Aris doesn't notice the silent entity's arrival either. Not until Armani screams and throws the bag of salt, anyway. He jolts, nearly dropping his journal as he jerks his head up, sees the masked figure, and slams the book closed so he can reach for his temporary wand. Not actually knowing what he intends to if the thing ignores him, he makes a pointed gesture with his wand and calls, "Hey...! Stay back!"

What is this thing even doing here? What does it want? Somehow, he doubts it's going to tell them.
