Luke and Lyra returned from the village, arriving at the Baron's residence where they saw Gideon and Lena relaxing together in the lounge. Their attention immediately shifted to the entrance, spotting their two friends.
"Captain? You're back early," Luke said.
"Yeah, the discussion is over," Gideon explained.
"How did it go?"

He trusted his team completely, but he was wary of the other residents in the house.
The main points of the discussion were clear enough to Luke and Lyra. Both of them felt concerned about what had happened to Gideon, but what Lena had said yesterday was true.
