[i][color=fff79a]"I don't believe I was talking to you Octavy~ But you're right in saying that neither of them are very smart. I thought I'd made that clear in my reminding them."[/color][/i] Athaliah laughed slightly, though there was rather a dark edge to it than humor. [i][color=fff79a]"And, as for how crowded it is here, I'd gladly leave if I were able to. If we knew that we'd all be free once Jorde here dies, who among us [u]wouldn't[/u] immediately try to walk the poor idiot off a cliff? It'd certainly be a service to us all if such a way to leave was found."[/color][/i]

Just after she finished her spoken thought she heard Jorde's reply to what she'd told him. [i][color=fff79a]"Yes yes, hello sweetie."[/color][/i] She'd been slightly distracted by Octavium, and so hadn't noticed that Jorde failed to do what Icathul had told him to. Good. She knew it probably wouldn't take, but it was worth a shot to try. [i][color=fff79a]What did I just tell you? It's a good thing you weren't able to read that book, it could have hurt us. Now, why don't you go do something relatively safe? like go stare at a wall for a few hours? Or maybe just go back to sleep?[/color][/i]
