Kyrtaar listened as everyone around the room pledged themselves to his cause. A bunch of showyness, but playing the part was generally necessary when dealing with royalty. Kyrtaar followed to the war room, and listened to the prince describe his plan. Tricky, but it could work. Required a fair bit of luck to work well, and Kyrtaar frankly felt like they may have used it all up on their escape from the prison. The half elf girl suggested an adventure into the forest, to find a mythical creature that could provide a cure. He felt more likely to find that, than to survive a siege of the ruins of Ahya. 

Kyrtaar weighed his options. He could go to the ruins, and fight. Or head into the forest, try to find this creature, and if that failed, head to Elven territory to find a cure. He figured if things went poorly, and the prince suffered a crushing defeat at the ruins, and his plans failed, Kyrtaar could simply just not return. After all, Kyrtaar was an elf. He would literally just have to walk towards the Prince's forces, and they'd probably just let him be. They might draft him, but still, he was a capable warrior. The half elf girl would receive scrutiny, but with some deft lying, he'd probably be able to convince border guards that she was his daughter. He was into his second century, and half elves matured remarkably quick by elven standards. He could make it believable. And thus, ever pragmatic, Kyrtaar decided on the logical choice that saw him more likely to survive if everything went poorly. 

Kyrtaar stepped forward after the minotaur and eye patch'd man had spoken, and gave a faint smile. "I'll accompany Aevah on her journey for the Norn. Seems more my speed than a full fledged siege, and well, I've heard little of these norns and would love to learn more. And Prince?" He said, waiting a moment to get his attention before speaking again. "If you'd be so kind, I'd like my weapons back. I know I'm certainly comfortable with my hands, but well, I do enjoy my sword. And the sooner we can leave, the sooner you may be better." he finished
