"I truly wish it was as easy as blaming you," Klaus said.
"However, if it weren't for you, perhaps we would have lost our leader today as well."
He sat down, his long cape becoming a blanket behind him.
"Instead of blaming you, it is my duty to take over Drya's role for now and thank you for everything you did. That is why I came here."
Atlas shook his head.
"We are already cooperating. There is no need to thank me for acting like anyone would."
"No."
Klaus immediately disagreed. Both he and Atlas knew that those words were false.
"Anyone else would run. You had every opportunity to abandon us here and escape the trial alone, but you chose to stay and help."
"For that reason, I cannot ignore these things when I see them."
Klaus reached into his cloak and grabbed an item. The air was suddenly polluted by a foul and toxic stench, but it was not an unwelcomed one.
"Those are…"
"Right," Klaus confirmed.
