Welcome to Gaia! ::

"One thing at a time. I'm willing to stay up all night and day to make the necessary preparations." Gambler said and tilted her head to the side. "Bane? You mean Princey-poo?" It took her back to remember the dashingly handsome arrogant fool of a Prince from the Fae realm and nodded. Of course she remembered him, he was the one screaming after her when she left with her men. Good times.

Then it occured to her that the male she encountered at the flea market looked exactly like the former Prince from such a long time ago. It could be a coincidence but then again, the way that woman sudden lost her mind and cause, well, chaos and then he stepped in getting the woman to cease all activity. Oh damn. She actually had met that Prince yet he didn't recognized her. Maybe that was a good thing because only Heaven knew what he would have done to her in that point of time, even with Rave there.

"I know I have many flaws but I have other things that more than make up for them especially when it comes to stopping a whole army." She shrugged and looked at the Fae. "Why do you suddenly have interest in this city? Other than to stop the Unseelie of course, why now that you finally stop them when you have all the time and the necessary resources to stop them without involving the people here and heaven knows who else?" She asked them, wanting to know because to her it was just a all of a sudden thing and Gambler has had enough of all of a sudden problems happening.

Joker smiled boardly. "I might need one more kiss on this cheek to have for a good night." He said, pointing to his other cheek, joking with Kit.

Listening to the annoying creatures, Rave stayed silent, almost seeming to disappear with his stoic expression and silent demeanor. He was beginning to dislike these three creatures more than he disliked Eri; pointless little creatures who didn't see what he saw. There was more to this city than they had seen, Rave only knowing for when he left and explored when he was supposed to be resting.

But, there was no sound, no reaction from the man. His thoughts went to ways to do this without the Fae, mind going to Dusk, Talon, and Kalore. They were good against the glamor, able to somehow resist it because of their mixed blood. Or some other reason, no one knew. Eyes covered with his dark hair, the beautiful man continued to stand there, just listening to what was said around him.

Grinning, Kit leaned over and kissed the man on his cheek softly, "There. I hope Joker can now get home with a smile. You don't want to stay out too late, hon."

Kit smiled at him, nodding slightly, "I'll be fine. I survive every night. If something happens, I've got Eri backing me up. People know that I work for him, and as much as Red might hate him, Eri protects his people." Another smile and she kissed his cheek again. "Now get going before I just keep you here, okay?"

Listening to what Gambler said, Rave wanted to smile, but not only did his body never allow him to smile in public, he wouldn't ever do something like that in front of these things. They hadn't shown anything to him or her to show any use, so why give them any sense of who either of them were? They were just useless bugs in his mind. Aria had some use, only safe because of the slight respect she showed them at first.

Gambler was not acting all superior. The only one superior in her mind was the one she would forever answer to, fear and love and that person was God himself. Anyone could think she was superior but she had a background to back it up and some people just didn't have long enough life spans to hear all of it.

For starters, the only one of the Fae here that seemed to have their feet grounded was Aria. There was some form of respect for her because she had revealed personal things that most would have rejected to do and move on to bigger and better things. No, she respected Aria for doing a one woman crusade for herself and for her family.

As for these two Fae, they presented themselves far above anyone here and they might be high ranking nobles of their people. Who knew? It mattered not because in this city everyone, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly were all treated equally and if you didn't like it, well she had a demon who would more than happily take them to a little, well it was HUGE, place called Hell.

Yes, these two Fae would have to be the ones with the rest if they come to watch out for. The female fae looked like she would stab someone in the back in a heart beat. Looking at Cyen, however, she was alittle reserved on him. Then again he was insolent as his female companion. "You know with all due respect but wouldn't it be a shame if your Great Mother saw the kind of manners your showing me? Do be surprised if you get back what you dished out to me." The boss said in a calm tone.

Her gaze turned on Aria but it was full of patience. "If there is a secured place you feel comfortable with then lead the way but know this, if your playing games with me, not only will the Unseelie get to have my playground and get to breathe down your necks, but you get my peoples as well. Believe me, you don't want them mad." She said sweetly and giving them a charming smile. If you didn't know her, you would have thought she was joking but she wasn't and that was a fair warning.

Joker chuckled. "Becareful Kit. I might consider that a invitation." He said waggling his finger at her and blew a kiss to her, bowed and started to leave.

A strange eery calm passed over Alouthiani and only the two other Fae could sense the strange, electric hostility that charged her aura now. "Wingam, peace, Alouthiani, she knows not her error." Cyen murmured and turned his gaze to the oddly quiet Rave. "Practice civility, patience, and understanding. They do not know of Hoa-Ki just as we know little of their deity." He said, his voice soothing and calm. He matched Rave's stoic expression but inside he was enraged, deeply offended. For Hoa-Ki to be referenced in such a way. But it wouldn't do to emulate his hotheaded partner. So he kept a cool head.

