(Gotcha.)

Malus, who had played his part in their battle with the vampires by more or less acting as a walking fortress, wasn't entirely sure what to make of the situation. On one hand, Xerxes seemed friendly enough. On the other, he came off as a little questionable and perhaps dangerous. Malus didn't tire, of course, but he wasn't exactly looking to pick a fight with a powerful mage anytime soon.

Malus suspected he wasn't alone in thinking that, either. He noted that almost as soon as Xerxes revealed himself, Diaval froze and seemed to tense up like a well-drawn bowstring, as if he were quite wary of the necromancer. He still had yet to say anything and his mask obscured his face, but it wasn't hard to tell that Diaval was very uncomfortable here... perhaps even fearful of Xerxes and the crypt they had entered.

Malus supposed that was sensible. It wasn't that often that one saw Daedra worshippers, and even when you did, it usually wasn't a good sign.
