 The Meeting hall for the Espada is a dimly-lit room with a long table in the middle with over a dozen, quite tall chairs that are seated about a half foot apart from each other. There is a set of concrete steps leading up to the only door, which does not appear to close, thus allowing a small amount of light into the room.

She allowed her hand to slide gently down the wall of Las Noches, watching the small confrontation that was held between Iago, a man that Iduvina despised, though, anyone that was not Zenos, she didn't care for. Looking on to Zenos, she wanted to approach him, wanted him to embrace her in his arms, to show him her affection, that would be an amazing day, but she knew she wouldn't. To her surprise, she diverted her attention away from Zenos for a moment to see someone of almost identical appearance, was it his brother? She didn't feel animosity for the man, unlike all the others, perhaps it was because he resembled the man she had fallen deeply in love with. Iduvina's anger grew to a height of heights when she viewed Joliesse. It had been, on more than one occasion, that Iduvina had tried to convince Joliesse of leaving, her success was always stopped by Zenos of course, who seemed to happen by whenever she got a chance to confront the girl. Iduvina only saw the girl as a nuisance to Zenos, Joliesse trailed him day after day, she desired to be in her spot, as the real problem with Iduvina was jealousy. She held the rank of Sexta Espada, but she'd give up her rank to be beside Zenos, even to be classified as a mere disposable fraccion. Turning away, her golden hair flicking in the faint light that held Heuco Mundo permanently, and after executing a sonido, she appeared atop the construct, entering into a small secret passage on the far east side, she slipped down and into her room.
Placing herself on her bed, she stared into the abyss of darkness, letting her hair hang over her right shoulder, she began to play with it. Iduvina was classed as the most beautiful object currently living in all of Heuco Mundo, and while jealousy and hostility were not part of her norm, she couldn't help but feel this way the moment she thought about Zenos. "What's wrong with me? Have I no self control..am I really so desperate.." Feeling slighted and ashamed, she covered her face with her hands, though as a sudden knocking came onto the door, she lifted her head, it slid open as she welcomed whoever was outside in. "Madam Iduvina, a meeting has been called, all Espada must attend." Iduvina smiled softly before giving the Numerous a nod. The door slid shut again, but Iduvina allowed herself to lay back. "Maybe...maybe I'm approaching this all wrong, why can't I just be myself, I shouldn't have to scheme." She rolled onto her left side, her hair under cheek, she began to play with it again. "If Zenos had the slightest bit of interest in me..." Grinning as she sat up. "Listen to me, I sound like a childish school girl...but still.." She began to think about the other man as well, the one that looked remarkably like Zenos, who was he? She'd at least attend this meeting to find out. Walking gracefully to her dresser, she opened a small beautiful jewelry box, taking from it two small white berets, pinning them in her hair, she closed the lid again and left her room, having before placed a small crystal flower that Zenos had given her some years back in a special compartment of the case.
Once in the hallway, she walked with a heavy look, as if something weighed greatly on her mind, she appeared to have been thinking of something very important, or simply, something very personal to her. Either way, she failed to notice a few Adjuchas that were doing minor repairs on the castle due to the Espada's rampant nature. The meeting hall was some miles off, and she didn't appear to be rushing as she walked. Thinking about how Zenos saved her some twelve years ago, when she was a Vasto Lorde wondering around the expanse, defenseless, after which he gave her that small flower and brought her here, to Las Noches, she thought at that moment that they'd be together forever, but, Zenos, it seemed had literally forgotten about her completely, only recognizing her at meetings or passing by. She remembered his smile, he seemed so different back then, but at the same time completely the same. Being unable to clear her mind, she shook her head and tried to stay focused, gaining some unwanted glares of wonder or concern from Niuloa and Miuloa, two invented arrancar's that had been around since before she was here. After scuffling away from the awkward situation, she hurried herself, rushing around for an extended period of time, now running and not being careful to watch where she was headed, she slammed hard into something, hard enough to make her fall down. She landed on her right side, her shoulder was hurting, she sat up and winced in pain, rubbing her arm, she looked up to see if the other party sustained any injuries, and to her surprise, it was Zenos she had run into. Her face went red and she looked away, towards the floor. "I-I'm sorry...I wasn't watching where I was going..." She didn't know what to do, she only waited for him to respond.