Aria shook her head. "Please excuse them. You must understand they can't afford to get attached to anything or anyone here, or things will get personal, like it has for me. For me, there is no going back. They don't understand how to tread the line of humility and servitude." Aria turned to face Alouthiani and frowned. "And they will do their best to respect your authority from now on." She said deliberately and Alouthiani's cold exterior melted into a carefully arranged aloof expression.

"Yes. From now on we'll keep our manners in check 'lest we offend our Great Mother." She murmured, struggling to keep the words from hissing through her clenched teeth. Cyen only nodded.

Aria turned away from them and met Gambler's gaze sincerely. She walked past her and towards the tree. Aria placed her palm on it's rough bark and allowed herself to melt into it, through the Earth, finding a place that she knew would ease the tensions. She found it then, a sanctified building. A church erected to glorify a god they've only heard of. But a church's meaning belonged only to the worshipers that attended. "I've found a place not far off from here. We can travel there together and discuss matters along the way. But if only that is alright with you."

Gambler was livid but did she show it? No. Emotions couldn't get in the way of business because then she would be walking a fine line between logic and emotions, especially her anger. Though, she was a mischievious little seraph that couldn't help but be sarcastic. "Be still, Rave." She said gently, touching his hand. "I want to hear what they have to say. It's the lest I can do for them being so mean to me." Boy, she was something else.

"And don't talk about your Great Mother that way. You know they do hear you and it's not nice to piss them off." She mocked scolded them as she pointed to the heavens to emphasize her point and looked at Aria with the same patience she didn't give to the annoying Fae. "As for that place? Let's hope I don't burst into flames." She said, nodding to the choice of place to discuss this. Though after her comment she propable guessed that the fae would be glad if she did burst into flames.

Listening to the girl's outburst, Rave finally moved slightly, tilting his head to the side. "As you wish." The words that he had spoken to Gambler so often didn't hold the same loving air, but a haunting tone to them. Even though Rave was one of the most respected men in his home, all of the elves and most of the fae even knew who he was and respected him, he lowered himself to working under someone because this wasn't his home, his land, but hers. It was the proper etiquette that those who wanted respect practiced.

He glanced over at Gambler, his now silver eyes showing how tight of a leash he was putting himself on. If this were just him, he would have walked out long ago. Leaving the Fae to deal with the creatures he could summon from his shadows, leaving them to death. But here, and under her supervision, that wasn't allowed. Sadly.

Aria sighed and felt an overwhelming sadness overcome her. At this rate, the pure uncooperation would cost her her place amongst her people, but more importantly than that she would undoubtedly lose Logan. Bane had seen into her soul when he saw Logan. Saw her vulnerable expression with him before she had a moment to guard herself. She knew he would stop at nothing to break Aria and the sure fire way to do that was to get Logan.

Alouthiani seemed to sense the sadness that now hung over the usually sunshiney Aria like a grey cloud and even she managed to swallow her attitude. "The Unseelie are incredibly ritualistic. Handing over our Great Mother for the Dark Lord, they've betrayed and deeply offended our Mother's limitless grace. Each day, we meditate, going to our Mother, worshipping and blessing Her. The Unseelie do the same, glorifying their Dark Master with chaos, destruction, and evil."

Cyen chimed in then, "Killing the Unseelie is easy enough, a stab through the heart or the head. They are no where near invincible. But they are resiliant, and they fight brutally. Our two sides have faced off on a battle field twice, and twice only. The most effective way to drive out their poison and keep casualties low is to keep their hold on an area lose. The Unseelie see only deceit. The only way to get them to leave is if their Master is challenged and our Great Mother is personified in one of our Fae."

It was Aria's turn to frown then. "Hoa-Ki chooses which of the Seelie is worthy enough to become a vessel for her word. Sometimes she appears and annihilates our advisary. Sometimes no Fae can be blessed with that honor. And in that case the Unseelie and their Master are victors. Their Master will come in physical form, and they will wreak a havoc like none you have ever seen. But if Hoa-Ki chooses a Fae, this land will become blessed in the Great Mother's glory, and will eternally be peaceful. I'm sorry to say that Area 6 happens to be the next stage in our war. I'm sad to say that our trials have now become your burden but..." she shrugged and began walking towards the church, wordless.

"Should you chose to reject the aid of the Seelie Court the Dark Master's presence will arrive with a quickness with no opposition to stand against it," Cyen said in his dry analytical voice again. His pupils dialating as he broke his trance and focused on Gambler. "I have no doubt that you will fight valiantly. But may Hoa-Ki have mercy on your downfall, and cushion your landing. No world that has stood up to the Unseelie unprotected has emerged victorious."
