He looked at his daughter, and just stared. "And what would going in tell me that I can't tell from up here? The church is the same size, a bit falling down, meaning the only people still serving can't fully serve it. The city is about 5% bigger, so it hasn't taken over for Brindol, meaning the two are working in parallel instead of one over the other. There is a big, fuck off building in the middle that screams Barid, which means he has troops here, and is likely committing the same 'not breaches of agreement' he is elsewhere."<br/><br/>He turned back to the city and shook his head, disappointed. "But I guess we can go in, though I get the right to say I told you so if it isn't any different than what I called right here. And I will apologize and admit you were right if you were."<br/><br/>He started down the path to the city, radioing the transport to swing around behind this hill so they could get picked up easier than walking all the way back. It was high enough to prevent anyone from seeing it from town, and no beaten path up here to indicate they were on a normal route out of town.
