After a few hours of hustle and bustle, all the Dao Lords once again returned to their meetings. In fact, this time they felt even more at ease owing to the fact that the tavern was no longer a mortal one, but instead a tavern befitting their actual status. They felt more at ease.
Beyond that, they now felt even more secure knowing that should anyone do anything untoward, they would face the wrath of both the Innkeeper and Eclipse. No one would mess around - at least not unless they had a death wish.
Lex, too, this time opted to stay by Eclipse. Regardless of whether her conversations were dangerous or not, Lex was missing a Butter Knife so he had absolutely no defenses to speak of. If, in the end, the danger came from Eclipse herself then there was nothing Lex could have done about that regardless.
