He stopped, looking over his shoulder for a moment, as if sensing somebody else were there, before continuing, "Silas, you say, is the name of this man? We have not yet encountered a Silas among the Narrikian leadership. In any case, I would love to say that we could offer you protection, but surely, you must understand, we are at war. However..."
He stopped, pulling out a GalaxyPhone, prepaid with Galactic, Inc. Placing it on the table, he nodded towards Myra. "This device will allow you to contact me should you need help. If the Narrikians attack, do not hesitate to call," he explained as he started to show her how the GalaxyPhone worked.
