Better ally

Khan and Lord Exr kept chatting over minor things for a while. The two had similar mindsets, so finding topics to discuss wasn't a problem. Lord Exr often laughed, too, but the atmosphere changed when a ship landed on the nearby landing area.

The terrace allowed Khan and Lord Exr to watch the ship and crew's movements. A team of Thilku landed on the platform and headed for the elevator, reaching the streets below. A ride picked them up, leading them to the structure where the feast was being held.

The soldiers in the structure refilled the table in the meantime. More food and drinks arrived, but neither Khan nor Lord Exr touched them. The two stood up, waiting for the important figure to arrive.

A team of Thilku soon climbed to the terrace, but Khan and Lord Exr only had eyes for the figure at its center. Lord Rsi proudly advanced toward the table, his expression as stern as always. Yet, Khan noticed the slight annoyance in his mana.
