Karram had enjoyed the ride to the bunker. It was the first peaceful experience he'd had since joining this band of supernaturals. But it ended prematurely once they arrived. He and Gray dragged their vampire prisoner inside and Beth tied her to a chair. Then she was stored away for safe keeping, with Gray hungrily wanting to stand guard. However, as Karram returned to the main room, he noted the uncomfortable tension in the air and heard talk of needed leadership. And of course he agreed, but the question was more so who it should be to lead them. Mention of the fairy court made Karram's elongated ears perk up. And before he could speak on the matter, the fairy queen was dismissed as distrustful... this made Karram grit his teeth a bit, but he quelled his desire to shout down her throat. Despite his personal history and the misconception towards faerie loyalty, Karram and his people were a very tightly knit group and this went doubly for the Faerie Queen. A couple subtle breaths and Karram was able to return to a state of diplomacy. It was at this time that several name were thrown into the pot, so to speak.
Karram pondered the options carefully. Tony was the initial person to gather them all up, and he was a born leader. But like he said, he had moments in which his mental state could be easily compromised. And Flint... well, Flint was an intelligent sorcerer but his general laze and attitude would make for an unfit leader overall. And his near-drunken monologue just proved the point further. But then Rikive was nominated by Autumn. Karram's brow lifted slightly at the thought; she had just dissed his Queen, but her battle prowess, experience and courage were definitely qualities that fit the bill.
"I vote Rikive. She has a good balance of qualities that make her as perfect a candidate as we're going to get in this team. And obviously she doesn't have to go it alone; she can make the decisions and organize and command our 'ranks', but delegate duties she cannot fulfill to those in the group who better fit the scenario. And for the record," he darted a stern look at Rikive, "My Queen is not untrustworthy."
Karram felt better getting that last part off his chest. It may have been an awkward summation to make after his more than diplomatic speech on behalf of the very person that mentioned his queen, but he shrugged off the thought and turned to check on the vampire once more. His demeanor had once again changed back to carefree. He waved back at the group as he headed for the vamp, "But obviously I'm not the only vote that counts."
