"Perhaps it is a test of some sort." Kadan replied to Vera, though in his mind he knew it most definitely was a test by the dark lord. As the man followed her into the ship, breaking off into a different direction towards the cockpit once more where he took a seat, partly familiarizing himself with the interior, other part waiting until they could get going.

"An apprentice?" Kadan inquired, as he came from the other direction on the ship, moving towards Naraal and Vera, pausing a distance away, folding his arms as he stood, a slight smirk on his face.

"He is still weak, barely more than a boy," Kadan muttered, his tone one filled with wonder as well as amusement at the kid being brought along on such a critical mission. "But he is [i]your[/i] apprentice, my words are nothing but the rambles of a near stranger. Just, keep him under control..." Then with those words he left, his robe gliding along with him as he walked out of sight, returning to the cockpit where he seated himself in the chair next to the pilot's. Composing himself for the moments to come.
