"He's right, bond." Ozeroth smirked. "It's embarrassing to worry so much about people that will end up beneath our feet. You're my bond, never lower your head."
There was a silence as eyes focused on Kancilot, who flinched in shock.
"W-what?" The aged king stammered.
"We all said something. You're part of the team, it's only natural you speak." Whisker said as though stating the obvious.
Kancilot scowled. He glanced at Atticus and took another gulp. Though different emotions went through the monster's eyes, it didn't change the iciness of his stare. He felt his skin prickling just by having Atticus's attention on him.
Kancilot cleared his throat, stroking his beard as though to think.
"On Kariot we have a saying; one shield shatters, a wall of shields endures. You have powerful and amazing people with you, your eminence. And also the greatest king in history as your bodyguard. There's nothing we cannot endure together."
