Lith didn't like the sudden turn of events. Freeze had just been renewed so the Black Star wouldn't be a problem for a while. An outsider, however, meant only troubles, no matter their identity.
If it was someone from the army, Lith would have to kill them. Explaining what he was doing and how he was capable of doing it would require to share details he wasn't willing to provide.
He had already broken a rule of his code that day, leaving a loose end would be unacceptable, even if it meant being questioned about his comrade's disappearance.
If it wasn't someone from the army, there was an infinite number of things that could go wrong. Lith gritted his teeth, preparing for the worse.
