The atmosphere between Rosalina and Gregory grew more tense by the second. Their gazes were locked unto each other and Rosalina was somewhat surprised by how uncomfortable the guild master of Iron Enigma looked. Then again, she did belong to the Magic Council; it was always a shock to her just how differently people treated her because of this fact. She doubted she'd ever get used to such a feeling. There was a good distance between them, and for a moment the air felt stagnant from all the anticipation when suddenly Gregory revealed his reason for seeking out Rosalina.
"[color=silver]I want you to take Luna off any lists the Rune Knights have that might come to try and hurt her in the future,[/color]" Rosalina's expression softened at his words. Her hand, which had been resting inconspicuously near the hilt of her blade, fell down to her side. This man had risked persecution by Rosalina or the other Council Members for the slim hope that they might be able to pardon one of his guild's mages. For a while, Rosalina stood silently; folding her arms across her chest as if to signal Gregory to continue.

"[color=silver]I also would expect that she won't be in Iron Enigma for much longer. She's a good kid, too good for us, and I'd hate to see her get hurt in the future because of what family she happened to be born into.[/color]"
[i][color=crimson]... what family she happened to be born into.[/color][/i] The words echoed in Rosalina's mind, and as her thoughts drifted she found herself picturing the smiling face of someone whom she once cared deeply for. Alas, that was in the past. Though she couldn't help but feel the emotion behind Gregory's plea. Her lips turned upward into a smile as she covered her eyes in disbelief.
"[color=crimson]Pardoning a member of a Dark Guild will not be an easy feat. I would need to bring it up with the council, there would have to be a hearing before a board of selected council members. It would be a big ordeal to put the girl through.[/color]" Rosalina was confused by how eager she was to help. Though whenever she heard Gregory's words, she could only ever hear them in [i]her[/i] voice. The way she had stood up for Rosalina all those years ago to save her from that wretched place she called home. What Gregory wanted was no different, and Rosalina couldn't help but feel for him.

Though the idea of putting someone through the labyrinth of trials, hearings and juries was definitely not something she'd wish upon anyone. Though there seemed to be no other way around it. Rosalina had all but given up hope when suddenly her eyes lit up with realisation. Stepping closer to Gregory, Rosalina gently placed a hand on his shoulder with a smile. If anyone else could have seen her now, they would have sworn she was a different woman. Though Gregory's request really resonated with her and reminded her of happier times with someone she loved; it wasn't everyday she got to feel that way.
"[color=crimson]Mr Vale, would you be able to organise a meeting between myself and this Luna?[/color]" Before Gregory could question it, Rosalina spoke up and revealed her plan. "[color=crimson]I am looking for Rogue Wizards to recruit into the Rune Knights. As I'm sure you're aware, the Knights have become the laughing stock of Fiore and it is my goal to rectify this. I would be happy to take Luna under my wing and train her to be a Knight. She'd have her status as a dark wizard pardoned and I'd be able to keep an eye on her so the Council wouldn't worry. Of coarse, I won't force this upon her. Hence why I wish to meet with her and present this offer to her myself.[/color]" It was a bit of a long shot, but this was an opportunity for Rosalina to begin recruiting more Knights. The idea of recruiting a dark wizard might have concerned the Council, but Rosalina herself was considered by many to be a dark mage due to the nature of her blood magic. She especially knew that even those who have touched the darkness were still people. Her expression went somber at that thought while she waited on Gregory's response. Yes, even those who gave into the darkness deserved a second chance; just like she herself had been given.
