Atlas looked up when he heard a knock at his door.
"Come in."
Zidong and Chen came in with a smile. Atlas smiled at them and they both sat next to him.
Zidong asked:
"Are you okay? You haven't been out of your suite since the feast."
Atlas said:
"I'm okay I was just trying to avoid Tan, he keeps following me everywhere."
Zidong and Chen chuckled. Chen asked:
"So if he wasn't around you would leave your suite?"
Atlas nodded.
"I would. I can't very much tell him to leave me alone seeing how the emperor treats him."
Zidong and Chen's eyes flashed with disdain. Zidong said:
"He'll be gone soon anyway."
Atlas met his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
When Zidong saw that he only seemed curious he said:
"Chen and I are going to make sure he'll go into dark slumber."
