"What? He rejected the idea of helping you and still threatened you?" Dhetha, the yellow-eyed woman, asked in disbelief as she rejoined Kaizen on the shores of the City of Tears.
"Yes. That's right." Kaizen reassured her.
Dhetha found the psyker's impassive demeanor odd. He might be powerful, but it would have been crucial for them to use the element of surprise to attack Adohorn when they had the chance, instead of trying to recruit a creature that would not help them.
"Do you understand the gravity of the situation? By now Adohorn must know that you are here, that the masked men who approached you are working for him. And he won't forgive you easily, one of them is dead!"
"I understand that you are stressed. It was a mistake on my part to trust a being who almost killed me the first time I met him, but give me a minute of silence to think, please."
