([color=0054a6]Claudius Ker'Rak(Side)[/color], Paline's War Room, Praelium)

[color=0054a6]"Refuge?"[/color] Claudius thought for a moment, then nodded his head. [color=0054a6]"Things could be arranged. Since you've already mentioned being ready to assist us, we can make you a citizen of Praelium after you join our military."[/color]

Claudius arose from his chair and motioned for Holden to arise from his own. The dragonborn rarely showed emotion towards others, and kept his stoic manner. His mind was turning focus towards the inevitable war with the On'Hinians. Should they mount an assault now? Or stay on the defensive? Perhaps the border at Benaduza could be loosened? Maybe a deal could be brokered with the Consortium. As the possible tactics flowed through his mind, he completely forgot Holden was there. As he pushed open the door to look back in room to make sure everything was still in order, the sight of the man reminded him of his presence.

Claudius coughed and turned to Holden, bowing his head to the man.

[color=0054a6]"Due to your previous war experience, I will talk to the Tyrannus about receiving your own battalion."[/color] Claudius said. [color=0054a6]"Carver will talk to you personally about it soon enough, perhaps tomorrow. He is meeting with the House of Dominus today."[/color]
