Ermes didn’t exactly care for the tainted pair, latching on more towards Ceolfric and Eila than the two whispering would-be demons. Yet something irked him inside when Esvelee shot a comment off about Kyreth. Sure he didn’t have much care for him, but like it or not he was a part of their team right now and that meant they needed to stand together. He wanted to snap a comment back, tell her she should be more grateful that thanks to some effort of that tainted she was still standing and without the aether consuming curse of rot as it were. However, Ceolfric, Kyreth, and Eila all seemed to move past the comment. At first he was angry, wondering how all of them could be so heartless to one of their own, when Ermes realised they weren’t, they just simply couldn’t speak out, threaten, or attack the one person they were sent here to protect. If they did then chances were they weren’t going to be getting accepted into the guild anytime soon. So Ermes chewed on his lip in silence, listening as the conversation continued without him while making sure to pay attention to Cerric’s explanation of the events that happened beforehand. It made…some sense to him, but thankfully for him Ceolfric pressed on with more questions on the matter. Kyreth’s answer didn’t help much at first, causing Ermes’s face to contort in confusion as he tried to piece together Cerric’s snake wiggles with Kyreth’s ripples.

He kept his attention on the tainted for a moment before he finally spoke up. [color=7b5d92]”So if aether is all around us…and we think of it being like that puddle but with more shape then it’d be a sphere like what Cerric had shown us. Meaning you can [i]feel[/i] what's around you but you can’t exactly see it all…unless something large enough comes to disturb it causing ripples to form and a way to see a massive about of aether pooling into one place from where the metaphorical rock came from? So then you can only see when actual danger is coming but you can’t see smaller scaled changes?”[/color] Ermes’s thoughts went from asking Eila and Kyreth combined, to more so talking to himself instead as he went on. He wanted to ask if Kyreth could also sense his own aether, but then he felt as though he’d be giving too much away…then again they were supposed to be working together on all of this to figure out exactly how to work together for the next rot infested fight. There was a large sigh as he placed both hands on either side of him and he tilted his head back to look up at the sky. [color=7b5d92]”Ok, so Kyreth you’re our early warning system in case more rot creatures are formed nearby, or in case the Rancor itself decides to show up. What about you Lilan? You’re aetherborn too, so what can you do and if anything what do you sense?”[/color]