Oktomaji
Quinto Espada -Waiting For Time
Oktomaji silently but surely made his way to the hall where the meeting was to be held. It had been quite some time since the Espada had any kind of meeting, so, least to say he was excited about the whole affair. Though not outwardly showing it, inside Oktomaji was smiling and jittery, he couldn't believe it, some sort of organization at last, it had been so very long since anything had happened, he knew that this must to be discuss something of great importance, and who knows, maybe they'd finally get to leave Heuco Mundo, at least, for a while, something he had been longing to do for some time now, but since Zenos had not given an order to do anything in the world of the living, he wasn't about to ask for a permission slip to simply walk around and possibly stir the interest of Seireitei, with a high level Espada walking around. Still, his hopes and dreams he wished would be realized at this meeting. As he passed a hallway, then another one, and then another one, he soon came to realize that he was lost. He stopped suddenly, flicking his pink hair back in slight frustration. It had been so long that they had had a meeting he'd completely forgotten where he was really going. As his face contorted, he aggressively grabbed a passing by girl. "What direction is the meeting hall? And be quick about it, I'm in a hurry!" The girl gave him directions, shaking and almost in tears, he threw her behind him and carried on to the left down a poorly lit corridor, a place and direction he'd yet to explore. Walking slowly, then picking up his pace after a bit, it seemed that the corridor just kept going on and on, it didn't seem to have an end, this made Oktomaji extremely annoyed, though he didn't stop walking, veins began to throb in his temples.
He began stretching his jaw, cracking it every so often, his frustration beginning to boil inside of him. Still, the hallway seemed to have no end, he stopped. "What is going on!!!" He took his fist and literally obliterated a wall that blocked him and another room that held a few dead numerous, he didn't really put much into the three dead bodies that became visible, they must have met a sticky end to someone stronger, that was just the way it went. He continued on, soon seeing a different colored light up ahead, meaning that there was either a fork in the road, or at least the start of a new hall, and that was just it. As he approached the new light, it was another hall, going left or right, he took the right path as he remembered the girl saying. This hall was shorter, but after all this walking and anger he had worked up a sweat and was breathing slightly heavily due to his annoyance. "Well, at least I'm getting somewhere now I presume." He followed the hall until he came to a set of stairs, walking down them, it became nearly pitch black, until he then came into a grand hall, but this was not the meeting hall, and on the edges of this room there was about twenty doors. Now Oktomaji usually was able to keep his calm to a point, but he wasn't in the mood, he was supposed to be in a meeting. Pointing his hand to a wall he used a Cero on about half of the room until it laid in rubble, it was then that a small rounded arrancar happened upon him. After being frightened by Oktomaji, the small hollow told him that the meeting room was just down that hall, pointing the the furthermost door on the left side of the room. Not saying another word, Oktomaji fled for the door, rushing and running, his hair flying rapidly around, at one point his sword began to hit the wall, which was annoying, so he untied it and carried it until he came into a wider area, it was then that he happened upon Iduvina and Zenos, it appeared that Iduvina had fallen, he wasn't sure what was happening, but he didn't care, he tied his sword back on his waist and carried on. Being the first to enter into the meeting hall, he took a seat and waited politely, arms crossed and eyes closed, resting. Passing So Slowly-

