Caius didn't get the chance to ask Lyanna her view on the Vampire Dungeon on the building's higher floor. For one, to speak of such a sensitive matter in the Hall, where the ears of the Nobles were all too sharp to pick up on the conversation, was not at all prudent.
He would have opted for them to leave the Hall for a bit to have some privacy, but Duncan was sticking close, making that next to impossible.
A hush suddenly descended upon the Hall as squads of Militants trooped in, all in perfect formation. Their uniforms were similar to those of the City Guards, only differentiated by new additional dark colors to signify their separation from the Capital City's main force.
This was the Task Force and they were not shy about releasing their magical energy. Whether to threaten or inspire confidence was really a matter of perspective: whether you were who they were after or not.
At least, that was the vibe Caius got from them.
