Makedonios watches the mad man leave. Nick and Ioannis, Mak's shieldbearer and veteran warrior respectively, had both stood up when Hypatios struck their lord. But they had stayed at a respectful distance since they received no signal to intervene. After Hypatios left, both men approached Makedonios and spoke in low tones while glancing at the door Hypatios left through. Makedonios simply shook his head 'no', patted his men on the shoulder, and took his seat. Nick and Ioannis saluted and took seats closer to their lord in case someone was ever stupid enough to do that again.