315  ┏───────────────┓ xxxΖenos Λthanasius xxx[Immortal Stranger] xxxΑποτρέψτε της γης xx[Averruncus of Earth] ┗───────────────┛ Primera Espada
After breaking up the fight between the two Espada and managing to ditch Joliesse, Zenos had moved towards Las Noches to make his way towards the meeting hall the Espada used for, well, meetings. It did not take him long as he had occupied Las Noches for the better part of 300 years and had spent a good portion of his time there exploring every inch of the palace; by that token, he was probably the only one living in Hueco Mundo who could traverse the labyrinth leading to Dios' body. However, he didn't need 300 years to figure that out, as the idiot who had made it constructed it out of an earthen material, making it child's play for him to navigate it after "speaking" to the stone that made up the walls. As such, he could do the same to the rest of Las Noches, allowing him to create secret passages and rooms, one of which he used to enter the meeting hall through a door that would otherwise go unnoticed by preying eyes.
As soon as he stepped out something collided into his side and though he did not budge an inch, whatever had hit him fell to the floor. Taking a second to shut the door behind him, Zenos turned to see Iduvina sitting on the ground and looking away in embarrassment while apologizing to him. For a few seconds, he stared down at her with a blank expression spread across his face as if he had nothing to respond with. Then, without speaking, he shut his eyes and shook his head before stepping past her , seized the backs of her robes and pulling her to her feet. After he was of the opinion that she was steadily on her feet, he turned away and returned his hands to his pockets and found a seat at the table without paying mind to Oktomaji. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄

Iago arrived in the meeting room not much longer after Zenos did. Having come from the same location, Iago had expected not to arrive until after Zenos. Of course, Iago had noticed that Zenos has some sort of way of moving through Los Noches faster than one expected anyway, but he had assumed this was connected to the Primera's abilities and didn't worry about it too much. Instead, Iago took his seat and propped his feet up. He was in a bad mood for having to stop fighting the Cuatro and didn't feel like dealing with anyone else at all. Especially those inferior to him.
In the meantime, as other Espada entered the room, Iago watched them with a foul scowl upon his face. The sooner they could get this done, the better.

Feeling slightly helpless and stupid, her face shot an even darker red color, Iduvina had become even more embarrassed that she was before, which she didn't realize should could be as Zenos helped her up, though slightly abruptly. As he left, she didn't follow for a few moments afterward, feeling quite jittery, though she loved the fact that she had physical contact with Zenos. Turning around in his direction she went to give her gratitude, but he was already too far ahead. She held her right arm with her left hand, her head dropping slightly, her face loosing its red color. She began to slowly walk into the meeting hall, she was thinking of a lot, how to approach him, she wanted to just speak to him normally but it was impossible, she didn't know how to talk to him normally, she didn't like the fact that she was so spaced out, but it was what happened to her. As she approached into the meeting hall, Zenos had taken his seat by now, she took hers, it was a ways from Zenos, but she couldn't stop staring at him, though her head was concentrated forward, her eyes never left his gaze. She placed her hands gently on the table, it was cool to the touch, it had been a while since the room was used. There was a thick layer of dust on the surrounding shelves. Iduvina wasn't sure what the meeting was about, but all the Espada hadn't assembled yet, but she wanted any excuse to talk to Zenos. "I hope you don't mind my asking, but...what is happening?" She knew her question would be met with either silence or being told to wait, but hearing Zenos' voice made her feel happy. "I hope everything is okay Zenos." She nervously played with her head, twirling it around her finger. She had never felt quite so nervous before, but it had also been so long since she had been in Zenos' presence.

