Arin received communication via telepathy: "My Sire, if we have your permission, may we join you?"
Arin realized it was the voice of Lapasmita. Arin thought for a while and found there was no issue in them joining him.
The guards were standing still. They displayed no sign of aggression or attack. It seemed they were like lifeless statues. But their eye movements were giving proof of their life.
Arin decided not to make any movements till his ghouls joined him. Something in him was telling him it would not be a good idea.
He tried to make small talk.
He teased them, taunted them. Tried to infuriate them by telling how he brutally massacred their kin.
But they did not show a single trace of emotion.
Rather, they were radiating a visible aura of superiority and haughtiness.
Arin found it infuriating. Just standing in front of them was making him feel embarrassed.
But leaving was not possible either. So he preferred to keep his own dignity.
