Aiden watched as Zae'ju spoke to his brother. It finally made sense and he understood a bit better now. There were always little intricacies to the Troll world that he was discovering and this was one of them. Now that he knew any oath made to a human wasn't any good he would have to keep in mind that if he wanted Xen'tu to do anything or keep his word that it would have to be a vow made to Zae'ju.
Finally satisfied that his family would be safe Aiden laid down. Perhaps he had been a little pushy on the subject, or even annoying, but it didn't matter to him. As long as his family was safe he was going to accept any outcome. Preparing for the gate wasn't going to be too hard. Aiden had been through enough of them to know that he and the Troll's wouldn't be having too much fun. It was a hassle to get through any gate and he imagined that nobody would like letting him through with two Trolls. Not to mention there was always that part of society, mainly the elves that were determined to think of everyone as more lowly than themselves.
By the time the next morning rolled around Aiden was feeling a little more charitable toward his friends and better rested. Usually having a decent amount of rest would improve his outlook on life and others. Quickly rolling his blanket and then shaking what dust he could from it he strapped it back onto his pack. He had a few small dried rations that would make for a decent breakfast while they were on the road. "C'mon." Setting a hand on Zae'ju's shoulder he shook him gently. "We need to hurry to the gate. Should get this over with." They both wanted to get back to their families and now that the only 2 who knew of his family had sworn to leave them alone Aiden was prepared. Anxious if anything to see the job done.
As soon as his friend rose from his place on the ground Aiden thrust a small dried piece of meat into his hands. "Eat." Stepping over one spot he shook Xen'tu's shoulder and thrust a piece of meat into his hand. "We move now and we don't stop till we're past the gate and into the first town. I know an innkeeper and you'll want to stay close to me." If they didn't it would surely be trouble for the Trolls.
