Maxed Out

"Well, I'm excited about the future?" He answered with a shrug, not going into detail.

Dilan tried not to look excited or as if he was anticipating something because they had just lost 30ish brave Ascenders. This was a great loss for the Undying group and he would seem inconsiderate and like a jerk if he, as the leader of the Undying group, wouldn't act even the slightest remorseful for the losses.

He knew that he had to become a good leader but that was much harder than one could think. It was truly difficult but Dilan gave his best.

He calmed his wildly beating heart and went to offer his condolences to the families of the brave Ascenders who had died valiantly today to protect Shiron and their dream.

There weren't many Ascenders, who had reunited with their families after the Primordial Ascension, which was why Dilan chose to give his condolences to their friends and lovers as well.
