The cloud giant spoke briefly with each member of the company. It was clear that he was very intelligent and had a keen interest in many subjects. However, it was also apparent that he was extremely arrogant. Still, he was essentially polite, and he did not press for any details that anyone withheld from him.
He took a particular interest in Doc, who he said had "winds that flitted about (him) that were not of the natural world".
When he was done, he told them, "I will return now to Castle Volaire and will depart immediately. I warn you: While I have not chosen to ally myself with these giants, they are of the Ordening, and therefore I will be obligated to defend them if they are assaulted in my presence. I suggest that you wait until the Castle is over the horizon before you come into conflict with any giant."
