On his side of things the tall elf blinks, seemingly chagrined he's guessed so completely wrong: "So I take it the gem *doesn't* have meaning for those you care about, would care to protect?" He's nonetheless crossed the steps that once separated them, to now lay a hand on his friend's shoulder -- less like comfort, it seems, and yet more like an anchor in the passing storm, a connection to the world that is. <Response Stellan?>And then, like a delayed switch, part of him finally works out the direction of Stellan's darting eyes: not Gregof at all, as he first thought, but the table itself.
