He knew that Aurion was right in his own sense. Allistair could sense the evil tainted magic on his general where he'd crossed the paths that they had. He knew that he needed rest and that he wouldn't make the best of decisions right now in his current state of mind. He needed rest, and a nice hot bath to loosen his tense muscles. He wanted Bren to calm down before making any other decisions on the matter at hand. He knew just the thing to do.<br/><br/>He looked to Aurion as he beckoned for his approval and spoke.<span style="color: #FF4000">"I would have to agree with you Aurion. It is a sinister presence, but I think that it would be best to let Bren unwind a bit before going on patrol. Dusk sounds reasonable if he wishes to accompany you." </span>He said. He then looked back to Bren and spoke again.<span style="color: #FF4000">"Perhaps after breakfast we could go sparring? And then you can go get a hot bath and take a nap before evening comes. That way you'll be rested and unwound for the upcoming patrol." </span>He suggested to him.<br/><br/>The weary king let go of his general and took his seat at the head of his table. He knew his wife should be arriving soon along with the rest of the staff that usually accompanied him for breakfast. There was much to talk about. And he'd need Harold and Earl to pull some records on the surrounding kingdoms to reference them for a potential culprit.<br/><br/><a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=110586">@WildSpawn</a>@stardust<a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=110674">@thetruegarsot</a><a href="//www.creativefreedomrpg.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=111607">@Phyra</a>
