Unexpected help

"Sir, if I may ask, how did the negotiations go?" Antion asked as he followed Tom back to where Irea was resting. 

"Sadly, the troubles within our camp prevented me from getting any real talks done," Layn replied honestly, not seeing any merits in lying to the man. "But it's not like we will return completely empty-handed. Rather than that, I already know what we will have to build back at the camp next," he added, looking in the direction where their small settlement was. 

"Huh?" Antion shrugged in surprise, not expecting the matter of buildings to come up so suddenly. "We will need to build something. The need for that kind of building only appeared after you met with the other party..." Antion muttered under his nose before sharply raising his head and looking at Layn's face. "Boss, is this going to be an embassy of sorts?" he asked, putting forth his guess.
