Once again he glances back over his shoulder at the Wizard, his brow creasing just slightly. He knows she's limited in the way she can answer their questions, but it is still frustrating and utterly off-putting to have her deflect while her counterpart lies so calmly. He doesn't waver, but he does make a note to ask her about it later.

"What were you doing to Seven? Why not just kill them while you had them?" he returns, as if it's an interview. He's noted the Protector's response and he's making no further comment on it for now. He does start pushing himself back to his feet though, his gaze locked on the handle of the sword as it begins to glow. He doesn't pull his shield up yet, but he does ready himself to block the titanic force he's pretty sure is coming if the Protector gets his way.
