[i] A king who has grown hungry for more power.... interesting [/i] Herunes has seen many people destroyed by their un-sated thirst of power and control. On the very few occasions, even Herunes finds himself compelled to follow such seductive desires. 

Herunes places the book to the side keeping it open and reads over the paper. He looks around him analysing those in the room, he felt as he may as well pay them some modest attention if he is to be working with them. Perhaps find an ally among them... though that was stretching it. 'This gathering of people must mean it is quite a serious task indeed. And you say more are to arrive?' He leans back on his chair and chuckles 'Has the order gotten so desperate that they need such a collection of minds working together?'

Herunes ignored the concept of negotiate or kill. He understood that very well and had little caring for either outcome, he was here for the enjoyment of the events. The souls rewarded being only the bonus... 

In a sudden strike of interest he turns to the young templar whom name he doesn't know, his young yet almost expressionless look is quite amusing... 'What's the matter templar, don't you care to show at least a little bit of emotion to us all? Trying to make yourself seem unbreakable...' Herunes grins 'Only leaves yourself with no-one to trust you...' Trust is something that not many people share for Herunes. He has preferred it that way as well... He then slides out a book mark from one of his pockets and slides it on the book and closes it gently, followed be putting the book back into his coat. 'Perhaps we should all get to know one another... it may well prove useful for when we...' He chuckles 'Work together.'
