"Don't take it out on the kid, Ryujin. It's unbecoming of you."
"Alliance Leader." Ryujin looked at him warily.
With all the misfortunes falling on him one by one, the Alliance Leader was the last person he wanted to see. "Why are you here?" He asked strictly.
"Now now, why the hostilities? I come with good intentions." The Alliance Leader tried to ease the tension.
"Don't play petty games with me, Hestian." Ryujin shot back, not in the mood to entertain him. He continued, "I already have a lot to think about. If you're here to waste my time, leave now!"
But Hestian, the Alliance Leader, remained calm under his scrutiny. It was as if an old man was waiting for the child to calm down after throwing a fit, so he could show him the bigger picture.
"Don't you want to know who's the cause of your headaches?" He asked softly.
