With as many weapons as he handed out, the knight's eyes were constantly going back to the Luminary. He couldn't help but feel for the passengers and especially those unable to assist themselves or bear arms. But he tried to give an encouraging word or two, because the ship had to be left behind. If it was to go down, then Hendrik didn't want to see any of the innocents aboard perish.

He stuck to his code that a knight of Heliodor didn't abandon those in need. And when the boy returned to him, he nodded as the last passenger left his sight.

"Then you should go first and I will cover your escape."

His axe and shield were ready to speak for him.
