Louis's heart raged when he heard what Tony had done to Viconia, and sank when she offered to leave. "I appologize for what happened." he sad, "We need soldiers, if we ever need to fight Ravindra's forces, but I'm afraid we've picked up a lot of riff-raff. That never should have happened to you. And I'll make sure it won't again. We need new bases to keep up with our growing numbers, and clearly we need a place for sensitive personnel and intelligence. Naturally, you could stay there, surrounded only by people who understand your importance, and know how to treat people with respect. I understand if you'd rather leave, we can help you get out of the country, but no matter what we're not letting you fall back into Ravindra's hands. And it's not a burden. We're going to free all of Artemisia from him, so saving and protecting you is a major victory." Turning to Korra he added, "Korra, thank you for protecting Viconia. Make sure Tony and his pals are disciplined however you see fit. And next time you catch anyone laying a hand on any woman, feel free to cut it off."

 Viconia Artemis DeRio Viconia listened to what Louis said to her. Another part of her mind was telling her she wasn't worth the effort and the protection that Louis was offering. That she wasn't important and a burden to the rebellion. I a sigh escaped her lips as she tried to pushed the negatives thoughts away but they still lingered like a bad case of the flu. She had to remind herself of what she heard back on the day that J'Radd rescued her from the palace. 'Elyon told me to serve Him well once more along with my allies. That I WILL do, not hide away in another country even though Louis did offer that.' Viconia thought to herself as Louis was talking to Kora now.Kora listened to what Louis had to say."It's Tony and his group of thuds that need to apologize, not you Louis."Kora said to him after he had finished. "It was my honor to, and if you want to leave the country Viconia, I will stay by your side and protect you where ever you go."Kora to her before responding to his comment about punishing them."I won't cut their hands off, even though it's tempting. Yet their hands will see punishment and on top of that, extra workloads so they don't have free time to stupid things." Viconia got up while Louis was talking to Kora as she was figuring out what she wanted to say back to them."Thank you both for what y'all have done and kind words. I have to admit that hearing you say that I'm important and that I'm not a burden to y'all.... Still sound strange to me considering what I had dealt with for the past 35 years... Is something I have to wrap my mind around and it's going to take time to have a more positive outlook for myself."
"Bearing that in mind, the day that J'Radd and Dro'Len helped me, I heard something being said to me. It came back to me now and gave me hope that day and now. I'm not going to take the offer to leave the country even though it is tempting." Viconia said to them, taking a pause before continuing. " In a nutshell, the message was to now to serve in Artemisia along with my allies.I believe that the message was from Elyon, encouraging me to live and not hide away somewhere."
"Helping out at base with sensitive personnel and intelligence sounds where I need to be. I know that I have more information that is stored away from the years at the castle in my mind but need to remember them first besides what information I already given to you. If I was given the herbs and other materials to make healing potions, I could do that there as well. I'm not even halfway checking the potions here and there's already over twenty-five potions that need to be thrown away. Then there's five of them that are death poisons that were passed as health potions. If I were to try to purified it, it will kill me or any healer that might try to purify it. It will kill whoever to take it as a health potion." Viconia said to Louis, using her right hand to point towards the bottles on the cot near her.

"We'll be grateful for your help, Viconia. Elyon knows we'll need it, especially after learning about our potion stock." That last thought was accompanied by a glance at the bottles Viconia had indicated. It was clear to him he needed to run a tighter ship. Fortunately Viconia seemed like she'd be very helpful in doing so, and Louis was glad to see that seemed to be boosting her self confidence as well. Turning to Korra he said, "I'm going to see what locations we can find for our intelligence center. If you're feeling up to would you mind keeping an eye on Viconia? Tony and his pals can wait."

 Fredrick Fredrick was heading to the medical hall to pick up the medicine from Healer Gideon for his father. It was for his father's knees that had bad arthritis and it seems that it was spreading to his other joints as well. 'Father has decided to leave court due to that. So I must go in his place, which I rather not but have to now.' Fredrick thought as he made way to meet with Healer Gideon.
Once he reached the hall, he went in without looking in first to see if anyone was there. "Healer Gideon, I'm here get that medicine for my father... " Fredrick began before realizing there were other people in the room. He blushed slightly due to his embarrassment of interrupting them. "I'm sorry I hope that I'm not interrupting anything. I'm here to pick some medicine for my father." He said to them before looking down to the floor while he rubbed the back of his neck with he left hand. He wasn't expecting to walk in on Louis, Viconia, and Kora. The True King's Own........

