Ves did not reject the arrangements made by the Streon and the Devos Ancient Clans because he was not eager to meet with one of his former Mastery hosts.
He also did not want to speak with General Axelar Streon without sufficient preparation.
The huge amount of information and insights he gained from his extensive examination and exchange with the Ouroboros had given him a lot of food for thought.
Ves had only been able to conduct a superficial analysis of the state of the Ouroboros for the time being!
This was far from enough to talk about the Ouroboros in a more productive and helpful fashion.
He needed to spend a lot more time on analyzing the exact deficiencies of his old work and figure out effective means to unlock its potential.
It might already be too late to undo all of the damage, but Ves believed he should be able to develop other solutions that could help the Ouroboros unlock the shackles that were holding it back.