After sitting himself down, Zenos took a moment to examine the back of his hand, then flip it over and curl his fingers inward to look at his nails. He had not gotten a chance to examine them since today's events, and it appeared they were in need of filing; most of them anyway. Once he was done inspecting his other hand through half-opened eyes, Zenos leaned forward, placing his elbows on the table and lacing his fingers together to form a platform for his chin. With a severe lack of interest, Zenos gave the table of Espada a sweeping glance before he spoke to them in a low, monotone voice that reflected great boredom. "I had a chance to visit our friends of the Gotei 13, and while I was there, something most unexpected occurred.
Or should I say, someone unexpectedly revealed herself... It appears that Shiva has awoken and has plans to take over everything, which includes Hueco Mundo... So, the Shinigami will be confronting her soon and the late Captain Commander has asked me to aid them should the need arise. I have yet to formally agree to this, but I have decided that the Espada will rise to the occasion and aid them in their time of need." After he finished speaking, he slid back, pulling himself off the table, and leaned back in his chair, propping his elbows up on the armrests and letting his hands meet above his lap. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄

Iago scowled at Zenos' announcement. For one thing, he was outright admitting to going to Seireitei without the rest of them. On the other, he was talking about helping their own mortal enemy?
"Lemme get this straight: we're gonna have to help the Shinigami, instead of killing them?" Iago asked, clearly unhappy with the news. "What about this Shiva lady? Who the hell is she, and can we kill her? Or is she on your don't touch list as well?"
He was an Espada, and a high level one. It was time that he quit being held back by stupid orders.

After Iago had escaped his fire pillar, Zenon remained inside it, basking in the heat of his own abilities while he awaited his opponent's next move. Through the flames, Zenon watched his arrogant opponent plunge his sword into his shadow on the ground, and then unbeknownst to him, attempt to shoot a Cero from below Zenon's feet through his own shadow. This attempt proved to be futile as Zenon was standing there with flames going skyward and effectively erasing his shadow with their light. Zenon remained ignorant to his failure for now and wouldn't figure it out until he saw Iago's abilities with his own eyes later. Amidst the crackling flames, Zenon watched as Iago vanished to approach him, and promptly dispelled his attack with a single thought so that he may meet his attacker head on. Iago had been lucky he had done so; why the Espada would try to approach him from behind in the middle of his own flaming pillar was beyond him. Zenon merely chalked it up to stupidity and with that fleeting thought he performed Gemelos Sonído to avoid to incoming Cero to his back. It wasn't a necessary tactic by any means as the Cero would have simply passed through his body, but Zenon was in the moment and instead chose to approach Iago from behind.
Grinning to flash his dagger-like canines, Zenon approached Iago from behind, in an a wraith-like manner while his Cero went straight through his afterimage, which sustained itself for several seconds, making the illusion that it was the real deal all the more believable. With sounds gone from his body and his Reiryoku erased from sense, Zenon moved swiftly upon his opponent with stealth second only to Zenos himself. He was just preparing to reach around the Espad and claw out his throat with a single slash when he suddenly felt Zenos' approach. Instinctively he abandoned his attempt on Iago's life, but it was far too late for him to get away, as his brother was simply all too quick. If it weren't for his Vampiric sense, he would not have seen Zenos perform a back-kick to Iago's face, and it was for this very trait that he was able to notice this and allow Iago's suddenly air-borne body to simply pass straight through him as he flew back. What he did not catch, however, was when Zenos appeared behind him and before he was even fully visible, kicked Zenon in his lower back and knocked him several hundred yards like a ragdoll. With Zenos' speed and reactions being above his, he was unable to react to this quickly enough, so the hit was solid. However, he was at the very least able to Sonído mid-air -- not an easy task by any means -- and position himself close by to where he had begun. He arrived back in time to hear Zenos' words and subsequent order; he chose to follow it even though he was annoyed that his fight had been taken away from him.
As soon as Iago's words reached his ears, he merely smirked at the Tres Espada's retreating backside and shook his head at his ignorance. "No, my friend, it is you who was saved by him." He said this to himself quietly instead of shouting his rebuttal; Iago had remained ignorant to his impending doom, and it would only work in Zenon's favor to continue to let him think this way. Baring a fang through another smirk, Zenon encompassed his entire body with flame before he vanished into thin air, arriving at the door to the meeting hall a short while later. He opened the door in time to hear Zenos addressing the others, and was making his way to his chair when Iago responded with his own words. Laughing lowly, Zenon took his seat by the top and pulled it backwards while leaning over it and clutching the table with his other hand. After sitting down, he leaned back in his chair, tipping it slightly and shook his head in response to Iago. "Ne, boya... If you know even one thing about Zenos, you wouldn't talk to him like that." Sneering, he licked his lips and laughed in an almost hyena-like fashion while he put his hands behind his head and stared at the ceiling. "Careful now, kiddo. He doesn't anger easy, but you don't want it to happen." For him, he was fine with helping them; he didn't care so long as he got to fight someone. He assumed Zenos would realize this on his own and not expect some sort of response from him about it. Come forth, undying flame of the underworld. ►Translations◄

