"Arteon, Arteon, I do apologise for taking so long, Kingly business, I'm sure you understand." Ares said, his voice overly exaggerating everything. A moment of ridiculousness, for this was dark speaking. "So. A few of your men decided to start an issue with my people, and that wasn't the best of ideas. You couldn't have stopped them?"
"A man cannot be possessed by another."
"Yeah, well, I saw you command your men to slay their own brothers for your own sake, I think you can possess quite a few men." Ares said as he then sat down opposite them. "I don't know whether or not I should kill you now or continue with trying to ransom you." Ares said as he stared deeper into their eyes. "No. I think I will ransom you still."
Arteon visibly relaxed, and now Ares could see just how haggard the Commander was. 'The Commander, haggard after such little, and willing to have his men slaughter one another so quickly to save his own hide.' Ares couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.
