Kherim walks towards Elmo first and hugs him.
"It's good to have you back, pal! Sorry about the clothes, eh..." he says, uncharacteristically grinning while taking a look at the warriors image of steel over bare skin. "Welcome!"
He then walks to Ivid and Gaderon.
"Well, things have been settled by now. Ivid, there's no use in keeping hard feelings towards Gaderon. He should have thought better, true, but let's at least rejoice that this wasn't a final death at least. We may die easily here, we have to remember that, so we have to keep a united front to avoid that the most we can."
"Gaderon, please, keep your wits about. I imagine you must be feeling guilty, but right now that is useful only to avoid further mistakes. We need your reasoning, and your clarity of mind. If you lose it, we may all lose more than just Elmo. I will be glad when someday I depart for Horus's company, but honestly, I'd rather have that day be as far in the future as possible. Cast the clouds away from your thought, and rejoice that Elmo is alive among us."
Kherim does not have any spare clothes either. Nor does Ahi.
Looking at Elmo's naked backside as they walk, Ahi suddenly thinks aloud: "perhaps we can find some drapery on the statues or so. Or some old vestments in some chest.
