Talos didn't seem to mind Ellie's lack of attention. He had accepted that she wasn't going to want to talk to him any time soon, not until she had some food in her belly... which she hadn't even ordered yet. He realized that was probably just an excuse to wait for Alek, when it boiled down to it. But no matter.

Talos had been keeping a close eye on the rest of the Tavern. There was a Priestly looking man who he hadn't noticed before, and didn't pay much mind to as of yet; a priest was seldom a threat in intent or ability to a Paladin, though once their ally returned, he would have to keep an eye on him.

And, speak of the devil (No pun intended), there he was. He looked haggard, drained. His pallor seemed to have increased. He showed all the signs of having recently fed, except for the self satisfaction he usually saw in Vampires. That, at least, showed he was indeed unfond of his current form.

When Alek had sat and slumped down at the table, Talos made sure to do away with his usual disgust. It was difficult, even as allies, to sit in the presence of a known Vampire. But he would be strong for his brother.

"Be at peace, and find your wall; Seek release, from enemies all," he recites from one of the Paladin texts.
