"She asked you to stay here… like a hostage?"
Olga was the first to react as she just looked Rhys in the eyes, almost as if wanting to say more than she already had. Ayesha also reacted, but she only squinted and lowered her eyebrows as she glanced back and forth between Calypse and Rhys.
"Yes," Rhys just nodded, "She says she will tell the Verdant Python to move so she can open up a path for you — Orpheus and Eurydice are trapped inside, you'll meet them immediately as soon as you enter the Golden Tree… But since Calypse doesn't fully trust us, she's asking me to stay here."
"That is understandable," Sorokin let out a small grunt as he looked around, "We also need a lookout to notify both teams in case the monsters here start acting up. You have the radio?"
"Yes," Rhys just once again nodded as he pointed at his trusty utility belt, "I will notify Esme and the others of any changes."
