Mikhailis watched the soldier ant move through the castle grounds, the view displayed clearly through his glasses. The morning dew was still glistening on the grass, and the ant's movement felt almost hypnotic as it sneaked forward, heading towards the castle's kitchen entrance. Mikhailis couldn't help but feel a little thrill, the idea of being unseen while moving around the castle adding a certain excitement to the whole situation.
But something felt missing.
He frowned, adjusting the glasses slightly on his nose.
"Rodion, you know what?" he whispered, careful not to disturb the sleeping Elowen beside him.
"Maybe… maybe I should get another soldier ant out there, just in case. You know, in case we come across some trouble."
Mikhailis's eyes widened slightly, his lips curling into a grin.
