"Lane, can I talk to you for a minute?" Damien sighed, taking Lane to the side to discuss it in private.
Although Lane still had his face twisted with displeasure, he followed Damien obediently. He wanted to hear what made Damien come up with such a ridiculous idea.
He and Clara going on a mission together, just the two of them? That was a recipe for disaster! Even going with Ethan would be better! Well, perhaps not… But if Ethan went with him, then at least Lane would know that the Guide wasn't using this opportunity to bother Damien!
Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was indeed a good idea to allow Ethan to join him, much better than going alone. He would be greatly inconvenienced by the man's presence, but…
"Lane," Damien spoke up, lowering his voice to a hushed whisper. "I know that you two don't get along, but I can't send you on your own. It's against the protocol… And isn't going with Clara at least better than going with Wagner?"
