Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Leena," Kai said quietly, looking to her friend with only innocence in both her expression and tone. "I believe your advisors are discovering that they cannot speak, not Common anyway. It appears as though the only noises that come from their mouths are those of animals." she said, as though she had nothing to do with it. But she'd heard them plotting and had fairly effectively stopped it. And they'd been fired soon enough.

Kai smiled, looking to Gwen before she left. "Relax, dear. He won't peck." she murmured teasingly, laughing when the elf stuck her tongue out. Kai went after Leena, Ri appearing and winding around her shoulders like a boa. "I'll be quiet unless you need me to speak. And would you like for them to be able to speak? Or I can remove all ability to speak, if you like." she offered, smirking faintly.

"She still knows everything doesn't she." Gwen murmured, glancing to Vadasz and not really needing an answer.

(( Gah, edit! ))

Leena smirked to Kai, "Alright. Yes, it would be best if they could speak. I want to see what they have to say for themselves." She spoke, pausing as she heard Dais call out to her. Turning, she tilted her head but nodded. "Alright, by all means." She answered, giving him a faint smile before she stepped into the chambers, noting how they all fell quite. Only two were looking at her with respect, and those were the two she would keep out of the rest of them.

"Councilmen, thank you for coming on such short notice. I have important news to speak on you all about." She took her spot, looking at them all before she continued. "It has come to my attention that most of you wish to remove me forcibly from my throne by treason." She grimaced as they all started speaking at once, her hand coming to rest on the table gently, and yet it was like a shock wave had been sent out that shut them all up. "Don't even bother trying to deny it! I don't want to hear it. All most of you have done is treat my late mother and I with disdain and loathing. So it does not surprise me that you would try to cause another rebellion so I'd be removed the throne as my father was!" She snapped, the room getting deathly quiet. Narrowing her eyes, she looked at each of them in the eye, getting only a little satisfaction at how they refused to return her gaze. "So, since all of you seem so keen on power. I am hereby disbanding the council. Only two shall remain as advisors to me, and I believe they know who they are."

Varion was amongst the first to stand amongst the uproar at that. "M'lady you can't do that!"

"Oh I can't, can I? Last time I checked, it was the Queen who had the last say on matters! Now tell me, are any of you speaking to Gannel?" She asked, her voice icy to the point where it made the room feel a bit cold.


(( By the way, if someone wants to control any councilmen, they can. It can get hard rping with ones self. xP ))

Kai had scooped up the ferret, holding Aldon gently in her arms. She followed Leena inside, standing beside but just back from her queen.

"Of course not. Why would we be doing tha-" A man started, before he grabbed at his throat, no sound coming out.

"If you stopped trying to lie you could speak." Kai said quietly, giving the glaring man a sweet smile. "But that's answer enough, I think." she murmured, reguarding the others calmly. Most of them were wary of her, due to her loose grip on sanity and her skill with magic.

((Dais is actually above the room, but not anymore as of this post.))

Faces, no. But aura, yes. There was a familiar aura in the room, definitely one from Gannel. It was just a matter of narrowing down who it was.

Alas, just as he figured out who it was, Leena acted, as did the Gannellian. Apparently, the demon had decided to drop his guise since he was attacked. Smart, real smart, Dais thought sarcastically. Only makes it easier to recognize who you are.

The assassin quickly removed the tile from the ceiling and dropped down, landing on top of the demon, but having the unfortunate effect of sprawling the demon toward Leena. "Don't move," Dais stated as he whipped out his sword, seemingly from nowhere. A dagger would have worked better, but he didn't have any on him. Darts weren't exactly threatening up close either.

Aldon's vision gave him a better look at the demon, and Dais recognized the demon as a shifter and one that was older than Amaya, but not quite to the range of when Amaryllis died.

Kai reguarded it all calmly, though when the demon insisted on fighting she crouched down in front of it, tilting her head much like a bird. "Would you rather come as a spirit, or stop fighting and be a good boy? Leena's rules don't bind me, if something were to happen to you she couldn't trace it to me and even if she could I wouldn't have to answer to her." she said softly, eyes promising she wouldn't hesitate, and that she was thoroughly enjoying this and looking forward to getting to play with the spells she usually couldn't use.

Leena listened as Kai spoke, noticing how even the demon seemed to hesitate at that. She smirked, she was speaking the truth. "Anything I should know before locking him up?" She asked with a small tilt of her head, her eyes resting on Dais. Though she did pause and glance down to the demon. "I can tell you that you will die and there won't even be a spirit left to speak. Kai, if you want to, you can do what you like. Just make sure to get info out of him first. Dais, the same goes for you." She spoke, looking up as Mal came over. They exchanged a few softly spoken words and then he left, leaving the four of them alone.

(( erm, I'm going to leave it up to you two on that since honestly my mind is failing on that front. ))

Knowing they were both capable, Leena wanted to be sure Amaya and Gwen were alright as well, smirking to both of them before she took her leave. "Have fun you two." She called before walking out, pulling a handkerchief from the sleeve of her kimono, dabbing away the sweat. Oi... Hot springs sounds like such a good idea right now... But was there time for such relaxation? Most likely not.

She returned to Amaya and Gwen with a fresh kimono on, or perhaps it was just a yukata. It was white with some soft violet flowers sewn into it, a red obi around her middle. "Forgive me for the wait." She noticed how Vadasz and Talia were both missing, frowning at that fact. I know Talia's probably spreading the word through the street that the councils gone. The resistance needs to know. As for Vadasz, I bet... "He probably ran off for food, didn't he?" She asked with a sigh, sitting down closer to them.

(( Knock yourselves out razz ))
