The appearance of the ward currently obstructing their way into Abyssos had come as a highly unwelcome surprise. As it seals their only way forward, the path that needs to be taken, Themis has since turned his attention toward dealing with it once other matters, such as seeing their new ally off, have been taken care of. He wonders if a bit of research into the matter may help. It usually does. But he is also concerned with the state of Asphodelos' protections.
With this thought in mind, it's the very sound of the words in his ears that pull him from his contemplations, as if for a brief second he wonders if he'd himself been speaking aloud accidentally. Of course, instead it is Erichthonios, and he looks up, giving the suggestion some consideration.
"'Tis true, I do mean to send a message to my friend. But it isn't urgent. And there is the matter of the warding sigil..." Even as his eyes close for a moment so that he can take quick stock of the aforementioned protections, the other matter is never far from mind. "But I suppose I can't put off everything for the sake of a new responsibility. Are you sure you feel things are quite in hand here?"
