He paused, and then shook his head. "No, you are not coming, I don't need someone to watch my back as I won't be directly engaging the scouting parties, and you are going to get an argument since you started it. HOWEVER, if we are going to continue this, we should retire to another room, and continue it there so that the others might continue their discussions on how to best help the town."<br/><br/>He gently placed Cerul on her feet, and then stood up himself, before turning to the Lord. "My apologies, but we need a few minutes alone. Can we borrow a room for a moment?"<br/><br/>He wasn't actively aware of it, but the air of authority and power had come back and the others were probably aware that he wasn't quite normal at the moment. He thanked the Lord once he had pointed to a room, and strode into it, politely holding the door for Cerul before stepping in and shutting it, and then turning to her and waiting for her outburst.
