"How did things go?" Malachi inquired, directing his question at his brother Aaron.
A reassuring smile played on Aaron's lips. "Smooth sailing. There's a lot of curiosity surrounding the new order, so I took some time to interact with them, promoting a positive outlook," he replied with a sense of accomplishment. "I had a few allies assisting me as well." He grinned.
Malachi nodded in response, a sigh escaping his lips as he reclined into the couch.
"And what has kept you busy?" Aaron reciprocated the question.
"Ravina has found her father and sister," Malachi revealed.
A spark of surprise flickered in Aaron's eyes. "That's good news."
"Yes, it's been quite an emotional journey for her," Malachi acknowledged.
"I can imagine," Aaron mused, lost momentarily in contemplation. Then his train of thought seemed to wander elsewhere.
"Where is Saul?" Malachi asked.
Aaron drew in a deep breath, his expression grave. "He's… left."
