The Beholder... (Elias/Open)

[Stigma Wyatt]

"Okay."

Rose squints.

She'll be watching.

[Avice Locke]

Thank goodness they are not going to fight her on this much longer.

"We have to meet up with someone else. If you'll follow me we will be going to the Earth Dragon's home to see someone named Barker. Also possibly the Blood Dragon if he has made it there as well." she turned to head that way. "I am telling you because obviously we don't trust each other and honestly I like it that way but this is what I know and I dislike surprises so I dont expect you'd appreciate vague answers."

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Hm? Why do you think I don't trust you?"

Elias smiles broadly.

"I completely trust you. Even if you're bringing me to someone's house who I've decided I'm going to kill. Maybe."

[Stigma Wyatt]

"I don't trust her."

Rose ain't even gonna fib.

[Avice Locke]

"She's smart... I'm brainwashed." Avice pointed to her temple and drove a nail to indent the skin a bit just to emphasize her point

"Suppose you gave that impression. What reason have I given you to trust me?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Let's call it a hunch."

More like he has something of an idea of how Leon works. Since he's already heard how Leon disappeared from that general, this just made sense.

"It's not like you like Dragons. You've been pretty up front about that."

[Stigma Wyatt]

"Don't lead Elias into a t-trap or you'll regret it." Rose huffs. Brainwashed and they were still gonna go with her? Geez. Why wouldn't she have brought that up earlier? That's so TRICKY!!

[Avice Locke]

"Aye the Elder Dragon's are too powerful to remember they are still human." she turned to Rose. "If it ends up being a trap feel free to kill me." she held her hands out welcoming Rose for it.

But truthfully if this was alla lie Nd. Trap she wouldn't ever be able to trust her sanity again that all she was working towards was because someone told her to do it and fooled not only herself but others. She'd rather die.

She would lead them to Matthew's house as instructed. Where she would hope to find Barker. She gave the door a solid knocking sensing Qi on the inside. She looked around seeing her old partners front steps. Wondering what he looked like when there was a family here waiting for him.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"I plan on reminding them."

Elias chuckles, following along. He gestures for Rose to follow as well.

Even if he wasn't worried, he preferred having her there regardless.

Once they get to the house, Elias looks around, a bored expression on his face.

"What a dump. Here I thought I lived in a shithole."

[Stigma Wyatt]

While Rose doesn't say anything about the invitation to kill Avice if she screwed them, mostly because Rose didn't really want to kill anyone....for some reason she felt like she could make an exception in this case.

At any rate, she follows quietly, sticking pretty close to Elias. More so than usual if you can imagine.

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai would be the one to answer the door.

"Ah! Avice, you made it."

He would scan the over the two others standing there.

"And I assume of these two is Elias."

Judging based on looks alone, he figured the male was Leon's apprentice, the girl didn't look like Leon's type.

"Well come one in. It's going to be a minute. Reisuke and Barker are discussing something in private for the time being. They should join us shortly."

Rai would start to turn then stop and turn back to face the group.

"Oh, and please take off your shoes before coming inside. If any of you track dirt in here, Barker will throw a fit, and I REALLY don't feel like dealing with that mess today."

Rai would shake his head as he made his way back into the community area where there was a small variety of seating options. Rai himself would take the chair that he had always used every time he came to visit Mathew.

[Avice Locke]

"It suits him..." she said mostly to her self and not really in reply to Elias's deduction to the place. Truth looking at it made her feel at odds. Being and Orphan and hearing that same sappy story. She wouldn't repeat it like some broken record.

Speaking of defensive jealousy. She eyed Rose from behind Elias and wondered something. "If you are worried I'll take away your boyfriend or hurt him... You shouldn't be, I am pregnant and all, so kind if unavailable. Also unwilling to be put in terrible danger." she didnt care who knew here. It was Prota she wanted to hide it from. If it helped Rose to stop burning holes in Avice with her eyes all the merrier.

Rai opened the door and she would do as instructed. "Did your end of things go well?"

[Zack Asiv]

Reisuke and Barker would enter the room, Barker holding a baby holding a bottle.

"Well, this is quite the large group."

Reisuke comments and Barker goes to sit down and help the baby drink it's bottle.

"Alright, well it's time to explain the process. Barker and myself, could not figure out why Leon wished to involve him, so it's up to him to spill those beans when we bring him out."

He'd let that sink in.

"As far as I can tell, he wants Raikotsu to open a portal with his eye using the bandages as a focus. Avice, this will require a massive amount of energy that you and I can provide Raikotsu with. The problem with this method is we won;t know where in the spirit realm it will pop up, so anything might get out while Leon escapes. That leaves his apprentice, Elias here to kill anything that comes out that isn't him."

He put the plan out there.

"Thats the way I see it anyways. Suggestions, Thoughts, Concerns?"

[Stigma Wyatt]

"I see..." is all Avice gets.

She can't trick her. Being pregnant doesn't make you unavailable. She could still try something. Why wouldn't you want to take advantage of a King.

Hussie...

She takes off her shoes and all that jazz, remaining silent. If Elias has to to all the HARD WORK, then she'll just have to help him!

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias doesn’t take his shoes off.

All in all, the explanation seems solid. In fact, it also seems rather simple, which is why it’s like to work.

Elias shrugs.

“Fine. I can murder anything that comes through. But then I have some questions.”
