Drake smiled seeing his friend finally open the door, though held his nose slightly and rose a brow. "Right decision, but first, we need to clean you up. I can't have a friend in this state." He patted Locke on the shoulder. "We have books and scrolls and such that needs an alchemist to dive into them. and some sadly still need work on cracking what they say." He would let him clean up before waiting for him with the others.

"About time." Drake said turning as he heard Locke. He was curious about the new appearance but would be fine with it. "The big old book by the bed is a good place to start as any, but I believe Jack was cooking up one hell of a meal, And all that sleeping and lazing about, I'm sure Sam wants to check your arm." He tried to be supportive of the others making a slight nod towards Locke. "It's good to have you back. And as soon as we break this thing and figure out portals, the sooner Andrea will be back." He didn't want to mention the long shot of that but knew that could come later.

The group would eat and such before diving into the scrolls and books Drake had brought back with him. He watched Sam work her magic for Locke's arm. It, like alchemy was interesting enough to peek his own interest in the other ways of their own world. He had knowledge of them but never got to see much on anything then what mystics could do. He looked over one scroll seeing familiar patterns at this point but had little idea on what any of it meant.

He looked between them all as he brought his head out of one of the scrolls. He wasn't sure they were ready to open a portal, even for a test run. "Guys I know the clansmen made this look easy really, but considering, mystic, sorcerer, I think you are Jack, and an alchemist who's still learning his abilities, shouldn't we be a bit more cautious before trying to actually open one? Magics and natural ways often don't mix too too well." He wanted to make sure everyone would be safe before trying to open a portal, not matter how anxious they were to do so.

He nodded, though only slightly. He wasn't sure it was a wise idea but knew something had to be started at some point. "All right then, but, we'll all need some kind of armor just in case we succeed. Right portal or not, if she comes through or not, we don't know what's on the other side or what could come out or get thrown in." He then stood looking to them all and waited. He knew they were anxious but knew they needed some caution as well.

Drake wouldn't let it get much farther as he began shooing Locke and Jack out of the room with him and some things they would need. He knew Sam was good at what she did and would need her if something happened to Locke's arm. He gathered the horses and some more things he thought they would need before riding out with them. He could at least attempt to help though his magic didn't work in a portal sense in the least. After riding for a bit they would stop deciding on a place and began the set ups. "You two prepared for what may come through?"

He watched the two taking hold and tying down the horses so they wouldn't get away. Then watched as the two began making their preparations and what not to begin. He would help when needed but saw how little help he ended up being. The only skill he had magically is not one he cared to share. Conjuring shades was not something discussed with other mystics, though them being humans he wasn't sure the rules still applied. He also wondered if the others knew. He knew Jack knew something from when they had first met for the most part just not what he had done, which was not something he cared to repeat. Each shade lost was as painful as if he'd been the one hit, the trade off for using what's considered dark conjuring, though knew better then to conjure anything stronger then a shade. He eventually called out to the two seeing both finishing up. "You both about ready to start this?"

Drake nodded going to Jack as he had called. At the mention of his own skills he shifted uncomfortably. He sighed trying to play it off though. "It's not something my people smile about. Shadow mystics are like the black sheep of the star children. And none that I knew of let most live that knew of their abilities. You're lucky, there are few of us that are willing to let others live." He would nod though a moment more before he went about the circle pushing a shade within various spots along the edge and giving a quiet command. He then would nod towards Jack and Locke. "My end is set." He would step a bit out of the way and let them so their thing and hoped the trial would work.
