Kelson knew what he meant. There were others he had met in his life that would not have admitted fault. Sadly, usually they ended up dead. It was not a good fault to have. Pride.

"I'm afraid we may not be given much choice in the matter." Kelson finally admitted. "Have you noticed the guards around Thorne? The tension? It's not normal. It's exactly what I would do if things were going very, very poorly." Guards would be tripled, archers would be standing by unseen. He'd have magical enchantments and warnings ready. No, something was not right here.

"I think Thorne is losing the right. Or at the very least, they are not doing well."
