The King's Lament (6)

Kyran let Dusk gave a brief explanation of what transpired before their call.

A slight crease appeared on Axil's usual straight-laced face. She glanced at Kyran for the briefest moment that Dusk failed to notice.

Kyran had seen it though, and in that brief look, he managed to convey his desire to speak to her alone.

After hearing what Dusk needed to report, Axil advised him to continue with his other task while she discuss their next course of action with the rest of the members. Deception might have implied that the Somuli Sovereign chose to join their faction but since Flos remained silent about it, Axil believed it wise to not jump into conclusion. Nevertheless, the fact that Deception was granted a position that practically gave her free reign in moving around the plane was concerning. Axil advised Dusk to be extra careful.

When they were done, Axil asked Dusk to step outside so she could speak with Kyran.
