Message: <blockquote data-quote="Catulle" data-source="post: 975401" data-attributes="member: 9942">The WarrensWednesday 11th December, 2003A nod from the figure at the head of the table brought the tips of those sweeping ears into the light , casting a grotesque shadow on the mountain of intelligence spread across the wood and plastic surface."But of course, we all do...""Not yet (yet). Trust has to be earned first (first)."A clumsy silence lurched back to the room. The electric buzz became uncomfortably lound in a matter of moments. The shuffling this time came from the shadows to one side of the room. The click of another latch being lifted and the grind of stone on stone echoed through the chamber."We should tell her some of what is known. She is one of us, now." The dry whisper came from the other side from the previous noise. "Since he is in hiding, we are her family."The twist of the spine that the chair-creature gave might have been equal parts shrug and spasm."As you will, Mulligan. On your own 'ead and 'ers if she betrays us. I'll not see us exiled back down 'ere again, whoever grabs the throne..."The touch, coming out of the darkness, took Tess quite by surprise in how gentle it was against her heavy coat. If she had not anticipated the contact, she would have scarce felt it. This time, the hoarse voice was almost to her ear though the room didn't betray the speaker's presence."Come, childe. I can explain on the way. We'll go now, the better to talk." The hand exerted a little pressure, seering her into the total darkness where she could only assume the door lay, and twin pinpricks of red light shone beside her.</blockquote>
