For a moment there was silence in the throne room, Tobias would be able to see Titus shifting nervously as he looked up at his father. He opened his mouth a couple of times but shut it each time, eventually though the king spoke which both Tobias and Icarus would hear.
”I want you to explain to me what you were thinking when you left this world” his voice was surprisingly calm and there was a hesitation before he responded
”I thought they would be good for this place, you always said ...”
”If I was going to meet them I would have sent an agent to them myself, not risk the life of my only living son.” the room fell into silence, the king looking down towards Titus a mix of concern and anger in his eyes ”You are too reckless.”
”I can take care of myself” Titus spoke up once again, a tinge of anger in his voice this tiem ”You haven't trusted me ever since the expidition, I was fine.”
”You almost died, you would have done if it wasn't for your servant dragging you back to our camp. Still though you insist on doing these things, putting yourself in danger at every step. You are a prince, you have responsibilities you do not have the freedom to throw your life away.” Titus stood there defiantly despite his father's words, ”When will you learn?” Titus did not look away but he did not speak, eventually the king sighed ”I am just trying to protect you, it is more important than you know.”
”I won't be locked away in this place forever”
”Until you sit in my place you will do what I say and you must understand that that is the best thing for you. Your mother agrees with this” for a while there was silence in the room and the father and son just stared at each other. It was eventually broken though ”You may leave, if you attempt to do something this dangerous again though I will make sure Illian keeps a watch on you.”
Titus simply nodded coldly and strode out towards the doors. The king slumped back in his chair and sighed deeply and full of sorrow.

On the outside of the room Elliot spoke to the group,
”Do you have any specifications for your rooms? I can arrange most things for you, I'm also not sure if any of you would like to share one.”
