Johannes leaned forward a bit for the explanation on Yithare's condition, leaning back when it was complete. A fire cultist, working with them? That was almost unthinkable. He wanted to protest, but held his tongue. If his orders were to work with the cultist, he would have to obey them. However, given the first opportunity, he would eliminate the menace just as he would any other enemy. For now, he seemed to be harmless, so Johannes breathed out his tension and continued to eat his meal, which was truly delicious. For now at least, he would definitely be able to relax. The next day, their journey would start, and he would be ready to get going, back on high alert.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Justicar Valerian silently watching one of the Children of the Dark Sun. His eyes following her own, he took note of Belren, a small smile crossing his lips. They certainly could have chosen much worse warriors for this task. Yes, he would do very well for their purposes. He'd have to get to know some of them better, but this specific man would be first. Johannes believed in the benefits of comradery, and actively forged these bonds with his allies, though they were usually fellow Watchmen. 

As he was looking around, one of the others stood and introduced himself as Leon Thorne. It seemed the man was a freelance mercenary. Normally, Johannes wouldn't give the man a second look, but the fact that he had been chosen for this mission meant that he was more than just an ordinary hired sword. Whatever made him stand out, the Queen had seen it, and had decided that he was fit to work directly under the assembled leaders and commanders. Finally, he finished his meal, stood up, replaced his helm, and walked out of the dining hall. Making his way behind a servant to the room that had been laid out for him, he wondered how he would go about trying to forge the bonds of comradery among this motley crew of warriors. It might be tough, but against the enemy they were facing, nothing less would do. They couldn't afford to distrust one another.
