There was nothing but tense silence in the room. After that epic show in the living room, Eric had ordered that they followed after him and here they are. The brothers were the only ones allowed into the room with the others outside, probably in an aide to prevent from being spied on.
However, it's been over five minutes with Eric having said nothing and it was beginning to get awkward and boring. Amid all of that, Arianna's hands were intertwined with Marcel's own and she wouldn't let go. The both of them were seated on the sofa with the brother taking positions elsewhere. Arianna and Marcel felt like a center of attraction in a circus display. It was an uncomfortable feeling.
"I'm sorry," Marcel decided to speak up when none of them would, "I know it's not going to make up for the men lost, but I'm truly sorry."
