Thalia wanted to follow him.

Noa, on the other hand, walked calmly.
'I knew they would come. But this is too soon. What did that old fart say for them to act so rashly?' he thought, observing the two guards guiding his way.
There was nothing his bare eyes could detect on them, especially with no beasts in sight.
