"I'm certain they are." And Fai still wasn't answering the actual question. There was clearly something that he didn't want to talk about here, though what it could be Yue really had no idea. Nor was he entirely sure he would get an answer if he asked; it was likely another one of those things Fai didn't want to talk about.
His main concern, though, was that he had essentially agreed to join the magician's little "group," which meant it was his responsibility to help protect them, and with Fai wandering off that made things a little difficult. After his spectacular failure the night before, Yue wanted to be especially careful. "But that's not what I asked. Since this seems more important than the search, will you be needing help?"
Yue had a moment's uncertainty even as he made the offer, wondering if he was volunteering out of some need for a substitute for his absent master. He'd like to think himself more independent than that, as well as more loyal, but the doubt remained.
