"I thought your subordinates would be in attendance," Alejandro remarked as he led the way to his training quarters, his steps measured.
Alex replied as his gaze trailed the alabaster walls of the hallway they walked through. "They have their hands full watching over the proxy. He seems… iffy."
"Indeed, he is. From the moment I laid eyes on him, I could sense his cowardice. It is unbecoming of a man to have such a scent."
"What you call cowardice, I see as being careful. Alone, I doubt I'd be able to catch him since he has had time to plan things out."
"But you aren't alone."
"And that makes all the difference." Alex finished just as they arrived before the training quarters currently guarded by two Beast Warriors.
Away from the corruption of the Wandering Forest, the Beastmen had regained their imposing nature, giving Alex peace of mind that his plan would suffer no adjustments.
