"My lord, your orders."
Lynch told him to go make arrangements for Catherine.
Aus immediately accepted the order and left.
Catherine followed Aus away dazedly, as if she'd lost her soul. It was clear she would need some time to process the day's tumultuous events.
After dealing with the hot potato that was Catherine, Lynch turned to Raymond, his face full of gratitude. "Senior Brother, thank you for arriving in the nick of time and turning the tide."
"I was hoping to have you stay for a proper meal in Lakefront Town to show my gratitude, but I imagine that as a Battle Group Commander, you must be incredibly busy. I won't keep you any longer…"
Every word he spoke hinted that he wanted his guest to leave.