Iago sneered as the little brat from earlier entered the room. He had hoped the boy would be stupid enough to stay out for a while, but wasn't so lucky in the long run. Regardless, when Zenon sat and made his comment, Iago just replied with a scowl and replied, "I wasn't talking to you, brat. Unless you want to show his arm up your a**, I suggest you let him speak his own words."
Iago didn't have any reason to act nice to the newcomer. He had pent up tension from the lack of activity, and didn't release enough of it upon the man earlier. He would gladly welcome a second chance to beat the man senselessly, but knew it would have to wait for later. In the meantime, he would much more rather wait to hear for orders from the more intellectual side of the kid's family.

Iduvina was listening tentively as Zenos spoke, blocking out the others there at the meeting, though it suddenly struck a cord when she heard that they were to aid the shinigami, she shot him a surprised look, she wanted to speak but for the time being did not. Her eyes twitched until she couldn't handle it anymore. "Zeno's why would we aid them? Why would we rush to the rescue of those who make it their goal in life to destroy us?" Iduvina did take into account that this common enemy was going to attack them, but. "Why not let the Shinigami fend for themselves, and when, and if she does attack us, we'll fight her off." Iduvina wasn't thinking clearly at this moment, in regards to the forces that this woman possessed, and that the shinigami aiding her might be the only way to survive, but the thought of helping them, even though it was coming from the man she loved, she couldn't help but feel a bit discouraged from doing so, but she was feeling extremely out of line, and before she let Zeno's respond she spoke again. "My apologizes.. please forgive that outburst." She turned away from Zeno's, feeling ashamed that for a moment she wanted to go against what he was saying. She didn't speak after that, almost wanting to cry. She clasped her hands together and sat them gently in her lap, it wouldn't be long before Zeno's spoke to them all addressing the final details of the plan to aid the shinigami, she felt angered, with herself and with the thought of saving a shinigami. Iduvina then looked over to Zeno's brother, a man that had only recently appeared. She wondered if Zeno's would make a proper introduction of the man or not, it made her feel a bit uneasy to have another man in her presence that resembled Zeno's.

Oktomaji
Quinto Espada -Waiting For Time
Carefully absorbing every word spoken, Oktomaji made note of a few key things. After the bit of meaningless conversation was over, he turned his attention to Zenos. "I see, and, would you happen to know any history on this woman? I can't say I'm at all familiar with this particular individual." Oktomaji was keen on reading and studying, all matters of beings, but most of all Shinigami, he couldn't say he took a fond interest in them personally, but their history provided him battle plans, knowing your foe on a basic level was something he enjoyed having. But the mention of a woman named Shiva only struck in him discomfort, he had read thousands of stories from the shinigamis past, but never had he come across and article pertaining to their now apparent enemy. "What exactly has she done directly to the shinigami? Do we know what kinds of powers she possesses." Oktomaji was using this meeting time for what it was intended for, gathering information and using it to create a strategy, he shared in Iduvina's discomfort of aiding those shinigami, but he knew that it was an absolute order, and he felt no need to comment on the matter further, he took several glances at Induvina, he wanted to give her a reassuring smile, or something of the sort, but it wasn't the time, he couldn't let his mind fill with sympathy for another, he had to focus. "What exactly is the plan in regards to aiding them? Do we know when we are needed?" So many questions flew from Oktomaji's mouth quicker than one might be able to answer them, but this was what he was like, he didn't plan on beating around the bush, he suspected that the Arrancar forces might be in for a historic even for themselves, and wondered if this would change the course of interactions between them and the shinigami, he had his doubts, seeing as their life style was not about to change to meet the needs of their spiritual counterparts, but regardless, he kept this thought in the back of his mind. Oktomaji, like Induvina, glanced over at Zenon, he had no clue who this was, as this was his first time actually seeing the man, he hoped that his identity would be made known, Iago was spewing something at Zenon and he spewed something else back, it appeared that these two were already well acquainted, not very surprising, he mumbled to himself in his mind, looking away with a slight roll of his eyes, gesturing that he didn't take kindly to Iago's out going attitude.

