He didn't mind the silence really, it was true he could see better then her in the darkness but it's only use at the moment was to ensure they weren't being followed. Each step he was trying to think of how he was going to study this girl's powers without getting either one of them killed in the process. She had no training not even a guiding hand, this was the most dangerous type of magic out there.. and it was far from refined in this girl.

Though when she finally spoke saying she was tired he figured she'd have to be sooner or later, if you weren't use to traveling then this was a long trek for sure. Really he felt rather like a idiot for not stealing the damned horse but it was a bit late for that now. Once she was seated it was easy enough to tell how tired she really was, though he figured she was going to have a rough time really resting with everything that happened today. Plus his own presence wasn't something anything too encouraging either.

He had kept the hood up this whole time, though when she had crashed into him she probably did see part of his face, though he had his reasons for wanting to keep it hidden... certain marks made it rather easy to spot him... plus he still had half a mind to drop this girl off at the next nearest light elf village he crossed paths with.

"you should try to get some rest, i'll stand watch. If it concerns you of my presence that much I can do so further away." He said right after his first remark catching the look she gave him. Though he didn't let her answer as he took a few steps holding one hand out for a brief seconds before he seemed to step a few odd paces away. An eerie light glowed softly on the ground slowly curving and forming a pattern of sorts as he muttered a few incoherent words.

Once he seemed to finish with the spell the glow remained on the ground and the surface seemed to shift and move a little as what looked to be a skeletal bird clawed it's way from the surface., it's eyes filled with the same purple glow as it faded from the ground. "Search and report" He hissed out to it as the creature seemed to take to the air instantly after it was summoned following it's summoners orders.

So these arts were far from common themselves, really they were part of the forbidden magics that were suppose to be lost. But he had spent most of hi life studying and trying to under stand them. Over the years it became easier and the dark spells were second nature, though he disliked doing them in front of others. But there was a few reasons for this... one they were the dark arts and two they were something that most feared. Personally he had enough issues as it was without adding fear of the common folk to his list.
