Passing through the portal into the realm of the Angels, A small noise sounded in her throat as her bare feet touched the solid ground. Sliding her hands over the fabric of her dress to flatten the bunched material against her thighs, the council woman pushed a few shorter long locks from her face before exhaling, her eyes searching for Durithill's figure, in which she caught in merely seconds. It was then a smile pulled across her smoothed features.
"Of course, I forgot, didn't I?" She addressed him with a grin. He shifted when they entered the Angelic Realm, therefore he was safe from the eyes of the angels.
"Perfect. Come along.." She said quietly, walking forward fluidly, the end of her ivory dress dusting the ground lightly as she proceeded through the northern area of the realm. Her hair, unlike moments ago, was is large, loose curls rather then being pin straight. Her dress, unlike the usual more revealling one she wore, covered hips completely, it was celestial looking. It crossed up over her chest and tied behind her neck.

"Of course, my lady." Durithill said with a slight bow before following her. "I really hate being formal..." he muttered in Raine's mind, but his face looked as impassive as ever. Just like a bodyguards. His best chance of staying out of trouble in this realm was to keep attention off himself, and no one ever pays attention to the lowly bodyguard. After a few moments they arrived at the mansion of the angel in charge of the realm: Mokinos Yalanar. "He's a stubborn old man, but very clever." Durithill's voice said to Raine. The guards at the door recognized Raine and stepped aside to let them through.

Oh humor me. You enjoy it as much as I do. Flashing a smile to him in response as the two approached the manor, Raine turned and nodded to one of the guards before beginning up the few steps leading into the building.
We'll see just what we can do. She replied in mind, surely they could crack this old man. Sure, he maybe stubborn, but Raine has delt with stubborn people for quite a while, and perhaps, being on council, she did have a bit of an upperhand.. But then again, it was really difficult to say. Walking into the main foyer, Raine folded her arms over her chest, the gloden bangles onher wrists moving to make a gentle sound.

"Remember, the council doesn't exactly have a lot of power." Durithill reminded Raine. "Part of the reason things get this out of hand in the first place." They approached another couple of guards who stopped them.
"You'll have to leave your weapons here." said one of the guards, holding out a hand. Durithill gave the guards such a harsh glare that both stumbled back, but the next instant his face was impassive again, causing both guards to be confused.
"An attack may come at any time, and as lady Raine's bodyguard I must make sure she'll safe at all times." he said calmly, and his calm demeanor seemed to confuse the guards even more. "I am a professional."
"R-right." stuttered the guard, glacing at his companion who shrugged. "J-just head right in." he said, opening the doors and stepping aside for them.

I know. She replied quietly, if that was possible to do in mind.
But being with the council also raises the chances.. Rather then being an ordinary citizen-- but her thoughts ended abrupty by the guard whom had demanded their weapons. Parting her lips to speak, also in protest, Raine found herself silenced by a dark stare over her shoulder, she could feel his piercing eyes without even looking at him. With a gentle smile towards the guards-- seeming completely opposite to her 'bodyguard'-- without another word, Shiero proceeded through to doors, glancing back at Durithill as she advanced up the staircase, just to be sure the guards didn't hold him back or bar him from entering with her. It was nice having someone with her.

Durithill didn't reply, for they were now in front of Mokinos Yalanar. Two bodyguards stood on either side of him, and though he wore nothing finer then the less rich angels, he had an impressive air to him. Durithill bowed. "Council woman Raine, your highness." Durithill said, introducing Raine.
"And who are you?" Mokinos asked in a slow voice that seemed to rumble like a dragon's.
"Her bodyguard." Durithill answered simply.
"I meant your name." Mokinos said, staring directly at Durithill.
"Kiroshin." Durithill answered. Mokinos' bodyguards were slightly wide eyed, but Mokinos didn't give a reaction. Nor did he ask for Durithill's first name.
"Why are you here?" Mokinos asked, looking at Raine. "Have you brought the one who caused the tradgedy in the southern district?"

Raine stood by idly as Durithill was questioned, she was quite impressed with his manners, so to say, along with the formal speech he so hated... His acting, at that, was done wonderfully as well. But as Shiero was addressed, she placed her hands on the loose-fitting material and lifted it lightly, giving a small curtsy with a bow of her head in respect.
"No, your Highness," she replied slowly, each word pronounced perfectly, each letter and syllable with care,
"but rather, I have come to speak with you about that matter." She sounded peaceful and quite polite... Usually she was.
"The accused is none other then the demon Durithill Tomsaruka, may you correct me if I am mistaken." With light, silent footsteps, Raine advanced towards the elderly man before her at a slow pace. Her arms were ifnront of her, hands clutched at her waist formally.
"However, I have thoughts other wise, which I would like to propose you... If you decide to hear my reasonings out, that is."

