Orias wasn’t expecting such a direct approach from Nabarra. While he wasn’t surprised that she hadn't earned them an immediate welcome, he could appreciate the fully abrasive honesty of it. The light elf she had spoken to seemed to have better things to do than killing dark elves. As the others of the group began speaking up it seemed like they were all escorting Princess Mika somewhere. Well, two men seemed like they were escorting and one man in a strange hat who called himself Slick implied that he and the princess were about to find private chambers together. Slick seemed far past inhibited and when the man began losing his balance and flailing about ungracefully, a sudden and soft breeze blew through to help right his balance. [color=1BC617][i]Interesting.[/i][/color] He thought as he kept close attention to Slick. 

Then a scream cut the air as a man fell to a wagon from a rooftop and a female demihuman made an overly dramatic entrance followed by a speech clearly meant to stir up trouble. While her manipulation was obvious, everything she said only confirmed what he’d expected from King Kasai. The people of Roshmi should be infuriated, there was no way an alliance with dark elves would benefit them, this was just another instance of a king putting his own well-being before his people. One of the men escorting the young demihuman princess spoke up, a renowned champion fighter named Kuroi, in an attempt to settle the crowd. As Kuroi spoke Orias felt a very subtle push against his emotions, a calming feeling that intruded from an outside force. [color=1BC617][i]Interesting.[/i][/color] He found himself thinking again. 

The earlier breeze, that he suspected Slick of causing, was unexpected but not outside of possibility. The broadcast last night had mentioned humans, and if anyone was capable of summoning them back to Avalia it was Rose. His mask hid a smile as he remembered just how exceptionally talented his sister was with magic. The other force he felt, the one capable of manipulating emotions, was not a type of magic he had felt before. Had it come from Kuroi? That seemed a very unlikely power for the demihuman to have. A demon perhaps, they were said to have unfathomable powers, but this too seemed an unlikely explanation. Surely a demon would want to sway a crowd towards violence and not calm them. 

His thoughts on the strange magic ended as Princess Mika spoke, confirming what the feline demihuman had said. He felt a pang of empathy as the young woman spoke of her father who cared so little for his children. It seemed Biren’s did not have the monopoly on royal family dysfunction and he could only wish the young princess the best in her efforts. She would face a hard road, more daunting than his own path had been, to salvage a family name ruined by her own father, and to prove herself worthy of her title in the eyes of her people. He hoped she ran into his sisters, he had a feeling they’d like her. 

[color=1BC617]“Did you think that would actually work?”[/color] He asked as he glanced at Nabarra. [color=1BC617]“Besides this group seems far more interested in starting bar fights and sneaking off for a quick dalliance than fighting a war.”[/color] He said as he glanced at Slick and Mika. Whatever the group they had just encountered was truly up to, it seemed likely that it involved both a human and a journey to the Sun Elf Kingdom, which meant it likely involved his sisters. The last thing Rose or Annya needed was a forgotten brother showing up to ruin their plans and he knew his own track record well enough to know he would be no help to them. On the other hand, if Roshmi was aligning with the dark elves then they didn’t need to go anywhere to look for a fight, it would come to them. [color=1BC617]“On the other hand, she seems to be looking for a fight.”[/color] He added as he nodded his head towards Yuka the outspoken demihuman.[/color]