Slapping the table with his opened right hand, Zenon abruptly stood in place, an act which pushed his chair backwards. As he stood up, his face contorted into an expression of deep hatred and anger, and although he appeared to want to say something, he remained silent as he worked to control his feeling and alleviate his anger towards the retard sitting across the table from him. Finally, he appeared to calm down, and after exhaling a sigh, he jabbed his finger in Iago's direction. "Look, little boy. First of all, I'm not a damn brat; I'm easily hundreds of years older than you. Gonna let that slide though, since you're obviously an idiot with a superiority complex. Also, idiot, I'm his twin brother; we think the same. Only difference is, fool, he's more reserved than I am, but he'll still stab you in the face if you keep talking like that, so shut your idiot face before saying stupid crap like that again. You clearly don't understand how ridiculously outclassed you are." Snapping his fingers, he spontaneously ignited the chair next to him, turning it to ash in a fraction of a second as a minor display of his still very much released Resurrección.
"I could reduce your insides to dust before you could cross this table. Know your place, brat." Finally sitting down after his small outburst, the veins in his temples were visible for a moment as they tensed up, then relaxed while Zenon returned to cooling himself off. Eventually, he looked over towards Oktomaji, finally paying the kid attention now that he had said something worth responding to, in a loose sense anyway. "Who cares?" Zenon shrugged his shoulders in a lackadaisical fashion, clearly done with Iago and no longer thinking about him. "If she's strong, that's all that matters. Don't tell me you actually care about that stuff. Feh, in my day, we killed first and asked questions later. Some world this turned out to be." Turning his attention to his ear, he dug some wax from it with his finger, then examined it before flicking it off in the general area behind him. Come forth, undying flame of the underworld. ►Translations◄

Iago just grinned as he noted that he had touched a delicate note on Zenon. He remained seated, listening to the brat ramble on, and then laughed when he tried to threaten him.
"You could be a thousand years older than me, but as long as you act as stupid as that, you will always be a child before me! Also, although I imagine Zenos won't like what you'll do to his room..." Iago jeered and rose to his feet. The hair on the back of his neck was starting to rise in anticipation. "I would gladly take you on again, just so I can show you how truly pathetic you are again. Kid."
As Zenon returned to his seat, so did Iago, even though he still wanted to fight. He watched for the slightest movement from Zenon though, expecting battle to break out any moment now.

