11 The Council

Luckily for them, they make it back just in time to grab some dinner. The brothers are already at the table with Ronan and bickering about the sword that’s now safely tucked away in their room.

“Where is it?” Aleon whispers, looking around the room nervously.

“Where’s what?” Kato retorts, hoping Aleon gets the hint to drop it, and when his brother just narrows his gaze and looks down at his plate, he knows they’re on the same page. “Looks like we missed the twins. Were they in here when you two arrived?”

“Where were you all, anyway?” Rone asks, and Kato decides to tell him a half-truth.

“We found a room.” It’s not the answer Ronan is looking for, but he doesn’t press for more even after Kato mouths “we’ll tell you later.”

Teagon’s still chewing when he answers Kato’s previous question. “They were just leaving when we got in. Were you planning on asking questions or something?”

Knowing he shouldn’t go too deep into it, Kato simply shrugs and lets Azrian decide how much to say.

“Aren’t you curious at all about that city?” Az asks. “I don’t really know the other Regnum well enough to ask or trust whatever answer they give us, but I feel like the twins would be honest.”

“True,” Aleon agrees. “But I’m not sure anyone will know about the sword or the armor. There wasn’t anything else like it down there.”

“We don’t actually know that. We only made it through a fraction of those buildings.” Teagon tears off a piece of meat with his teeth and points to his brother. “Gotta go back, see what we can find. Bet there’s loads of good stuff we didn’t see.”

“And another sword maybe,” Aleon adds, wiggling his eyebrows.

“Is that all you can think about?” Kato chuckles at his brother’s one-track mind. “We do need to go back though. I think it’s the only place that we’ll find answers.”

The prospect of finding answers has them all silent and contemplative as they eat. Eventually, some of the other Regnum file in and Azrian seems uneasy in their presence — something that hasn’t really happened yet. He tugs on Kato’s sleeve as Teagon, Aleon and Ronan head outside for some fresh air. “I don’t really want to stick around here. Can we go find Erante? We haven’t gotten a chance to talk to him yet and I really think we should.”

Kato stands without question, not wanting to stay in there any longer either. “I’ve been wanting to talk to him as well. Hopefully just him without the others around. If even he feels like a castaway in a place like this, how do we even begin to change the world?”

“You and your plans,” Azrian says fondly. “I'm beginning to think we don't know enough about this world to change it.” He glances around them as they walk toward the door, dropping his voice so low that Kato has to duck down to hear him. “I mean... I feel like I don't know anything about Athoze anymore.
