Hye could already sense the gunpowder in the air the moment he passed through the giant gates to the inside.
Everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a deadly foe. Hye couldn't tell if this was thanks to his earlier, unintentional display of power, or if this was the common situation and vibes in the base.
What he could guess, actually, was the fact that no one from the Hescos would move a finger against him with Moth on his side. The Hescos Elder was a well-known figure, with a special delegation of the base leaders and many generals to come forward and welcome him and his entourage.
"Welcome to our humble base, Elder," one said, while bowing slightly to Moth, "you honoured us with your presence. I hope the travel wasn't that arduous or tiring for our Elder."
"All is fine, Shemos," Moth warmly said, "how is the situation here? We just arrived and were welcomed by the Toranks."
