A Secure Meeting [Lucien/invite]

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

And another message would be sent out to lucien, marked specifically for his eyes only.

Lucien,

It would appear that i am in need of your help, and also maybe a debriefing of what has happened, if you can, come to these coordinates at high noon tomorrow, where we can meet.

Sidervib WarHazzard

Sider sent off the message and began on his way to the rendevous.

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien was in the Crow's nest when he received a note.

Opening it up and reading it, he sighed. The first thing out of his mouth was, "No. No!"

And then people started to look. So, Lucien would walk away, and he was about to throw the note in the trash bin, when he remembered the words of his First...

"It's not so much about being the best 'Crow' than being a good person in general. Get to know your comrades. Build their trust and opinion of you with honesty and dedication. Upholdiing these principles with civilians and, if you can, in combat. What you do, though, is ultimately up to you."

"...."

Lucien folded the note into quadrants, put it neatly in his pocket, and walked out of the nest.

***

Lucien was invisible again.

Staring at Sidervib.

He had gotten there twenty minutes early, and seeing as it was exactly five seconds to noon, he figured it was almost time to reveal himself.

Five...

Lucien was becoming annoyed at Sidervib.

Four...

In fact, with the way he was going about his business, Sider was going to lose every connection he had.

Three...

What's more, the way he treated the First...

Two...

There was little patience left for this man.

One.

Lucien appeared.

"Sidervib, what is it you need?" Lucien said, with a sliver's worth of a smile on his face.

"AH!!!" Sider yelled as the fell over backward onto the ground. "Goddamnit lucien!!! Seriously?! How the hell are you doing that?!?!?!"

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien tried REALLY hard not to smile and laugh. Yes, I think this should be a thing.

"Nevermind that. What do you need?" Lucien would ask, putting an emphasis of slight annoyance on the fact that it was 'needed'. He would shift his weight to one side, in a relaxed posture.

Sider sat for a moment thinking, then lifted himself back up.

"I thought we should talk about what happened in crow territory, and there's a few other matters i would also like to discuss" Sider said calmly, trying his BEST to calm himself.

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien could tell he was unnerved. It was quite tempting, the though of going invisible again and just walking away...

"If you called me here, I'm assuming you have something of importance to say. I'm here to listen, mostly."

And, if there was something that couldn't have been said by letter... Sider had better say it first.

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

"You know all of what happened in corw territory, and you know what delilah had sent me off to do right? well i have just come back from receiving a letter from Mathew, The Earth Dragon and ... well... its not good, in order to gain his favor i must secure two items, a lock of delilah's hair, and an Unfettered eyepatch? not sure about the eyepatch or what an unfettered it, but i know the hair will be hard to get...what i want to ask more importantly was, Do you support me joining the crows? I mean... we've been through quite a bit together but for the most part we really dont know each other that well, and plus i like seeing people in person, its a hell of a lot better than those damned messenger hawks."

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien's eyes got wider.

"The Earth Dragon sent you... To get a lock of the First's hair... and "Unfettered"'s eyepatch?!?!?!"

His voice got kind of shrieky near the end there. His stare was intentful. And then he started laughing. Right in Sidervib's face. It was not one of his more elegant moments.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....... ahem... Good luck. As for me supporting you joining the Crows.." He paused to regain his composure.

"At one time, I might have wanted you as a comrade, as a teammate. I might have brought you to my commander and given a shining recommendation. But, that time is not now. As it stands, my First has taken strong insult to you, and I've sworn my life to her and my Zero...."

He paused again, this time to keep from choking up.

"So, I will stand with her on her decisions. Which means I will not help you accomplish your insane tasks, but if you succeed, and eventually, after everything, become a Crow, and my brother, I will welcome you with open arms."

And with that, he reached out his hand to shake Sidervib's.

"Was there anything else?"

[Malcomb Warhazzard]

Sider shook lucien's hand with a nod.

"Yes actually, i had one more question, me getting a lock of delilah's hair requires me to go into crow territory with the intent of taking a sharp object near your first, know that i plan on doing so as to not harm her in the least, seeing as how one day i want her to be my first as well. Will you try and stop me, or try to get in my way at all? Lastly, know that your answer is on neutral grounds, and as such your answer will not start any sort of confrontation on these grounds."

[Lucien DeChain]

Lucien smiled as he let go of Sidervib's hand.

"I won't stop you, no. It would be wrong of me to actively disable you from completing your task."

He took two steps back.

"But, you should remember well that you are not allowed set foot in Crow lands. If you are caught inside, you will be shot on sight. If I see you therein, I will make sure you leave immediately. Also," He smirked. "I'm not the one you should be worried about. Not by a long shot."

And with that, he turned invisible. Staying perfectly still for a full five minutes, or until Sidervib was gone, he would eventually slink away slowly, giving no position away with the hopefully unseen ripples in the air.

And he would go, to prepare.
