Asevor's countenance soured, twisting into a facade of rage. These [i]vermins [/i]dare refuse his goodwill? Truly, violence was the only language they understood. If so, then he'll show them. Drained as he were, he still could had several tricks up his sleeve.

Explosion rocked him, the aftershock of the shockwave painfully rattling the old man's bones. Hairline cracks dotted the surface of the barrier, but otherwise it remained sturdy. Then there's the frost that latched on his lower half. That needed to go. Directing his ring downward, a blast of pure force shattered the ice layer - more shockwave to his legs, but he's now free. Floating straight up, he directed his fist as yet another ring activated at the impertinent little elf.

A healthy dose of mind-fray should keep her off his back for a moment.

He could stay, yes, but Asevor's still a coward at the core. Without another look he shot straight to the door, fully intending to abandon the scene to whatever fate it's doomed to. If nothing else, the detonation of the iron prison should be cathartic to watch from afar.

[b][color=#d896ff]"Asevor? Is that the wizard in purple?"[/color][/b] Questioned the prince, a bit deflated that the Duchess wasn't present. But still, since they're unbothered so far the rescuers should be having it well in control. They only need to figure out how to finagle open the door. No pressure there...

[b][color=#d896ff]"He's a nasty one, pardon my choice of words. I did tried escaping once, took hostage of the maid that came to clean. He sound [i]bored [/i]when he said that I'm welcome to kill her, but then I'll need to survive on her flesh because they'll stop sending anyone with food or to clean. Can you believe that?"[/color][/b] The prince shuddered at the memory, and how the maid in question had tearfully begged for her life. He had to let her go and behave from then on. What else could he do? [b][color=#d896ff]"Ahem, anyway. There's no visual change to the door, but it does make some kind of low humming noise when it's opening. Took about... three seconds, I think? And the same noise but in backward when it's closed and locking. The runes wasn't visible at all though."[/color][/b]