Viconia Artemis DeRio" It will be my pleasure to Louis, considering what you and the rebellion has done for me. I'm in your debt and this is something I can do to help the cause." Viconia said back to him as there were a few questions lingering in her mind about Louis himself but didn't dare asked him about it yet. She rather ask him when they might have a chance alone privately and it was looking like that she won't get that chance anytime. 'Maybe it's best not asking that now either way.' Viconia thought to herself, but still curious though.Kora nodded in agreement with Louis ." I am and willing to do so. It will also give the two of us to get to know one another better."Kora said before looking towards Viconia. She did want to get to know her better still felt guilty for her unwelcoming words and actions way back. "I'm sure that there are others that would see that punishment carried but that's for a later time."Kora back to Louis before she heard someone coming down the hall towards them .
It was Fredrick and she didn't that she would ever see the male blush like he was now."Well, I never thought I would see you blush like that Fredrick. It's adorable." Fredrick's blush went darker at the comment of hers. Viconia couldn't help but chuckle and smile at Kora's comment and how his blush went a deep red ." I don't think you interrupted our talk Fredrick. Healer Gideon had to step out for a while. He told me that you might be coming by today for your father's medicine. Let me get it for you. " Viconia said before going into Healer Gidoen's office. She got the medicine that Gideon told her to give to Fredrick. " Here's the medicine that Healer Gideon told me to give you Fredrick. I hope it helps your father."Vicona said as she gave him the medicine.

Fredrick Fredrick wasn't sure how to take that complement from Kora but he noticed that both women were smiling. ' Viconia looks amazing when she smiles, both of them actually. Never seen Kora smile like that either so maybe the blush was worth it for them... ' Fredrick thought as he waited for Viconia to bring the potion and the blush was gone now.
"Thank you Viconia for potion and I'm sure it will. My father will need it when he first gets here sometime next week at the country estate." Fredrick said before turning his attention to Louis. " Louis, I need to talk to you about that actually. With my father leaving the court due to his health, I will have to take his place at court. I rather stay here but that's besides the point. After my sister arrives next week, I'll be heading to to the capital to take his place. I didn't know if we need to plan anything around that or not." He said, placing the potion into the messager bag that he had with him for that purpose. The True King's Own........

Louis was glad to see Viconia smile, It was good to see her starting to feel like she belonged somewhere. Fredrick mentioning taking his father's place in court reminded Louis he had something else to be grateful for. "No doubt this is Elyon's provision." Louis answered Fredrick, "Giving up J'Radd's position inside the castle was already a small price to pay to save Viconia here and bring her to us. With you in the court we still have eyes on the inside, so that cost negated. Do you need anything to help you prepare?"

Fredrick "I hadn't thought of it in that way... I should have thought of that." Fredrick said as he wondered why he hadn't thought of that himself. He had been more concerned about who he took of the house staff that was in the rebellion with him to the capital. "I was more concern about which and few household staff to take with me that are a part of the rebellion. I wanted to make sure that they weren't need here more."Fredrick said back to him, pondering Louis's question.

"You've got the right idea." Louis replied "You're not trained as a spy are you? So who you bring as a 'servants' will be a great deal of help. That's one key advantage of your noble position. Naturally as member of the court you'll have access to whatever information Ravindra wants you too, which will certainly be useful, but finding information he doesn't want anyone knowing will call for a type of subterfuge you're not used to." Louis was going over some of the rebellion's spies, especially among Fredrick's family's staff. "I can think of a few people you may want to have with you."

Fredrick "I had some training in that area but not as much as J'Radd though. From the times I been at court before now, I know which ones I can trust. Yet I will treat them as if I don't until I do know for sure that I can again since people can change..." Fredrick would take J'Radd but due how he left the court in the first place, he was a wanted man now... So J'Radd was off the list. "I was thinking of Ming for sure for one of the staff to come with me.Who are you thinking of Louis?"
"Anything to to help me prepare? Besides choosing who to take with me, nothing that I can think of at the moment. If I do later, I'll certainly ask then." Fredrick said back to him."Please let me know what you want me to do before I leave next week. I want to do what I can do before going to the capital." He told Louis, wanting to not leave anything he could do, undone before going to the capital.
Then he heard someone's stomach growling."Sounds like someone is ready to eat supper. Shall we all go to the mess hall then? I wonder what's being served tonight." He said looking over at Kora and Viconia. Their auras were both pink and some yellow as well. 'Looks like they have put their differences aside for now. I wonder what caused that. No matter, I'm glad to see that they are getting along with each other compared to when Viconia was first here.' He thought to himself.

Louis wondered what Fredrick might see in Korra's and Viconia's auras. Korra seemed to be warming to Viconia since Louis had spoken to her. She was clearly still a good judge of character, when she wasn't letting idle chatter get to her. "I'll join you for supper. Louis said to Fredrick. "We can discuss your preparations while we eat, if you don't mind. At the moment, choosing you're support staff is most important. Ming is a perfect choice to bring along with you. Steven and Clara would be invaluable as well."

