Astaroth pulled something from his inventory, the light of the appearing item bringing the attention back to him. As the white light faded away, he took the scroll in his hands and tossed it to Gelum'vire.
He knew the old mage would want to read it before the prince, to make sure it wasn't anything dangerous, so he went with tossing it to him, directly.
As Gelum'vire caught the scroll, he carefully opened it, starting to read its contents. It took him no longer than ten seconds to have his jaw suddenly go slack, his eyes widening, as his gaze went from the paper in his hands, to Astaroth, and back to the scroll.
He rapidly gave the precious scroll to Nalafein before looking at Astaroth with a deep look of respect and appreciation. Not everyone would give away such a precious item, without making demands much more restraining than he had asked of them up to now.
