The Silver Surfer wasn't capable of hiding all of his emotions and the thoughtful look on his face made it clear he wasn't unmoved by Rich's words.
But he wasn't the only herald and it was also clear that despite the fact he had a little bit of sway over his partner, he couldn't act unilaterally, either.
"This insect had no part in freeing the Devourer from his humiliation, Surfer. Your misguided feelings won't stop me from crushing the remnants of the Nova Corps if he tries to keep my master from granting his blessing to these insignificant specks," Stardust said, pointing her spear at Rich.
The thoughtful look left Surfer's face and all that was left was resignation.
"No," the Surfer said, staying his partner's hand. "The Earthling, like others of his race, are my responsibility. Go to your mindless slaughter, Ethereal. I shall deal with Nova Prime as I see fit."
With that, Stardust flew off, looking back once, making it clear she didn't like what the Surfer was doing. Rich and the Surfer were left standing there.