 GwendolenGwendolen is Fredrick's younger sister and twenty years old. For the past few years, she had been living with their Aunt Maeve's family. Now she was coming home to live at the country estate with their father. She was hoping to see her brother before he went back to the capital where he was to stay since their father was leaving the court. 'I know that he's not happy about having to be at court. I have a feeling that he is involved with the rebellion and staying at the capital won't let him do much for it. Don't blame him though, but I rather not be in the capital either. Mostly so I won't catch the eye of our lusty false king.' She thought with a frown on her face as her father and brother had her to live with their aunt to avoid him seeing her. Which she couldn't blame them and grateful for as well.
"How much longer until we reach the country estate? I'm ready to my father and my annoying brother." She asked and said to the driver of the of the carriage. "We have about a hour left before getting to the estate. Since we're about to pass through Carrisina, do you need or want to take a break from the ride?""Nice thought but no, I rather get home sooner than later so take us the quickest way."Yes ma'am Miss Gwendolen, I'll take the quickest way." He answered his lady, taking the quickest way through the city of Carrisina.
'The sooner the better with the sensitive information I carry. I know that Fredrick won't be happy to know I'm involved with the rebellion already. I knew he was trying to keep me out but too late now. I had been breaking codes and rewriting them for three years now, thanks to Aunt Maeve. Gwendolen thought as as they rose through the city.
Nothing she saw through the carriage window interested her as the information she was carrying was heavy on her mind. If it hadn't been for her going home, it would have been sent by messager bird to the leader of the rebellion.She hadn't met him or her yet but hopefully would this time but understood if not. A sigh escaped her lips as she was sort of dreading meeting with her brother and him finding out that she was involved but anyways....
Sooner than later, Gwendolen was back home at the country estate. Her brother, Fredrick, was waiting to greet her on the front porch."Fredrick! Great to see you after all these years! You should have come and visited me at Aunt Maeve's place more often." She teased her brother a little bit there as they hugged each other. Then she whispered the code word for the rebellion into his ear. Gwen felt his body going tense after her saying that. Then a sigh escaped his lips and his body relaxed again.
"So sister like brother, even I was trying to keep you from being involved. Either way, do you have something with you that needs immediate attention? Or do you want to have eat something first after your long ride?" He asked her, opening the front door to the house for her to come in.
"I could use a restroom break first of all. After that, the sooner I can give the information to the leader of the rebellion the better Fredrick. If I hadn't already been coming here, Aunt Maeve would have sent the message by usual way."
Fredrick saw the driver and footman get her trunk off the carriage before going into the house." Okay, do what you need to do and change into some riding cloths. I'll have our horses ready to go hopefully by the time you're ready."

 Viconia Artemis DeRioᕼᗩᎩᗩ ↁᗩᓰḰᓰ Ḱᙓﬡᔕᖺᓰﬡ This morning Haya was with the former concubine elf, Viconia, collecting herbs and flowers that could be used for healing. His friend and commander, Kora, asked him to be her bodyguard today so she could dish out punishment to the men that abused Viconia a week ago. Haya didn't mind and it also gave him a chance to get to know her. Plus he also knew where to find those plants that they needed nearby. Before the two knew it, it was afternoon. Viconia looked to see how much they had gathered. "Haya, I think we have enough for now. Ideally I would want to pick more but don't want to over pick the plants. Mainly so it's not as noticeable that we're been picking here recently." Viconia said before wiping her brow. Thanks to the tanuki's powers, she looked like a human female with fair skin, blue eyes and shoulder length blond hair. It was strange to see herself with different colored skin and hair. She didn't mind as it was extra protection while being outside. "Agreed, it's better to not over pick either way. I'm ready to head back since it's close to lunch time."The tanuki replied as he doubled checked the jars of herbs wouldn't break in basket for the return trip as Viconia was doing now as well. They hadn't gone beyond a mile from the camp to gather the herbs. Viconia was glad for this chance to be outside in the sun as for the most part, she had stayed inside the caves since she first arrived here. Thanks to Haya's magic, she felt that she didn't have to almost mummify her body to go outside. Which was a relief for a change.
She didn't know yet where the sensitive personnel and intelligence base would be that Louis mentioned last week.Well, I wouldn't mind staying right here, but will go which ever base he sends me to. She thought to herself as they reached the entrance to the cave and headed towards the the medical hall. "It shouldn't take long to put these fresh herbs away and to lunch we go Haya." She said as they reached the medical hall. She took both baskets and placed them on her work table. "Alright, lunch time Haya," she said to him, heading back out into the hallway. Haya followed her and hadn't taken of the magic glimmer that was on Viconia yet. It hadn't crossed his mind to do so as they made their way down to the mess hall. {Done!!!!!!}

Louis Ferrigno
It'd been another busy day, especially with the added challenge of finding a suitable intelligence center. The new facility had been on his mind a lot the past week, for some reason he felt it urgent he find a place to keep Viconia safe. He was quickly coming to the realization that here was only one location that provided what they needed. He wandered into the mess hall to grab a quick bite, when he spotted Haya with a familiar looking human woman he couldn't quite place. Knowing the tanuki was Viconia's bodyguard for the day, Louis reasoned that the moon elf had returned to her quarters after returning to base. "Good afternoon, Haya, I see you're back from gathering herbs." Turning his attention to the fair-haired lady he added, "Greetings, Miss. I'm Louis, I don't recall if we've been properly introduced."
