Lucian sat quietly as Dom gave his closing remarks. Watching the gathered mass disburse, Lucian offered those that walked close enough to him a nod. A silent acknowledgement. 

The room, still warm and humid with body heat, was now essentially empty. The three of them remained. Lucian's mind was blank, repeating the conversation he had with Hollow and Cinnamon in his mind, trying to pick up any morsel of information that he can glean from it. The conversation itself was very, very light. It made sense. The situation was so fresh, not many people knew of what happened. And if the wardens were in on it, Hollow certainly would not have divulged that information, lest incurring Lucian's wrath where he sat. 

[color=766359] "Yeah. Just us now..." [/color] Lucian said, as he softly tossed a rag at Dom's hand, for him to do what he could to clean up the wound. A relatively empty gesture, as surely that wound would heal just fine, like the many others all of them have suffered along the way. [color=766359] "What I wanted to say before was that after the warehouse, I met up with Hollow. I wanted to see what he knew. And sure enough, the fuck told me next to nothing other than there hasn't been any whisperings of the event amongst the Wardens... I wanted to tug on whatever thread, whatever lead I may possibly have. Thus far, nothing we don't already know..." [/color]

Looking over towards Kessler, Lucian pondered what Dom said about being Second. Could he fill the show of someone like Logan Delaney? Could he be what Dom needs not only now, but also into the future? He did not doubt Kessler's capabilities. But, even amongst the wolves, Kessler's temper may not be the most ideal for what they need right now. Sure, there will be a need for it, but being the representation of blind fury is easy. Anyone can be angry and lash out. But as Dom said, he needed someone loyal enough, for that he does not doubt neither himself nor Kessler. Dom needs someone mean enough to scare the young ones into behaving. The approaches Kessler and Lucian would take would be...quite opposite, but both would be effective.

[color=766359] " Kessler. I think you and I would both agree that we're both very capable. This is just my opinion however. Dom. You're right. Filling the void Logan left would be a monumental ask. Thus, as much as I hate to keep one more task on your very full plate, I think you should decide. Unless, Kessler, you have a convincing case of why you should have that spot. Speak it and I will listen..."[/color]
