NoSohoth led the way, and immediately went to NeStirrath’s side and led him in a bow to the Tyr The Imperial retinue flowed into the common room, and attendant thralls shrank into the corners

"Krthonius, with the big haunches, there," NeStirrath said

"Good of the Eood of the Empire," the Tyr muttered

"Why won’t you let me make a decision? It’s ers do a lot more than just memorize reports and run," Tyr said
