It's hard to say how long the Grand Duke Gror Pernon has been standing in the doorway behind Rial. Maybe for a few seconds. Maybe through four viewings of the recording. Dressed in the nondescript black civilian clothing that he favors these days, his eyes on his son, the grand duke looks tired in the low light.
With the recording halted, the elder Pernon steps out of the doorway, and he leans over Rial's shoulder to press 'stop' on the player. "Enough, Rial." He's quiet a moment, and his voice has lost much of its edge when he repeats, "Enough."
