered. He stayed silent and let them answer and let Belladonna find this out naturally. 

Myra gave the same answer as before. Mathis introduced himself and gave as vague and hard to pick apart answers as his first. It was going to be like picking up crumbs only to never find the source. Though the information proved interesting, so it wasn't a total waste. "Magical spells" was as vague as it got and it was cause for suspicion. Malachi didn't think this man seemed threatened by them, so there was a chance if this indeed was a foe, then provoking them could potentially be dangerous. He was confident enough of his magical abilities and knowhow to feel secure engaging in a battle with Mathis if this were the case, but he wasn't confident that the others would come out safely, so he preferred to go about this peacefully and intelligently.

Malachi moved to take Belladonna's shoulders. He gave her a look. He forcefully, but gently, turned her around and then gave her a gentle push to start walking forward. [color=0072bc]"No more stopping. Talk and walk. Let's go."[/color]Malachi clapped his hands after Mathis had spoken and started walking ahead again, motioning for them all to join.
