He frowns at that, wondering if there was any truth in such a speculation. Could the shards be controlled? Could the people? If Corypheus came here, would they all be forced to turn against them? It was not a good thought.

At least Araceli was being looked after by Korrin, but he's not sure what to think of Ruby. It sounded like she did what he had done after losing control in Antiva, only in a more severe way. Still damn smart of her, though. It would save her some mistrust in the future from other people.

Taas notices that look, though, and he nods slightly before he takes a swig from his drink. "I'll talk to her, if she will allow me to. How did she lose control? You look like you were bit by a phoenix."
