"The Reptai wish to join you?" Oshgan said. "I do not trust such a thing. The timing is not entirely in their favour either."
"I will agree with Oshgan-kin," Rori said. "I would suggest against allowing the Reptai to become so close to you, Ares-kin." His face was rock hard, stone neutral, as it always was.
Ares was also surrounded by a pair of his own Roaring Tridents, and he had also invited Gantal here, as well as Orndu. Lana of course was silent, just listening in to the conversation whilst chewing on a thick leaf that oozed out some juice of some kind.
There were a few others nearby, but they remained silent for this conversation, leaving it to those that held a stake within it.
Ares rubbed the side of his neck. "Why exactly is it a bad idea to have them guard me? I could pay them for their service, or they could go through the process of becoming Rivean and then they would just simply be like Gantal or Orndu here."
