Anything was better then Savayna kicking a door open. Emiri grimaced as she recalled the moment killer, though once Jaakuna was ready, she nodded, following him to the elevator. It was funny, she never really had a good look at his tattoos. His hair usually covered his neck, so she never really looked around the area. She half thought he was copying her hairstyle, though she admitted she liked his better. Maybe blondes just looked better with their hair tied; she knew she envied Savayna's hairstyle. She took the chance to inspect the part of the tattoos closest to his head. As they went down, the brunette pondered why he got them. She would leave that question for another time, however.

The pair entered the dining room, and Emiri took a seat, looking around. Truth be told, she still wasn't used to having Savayna around. Quite frankly, the woman just looked so disinterested in everything. She turned her attention to the other blonde haired girl, who cleared her throat.

"[b]We have reached a crossroads, so to speak.[/b]" Nadeline addressed everyone at this point. "[b]Exodus--the next Esper--can be found at the Mosphoran Highwaste. I am sure of it, and it is the only one there. However, this is also a good opportunity to seek out the Gra Kiltas on Mt. Bur Omisace in regards to destroying the Dusk Shard...we must not let what happened to Jaakuna happen again. We were lucky Aloa was there when she was.[/b]" She stressed the importance of their safety. "[b]And so, it is best that we decide as a group--we are going to split up, and we need to decide who goes where. The only person who is set in stone is, of course, Emiri. She will go to the Highwaste...without her, the Esper cannot be obtained.[/b]"

Emiri listened carefully. In all honesty, she personally did not like the idea of splitting up, but she understood why it needed to be done. She remained quiet for now, as her position had already been decided.

The dark haired man stepped off the aircab, looking towards the large building. It seemed like long ago that he had been here. This time, he was not sure things would go smoothly, but he had to see. Reia was, apparently, busy with her own things: with war looming on the horizon, nearly everyone was on edge. The fact that she had no heir was also troubling the council greatly. Personally, he didn't understand how she could not have an heir with her many 'lovers' she would often have. The woman was quite loose, snatching any young man she deemed handsome. But that was none of his business, for now anyways: Lorenzo was the one the council wanted as Emperor, though they saw Grant had potential as he was still young and had time to marry and produce an heir of his own. There was also the option of going straight to Nadeline, but he was not sure how many supported that idea.

Still, he found himself waiting anyway. He had requested to see the Emperor: he would have to watch and see if the Emperor would see him.
