Taking a deep breath, trying to hide the frustration he was feeling at the moment as he didn't want to worry Althea, Zaroth asked calmly.
'How the fuck did you lose them, Luna?! You had one job—keep an eye on them!'
Luna, of course, responded in kind. 'Easy for you to say while you were busy fucking the Queen, I was in the middle of the chaos trying to find them!'
'... Okay, I admit I might have overreacted,' Zaroth admitted. 'Nevermind them, how is the situation down there?'
'The situation's not that bad. The heads of the families are fighting against the enemy soldiers. The problem is, there are a lot of them—so there's a lot of collateral damage.'
This was good news. It would have been bad if the assault on the castle had been so severe that they managed to break in. Sure, Zaroth still had his skills and beasts to rely upon in dire circumstances, but without his equipment he felt naked… not that he wasn't, currently.
