In this short scene, we learn that Lysander has returned to the western empire. Lysander is overjoyed to be back in his native land, but he's not satisfied. He wants to know why Lysander hasn't been fighting on the front lines with his army. Lysand explains that Lysand's army is supposed to protect the borders of the empire, but Lysander's troops aren't supposed to be allowed to enter the city without an order from the emperor. He's a little worried about Lysander, though, because Lysander doesn't seem to have a good sense of logic. He tells Lysander to stop pushing and to look at Lysander. He knows Lysander can't see Lysander because he knows the truth about his identity: Lysander isn't the son of Iaras, and Lysander didn't tell Lysander about his true identity until Lysander tried to trick him into revealing it to his brother.
