"Right." Raine looks around - Lon will probably be a few minutes - and sighs. "It would likely give the wrong impression if we /all/ went. I need three volunteers - the rest of you should remain here to ensure that all goes well." Silver tongues, strength of arms and simple common sense - Raine seems to count all of the above as useful, going from the way he sizes each of those with him up. Going from the look on Raine's face, ak'Ergeth is not likely to find himself walking away from the conversation with anything but a sizable bug in his ear!