Following Zenon with his eyes as he sat down, Zenos couldn't help but listen to him speak to Iago in a roundabout attempt to prevent Iago from angering him. It wasn't exactly the best attempt given his laughing and how he spoke, but an attempt nonetheless it was. It seemed that attempt fell on deaf ears as Akusuna retorted quickly, taking no heed to Zenon's words and instead deciding quickly that Zenon apparently had no place speaking on Zenos' behalf. This of course only proved to get on Zenon's nerves and more notably his own. Zenos had already formed a negative opinion of the boy long ago, and the fact that he had not killed Iago was itself a good show of his patience. He was no longer helping his own cause as he continually insulted his little brother; it appeared the boy lacked any sort of tact as he was openly insulting the Primera's kin without any sort of realization of the consequences that would stem from his statements. It came to pass that his final statement was the last straw, Zenos' breaking point, which had only been added on to by the questions presented by Oktomaji and Iduvina. Where they thought they were helping, they were actually hindering; Zenos expected them to simply listen to him or get out, he didn't have the inner patience to go over a handful of questions. Outwardly he could handle it; it was in his mind that things like this drove him crazy.
Iago finally managed to step past the boundary line and, for the first time in a while, cause Zenos to become visibly irritated. It was bad enough he insulted his sibling, but even worse yet that he did it under the guise of attempting to appear respectful. Not only that, but he was insulting someone he had only met. Zenos irritation became quickly apparent, the seal holding his Reiatsu back all but vanished, bringing forth a surging wave of oppressive power that acted upon each and every individual in the room, bearing down upon them like it was trying to wipe them from existence. Among this was the release of a fine dust that scattered amongst his Reiatsu, appearing only so it could be inhaled by the individuals that would be left gasping under his Reiatsu's pressure. The dust would serve to choke them relentlessly until he recalled it a period of six seconds later. By that time, the damage was already done; although he could not kill an Espada with that little of exposure to his Reiatsu, he could certainly debilitate a few, and traumatize the rest. More noticeable was the fact that all four walls and the ceiling now sported large cracks, the result of his abundant pressure trying to escape the enclosed room.
By the time all was calm once more, Zenos was still calmly seated in his chair, and now his gaze was trained on Iago. Then his eyes widened, and by focusing his pressure through his stare, he aimed to induce paralysis in the Espada while he began to speak. Although his voice was as it normally was, child-like and eerily calm, it was clear that he was quite serious. "Enough. You would do well to heed his warnings, lest you seek to spark my rage even further. Even I have a breaking point, Iago Zopyros; you were warned of this, yet you chose to ignore it. Let the record show that you are the stupid one. Test me once more, and I will not hesitate to end you. And if you find yourself having a problem with this, then begone. I have no use for pathetic cretins who cannot be reasoned with." Following the end of his statement, he released his formerly transfixed gaze from Iago, which would remove the paralysis effect, and then looked back toward the middle of the table. For a moment he was silent as he collected his thoughts, and then he finally spoke once more, answering the questions that he was annoyed with to begin with. "Look past their nature, little one." He began to Iduvina, speaking about her initial statement. "It is irrelevant, for the leader of that group has asked for our help. If he has the ability to ask, then we should have the ability to bend away from out instincts and decide something different. I won't say that they are right in what they do, but then again, I won't say that Hollow are completely innocent either.
In the time of great crisis, both sides must be able to look past such petty differences and join hands. Perhaps this is the beginning of a truce between our worlds; embrace it." Zenos inwardy cringed at this statement, the sounding of it was far too sappy for his taste and he would have much rather just told her to deal with it. However, what he had actually said was probably what she needed to hear, so he had to say it regardless of how he felt. Zenos then turned to Oktomaji, who had spoken about wanting to know more about Shiva. He didn't particularly want to explain a great deal about her, so he instead opted to give him a vague answer instead. "I don't know. Other than her reputation as a wielder of ice and cold weather, I don't know anything else." Finally, Zenos removed his hands from his chin and extended his right hand to place the tip of his pointer finger onto the top of the table. He tapped on it twice for his own reasons, and then made his final statement, or at least his intended final statement anyway. "If there are no other questions, this meeting is adjourned." His body language showed that he was prepared to leave, which in itself was meant to say "even if you have a statement, keep it to yourself." He was done with this meeting and he was quite fed up with being around others for such a long time, especially those who couldn't stop questioning him and insulting his family. ...and thus the world is petrified. ►Translations◄[If anyone ignores Reiatsu, I keel dems. = 3=]
