“That isn’t necessary,” Rezo says, looking somewhat puzzled by Zelgadis’s announcement. At the same time, his tone is matter of fact- he’s very capable of defending himself with his magic.

(...Admittedly, yes, there is the vision thing, but he’s quick with a shielding spell!)

Still, he doesn’t try to actually stop Zelgadis from following, whether it’s by ground or by air, though he’s also not slowing down or otherwise helping Zel to follow him.

Rezo flies in the direction the explosion came from, progressing at an impressive clip; but, when he’s close, he’ll drop to the ground. Flying is efficient for speed, but he prefers to be able to feel the ground underneath him.

Rezo shifts his feet, feeling out the ruined terrain, and listens carefully for both any sound of Zelgadis, and to the sound of rubble tumbling nearby.
