Ariad glanced at Hagen's arm once more to be sure there wasn't any more nether lurking in his body and when he was sure nothing was left he returned to his seat.
It wasn't that he didn't understand the need for all the checks and acts the group was performing, it was that they couldn't completely trust him yet. But playing around with an energy source as dangerous as nether just to check if his words were through or not was a stupid decision from his viewpoint.
But it wasn't Adam's fault. They had no idea what nether was or what it was capable of either. if they had spent even just a week in the fragment of the abyss, even if nether was offered up to them on a silver platter, they would flee from it
