Message: <blockquote data-quote="MummyKitty" data-source="post: 2674094" data-attributes="member: 36179">Titus listens to Lady Valeria, this time his face is dispassionate and shows no emotion, nor does he nod in agreement with her statements.  He listens to Gorgamesh as well, but impatiently.  He obviously is eager to respond to Lady Valeria. "I'm afraid you have misunderstood me completely, Lady Valeria, and your comment that my words disturb you cut me to the quick.  Teneo is to be independant, I never suggested otherwise. I spoke frankly about what I think will be best for Teneo, not Fenghold or Durnemar, but Teneo. I am ready to take an oath of total allegiance to this covenant, which could include strong wording that would sever my ties with Fengheld."I spoke of my qualifications for leader of this covenant, not as an inheritance, but in light of the facts as I see them. I welcome counter-point to any of my observations. I also did not suggest that the position of leader of this covenant would be absolute, but should be limited by time at the very least.  I wholeheartedly agree that a council for discussion, a senate if you will, would be an excellent addition to our covenant's charter."What disturbs me, Lady Valeria, is it seems I am to be penalized in your mind for my loyalty and respect to a figure, nay a master magus, who was influentual in my formative years as an apprentice.  Let us be honest with one another.  Until we are established, we will need allies wherever we can find them. By your words, I could infer that you have something against working with Fengheld, who provided the lion's share of material that allows us to establish this covenant.  Surely they will not abandon their investment in this place, and even as an independant covenant we can benefit from associating with them?"I sensed venom in your last words. What do you have against Fengheld?  We must work through this prejudice that you might have before we can unite in a new undertaking and build a truly independant covenant.  Tell me, does Durenmar have a vision for what this place should be?  Do you?"To Gorgamesh, he nods.  "While I am willing to take an oath to Teneo now, on this very spot, perhaps we must establish a charter that we all agree to first?"</blockquote>
