She'd take a back seat watching the exams go underway for Cabal's advancement. Suppose with as many of their squads that joined they had to dwindle their numbers eventually. She felt a familiar Qi approach her and it was fine she grew curious about something anyway. The particular battle she watched held that of the little horned thing and the bruiser, Cael, she met that day with Blaze's machine.
"I know you said you'd mention it to me when it became relevant but, from that girl you danced the night with while I was investigating, what did it pertain too? What did you find that made her a point of interest to you?"
Since she guess he wouldn't give her a straight answer she just asked for his track of mind. Wondering if he thought about the exams, his duty with Prota, or something else.

"I've tasted that spear of light before. It was not from her."
Arcenus smirked thinking about it. Watching the battle to take place near Avice.
"The information I got from her was pertaining to who she has been in contact with recently."

"And that interested you?" she asked looking at him with a brow arched. "So it had nothing to do with the exam I assume." Which meant it dealt with Prota.
"So they would be apart of your big end game goal?" she nodded looking back at the competition. Oh how her eyes turned dark. She remembered her fight with Blaze and her body boiled hearing his words echo in her mind.
"More and more I think I'll enjoy the thought of becoming perfect. Even if she is even but a taste of what power and pride lookes like... I'll become a possitively grotesque monster to even make a Dragon quake."
Right now she was deep in her brainwashed influence as she should be but one thing wouldn't change. She contemplated staying with Prota if they would meet their end of the bargan for this. It was originally in her mind to leave and be on the run as soon as she was free of these shackles. But if there was a plan unfolding she wondered what results it would yeild.

Arcenus would lean forward and poke Avice in the head with his index and middle finger.
"Perfect is one thing. A mind of your own is another. Someone else's perfect isn't your perfect."
He'd lean back shrugging with a sigh.
"With my nose I could smell a scent... A demonic scent... Stained with more blood than you can imagine. Someone that innocent, friendly... Powerful has even higher friends. That interests me."

She flinched when he poked her face and even went to swat it away if he hadn't removed it first. It was rich him saying about her being in her right mind anf thinking for herself. It was he and Prota who put her in this mess.
Still her own kind of perfect... What would that be?
"Hm... So friends in high places. So how high are we talking about?" she was asking where he would be heading and if he planned to bringing her with him.

"The Gods. A small faction apparently. From there if I don't smell the same blood I'll back track her some more till I do. Something tells me, this person is important and at least on par with Strike. That makes them a powerful ally."

"On par with Strike?" she raised an eye brow. "You'll want this mystery God to join Prota's ranks? Wouldn't any God do if their are so many. Why not pass flyers saying we are recruiting?" was she confirming or would he need to clarify.
She was slightly confused and then again. She could take what he said a couple of ways. From the begining here she might could feel a bit of him not talkin about prota. She wondered if it was not just her.

"we will see. If it works out we can find our perfection."
Arcenus would grin wide at the thought throwing his left ankle onto his right knee to rest as he stretched his arms across the two seats at his sides.

And she felt that was the limit to how deep she will be able to pry.
She leaned back and slouched in her chair folding her arms over. "What do you imagine your perfection to be like?" she honestly still couldn't fathom the idea of perfection or what it would look or feel like. Arkenus might have thought about it long enough to at least have his own idea of what it is.

Arcenus eye brows lowered as his forehead wrinkled at the thought. Putting his leg down and leaning forward a bit bringing his right hand in front of him.
"A body that won't break, or tremble at the sight of power. A mind that is mine and mine alone. And power unrivaled so I can stand at the top of the mountain."

"Hmph... Not unlike the dragon's who forget they are still human and can bleed just like the rest of us." she spouted venom at the thought of the elder dragons.
...A mind that is mine and mine alone...
Not unlike herself who is also under Prota's Brainwashing. She didn't know how to approach that or if it was a trap. If he was onto her and knew she might have found away to excape Prota's influence. He could. Be baiting her or it could be a cry for help.
She'll need to tread carefully. "After my optimization even I'll admit... It was hard to tell what is real. I feel there was a me stuck in a small glass bottle and that me and this me have switched places. That me, from before I woke... Hates this. I've done my best to not let it deter me so far." she shrugged. "In time I hope it will fall into place."

"Cause the Dragons are the only ones allowed to seek power? Ambition drives the world forward."
He clenched his hand into a tighter fist.
"I've stood against something stronger than a Dragon."
His fist trembled seemingly running down his spine in an involuntary shudder.
"I've seen true power, felt it run through me just standing near it."
He gripped his shaking fist with his other hand and stopped it.
"But I also saw it bleed."
He would look at Avice. A grin slowly creeping back onto his face.
"It always falls in line in the end. But, nothing is impossible. Keep an eye out for emergency glass."

"Men that are stronger than a dragon.." she arched a brow. "There is a such thing?" the thought alone terrified her. But more so she saw how it terrified him. In all her years of traveling and hearing stories anything more than a dragon ws just a fairy tale or a horror story depending on who you told it too.
He gained his composure and spoke something that made little sense. But on a hunch she would keep that bit in mind for the future.

"That's right. You haven't met our leader yet. Leader of the Protan Empire, John Strike."
Arcenus would lean back again with a small shake of his head.
"I've been on the testing field with him. Everytime a new augment gets perfected he insists on having it optimized on him. Then he tests it. You will likely see it one day too."
He'd sniff in hard and grunt at the thought.

"Strike?" she was even more confused now. She knew of strike but some how she had doubts he was beyond the level of Dragon. Dragons were stronger than Gods even. She couldn't believe what he just told her.
"If what you say is true... I do not believe a mere god will have the answer." it just doesn't feel like it would be enough.
