The Phoenix meeting room bore the quiet echoes of departed conversations, leaving only Shinon, Rico, and Lova within its walls. The gravity of Shinon's presence hung in the air as he disclosed the true reason for his return.
"I know you can already guess, but I'm here for more than just establishing another settlement," Shinon admitted. "There's something the Eclipse has been up to nearby, I believe something troublesome."
"And I'm guessing you need our help to check on it?" Lova replied, crossing her arms before her chest.
"Yup."
Rico exchanged a glance with Lova and then back at Shinon with concern and a look saying he would need more information than what Shinon had provided.
Shinon nodded and continued, "I'm telling you two because you're the only ones who can handle the darker side of things. You won't hesitate to do what needs to be done, even if it means taking out humans."
