Meeting The Council (2)

After digging into their dinner, Ashton and Astaroth were relaxing on the balcony of their quarters when they sensed a strange presence nearby. 

"Did you call room service or something?" Ashton joked. 

"I was hoping you did?" Astaroth replied, and the two knew something was odd. 

The two had been informed that no one would disturb them until their reports were out. That's why the situation had grown strange. But there was an even stranger thing. 

The figure, though, tried to hide its presence. It didn't seem hostile to the duo. Still, given the history between them and the Xyrans, they were alert as they approached the doors. 

Ashton had summoned Balmond out just in case, and Astaroth had followed suit with Raphael by his side. Ashton signalled, counting to three before opening the door.
