"Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised." Nick smiled wryly as he checked the most recent reports and e-mails sent to the council.
It's as they expected; the commotion of his breakthrough indeed ruffled a lot of feathers. Now, they are clucking over each other to know what they, the Human Sovereigns, were up to.
Truthfully, Nick didn't want to explain himself.
He didn't want to care about these piles of reports and e-mails. He didn't want to concern himself with their demands. They're in position to demand any answers from him.
Nick just didn't want to deal with any of this.
Unfortunately, he has to. That's what the Human Council stands for. If they maintained silence, it's very possible that it would cause mass panic and hysteria, and that's not something he wanted to see.
And Nick knew that he couldn't feign ignorance and give them empty promises this time.
