Ah. There was what Khadgar was expecting, of course the Demon Hunter would not disappoint him with it. The menacing leer and flirtatious voice truly were exactly what the Archmage needed - well, in a nonsarcastic way, it was, otherwise... Truly what he needed. It did serve the purpose Khadgar needed of it at the very least and that was really all Khadgar could hope from it.

Zakkarius was alive, conscious and able enough to be an utter creep at him in such a situation... it calmed his nerves slightly as the worry of both the warlock and master mage began to pique no matter how briefly he allowed it too.

"I can assure you, I am not doing this willingly. If I could summon some fire it would have been done already." Khadgar kept his voice low, though he did snap at the other out of irritation of what Modera was going to say to him. Undoubtedly she would lecture him over how he should not be going gallavanting anywhere without a proper guard.

Of course, perhaps that was why he chose to go with the Demon Hunter... the risk and fleeting danger it posed. He did not see this coming, however and perhaps he should've. He should have seen this outcome and prepared for it, instead of getting his nose wet with knowledge he would have never have gotten his hands on otherwise. Such a burden is the life of a curious mage who didn't straighten his priorities in the face of things he didn't know.

"Just as I would have used a portal to remove us from this wretched place if I had the mana."
