Once the meeting with Rodney was over, he let the man get some quick shuteye. Although he would only get two or three hours of sleep, at most, it would still stave off his current fatigue.
As a man who grew up in a militaristic upbringing and lived an adventurer's life, he was accustomed to this. It might not bring him back to a hundred percent, but he would be pretty darn close.
Astaroth left Rodney's office feeling a fire lighting in his chest. They were going to Themiscus to defend their actions, but he would not waste the opportunity to show their council he had earned his place in the alliance.
If the diplomat was showing a bit of reticence toward him, then he could guess the rulers of Themiscus might also feel this way.
This caused Astaroth to wonder who else in the alliance felt like he might not belong. If they allowed Stellar Woodlands to join because of Leon, there was no telling what they thought of him.
