Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aria frowned and nodded, "this is a sound suggestion I know... I just... wished he could lead a normal life. With Bane threatening him, that's not possible. I see that now..." She cast her eyes down and folded her arms across her chest. "I would be greatful if you would use men to protect him, I just prefer it was to a place of my choosing?" She asked and looked up to Gambler. "I would just feel more comfortable that way..."

Aria looked thoughtful for a moment. "If this is anything like their previous plan of attack they'll be slowly easing into Area 6, quietly planning their next move until BOOM they're everywhere." She chewed on her lower lip for a moment and shook her head. "But with Bane amongst them now I think normalcy will be the last word in their new attack plan. Bane is very big in the whole 'Detente' political theology. He won't bother with someone unless they are very strong economically and politically. Which only means he has to be the biggest and the baddest on any play ground. So I think... that we should expect them to come on a little stronger than usual." She furrowed her brow and shook her head.

"I just don't know! Please Gambler, I only know of their strategies from news reels and word of mouth, and that is days after they strike. As much as you can't stand them Cyen would give you a better insight to what they might do or what you should prepare for. And Alouthiani would tell you of their bizarre rituals, which I know for a fact play a very big part in how they fight. I would be sufficient in supplying information in those areas if it weren't for the fact that Bane's betrayel throws a very large monkey wrench into everything. And both Cyen and Alouthiani were his counselors, and worked closest with him. They would know more than me. Much more."

The elf had been listening the whole time, and a small smile was at his lips as he bowed his head, "I believe I have an idea on containment for a battle when needed, and I know of people that know how to fight these things, but would much rather not be mentioned to someone whom they haven't introduced themselves to." Rave gave Aria a slight nod, "But they know how to act, and they keep to themselves."

He glanced over at Gambler, "And they would be of great help. I agree with speaking with the other Fae, but only under the condition of the female one, Alouthiani, keeps her words cautious and thinks more on what she says." He bowed his head again, showing that he was done speaking. In his mind, though, Rave was thinking of everyone that would be of use, one of them being someone that most of the people here disliked.

"Thank you for speaking your piece just as I have." Gambler looked around, glad that she picked a room that had a table with four chairs. Since Rave had the place sound proof, they wouldn't know about it but neither would any enemies that happen to be following these Fae. Even a sacred place of worship could prove a vulnerablity in sharing it's secrets. "Aria, bring your two companions so we can sit more comfortably and talk this through. No more playing games and no more smart talk. I want to end this before it even starts." She said seriously.

Gambler went to the table and setted up five chairs for everyone to surround the wooden furniture. "My good man, we are going to get down to the nit and gritty of this meeting. If you want my help I need yours so we can formulate a plan or hopefully alot of plans to stop this growing threat before I go personally to the Unseelie and beat them senseless. Let's not do that. Please, let's be at peace and sit comfortably." She said, motioning for everyone to take a seat.

Rave kept himself from looking reluctant as he sat by Gambler, not wanting to do it, for he preferred to stand, but it was something that they might as well do. He continued to stay silent, not wanting to say more than what was needed, but mainly because Rave had something else in his mind. As much as he would listen, he was thinking more on how to get to those that needed to be gotten, granted Gambler gave the okay.

Rave raised a brow, "My name is Rave, not whatever it is she said... As for my silence, I do not speak much, for there is not much I need to say. I can't say much when I don't know enough of the situation, now can I?" His voice and tone was soft, but his eyes were sharp, chilling. Rave wasn't used to being called out, having been the Master of the Guards at Ellwood, in charge of all sources and matters for all elves; and important guy. Even Lucien, as horrible of a man as he was, never second guessed him. He was only hiding the things that the Fae had no reason of knowing.

((Lol, it's ok. Rave just really doesn't talk much in front of people that he doesn't know...or like...>_>))

Alouthiani arched a brow at Gambler waggling her finger at the Fae. "If this is the women that insulted Bane I would have understood why he went over to the Unseelie side to justify killing her..." she snarled. She threw a glance over at Aria with a smirk. But of course this wasn't the women otherwise Aria wouldn't associate with such a disrespectful... Aria didn't cover the expression in her eyes. "It's her!" Alouthiani shrieked and slammed the table with her fist.

"Aria how could you?" Cyen asked, disgust coloring his tenor treble. She averted her gaze. This was not the time.

"I will tell you everything later. Please. If we could finish this meeting. I'll tell you everything. Hoa-Ki as my witness,"

"Disgusting..." Alouthiani snarled and bowed her head.

"I'm very disappointed. If Xander Kahn were to hear this... would he allow this? I wonder if he would banish you straight-away..." Cyen hissed as well. Both Fae looked as if they had tasted something foul.

"Kin. Please. In time. But now." She stuttered and her shoulders sagged forward. Suddenly she felt embarassed. But she reminded herself she was a royal for goodness sake! She did not slouch. She forced herself to sit upright and looked at Gambler. Alouthiani's face screwed into a snarl.

"I'm ashamed I could forget the face of such insolence and disrespect." Alouthiani growled again and Cyen made a grunt of agreement. "None the matter. Aria. You'll say your piece later."

"Yes. We've been rude, excuse us." Cyen said and wiped the disgust clean from his face and turned hardened, hostile eyes onto Gambler, they venom clear in his gaze. "We are here today to forge an alliance," he spit the words out. The very same words Bane spoke ten years ago. "To be frank, I think the wisest thing to do now is to call in the troops. The Unseelie aren't very far off now," he finished and looked away. Suddenly unable to stand the sight of her.

It was safe to say that these people held grudges.
