"You dont have to thank me for helping a friend" she smiles,.but seems tired. Hed notice that her hair is also a bit in disarray today
Atemos pulls out a brush. “Enethia.. what’s been bothering you?”
"... Nothing that comes close to whats going on with you."
“Don’t say that. No person’s problem is worse than anothers if it effects them the same way, even if you think the scale of it is larger.” Atemos gently brushed her hair. “Seriously E, what’s up?”
".... Ive.... Things with Valitya have me thinking a lot..."
“Thinking about what?”
"I... I feel weird... Wanting to go to this extent about... About a noble kid... And.... No matter how far we get, I... Dont think.I could ever finish helping her in good conscience... Putting her back with a noble family... That... That could change her.... She could become like them..."
He nodded. “Maybe… not all nobles are bad Enethia. You spoke to her adoptive mother, right? Nobles come in all different varieties. I mean, look at Szaren. He’s the coolest one I know. And the main issue with nobles is that they don’t know what it’s like to be weak or humble. So in her case, that’s not an issue. I would say this whole experience has been very humbling for her maybe.” Atemos smiled. “You made me spare a werewolf Enethia. The first time I’ve done that in 4 years. Of the thousands. You showed me that people can be different. Maybe her parents aren’t so bad either.”
"Atemos... Werewolves and nobles arent the same... Werewolves are a species. Species are different within the same population. Angels can fall... Fiends can rise... Nobles... Noble is more a.way someone is. Who they are more than the what. Szaren.. Hes different.... But... Her parents? I.... I cant imagine a reality where they could be... Political power always corrupts."

Soldaer sits up from his bed, although he isn't wearing his armor or weapons belt. "Pretty good. Up for that drink I promised you while we were in Sigil?"
"If youd like to... Its definitely a night I need a drink on"
Soldaer stands up, smiling. He moves and closes the door. "A drink between two friends. No need for anyone else. What're you in the mood for? I've got just about anything aside from that SYNA you have."
"Anything and everything.... I just need a distraction. A lots happened..."
Soldaer nods, a smile on his face. "So...Something strong." He starts moving over towards his cabinet, gesturing to the seats as he does. "Have a seat. I think I know just the drink."
She sits down, sighing, and clearly thinking
Soldaer returns a minute later, two different bottles and a pair of glasses in his hands. "Desmianian Fire Whiskey or Blue wolf vintage Feywine? Your choice E."
"Probably Blue Wolf"
Soldaer nods, setting the bottle with the red liquor on a table nearby. He walks over setting the two glasses on the table and deftly opening the bottle, pouring them each a glass.
She quickly begins to drink
Soldaer raises an eyebrow, but drinks his as well, albeit a bit slower.
"This is gonna be... A crazy next week or so"
"You're talking about the...mission we have to go on?"
"The mission... Atemos... Nox.... All of it"
"Yeah..." Soldaer takes a long sip of his glass.
E keeps drinking more "Thisll be my 3rd time killing a humanoid... 2nd time on purpose..."
Soldaer nods. "I...Have killed many, but always in defense of my people." He seems to become very saddened as he says this, and drains the rest of his glass, pouring himself a brand new one.
*FYI, this is about 160 proof alcohol or so, so very potent*
"The only person Ive killed in defense of is me and Kalnor. Though Joshua benefitted all when he got what he deserved. Time to add 1 person to the 'killed for' list"
Soldaer nods. "Indeed." He takes another drink of his glass. "You really do seem to care to Valitya, E. And no, I'm not teasing you. I'm honestly surprised and glad to see this side of you."
"Shes... A young girl. Shes scared. Her life seemingly chosen for her, with dangers before her, and pathways blocked. Honestly... She reminds me of myself not too long ago. I... Can feel a lot of what shes feeling. Things no one should have to feel. Especially without someone there to.support them"
"Very true. But now she has you, and she'll have a strong circle of support from the rest of us."
"Hopefully..... She.... She says she wants to return to her adopted family. I... Want to help her. To assist her in feeling better and safe, but... Im..... I cant put her in contact with them in a good conscience"
Soldaer puts a comforting hand on her shoulder. "E, yes you can. They've obviously raised her to be a kind and wonderful young girl. If the way their child, especially and adopted one, behaves isn't a way to see their character without meeting them, then nothing is." Soldaer's pale green eyes search E as he says this, almost seeming to pierce into her mind.
"But... We both know what they are... Theyre nobles... Liars... Valitya is kind. But... Theyre probably not. Most nobles are monstrous excuses for people. I... I cant let someone like Valitya go.to monsters like that..."
Soldaer sighs. "Not all nobles are bad, E. Some are, yes, because they let the power go to their head and corrupt them. But most aren't. Szaren isn't. Yazrin isn't. Heck, the entire Winged Alliance, the biggest allies of my people, all four nations are ruled by Royals, and every single one of them is a fair and just king or queen."
*Soldaer starts internally debating as to whether or not tell E that Caelum is a queen, and therefore Phantom will be a king in just a few days.*
"Theyre liars. All of them are corrupt devils. They may act like they arent, but its a ruse. A deadly, monstrous ruse."

"*sigh* I meant as in taking that choice of giving up demon lord, & before you ask yes I heard you talking."
“I assumed so. My companion is rather flightly, if you could excuse him. I’m Nessa by the way.” She extended a hand to shake, a gentle smile on her face.
Still facing away they put out their arm out to shake her hand "Gust." *if you don't need a description all you need to know is that they have a red blindfold over their eyes.*
“Are you blind? How can you see me?”
"Years of training plus being an air-genasi allows me to feel the air around me, & feel the bends it makes around things, kinda need to use that to 'see' as my eyes are just there."
“Interesting. How long have you been training exactky?”
"Well I'm no longer training but how long it took me to get this down was, about 5 to 6 years."
“And what do you know of demons?”
