[B] "Finally, we are here. Out in the middle of nowhere, and quite vulnerable... Impressive, no?"[/B] Zayn couldn’t agree more with the Templar’s assessment. Surely there were better places to hold these talks? They had practically rolled out the red carpet for the Papacy to come ruin things.

And, judging from the suspicious Crusaders around the meeting tent, they could already be here. After hearing Kasim’s telepathic message, Zayn reached out with his mind as well as he could, trying to brush the thoughts of the odd guards and see if his suspicions might be confirmed. If the watch had just changed, then it was the perfect time to slip in and to set in motion any devious plans. Laenaia seemed to have the same idea to further investigate the off-kilter crusaders - hopefully her approach would attract the strange sentinel’s focus that that Zayn might more easily slip into their minds.

The other vampire, Zin and the cheerful sprite, Draza left with Davian to find Alida. Zayn hoped that their diplomatic influence would be enough to keep the templar from pissing off the Republic. In the same vein, Zayn hoped that Laenaia and himself would be enough to keep Zayn from shooting someone important.
