Cassian lowered his head in guilt, he did not say a single word but Jian already had all the answers he was looking for.
"All five of you then, and throw in Everon as well." Jian surmised.
It was not hard to figure his brothers out, he had known them for far longer than most people had even lived.
Yet Jian guessed he must truly have had his mind clouded, to not have noticed what they were up to until now.
"Jian, I am willing to admit that it was wrong of us to keep you in the dark and bring you out here against your will..." Cassian began to say but was cut off again.
"Wrong is an understatement. You have directly disobeyed my orders... I do not favour insubordination." Jian made clear, his tone eerily calm.
Cassian breathed a heavy sigh, running a hand through his hair, he bit down on his lip, a habit of his whenever he was in a struggle to restrain himself but was losing patience.
