Umbrix turned, eyeing the babbling Crompter. He approached the old mage, leaned forward, and held up one of his long, dark fingers up to his teeth. After a moment, Crompter ceased his volley. Umbrix stood upright again and looked to the table.

[color=purple]"I did not come here for you."[/color] He said, looking to Seadus. [color=purple]"I did not come here for your pursuits. I don't care if your clairvoyance saw my arrival long beforehand or if it sees my cooperation long after, [i]I[/i]... came here for myself, and my House."[/color] He scanned the table a bit more and continued, [color=purple]"This gathering of yours? This project? It is [i]very[/i] grandiose and [i]very[/i] dangerous. I have no doubt in my mind it will bring about some unwanted attention from the mundane forces outside and, I'm not interested in becoming a soldier in an army."[/color]

He stepped away a few paces.

[color=purple]"You have all your own whim to play this game and I will not interfere with your efforts, but [i]I[/i] came here of my [i]own[/i] volition. Once I have what I desire, I am [i]leaving[/i]."[/color]

He paused for a moment, and then turned and left for the door once again.
