Michael ate in silence, allowing the two to focus on their meals.
Though they had only been under his command for a short time, he had already learned a few things about them.
Ace was more outspoken, while Lia remained cautious, his thoughts harder to read.
After they finished eating, Michael waved over the innkeeper. "A room for one. Like the previous one."
The man nodded with a slight bow and led them upstairs.
Michael followed the innkeeper upstairs, with Lia and Ace trailing behind him.
The innkeeper stopped in front of a familiar door and unlocked it before stepping aside.
Michael nodded in acknowledgment and stepped inside, with the two youths following after him.
Once they were all in, he closed the door and turned to face them.
"Now," Michael began, his voice calm but firm. "Tell me what you've found."
