The Khajiit shrugged.

"So it would seem."

Back in the Elder Council chambers...

"So, if that's it for questions, I'd like to take those of you who just recently arrived into the next room, follow me if you would..."

Everyone who was not a politician was practically shoved into the next room. It was small and there were no seats. The General's tone and posture changed now that he wasn't in front of all the important people. He looked worn down and very tired.

"I'm going to be brief and frank." He began. "We don't have much time to counterattack before the elves get a foot hold here.  They've already got momentum.  I'd give us a couple weeks, a month tops, before they're brave enough to try an all out attack.  As I explained, they've yet to reveal the bulk of their force.  I'd-no, the Empire-would apperciate your help.  We'll throw any resources your way that you need." He was looking at Emrey, who quickly realized it was he who needed to answer.

Emrey sighed. He had expected something like this would come up when the Legion had showed up at his door, but not to this magnitude. His life had taken a very unexpected turn in recent months. "Shor help me." He muttered under his breath as he made up his mind. "I'm going to regret this, but you've got yourself a deal, General."

The officer's face lit up. "Excellent.  I'll leave you too it, then.  Good luck, we're counting on you." With that, Weltrod scrambled out of the room.

"Oh, great, no pressure." He said to no in particular.

Emrey looked around at the assembled group. He pointed at a couple people in the room: a nord in steel armor, a bosmer mage, and some shrouded in black robes so you couldn't distinguish them.

They must've not seemed up to snuff to him, because he called them out, "You, you, and you.  Get out, no whining, don't come back."

The three of them did so, quickly and without complaining.

"All of you still here, name your price.  It's on the Empire."
