Inside of the luxurious safe house black metal blinds had been pulled down over the securely locked windows to stave off prying eyes and any potential intruders. From within the living room, soft white lighting illuminated the elegant wooden dining room table and chairs that were positioned in the middle of the spacious living room. Nearby was the stone and metal work fireplace that had been built to keep the whole house a warm and toasty temperature during the cold nights in the winter, and this night was nothing less than a frigid one.  Inside of the fireplaces heart were three logs and snapped and popped as they slowly burned.  The whole safe house was filled with a satisfying warmth, pushing back the bitter weather outside. The living room was filled with melodic calming music that could be heard alongside the sound of the Sister of Battle Medic cooking away in the kitchen, making an assortment of snacks for the retinue while they discussed their next assignment.

 Six hours had passed since the retinue had found themselves inside of the luxurious safe house. The group had played games, read books, talked and ultimately recovered among many other things while the hours passed by, approaching the time of the party.  Back in the living room and Mostly sitting up in a comfortable position upon the large firm grey couch, Aviza had a book in her hands, a high fantasy story that had drawn her attention after she had found it in the safe houses library. It was one of those books that once you pick up, it is hard to put down, where you are enjoying the story so much that nothing else seems matter around you at the time. The Sister of Battle Medic came out of the kitchen holding a couple plates of small freshly made snacks and placed them down upon the beautiful wooden dining room table top.

Your data-pad should have all in the…”[/color] The medic did not finish her sentence as there was a knock on the large metal door of the safe house. The door would unlock itself as Aviza almost fell off of the couch and onto the floor, quickly pulling herself together and running up the stairs to her room to change into her full armor as well as to gather all of her equipment. Once all of her armor had been equipped and everything was in order, she walked down the stairs once more knowing who had returned to personally inform all of them on the details of their mission. Superior Canoness Andromedai  sat still and silent at the far end of the dining room table, she had moved the food to one side of the table and placed a large holographic map to the middle. 

 With a hault, Aviza quickly and firmly saluted Andromedai before walking down the rest of the stairs and waited next to the table before Andromedai gave her permission to sit down and wait for the rest of her group. There was a moment of silence as Aviza reached for a piece of bruschetta and set it upon a small plate in front of her next to a glass of water. [color=ed1c24]“Evening Celestrian Aviza, as I said I would return to personally brief the retinue on this mission, and will do so once everyone arrives and takes a seat. This assignment has taken an intriguing turn and has become much more important.”[/color] Aviza nodded her head, waiting for the rest to take their seats so Andromedai could begin.
