"You can try" Bastille said quietly. "Yes...I took them..." she finished. She had, she didn't like it. But she had taken them.

"I found Leon didn't I?"
All he would say on that matter. He wasn't worried about finding someone.
"And good. Then we can leave the good Doctor in Europe."

Bastille grumbled something under her breathe but looked over at him with a smirk.
"What are you going to do...about your minions?"

"You mean Rai and Kiyr? Kiyr will be punished with the dawn. She will live, but she won't be happy. Rai, I'm going to talk to him and decide what to do."

"If you mind me asking, What happened exactly? I thought dragons were honor bound and this all seems rather- awry...." She blinked, turning back to look down at her child. "You dont abandon your loyalties."

"That is the problem. She did not think. When I took her under she pledged her loyalty and life to me until I saw fit to release her. Apparently with honeyed words David won her trust and got her to agree to something that could clash with her oath to me."
His words turned sour as his face scowled. This time Evelyn would start to smile in her crib.
"I view it as a personal betrayal that she would agree to terms that would have her keeping secrets. I do not believe her intent was malicious, I think she was being stupid and to trusting. She let her guard down, but she owned up to it. So she will live."
He paused.
"This time."

"I wonder, when I was with David did you ever consider it a betrayal" She mused curiously- standing up slowly with the help of the crib and walking over to Mathew, standing in front of him.
"Still, and as much as I hate your ugly organization, does it not seem that she is completely unfit for your title? ...Although, interesting how perhaps...in the future...she could be one of the best of you? Does that bother you?" Bastille said adjusting the sheets around her shoulders.

"You were not a betrayal because you have not lied to me. You've been quite upfront with your intentions of harm, and your opinion. As for if the possibility of her becoming one of the best bothers me...?"
He shrugged.
"If she is, she will earn her way back in to good graces and in to her position. If she isn't the best, then she will either die as property."
It really was up to Kiyr.
"I really don't care which of them becomes the next Elder, if one even manages it at all. My interest is to use them how I can, and to see that if someone does become an elder, it's someone I would be proud to call an equal."

Bastille frowned. "Rai is your best candidate then." Turning back to her children she looked back down at them. "And us?"

He ignored her comment on Rai. He would see when they talked. Hopefully the boy had grown up a bit.
"What about us?"

Bastille snickered. "I remember a summer day were I was listening to one of my favorite symphonies and contemplating its winds vs. strings and I was accosted by a giant with the ego taller than himself. I was driven around in his truck, taken to a fight and enslaved by this same brutish giant..."
She'd let him continue.

He smiled and let out an almost wistful sigh.
"Our first date. How innocent we were back then."

She gave him a confused look. "date? i wouldn't call that a date." Beat. "What are we now? Still the giant and the knight? I wonder how I am not in that girls position"

"Do you want to be?"
Was all he would ask, raising his eyebrow. He wasn't really getting what she was getting at. Or what she was upset about. If anything. He was having a hard time getting an exact read on her with this one.

Bastille looked up. "Perhaps."
