Malvoisin's War of the Burning Sky - IC Thread

Xander casts a cold look at the woman, obviously displeased at being described as a "scallywag" or "misfit." Although several scathing replies immediatly jump to mind, he uncharacteristically keeps his mouth shut.

ooc: Hopefully you don't mind that I am a little early, even for being late...:)

Earlier

The request was half question and half command, but either way granted Markus a chance to get out of Gate Pass and possibly to the North to join with the others. He had been reduced to basic manual labor, with the occasional request for Telchur's gifts when someone in the Resistance needed assistance more than they needed pride. Telchur's gifts were not for the weak and the chilling touch that lingered with those who received his gifts often kept them from asking more than once.

When the time had come for him to depart for the meeting, Markus had allowed himself to be lost in the glory of the Winter that was around them. His senses felt alive and he knew that this was Telchur's time, however fleeting the winter might be, and did not realize his one quick loop through the neighborhood had turned into three and he was now late.

Now

Looking at the others in the room Markus thought the sullen faced men in furs seemed familiar, but was unsure if it was simply a matter of most furred men looking alike to him, or if he had truly seen them before.

At the white haired woman's comments on the times being troubled, Markus smirked inside his mug. If the people only knew the strength of the Brotherhood, they would truly think dark times were upon them. For now though, he would listen and learn and make sure that the Resistance continued to help the cause.
 

"Do you not have any pride in the Resistance, Torrent, my sister-in-arms? I know not of these others, though all of them except maybe the shifty hiding guy in the shadows seem stalwart enough, but surely you have heard of me, a fellow member of the Resistance?"
 

"You aren't as popular as you think. I have been working with them for six months now and this is the first I have seen of you."

Draining the last of his beer, Markus set the mug down and shrugged his shoulders at the others.

"And likewise. But the difference is that I have heard of you. Or at least, I believe I have. Are you the one they talk about, the man who holds the secrets to the primal forces of the cold? If so, I would think that you are due more respect here as well. Considering the weather outside, I have a strong respect for your patron right about now."
 

"I will freely admit that this is my first night in service to this cause. But, now that I am here, I am willing to listen and to judge later. Pre-judgments and accusations serve us little."
 

Aridha regards Torrent neutrally, not sure if she'd just been insulted or not. The -words- had been insults, but the tone they'd been spoken with, and Torrent's body language, suggested something different.

Cursed humans! Did they never just say what they meant?!

"What aid would you ask of us?" Ari asks, phrasing the question deliberately to remind her that she was asking the favor here.

"Telchur's might is no secret to be kept by anyone. Many pay lip service when he looks at them, but forget quickly when he looks away. We do not forget though, he has made sure of it."

Raising his maimed left hand, Markus lets them all see it before lowering it back to bar.

"Telchur knows my strength and my place. That is enough for me."
 

Taren remained off to the side through most of the introduction, though when his reliability was called into question he defended himself, "It didn't theem prudent to thtand in the open arguing with a thign like that hanging on the door. You were all a little too obviouth for my tathte." Even when speaking though he hung back, letting the others gather towards the centre of the otherwise empty bar. He felt very uncomfortable with only one obvious exit from the building.
 

Glancing around at all the talk, Xander adds to Aridha's comments, a bit anxious to get underway. "Indeed. 'Tis not the time for idle chatter. Too much hangs in the balance. We should get about our business."
