Nothing in the moment suggests anything but a brief intermission in the weaving of a tale. One with a future that does not look pleasant for the 'protagonist' who shifts his attention only briefly toward Tidus and Q'uila with a look that all but demands.
Stay put.
With Zenos leaving, Elidibus has to tend to the barrier. While the gesture that sends the patterns and wards unweaving may cause him to seem unaffected, even at ease with such lofty spell craft, he is not. Had the situation escalated to battle, he'd have been vulnerable. A barrier of that size and strength, no real extant source of aether to draw from and against Zenos?
But now it's gone and the Garlean Emperor-Elect can leave unimpeded. It's only after the Ascian is utterly certain- a good thirty seconds after the new 'Voidtrecker' has left- that he turns to Q'uila and Tidus.
She has certainly seen that expression of anger before. The cold fury of the ancient Unsundered who saw nothing but death itself in front of him and would see it gone. His voice is ice.
"Pray tell me, Warrior of Darkness. What were you thinking?" Tidus... does not seem to be the direct target of the Ascian's ire; not by any means. A glance of lessened anger; as if Elidibus were upset at him though for far less reasons than Q'uila.
Or perhaps upset for his sake though with the anger toward the miqo'te that is very hard to tell indeed.
"I bid Tidus seek you out so you may at the very least impart a modicum of gravity of the situation to him and perhaps the others who were listening. Not," and here the word is very nearly barked in its intensity, "ask for snacks and waltz in here with him in tow when we knew naught of Zenos's intentions!"
Want to make Elidibus finally snap? Apparently one simply needs to put those whom he's promised to aid and protect at extreme risk with thoughtless action. That he'd feel so strongly though; that may come as a surprise. That he calls her 'Warrior of Darkness'... well, perhaps that's a sign of that wall between her and the one he knows breaking down a little in his outrage. He's focused right back on her.
