Ayen calmed down somewhat a few minutes later. Khal and Devion's presence helps him stabilize his emotions. The two espers were more skillful than him when it came to hiding their emotions.
Although they were also raging inside, they made sure to hide it well, thinking of Ayen first and foremost.
Keeran was still unconscious. Ayen was more than familiar with this, as the other seemed to recover this way when she experienced a traumatic incident.
While the tension was still palpable in the air, it was more subdued. The two other people were inside the room; their entourage was left outside.
When they approached the city, Ayen only saw a few people who seemed to be waiting for their arrival. Ayen already realized they might be Khal's subordinates.
They reported something immediately, which led them to the government camp.
Ayen sat in one of the chairs beside the bed; the two espers stood behind him. Across from him were two government espers, Jarred and Georgina.
