Uti had erupted in rage in the Golden Tent, causing all his officials to be completely at a loss on what to do. Before he was even done with his words, Uti suddenly turned around to leave, heading off to discuss strategy with the High Priest Ryun, leaving everyone else where they were. He did not tell them to wait or allow them to return, so all the dozen or so insectoids from various departments could only awkwardly stay where they were.
All of them knew that this was Uti's disguised punishment. It seemed that Uti did not trust the veteran statesmen beside him, having turned to seek the High Priest's help, instead.
