It was a quick run outside, the Heartless in the way no match for what was thrown against them. It gave Thomas a chance to observe Jake's combat skills, and he conceded that the older warrior had experience, and an evident pre disposition towards close range combat, though the jury was still out on that when there were only weak Heartless to fight. Once outside, he watched the exchange with some awkward confusion, not knowing the dynamics or story here and so he stayed silent as Taran decided to come back with them to face whoever the Big Bad was here. He had his own opinions on whether Reno needed help, but kept them to himself in any case. Jake would learn about that little facet himself soon enough, no need for Thomas to tell him.

So, they went back inside, Thomas hitting whatever was left over from Jake and Tarans attacks, providing magical support for what it was worth, though he made an effort to save energy for whatever fight was to come.The throne room was soon reached, and with Thomas near Jake, he soon got to enjoy the lingering smell as well. "Oh god that reeks," he added, pinching his nostrils shut as much as it helped with it. His eyes scanned the chamber, picking out a figure behind a wall of ice and the very evil looking figure waiting for them. As if he needed more approval, the ominous laugh and mention of Reno and Belle not being there was enough. "Whatever you did to them,. you're not going to get away with it," he replied, hands clenching as he dropped into a combat stance. 

admittedly, there was a part of him that didn't feel bad about something happening to Reno, but that was overpowered by general concern. The fight was joined as Thomas moved forward, lashing out with his own Fira spells, to take down this 'Horned King', He didn't have any bag of bones so it wasn't like that was his job in any case. so it was moving, and dodging after he activated his armor with the appearance of an actual threat and began the magical duel.
