Caius frowned.
"What?" He asked.
Captain Zaila chuckled and walked toward him. Caius stayed in place thinking stepping back right now would be a sign of weakness he could not afford to show. He was already reaching for his connection with the Leopolds, which was a little difficult given the distance now between him and them.
"All that swagger, and you're only at the Fifth Circle," Zaila said eyeing him up and down, "Though it does make me wonder…"
Zaila trailed off.
"Wonder what?" Caius asked to prompt her to speak while still trying to connect his mind with Roxanne's.
"How you lead your little pack," Zaila said, "I chose to meet you and you alone because I got the sense you were the leader and I had no patience for underlings. Was I wrong?"
"You weren't," Caius said.
"But how…?" Zaila asked in a low and intense voice.
