Umbrix
Umbrix turned, eyeing the babbling Crompter. He approached the old mage, leaned forward, and held up one of his long, dark fingers up to his teeth. After a moment, Crompter ceased his volley. Umbrix stood upright again and looked to the table.
"I did not come here for you." He said, looking to Seadus. "I did not come here for your pursuits. I don't care if your clairvoyance saw my arrival long beforehand or if it sees my cooperation long after, I... came here for myself, and my House." He scanned the table a bit more and continued, "This gathering of yours? This project? It is very grandiose and very dangerous. I have no doubt in my mind it will bring about some unwanted attention from the mundane forces outside and, I'm not interested in becoming a soldier in an army."
He stepped away a few paces.
"You have all your own whim to play this game and I will not interfere with your efforts, but I came here of my own volition. Once I have what I desire, I am leaving."
He paused for a moment, and then turned and left for the door once again.
