As Atticus's words dropped, the sanctum masters could swear they heard something shatter.
Ulithi's expression twisted, and his lips trembled as he asked,
"W-why?"
Atticus smiled wryly, shaking his head.
"I'm trying to hold off on something for now. I'm sorry," he explained, offering only as much information as he felt comfortable with.
The other sanctum masters tried hard to stifle their laughter, but a few chuckles still slipped out as they saw the profound sadness on Ulithi's face. Atticus had managed to form all the other domains except his, and now he was saying he had to stop? Ulithi felt cheated.
"W-when?"
He managed to ask.
"Honestly, I'm not sure yet. But it will be very soon. You don't have to worry. I still plan on forming my domain… just not now."
