[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3693429, member: 31780"] Sitting on the stuffed chair beside the fireplace Ijazim pours himself, and only himself, a glass of brandy. Sipping the fine liquor he listens to the agonizingly slow deliberations of his companions, smirking slightly. Funny, he thinks to himself, how beings of such power, such paragons of wisdom and wit, one of them even making spurious claims to godhood, all had to be led by the hand like children. Not that their thoughts lacked merit, certainly he too would have to rest and prepare. Panarchus could not be allowed to humiliate him again. The seeker was a lesser concern, at least they would have him outnumbered, but against Panarchus he would stand alone and he was well aware he was the weaker of the two. Perhaps it would be better to proceed by himself, without having to drag such dangerous luggage around. And yet a group offered some protection, if only by false deterrence, and sometimes it was preferrable to keep your enemies close.
