Eye's darted between the man and every object in the room until he chanced a peek at where Aurin pointed for his belongings. Indeed he was telling the truth with two daggers, a cloak, and the broken remains of his mask laying neatly in a folded pile. Even looking up to see the two locking mechanisms just as he described gave Yshvold time to think on the situation at hand.
If they were going to kill them they would have done so already, or at least left him where he dropped back in the waterways. He needed to think first and then act or else he risks severing this relationship and everything he could gain from it, the man isn't going to go anywhere anyway from the way he was talking.
It took a few minutes for him to calm his breathing and relax, all the while keeping a close eye on Aurin. In that time the aches and pains from over exerting himself caught up as the adrenaline stopped pumping and slowly left his system. Yshvold didn't collapse but he wasn't exactly steady on his feet either, keeping a hand on the door and the other on a knee to brace himself.
"Hahseu..." Words came out with a visible cringe in his eyes. Not once did he want to stay another night in this god's forsaken place. but it seems like he wasn't going to get anything he wanted.
"I don't remember, did you kill it? Was it your crystals that attacked it?" Much of the conflict was a blur but bits and pieces. Crystals bombarding whatever that thing was, getting hit, and a wet feeling all around his body. This man must know something.
His own hubris led him to this state of helplessness and all he could do is fish for answers. He would run, but his body is betraying him and wont act as he wants. This boy needs rest before he may do anything else.
