The announcement forced Khan to remain in the encampment for a while.
Lieutenant Dyester interrupted his task as the celebrations resumed. Food, drinks, stories, and cheers flowed throughout the night and planned to continue until dawn. They could very well last for the entire week, but Khan left before Baoway's star rose.
As promised, Khan forced himself to eat something. He didn't feel hungry but still stuffed his stomach with all kinds of food and drinks. Part of him hoped that would improve his mood, but the celebrations had only worsened them.
Khan couldn't feel good leading the Scalqa into another battle, especially against a human force, and the cheers during the celebrations only worsened his internal conflict. War almost sounded like a happy event in those environments, but Khan knew its true nature and couldn't see its point.
