"Just keep it in mind." His voice drops in volume for once, but is nonetheless sincere.
In a rare show of growth, he has better come to understand when people need their peace so he gives that to Ambika. He doesn't voice his goodbye just a small nod and subtle wave to signal the departure. Gerhart rests his palms on the pommels of his swords as her turns to walk away.
The ranger stops in with the driver to let him know everything is safe and in order. A few other people also check in to get the latest updates. It was a small community so everyone was aware of what had happened. Obviously they are all happy to hear Mika is home and safe with just a few bruises to hopefully help the lessons sink in. Many overly enthusiastic handshakes are given as they all thank him repeatedly for stepping up to help.
For a moment he debated pointing out Ambika and letting them know he wasn't alone. Rather than send random townsfolk after her, he just makes vague mention that he had help and it wasn't all on him. It wasn't hard to guess that she would not have appreciated the crowd. As a guy who loves talking, he could take on that burden pretty easily.
Though even he has to end the conversation eventually, lest he be stuck here forever. He gives a whistle to the sky and a large shadow passes over the town. It grows larger and larger till the massive Halcyon lands in the town center, or what counts as a town square here. Gerhart boosts himself up into the saddle, giving one last goodbye before taking to the air again. As successful as it was, the mission does nag at the back of his mind as they fly home. Tensions were growing and it was making people desperate....likely going to make more kids like him...orphans. Not a pleasant thought to hang on to, but maybe he can do something for others now.
