Srafel wasn't quite sure exactly what Weiss was thinking of doing. He knew that he himself could not be killed by the likes of a mere wizard with some elemental firecrackers. Whether Weiss knew that, Srafel wasn't sure either. Then, if Weiss would turn his aggression towards the temple or its surroundings, Srafel knew he wouldn't have to do anything to protect it -- Weiss would perish duely, not to mentioned painfully, by making such a sacreligious assault. Srafel decided to stand back and take a bystander position. A smile curled onto his lips, as he knew Weiss could do nothing to both him and the temple. He had no words for Weiss. He was rapidly losing respect for the old man.

Now reaching an arm down to Srafel, Weiss would clasp his fingers into a fist again and again, and as he did so, a staircase of ghostly ice would rise.
"Come up here and tell me something Srafel! Justify your beleifs in the eyes of the Behemoth!"
Now Weiss stood atop a staircase to nowhere, on a perch that could see for miles around. One could truly hear the breath of the world when standing amidst a blizzard.

The young man showed a face of disgust. He looked compelled to turn around and simply walk away, as he didn't feel the need to justify himself to someone with so little knowledge and such an unwillingness to listen to words that were constantly going unsaid. He walked to the base of the staircase and stared down at it as though it was a dog waiting outside in the rain -- waiting for shelter and warmth. He stepped up it and then ascended very slowly, his gaze now fixed on Weiss at the top.
When he reached the top, he whispered, "If you are ever to ask someone to share their thoughts, do not raise yourself up to a falsely superior position. It is both insulting and rediculous." He moved nearer Weiss, his voice eerily hush. "My life ended long ago. This may be my punishment, but... it is all I have. I won't justify anything to you, and don't talk about the Grand Behemoth as though you have any kind of 'connections'. I'm following orders. You're not."
He stepped back, his weary eyes falling down to the wasteland below them. As he began to descend again, he stopped to mutter a few last words. "Go home, old man... Just go home."

Grasping the back of Srafel's collar, Weiss muttered accross the dying wind.
"Do you not feel your true superior? As you stand in his wake?"
Then Weiss did something foolish and pointless. He stepped from the platform. Plummetted a little, but was then swept up into the sky. Floating loveably around for a little, his hair flying everywhere but in a straight line around him, he would land in front of Srafel, who had likely continued his Angsty decent.
"And trust me boy, staying out here all the time makes you pretty bored! And knowledge is the cure for boredom!" And then, with a twirl rising like some insane fairy into the wind. "I know everything about the temples! But that just made me ask questions..."
The old coot would then after some rambling come to rest upon the walls of the temple.
"Although, I've never figured how to get indoors! Ahahahaaa!" Weiss patted the side of temple like it was some giant pet, before seating himself atop the wall.

Srafel walked towards the raised part Weiss was on, glancing up at the man with little more than an unimpressed expression, and he walked to the wall below Weiss, out of the man's sight. Had Weiss then leant over to see where Srafel was, he would have found that the youth was no longer standing there. He silently disappeared while facing this solid wall of giant blue-grey stone. He had had enough.
[It could end or continue for a little more, depending on what Weiss wants to do]

Knowing exactly what Srafel had done, Weiss laughed a little more, and looked silently up into the never ending blizzard. And just for a moment, in a flicker, Weiss was sure that he had seen him. Watching from lands distant. The Behemoth himself.
No. The temples were not useless. But yes. They were indeed in danger.
[Ok, move to finished!]
