Confounding Variable (3)
Roughly an hour ago, when Basil and the others had just arrived at Familia Hotel, he briefly excused himself to have a little bit of a talk with some of his staffs. Iliana didn't want to leave him behind, so she insisted on waiting for him.
Basil didn't tell her otherwise; he told them to wait in the lounge room instead. As Basil had his talk with his staffs, the Knights and the unoccupied staffs helped the civilians settle themselves.
They brought the civilians to the unoccupied room, so the civilians could rest their tired body.
As soon as Iliana and the rest of Team 4 went out of sight, Basil concluded his talk with his staffs, then looked for Thompson. He met Thompson, who was still helping a civilian at that time, on the third floor.
"I have something to talk about."
