Varenx stepped into PDP's tent, and glanced around quickly. The months he spent in the capital made him even more cautious than he was. He nodded to PDP, even knowing that he is his superior the gryphon had more dignity to bow to anyone. If it wasn't for the rebel war effort or the fact how the gryphon hated the king he wouldn't have taken orders from anyone, he was certain about that. After getting over the formal part of the meeting, he chirped, loader than before. "PDP! The news I've brought are rather troubling. The king is still unaware where our hideout is, but he definitely suspects something! I've heard that two thousand of his soldiers have gathered on the eastern border and on more thousand to the north to create a diversion! However..." - a sarcastic smile appears at the corner of his beak at this point - "... his army has a lot of younglings calling themselves soldiers. They're unexperienced, I suppose they're enlisted because that overgrown lizard did not expect a rebellion coming over his head. Most of his army is still scattered all over the country. However, this will change soon as well, he realized what's really going on. Yet, I think we have another advantage. He doesn't take us seriously. In fact... He doesn't take anything seriously, and obviously he underestimates our forces." He thinked for a moment before he continued his report. "There is one more thing. We have more allies than we thought.  I've talked to a lot of servants and civilians while I was on-duty, of course keeping my incognito. I think Takeru have more enemies in the capital than loyal followers. That's all." The gryphon, while he spoke to PDP, kept a curious eye on him, watching for his reactions and when he finished talking he looked at him, waiting for questions or anything the demon could add while he catches his breath. Flying over one and a half day in a haste exhausted him, his wings felt heavy even being folded upon his back.
