"Ashamed? Do you not see the state of this room?" Mark asked, deciding to humour Solomon. "What if we needed something important from five years ago. Could you find it?"
"I am not the one tasked to look for records. You've been away from the court for too long," Solomon said.
In Solomon's eyes, Mark had forgotten how the court worked.
"Finally, there's something we can agree on," Mark replied.
"The court has lost a lot of men who gave all their time to it, and you three are standing here trying to sort records. This is the time when we should be standing together, but I wouldn't expect you to know about standing for what was right," Solomon said, walking further into the room.
Mark laughed. It was funny that Solomon, of all people, would say this to him.
"Standing together? You've always looked out for yourself. Now that the men you have used over the years are gone, you want me to stand together with you? That's not going to happen," Mark said, ending Solomon's hope.
