Crown of Darkness

[Silus Xilarian]

"Then tend your wounds. In the meantime, De'Ville and I need to return to my ship to make a few necessary arrangements. "

Silus glanced down at Khendon's hand once more, then toward Lilaena for a moment.

"We will return within the hour. Perhaps we could visit this Esalis character?"

[Khendon Sevon]

Khendon pushed away the impulse to look at his injuries and attempted a smile. “I’m going to head two decks down to one of the medical facilities. If you’re looking to talk to Esalis, she’ll be there.

“I’ve already interrogated her,” the man’s silver eyes were as hard as stone, “I would have never believed it, not even if Piett told me.” A mild distance threatened to pluck Khendon’s words from the air.

“Esalis is a loyal Imperial. Her fealty lies with Viscera, as does mine. However, only now does she understand this… and maybe, just maybe,” the Imperator grunted with satisfaction, “she recognizes my rank.” The last words were said somewhat menacingly, a predatory look came to the Imperial.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

De'Ville walked over to where Silus was, retreating again into silence. Being on an Imperial ship for so long, with that woman also on board was beginning to wear on her. She looked to Xilarian, ready to follow him out and back to their ship.
