In a humorous exchange, Acheron reflects on his decision to hold a meeting, realizing it may have been unnecessary. He jokingly considers that rather than gather everyone, he could have simply communicated via email. This highlights his frustration with the behavior of older, supposedly mature men in the room.
Nick responds with sarcasm, suggesting that it was naïve to expect such ancient beings to act like adults. Zarek then playfully interrupts by elbowing Nick, further illustrating the chaotic dynamics at play among the characters in this scene from "Night Embrace" by Sherrilyn Kenyon.
