Tiko joins in the breakfast and tries to meet the many people in the room. She is well-versed in making people feel wanted and comfortable. She finally makes her way to where Janiven is sitting and sits down next to her. "You seem worried now. What's happened?"

Janiven smiles at the Half-Elf. "I'm afraid Morosino just brought us some devastating news that the Hellknights have finally secured control over Arael, the bureaucratic complications of what jurisdiction the prisoner fell into finally having been resolved in the Order of the Rack’s favor. The Hellknights are preparing to move Arael from the city jail to Citadel Rivad, the order’s stronghold outside the city walls. Once he’s there, he’s as good as lost. Without Arael, the rebel group is likely to fall apart—worse, I'm afraid that the Hellknights will use magic or other extreme interrogation methods once they get him into their custody in the citadel, using them to extract the identities of all the Children of Westcrown."

[sblock=OOC] Remember Arael is a half-elf, a devotee of Iomedae who came upon Janiven at a low point in her life and offered her a long-term position at his side as a consultant and advisor. Arael had grand plans to bring honor and tradition back to Cheliax, and particularly to Westcrown. As a worshiper of Iomedae, he has long regretted how Cheliax fell from Aroden’s teachings to the infernal, and wants nothing more than to see a reversal of that fate, but with Aroden’s inheritor Iomedae installed as the city’s guardian and patron deity instead. Janiven is his "second-in-command"

"Brave words, but easier said than done. Our choices are few." Suzume pauses to consider, then begins ticking off points on a talon-ed fingers as he talks. "If we do nothing the rebellion will be set back greatly as Arael knows all. If try to hide and wait we may still lose, if we attack but fail we lose. The only way to win is to succeed." At this last he lowers his fingers and raises a fist. "I stand ready." He turns his hard black eyes on Janiven, "And you have a hard choice to make, if we make this fight, but cannot free him, would you see him martyred for the sake of the rest of the rebellion?"

"Be of good cheer, noble Suzume. We have not yet begun to come to the aid of Arael, so do not count our efforts as futile so quickly. You are right that we should have a plan in place for all eventualities, but recognize that the concerted efforts of us all working together may achieve a grander outcome than anticipated."
