Tatehan took about five seconds, staring at Torvan with an expression that shifted from thoughtful to mildly embarrassed, and then he genuinely laughed.
Not a polite chuckle, not a nervous laugh, but a real, open laugh that filled the workshop and made Riven and Lyra exchange amused glances.
They were like:
'Uh…'
"Ah... I never thought of this, lol," Tatehan said, shaking his head at himself. He ran a hand through his hair, still grinning. "Guess I'll have to tell Bjorn about the plan after all."
He paused, his expression becoming more serious, leaving the amused state for a while as he thought it through.
"But I'll tell him it's what the others can know about only if I've executed it. Like a secret between the two of us for now. He keeps it quiet until we've actually done it, and then we share the results with the alliance."
