Communication [Bonus]

Lucius gave Sylas a deep look. He was already aware that he had been out-maneuvered. There was no getting out of this. The Quest was too important to him. So…

He smiled.

"I'm glad that we have been able to come to an understanding, and equally as glad that you managed to make it back from such a difficult Dungeon. We can iron out the details later."

Lucius looked over the wall and toward those manning the gates.

"Open up the gates. Be prepared for battle."

The subtle words seemed to be a signal to everyone else. This, of course, wasn't a green light to attack Sylas, but rather implied that he was letting things go because they were in a precarious situation and needed to be a single unit without internal strife.

It wasn't long before Sylas was escorted into Lucius' city, and though he wasn't given any official positions just yet, judging by his accommodations, it was less because Lucius wouldn't and more that it just wasn't the right time.
