"He can stand trial!" I excitedly said, only to be shushed by Damon and Blaise.
My eyes widened and instinctively, I slapped my hand over my lips. Thankfully, it seemed like all the other leaders were still engrossed with Alpha Burke and Alpha Thorton's argument, completely enraptured without any attention to spare us. Even the oracles had their eyes on them, though their expressions remained impassive.
"He can't," Damon said. "That stickman just recovered. How is he supposed to come all the way? Do you actually want him to die on the journey?"
I rolled my eyes. "You have a working phone, Damon," I said. "Video call is an option, if not a simple voice call."
"The connection here is shaky…" Blaise trailed off, staring at the bars on his phone screen. As if to prove his point, the connection on his phone went from three bars to none at all, then up to two bars again, all in the span of three seconds. "It might not be able to sustain a call. Not long enough to testify, at least."
