"Why is your disciple throwing our plan into the gutter?" The Drake asked the moment that he and Faluel were alone.
"He's not." The Hydra chuckled while picturing Ajatar's shocked expression if he were to discover the truth about Solus. "It was a coded message. He's saying that he has found a way to locate the enemy base and doesn't want us to blow our cover."
"I see. Plausible deniability." The Drake nodded. "How do you think Lith is planning to do that?"
"Probably with his Demons." The Hydra lied through her teeth. "One of them will hide in the shadow of a monster or something."

After that, it was only a matter of waiting.
