The blonde's sudden hug certainly caught Reriic by surprise, but he didn't react to it as poorly as most in the company would have expected him to. Instead, he watched her fly back and look about as surprised as he did, only offering a silent nod to her thanks. Their moment of awkwardness was soon interrupted by the ever-furious Chandar and for once the elf was pleased to see him. The other's arrival would focus their attention on something else: primarily the Gradian's bitching about his blackening eye. Since their altercation in the courtyard the two males had been careful to avoid one another, but Reriic was certainly not as afraid of the swordsman as the swordsman seemed to be of him. As the pair of guards bickered back and forth, Reriic fell a few paces back and watched with an amused expression darting across sharp features. Perhaps everyone in this group wasn't all bad... Adele certainly had redeeming qualities, and if she could stand Chandar maybe there was a bit more to him than the obnoxious Supreme.
Those thoughts evaporated when the trio came to a sudden halt at the foot of Jean-Baptiste looking very much like he had stepped in something unpleasant and then licked his boot just to be certain. Like his thoughts of hating members of this group less, Reriic's amused expression returned to stony bitterness as he watched Jean cow his guard for no apparent reason before them. When the blonde was dragged away physically, the elf finally turned his gaze back to Chandar. "I think I figured out where your charges' usual temperaments went... perhaps you should free it for them by killing the fish."
Reriic looked back at the retreating figures in enough time to watch the afore-mentioned fish grab Sonya by her wrist and wrench her from horseback, then drag her after him towards the portal. Despite the fact that the prince was keenly aware that Sonya could take care of herself in normal circumstances, the glowing was new and she had been anything but well during the ride. And the site of another prince running off with the woman that still held secrets Reriic desired was enough to sour even his best mood. His body stiffened and slowly a gloved hand rose from his side, miming how one would hold a small fruit they desired to crush. From his vantage, Jean was perfectly within the circle. All it would take was an exceptional amount of energy to combat the sunlight and squish. Instead, he stood frozen a moment without acting. Jean never screamed, so it was obvious that he wasn't exercising his magic either. He was just standing, glowering at the other royal's back.
When finally he moved, he left Chandar without further word and stalked after Jean. He didn't care to answer the Bashira's question about the horses, knowing that even if there were predators they would be smart enough to leave. Or his would, at least. Someone else could deal with the others and their questions, he was done with all of them.
