The meeting ended and it felt like all the tension left the room in a breath. Everyone was groaning and stretching as they attempted to relax, some getting up to leave right away. Esper Times was one of the few that moved quickly out of the room. No doubt it was to make sure the other Lieutenant, his wife Guide Times, hadn't given birth to her child.
Brent rolled his eyes, but didn't stop him. Over half of the people in the room were Espers so their overreacting at a pregnant woman was to be expected. That it was one of their own? Way worse. Brent had learned that in his first few weeks here, and hadn't stepped on that anthill again.
At the meeting they had hammered out a few more details, and Sergei had actually fielded a few calls and texts from S Classes that Rhys had directed towards him. Brent was a bit surprised that he upheld his end of the bargain, but he was on his best behaviour and in an incredible mood.
