The Meeting with the Foxes

There weren't as many people in the conference room as Lee Seng thought. He had met most of these people and chatted with them the night they ate in the Flower Forest, but he was bad at remembering all of their names. They all looked at him in shock like Valen had. They seemed to give each other knowing glances like they were telepathically talking.

'Better than whispering right in front of me.' Lee Seng thought as he awkwardly stood at the front of the room. Calis stood off to the side, arms crossed. He and Valen were exchanging a hushed conversation about what they should do next.

"Let's hear him out first, hm?" Valen told Calis. "We'll have a better idea of what to do after the General gets here." The door opened and everyone's conversations, verbal and non-verbal, stopped. They turned to look at the door and acknowledged Chrono stepping inside. She closed the door and took a seat at the end.
