There’s a small hum of acknowledgement and agreement - the Exarch definitely knows something he’s not telling, and it’s infuriating. “He ought to leave his safe little tower once in a while to say hello. Only one person we met had ever seen him outside! And she was old!”
Okay, okay, he knows the man is frail and mostly crystal, and if he fell down the stairs he’d probably shatter into little pieces, but even so he should talk more to his people.
“...come to think of it... he didn’t sound like I expected after all those ‘calls’ of his.The voice I heard was... it sounded much younger, and I could hear how desperate he was to be heard. But the Exarch seems to find talking difficult. Maybe it was someone else after all...”
