Darius's mind whirled in response to Akun's unexpected proposition. Stunned into silence for a brief moment, he struggled to process the implications. Finally, his voice trembled as he managed to stammer out, "Y-yes."
As the weight of Darius's agreement hung in the air, Akun interjected with a demand that took Darius by surprise. "Hold on," Akun asserted, his tone unwavering, "I don't want to hear it only from you. I want to hear your party's thoughts on this matter as well." The request emphasized that this was not a decision to be made unilaterally, forcing Darius to consider the implications of his actions on his comrades.
Akun's gaze remained fixed on Darius as the conversation continued. "Your comrades are inside that carriage, correct?" Akun inquired, his finger pointing towards the carriage. Darius, his voice wavering, confirmed, "Yes, they are all in there."
