Aliza didn't wait for Gengh's rebuttal at all. As for Theron, he just followed along without a word too.
Gengh stood in silence, not sure what to do, but then one horse after another began to brush by him.
"Wait!" Gengh called out. "You can't just make a unilateral decision. You have to at least explain yourself!"
He quickly hopped onto his horse and rushed after them. There was a defiance in his eyes that was only belied by his embarrassment. But he felt that he couldn't just let things drop like that for no reason.
Theron didn't have much to do with this, so he was content to sit by and watch. Why get himself involved in something he didn't have to get involved in?
Aliza looked over her shoulder. "There's no such protocol."
