C375. Athena's Desires

 Reynald remained silent as he thought about his sister's words. He had indeed been expecting the Darknar family to send over a representative given as their representative hadn't completely shut down the possibility of vassalage even though it had morphed into mere trade possibilities. 

 However, part of him had begun to secretly doubt that idea as he couldn't see the benefit of them going through such trouble just because of a wounded family like theirs, given the situation that had taken place during Paragon City's opening ceremony. 

 If they had successfully opened talks for an alliance, that would be a different story but there wasn't much their family could offer the Darknar family in their current state unless they were submitting to them, something the elders would never agree to. 

 Still, the fact that his genius sister felt that it was about time for the other side to send an envoy, meant that she had found a reason why they would without fail.
