[color=a187be][h3][center]~The Faceless, Nyarlith~[/center][/h3][/color] Nyarlith laughed at Aesir's question. The answer to that question was obvious. For one so suited to war and conquest, it shouldn't have been all that hard for him to wrap his head around. That mask really wasn't suited for him. Khata almost wanted to rip it off his face...but they restrained themselves. Instead, they simply laughed. [color=a187be]"But of course! Betrayal is in most of our blood, after all."[/color] The creature gesticulated as they spoke, pacing back and forth slightly. [color=a187be]"I can't say I know the feeling though. Servitude has been in my nature from the beginning! I serve, that is my role in the Cosmos."[/color] They stopped their pacing, bowing slightly and pointing towards the Apotheosis of the Court with an open palm. [color=a187be]"But as long as all of us do what we do best...the chaos we bring shall be the most delightful, and as long as the statue gets destroyed then what does it matter? As long as we do not get in each others way, it doesn't!"[/color] They laughed in an uneasy manner, standing up straight and focusing on Vortigern and his and Trenton Baker's proposed plan. A strategist! How delightful. Certainly something they needed. Cosmos knew Khata wasn't the most strategic of people. Certainly they knew how to best use their abilities and the abilities of their servants, when it came to everyone else they were not all that good. The orders would be easy enough to deal with. A barrier around the order of the Stars while they and Vortigern destroyed them. Of course, that left the order of Moon and Sun. [color=a187be]"A barrier is certainly doable! Though...heh, it shall not be quite what you should [i]expect.[/i]"[/color] They walked over to the table, placing a hand on it, observing the pale light over the Order of the Stars. [color=a187be]"I can have the Enlightened and my Servants work on it immediately once we leave. It will require a bit of preparation...but, it shall certainly be worth it. Seven days, seven days...yes that is plenty full nights of preparation to bring the Cosmos closer."[/color] They muttered that last bit as if deep in thought about something but fell silent, masked visage falling on the pirate as he voiced his plan. Sneak in the waterway, wait for the festival, then wreak havoc. Certainly a plan that they could get behind. Even the little comment about them -'Crazy Bitch' amused them. A false statement on both accounts of 'crazy' and 'bitch' but amusing. [color=a187be]"Ahaha, Crazy? No no, I simply see more than others. You all simply see less. But,"[/color] They gesticulated once again as the spoke. [color=a187be]"I like The way you think One of the Sea, I approve."[/color] Khata was liking the Pirate more than the others. Vortigern was also there, as well, though it was obvious they had always been fond of mages and scholarly types. They often tended to be the easier ones to...indoctrinate, as it were. [color=a187be]"The ones of the Sun will not know what has hit them, will they? With someone else picking them off while chaos unfolds, they won't know what is even happening. A delightful feast for those of the Outer Reaches of the world..."[/color] that still left the order of the moon, though, did it not?
