Perses paused, folding the map and letting out a sigh. It had been weeks since Strike sent men at them. And for weeks, he guarded the silent territory. Nobody could be heard within...at least, so far as speaking with them went. He didn't care. King Hyperion had ordered them to stay and guard.
Now, he was ordering them back.
The tents were coming down, the armory was being sealed...and they would be leading the crows to fend for themselves. Perses was wearing his usual armor, walking among the men toward the gate...to nail a message on the door of the Crows.
'Go with the sun, die on your feet. We wish you well.'
And that...would be that.

Leon had been with the Titans shifting his men into patrols and other small missions. However it seemed like the Titans had finally decided to abandon the crows so Leon decided at least to go talk to Perses once more to figure out what his people should be doing durring the trip. And to fill the guy in on his own intel he recently received.
"Perses you got a minute to talk?"

Perses glanced over at Leon and cracked a grin.
"Yeah, lets take a walk. I'm about to give our notice to the Crows."
He would continue on, letting Leon walk by his side.
"What can I do for you?"

"Nothing in particuler just some questions and a report of sorts."
Leon would walk with Perses. He was perturbed by the Crows silence over the last few weeks.
"On the trip back anything specific you would like my men and I to do, or just stay alert?"

Perses grinned.
"Actually, no. See, I've learned a few things about you."
They reached the gate in short order, to which Perses nailed the notice.
"Your rash, and hot headed...but you guys can fight. So, I'm gonna put you and your team in the front guard. I'd like you to be with me and the Titan elite to plow our way south."
He would furrow his brow as he walked.
"What reports?"

"My Dragon allies have informed me of a massive offensive against those behind the wall. Lead by Hyperion. I don't know if you know, I'm just confirming information still. My reports however are on Strike's recent movements. I will also need some leave for about two hours to seek out Gaia to confirm a few things."
A bit more than he wished to drop at once, but he couldn't stop himself at that point. Leon however would wait to see what peeked Perses interest most for now.
Leon however enjoyed the idea of being part of the plow team. His men could use the battle experience.

Perses nodded.
"I knew about Hyperion...but Strikes movements have been more than a little confusing to us. Hasn't been even a skirmish in weeks. The men are ansy."
He nodded.
"You got the leave. Let me know what you find out."

"I will have Chris bring you our scout reports on their movements while I am away."
Which would arrive shortly after Leon departed for the wall. Chris would walk in with some paper rolls and would explain the contents.
"Strike has about ten atmospheric flouting stations set up over the northern american continent. However he has been pulling all non essential personal from most areas of usual conflict. Not only that, but most of the atmospheric stations are moving to a central location as well. Arizona. We are not being attacked, because they don't have the forces stationed here to do so. There is something going down in Arizona."

Perses looked over the information, scowling. He was not pleased by this.
"These stations- what are their function? Is he planning to build a supership with them, or some kind of weapon?"
****************************************
The wall would greet Leon as it always did.
Silently.

Chris would scratch his chin.
"Best I could tell they do basic training and augmentations. But the stations he moved are the housings for his elite soldiers. Highest class and strongest of his augments. The stations aren't all that special its what's going on, on the ground that interests Leon. Neither he or I can see with our Seikatsugan's."
********************************
As he assumed it would. So Leon would approach the wall stopping about eight feet away.
He would make a gesture of respect he had learned from his time with the Titans, before speaking.
"Gaia, I humbly request an audience. No foul mouth, no violance, simple questions and I will leave you be."

Perses nodded.
"Sounds like we should march east, instead of south."
He chewed his lip a moment. We...need to consolidate ourselves at the wall. If we take back our territory, there are some Collosal-era weapons and far more men we could use. Three thousand, no matter how big, will not be enough to break Strikes defenses."
He scratched his cheek.
"How long until Strikes men arrive?"
********************************************
Gaia stepped out of the wall calmly, eyes on Leon from the start. She held a glass of wine in her hand and seemed bored.
"Okay. What?"
He would be able to tell she approved of his new behavior and words because 1: He wasn't dead. And 2: She was speaking to him.

Chris would nod at the comment.
"For all the troops that we can tell he's been moving, two, maybe three more days."
*************************************
Leon had been wondering of what to say to Gaia to figure out who's side she was on without prying ears catching wind of it. So he decided to recount.
"How about a date? Some food, some drink and a quiet place to talk?"
Leon sounded non-chalant, but his eyes and body language barely showed any of true statements until the mention of a quiet place to talk. His eyes would be intense at that point, but to anyone listening it would just sound like Leon banter.
He hoped she'd catch the change in his over all mannerisms to look for the code.

Gaia stared at him, then tilted her head.
"What?"
She seemed confused at first, then it seemed to dawn on her. She rolled her eyes and walked forward, grabbing him by the scruff of the shirt and sinking into the ground in less than a second.
They would pop out in North Dakota five minutes later, in the middle of nowhere.
"Hows this for a date? You wanna get naked first or what?"
Now she was just being snarky. She understood what he had meant, obviously, and was impressed he possessed the level of intelligence needed to concoct any sort of plan. So far, he had been blindsiding her with...well. Insanity.

"Mmm next time, but for now. I count myself amongst the light. I've allied myself with Perses and have been told you also follow Hyperion. Is this true?"
Leon had a series of small yet important personal confirmations before the big questions.

Her eyes narrowed.
"Who in their right might would go and tell you something like that?"
She obviously didn't trust him.
