"General Song is—." 

Morgan began to speak, planning on listing out everything he knew about General Song's abilities and Skills; however, the Basilisk King quickly shook his head. 

The Professor was taken aback, first because he was surprised that this wasn't the information Sylas wanted, and second because this beast had picked up on the fact that it wasn't what its master needed so quickly as well. 

This was the smartest creature he had ever come across, and for a moment, the scholarly side of Morgan almost geeked out. What he did best was study peculiar minds, and a mind like the Basilisk King had him on edge. 

However, he quickly realized the situation they were in and that there wasn't much time. If he was correct, Kael would certainly report this, and though it was easy enough to bullshit a rookie without much experience, he knew enough about General Song to know the stoic man didn't have the mind of the meathead one might expect from him.
