All the while that Noctis had been speaking, only his mouth and eyes had been moving. He had his face turned towards Rowan and his body facing the forge. He was still like a statue, making Rowan wonder whether the person talking to him was just a representation of this temple, not an individual being.
It was odd that the remaining eight members here still remained frozen, despite the presence of Rowan, and made no move to reveal themselves, and with the cloak on their bodies, Rowan could not tell if they were awake or dead.
Rowan remained silent when Noctis spoke of many things that he did not know; he knew an obvious trap when he saw it. The words of Noctis were highly insensitive; it was like blaming a cripple at birth that he could not run.
