Aldelros straightened up when the boy addressed him, whether that was posturing or standoffishness it was unclear beyond the obvious desire for distance he was demanding with his body language.

You other two can follow us in but keep up with one of us."

She at least carried herself in the right way, at least. In moments he was slipping behind the fronds and into the bushes; stepping lightly as to not make noise as he made his way around the side of where the observed disturbance originated.
