"I trust you'll be able to manage anyone here who seeks to challenge you, but perhaps we might think more about who could prove useful to us." Glancing over Dahlia's shoulder as if Stormbreak's council might suddenly appear, he raises an eyebrow.

He'll rekindle all the dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
