Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Emilia continued to berate him he sighed. He remembered now why he left, she was so sharp with her words. If Surtr was actually able to be offended he would have never been able to teach the girl. "It was a compliment Emilia, I think we can agree we fancy the superior sex, besides it just means we can be each others wingmen" Surtr said with a playful smirk knowing that last bit would anger her. She brought out his teasing side with all those nasty words of hers.

As she commented on his attire he seemed to look down. "Really? You think so? Oh bless you." He said with a smile very pleased to hear Emilia call his attire more like a beggar than a king. Ugh that was just what he needed to hear. He hated wearing such formal clothes so by saying he looked like a vagabond it was one of the best compliments she could give him.

Then the queen entered, she seemed rather annoyed he was here. I guess it was something he should expect when their two races had been in such a heated feud. Once she sat down Surtr would side as well hoping that would be the last of the pleasantries for the encounter. She seemed blunt and rather curt, odd but he could care less he supposed. Emilia's family was kind enough to provide him all the information he needed on Vampires so he had no need to linger. "Yes, I would like to end this pesky little feud." Surtr said brushing his hands in the air next to him as if to simply sweep away centuries of hate between them. "It's gone on for too long and I have nothing against your people so I'd like it to be finished." Surtr said concluding his argument to hopefully make it concise.

Emilias words fell on deaf ears. Surtr had not come to listen to a pupil he had come to speak to the queen. He had no interest in hearing her opinion on the matter so her words didn't even register. As the king came Surtr's gaze shifted and his head would dip slightly showing the king his due respect. As the man spoke Surtr would simply nod before returning his attention to the woman. It seemed she was the one he was meant to speak with and so he would.

As she seemed to grow enraged Surtr's face remained phlegmatic he let her express her anger. People tended to be so emotional when it came to these things, and if this was not important he would laugh at her inability to leave the past where it lay. Though that would only make his work more difficult. Surtr had been sent here and he would complete this mundane task as expediently as possible. He cared not matters like this and insulting or mocking this woman, no matter how warranted it may be would only drag the event out. So he would be a good little boy and play the game. "Yes, yes I am well aware of what they did. I and my people had no part in this event. Surely you must agree the actions of a few do not reflect the will of their people." Surtr said softly looking to Azme, if she did not agree with this statement he would have his answer on who she was. It would make the game easier and lower the threat she posed. A leader who could not see past emotion and act rationally was not suited for this game.

As she laid her terms Surtr would shake his head softly. "They reside in your kingdom. The one arbitrating should be you. I will happily sniff them out, but if they reside here their fate is not mine to decide." Surtr said plainly. This was fact, he was to become a "hunter" of mages that had long since cut their ties with his kingdom. As such they could not be considered his people anymore. He had no care for them and as such he would not be their judge jury or execution, no he would leave that up to the king (or queen) that presided over them. "So it's settled then? I aid you in discovering the stragglers you deal with them how you see fit and the past becomes the past?" He inquired looking to Azmerelda but his eyes moving to Robin as well.

He would study both of them. It served him well to understand and perceive what both were feeling regardless of which one truly ruled the kingdom.

The king spoke up and Surtr smirked softly. It seemed the audience was a part of these negotiations. How wonderful it was. His words aligned with what Surtr said, he had implicitly answered this statement though he supposed not being succinct enough was his own fault. His gaze would shift locking onto the King as he scooped up the little fiery orb holding it in his left hand now so that he would give his hands something to do while he spoke. "Of course. It is not my job to decide how Nightvale passes judgment on its people." Surtr said agreeing to that term. He didn't consider these rogues his people. They did not help build the foundation of Karst, they did not protect it from the war and give their lives to save its people. Their blood and sweat were not in the bricks of the college and as such to Surtr they were not his children to watch. "I care for the people of my kingdom not traitors in yours." He said allowing his opinion of these mages to be known.

Emilia spoke and this time her words made it to his ears. His smile was warm and a soft nod accompanied it. "Yes company would be preferred. If I am to go about your kingdom exterminating vermin best to have someone there to let people know I have permission to do so." Surtr said agreeing with Emilia. He ignored the part about her saying she wished to fight him. He would not engage her today. Bigger games were at play, and he dare not attempt to play too many hands at once.

Her wicked smile only brought a soft one to his lips. She had agreed. It was wonderful that this had been so easy. Something he could have sent a princess to do. Though he doubted either would have accepted. The council had urged him to start with a different kingdom to go to the elves first to try his hand with an ally but Surtr had shaken his head. He cared not for level of difficulty he knew starting here would grant him a taste of the world he hadn't been to in a while. So he would not be deterred. She stated her final terms and the king nodded. "Very well....How do you propose we seal this arrangement? I assume swapping princesses it out of the question." Surtr said removing the least likely candidate from the discussion. It was common place for kingdoms to trade princes or princesses for a time after such an arrangement. It ensured neither kingdom would lay siege to the other and in addition inherently trained an ambassador. Though Surtr suspected this was not even a possibility so he would dash it immediately.

So he was unsure what would remain. If they were merely sign a paper, go for a word of agreement or some odd blood oath. No the last one couldn't be right, these people wouldn't do something like that with their most precious currency. After this last detail was settled Surtr would leave with Emilia off to begin their little witch hunt.
