When the prince finally stopped speaking, Gaius was reluctant to speak to the others. It wasn't that he feared them, he doubted any one would try anything in the open, but they could laugh him off. Rather than be shrugged off, Gaius opted to sit back and observe the others. The Brujah had asked question regarding the werewolves, and was answered by the witch doctor in the room. Gaius wondered if everything the man said was drenched in testasterone. Lupine were in deed terrifying to think about, but he doubted that they would start anything unless provoked. If someone would provoke them, Gaius would make sure to not be in their line of sight when it happened. He shrugged it off, and continued watch the others. He wondered if he would be able to contribute anything. Or rather, he knew he could, but would anyone take him seriously enough to listen? He cursed Francis for persuading him into coming.

Gaius did his best to avoid the gaze of the most dangerous seeming of the group, particularly the female Malkovian and the Bruja. The Bruja seemed like he was would fight anything if he were given a reason to, and the Malkovian made him feel uneasy. Insanity was unpredictable, and that was something Gaius would rather not deal with. There really wasn't anybody Gaius was particularly excited about speaking to.

When Gaius saw the other Assimite in the room approach him, he panicked a bit in his mind. Why is he coming over here? Gaius had not formally introduced himself to the other Assimites in town, so he figured it was most likely on that matter. Had I done something wrong? Was there some sort of club house I forgot to sign up for? Gaius watched passively as the man got closer.When the man finally arrived and spoke, Gaius answered his question with a mute smile and a nod. He seemed friendly enough. Gaius wondered if he had managed to meet a potential ally this early in the group. "Are there any others of our clan in the city?" Gaius knew that the presence of Assamites was underdeveloped in Caramilla territory, but he figured that they would at least be familiar with each other. Or maybe there was some sort of pretext for Reza approaching him. If there was one, Gaius could not figure out what it could possibly be.

"Yes." He answered finally. "I have a mentor I share an apartment with in the city." Gaius could find no indication of dishonesty in the question. Since the man was already here, Gaius figured he should do his best to make nice. "The prince spoke of other supernaturals in the city. Apart from those who attended the meeting today, do you know of any?" He was genuinely curious, but mostly wanted continue the conversation.

Should I wait for the rest to alter their posts or just go? Regardless, I'll probably post tomorrow.

[High-Casual]White Lotus: The New Breed.

Gaizen stared on as the girl who had sat in front him him went off near the tables of the masters, grabbed a bread roll, and began walking back with no spoon in her hand. Gai wondered if she had forgotten, and began to remind her before she had returned. When he saw the spoon fall off the table, he thought nothing of it at first, a simple accidental bump of the elbow. When he saw it float over Tachi's head, his eyes widened a bit. There was no way any one, let alone a bending master in front of their peers, would allow that to slide. Hell would have to be payed, and this was confirmed for Gai when she got up. The two exchanged a few quips before the the spoon fell onto the young woman's head with a load crack, causing guy to cringe a bit. Gai was surprised when she returned and handed him the spoon, acting as if it hadn't happened, but figured it would be best to not question it.

He took a sip of the soup gratefully, and realized that it indeed had begun to get cold. He noticed the woman staring expectantly, and complied by holding the bowl out with both hands. A few seconds passed before steam began to rise, and Gai again began eating. He began to thank her, when the roof and walls suddenly collapsed to a barrage of armed men pouring down on them. The collapse caused a pillar to separate the two groups who had been eating, but Gai didn't bother to look over at their mentors. He was sure that they would be fine, and if they weren't, then it wouldn't matter. The rest of them would fall as well. He saw Lemur jet away from them, but he couldn't figure out why. Was she planned to take them on alone? Go around and flank them? Based on how excitable she was, he didn't doubt it. When he saw her running back he knew she was in trouble, especially when, despite her impressive dodges, she was caught out and slammed into a wall.

Gai himself was a bit flabbergasted when he saw the hoard pour in. How had they managed to invade the White Lotus so thoroughly? He figured that it didn't matter at this point, but was curious non the less. Gai began stepping back as warriors approached him, separated himself from the others, moving towards the pillars. Three men went after him, and Gai instinctively unwrapped the bow from his back, drew back an arrow, and shot one in the leg. He realized that they wouldn't be able to take them all out that way when two more replaced him. Gai threw his bow to the side and swept his foot towards the men, sending off a wave of flame. He didn't stick around long enough to see who had taken the blunt of the attack, and ran off to get in between Lemur and the warriors who where now closing in on her, figuring it would be a pain to lose the one person he managed to speak to so far.

The man with the mace who had halted Lemurs evasive maneuvers to begin with swiped at Gai. Gai shifted his body in an attempt to dodge the blow, but a spike jotting out from the mans weapon grazed his cheek. Gai blasted the man away with a bolt of flame. He saw others begin to close in on the pair, and prepared to hold them back to allow the woman to regain her breath. Gai glanced back to see her still on the ground. "Lemur, help me! There's no end to these guys." Rather then trying to blast the oncoming men away, Gai swiped his elbows back and forth, causing thin slices of intense flame to form in between them and the men, swinging back and forth like pendulums. He could only hope that she would be able to get up before the invaders reached them.
