"That's enough for now, gentlemen," Napoleon stated as he got up from his chair. "I appreciate your input." 

Berthier and Talleyrand stood up as well.

The three men exchanged nods, acknowledging the conclusion of their discussion. The room seemed to exhale a collective breath as the weight of the decision settled in. With a final glance, Napoleon moved towards the door, the others falling in step behind him.

Napoleon held the door open for his advisors. "Until we see each other again." 

Talleyrand inclined his head in respect. "Of course, Your Excellency." With that, he stepped forward, passing through the door frame.

Berthier followed a nod of agreement accompanying his departure.

Napoleon released the door handle and let the door close behind them.
