Preparations

Damian had tuned out by now, busy thinking of ways to improve his invisible box spell. It had proven quite useful recently, if just he could find a way to use that single unbreakable wall of the four in the box separately, nothing could ever touch him. Suddenly, all heads turned towards him. For a moment, he thought he was being ordered to do something, but then he saw Lady Vidalia's uninterested face and realized that wasn't the case.

"That is insane," Aramis protested immediately.

"I don't see any problem with it. The pros far outweigh the cons," said the old veteran female knight. The other veterans nodded in agreement. Many knights and second-rankers considered the suggestion and found it plausible.

Were they really going with his idea? Were they seriously preparing for war here? At least bring a good tactician or something—were only the powerful worthy of attending this ultra-important, dumb meeting?
