"So, what do we do now? From the attack today, it's obvious that we have to cook up more safeguards. This invariably means we will need the healer here. We will also need some of our people here, as there are over there—to add to the manpower here, while the rest keep our mountains safe. Legardo is unpredictable, so we can't take chances. Please, the floor is open for suggestions. Any one can speak."
He relaxed into his chair, after gesturing with his two hands wide open and a bit stretched out, the honesty of his last statement. However, the room remained silent for a while, everyone lost in their thoughts, trying to bring up suggestions for what to do about the recent happenings.
