"Father, I know this is the last thing we need right now."

Cassian watched as his father shook his head and stared out the window. He was silent for the most part, his father ever the strong and standing beacon of their house. Since he was first able to pick up a weapon he trained as hard as he could in almost every aspect of life to live up to his fathers expectations. There were times when he fell short, or so it seemed. With so much going on, Cassian felt he was being split in two even three places at one time. He could only imagine how his sister must be feeling. They were both fighting a war, and if they didn't stick together then they would lose the war. It wasn't just their lives that were in the balance, and it was them and everyone other person that served and fought with House Abrantes.

As more details about the events that happened in the past few days were discussed. There was so much that needed to be done now.

And for Naboo most importantly....

"You were supposed to keep her out of harms way, were you not?"

"Yes, I know father. Had you had been there, you would have seen things changed in the blink of an eye, we had to split up for a time in order to secure a stable path and potential retreat if possible. And then....." Cassian let out frustrated sigh as he crossed his arms. "Madness, madness and stupidity....."

"Things are in motion now, and they cannot be taken back. War, and everything else in between will be on our doorstep. We are going to increase our guard personnel. There will be more training and patrols around the clock. A definite increased security around the family at all times. What I am going to ask you, you must do it for the good of our house. And most importantly, for Sibylla."

"That is no question father. Sibylla's safety is indeed paramount. She is...…the best of us." Cassian watched his Father take a seat at his desk before he motioned his hand forward.

"Close the door, my son. We have much more to discuss."
