[center][h1][b]Iraleth Kyrios[/b][/h1][/center] Chloe's victims recovered almost immediately after Iraleth had taken her out of commission? Good. It meant she'd been right to leave the girl alive. Moreover, it made Chloe's actions far less insane, knowing that the effects were temporary. There were enough students already with an immense lack of care for their peers, with abilities to match. The haughty bitch still may not have been a decent person by any means, but at least she hadn't crippled dozens for life. One concern off her shoulders. Iraleth sideeyed Ciara as she uttered her answer, wondering just what exactly the girl meant. She valued her truces? What, was she under the impression that she'd be balancing out the weaker faction? Judging by their performances today, the upper hand between factions would be decided by whom Leuvalt, and to a lesser degree, Bronsteel, chose to join, much to her chagrin. Hopefully, neither chose to join the Shield of Nero. Though the chance that Iraleth would get what she wanted was miniscule. In the meantime, it seemed the queue had finally gotten to them. All the fire had gone out of those two feuding girls, in just three minutes? Concerning. [b]"Unfortunate for you."[/b] She commented before the girl with the dagger left. [b]"Still, try not to kill each other, yes?"[/b] As the three entered the office, Iraleth took a seat, raising an eyebrow at the woman's symbol of title. An Undermage, just to manage a pack of teenage girls? Albeit, ones with immense magical ability or potential. In that light, it was more reasonable. Though Iraleth was under the assumption that most among this woman's rank would have thought the posting beneath them. After Ciara spoke, Iraleth chimed in with her piece, though the shadow witch had already gone over the important parts. [b]"We realize we're asking for forgiveness rather than permission, but at the very least, we're not threatening a fight. Unlike half of the line before us."[/b] The last bit was delivered dryly. [b]"Ciara and I would very much prefer having Hildegunde room with us, though. We did fight alongside each other in the auditorium earlier."[/b] That, and leaving Hildegunde to deal with Chloe would be tantamount to torture, if the bridge had been any indication.