"We already know it was one of the Tomsarukas. Mokinos said. "Which one did it is your job to find out, is it not?" he said.
"Rathios must not have informed the angels of the council's suspicion..." Durithill said in Raine's mind.
"So I must ask, why are you wasting your time telling me something I already know, when you should be out there catching him?" Mokinos continued. The bodyguards looked at Durithill, as if expecting some sort of reaction. Durithill remained perfectly passive.

A polite smile pulled at the council woman's lips, from Durithill's keen eye, he would be able to see that she was clearly pleased with the the lack of knowledge the Angels had about the subject. It made things much easier... However, she needed to word things carefully.
"Yes, well, I came to inform you that the Tomsarkua whom caused this tradgedy was none other then Durimiros." Shiero paused, holding her posture perfectly before inhaling a small breath to continue.
"We are close.. He is nearly in our grasp. But in exchange of the death of the eldest Tomsaruka member, you will cease the war at hand, will you not?" She asked, nearly pushing her luck with teh question. He was clearly stubborn and waited upon far too often.

Mokinos sighed and shifted slightly, looking very annoyed. "I have already issued the council my demands on this matter." he said. "Bring me Durimiros Tomsaruka's head, and there will be no war. Now, if that's all you came for, I suggest you get moving." Mokinos said, waving Raine away with a hand.

There was really no point in clearing his name if it wasn't on the Angels' hitlist, right? Raine didn't want to push her luck with Mokinos, she was glad there was no questioning at that. With a respected gesture, Shiero lowered her head before taking a step or two away from the male, her hands clasped carefully infront of her.
"Thank you," she began quietly,
"a good evening to you, your highness.." With a small curtsy, Raine straightened her posture with a small smile on her face before spinning around to walk out..
Well...
At least that went over well. She would have to thank Rathios when they returned.

Durithill bowed and turned to leave as well. Suddenly there was two clinks, then the tinkle of something metal hitting the ground. Durithill's left hand was still on his sheath, but his right hand was extended behind Raine, sword in hand. "I suggest you don't throw poisoned needles at the council woman." Durithill said, his voice dangerously cold. The four bodyguards all reached for their swords, but hesitated, looking quite afraid. Mokinos slowly let his hand down, which had been extended from throwing the needles.
"You're quite fast on the draw, Kiroshin." he said, staring at the back of Durithill's head. Durithill flipped his sword over and slid it back into its sheath.
"Only as fast as I need to be." he said simply before gesturing for Raine to walk ahead of him.

Freezing in the spot, Raine turned to glance towards Mokinos, only noticing the blade of metal behind her as it was being pulled away. Her face remained neutral even after she realized what was happening, but the nervousness racked within her caused her hands to pull up to her chest. It was really hard to sa y what she would have done without Durithill, what would happen if she came here alone.. But then again, if she never met Durithill to begin with, she wouldn't have been in the mess she was in now.. Not that she regretted any part of it.
Just the thought of poisonous needles embedded into her skin was enough to make her nealy shudder. Moving her feet across the ground quietly, her frail figure moved swiftly, passing through the doors and into the hallway. It was there she took in a breath of the stale air lingering about the large room. It reaked of over-used chemicals used to clean the floors and staircase with three or so times a day and of men standing and sweating in full suits of armor. The poor air circulation caused the surrounding oxygen to become stale-- a scent she did not enjoy. Fitting for such a place as this.

"I told you: he wants a war." Durithill's voice said in Raine's head as they exited. The guards standing right outside the door looked nervous, having heard part of what had happened inside. "All we can really do now, I suppose, is find and kill Durimiros before your time is up." He did not relish the thought. After all, even though he'd completely blown away Durimiros last time, he had had to use some of his most powerful memories, some he still wanted to feel the pain from. It was what had kept him going most of his life. On the other hand, he hopefully wouldn't have to resort to Dragon's Rage this time.

Nodded in response to him. Yes, that's what they needed to do, for, she did not have all the time in the world to return with the word of Durimiros' death. A little over four days she had remaining, and that wasn't all that much time..
As they exited the building, Raine began to speak, her voice small and quiet. She still hadn't read the large text he handed her only a little while ago. For all she knew, that only had his past written in it.
"How are you planning to do this..." She said quietly, referring to Durimiros' death. Of course, she didn't expect him to announce his plans aloud, perhaps when they were in time when they were in a more private place rather then out in the open, but then again, he could say it in mind. However, it was his desicion and his decision only.
"I doubt I am able to do much," She started silently,
"but I'll do much as I possibly can.."
