That kind of loyalty was rare, and Lackey understood that it could be far more valuable than simple obedience.
"Oh? What are these?" Torag asked as he pointed toward the Twin Eclipse weapons. For some reason, his curiosity immediately settled on them, and he slowly stepped closer as though something about the weapons had caught his attention before he even understood why.
