[color=7ea7d8]"So much for trust. [i]And[/i] introductions. How very rude."[/color] Nonna said, loud enough for the leaving Piedmon to overhear. It wasn't all true though - even these brief exchanges told Nonna enough to start making a priority list. Piedmon seemed to take an instant dislike to her - she would probably have to guard her back closely against him - the little verbal jab was as far as she dared go for now, but she couldn't let the first impression of her be as someone who would be content with being overlooked.

Myotismon was the oddity - as Pawnchessmon told her when they met, the only ultimate among the councilors. That suggested two possibilities to her - either he was a weak link, or so powerful that even though he was not a mega, he could hold his own among the councilors. Nonna decided to err on the side of caution and for now put him right on top of her list with Piedmon. She thought him the second most threatening, as his problem with her seemed to be a trust issue rather than thinking her inferior.

She did not get to see much of Tactimon, but she instantly recognized him as the same breed of a being as herself - he would without a doubt be difficult to compete against in any capacity, but the Russian was betting on her education to get her through that when the time came. Until then, being on the same wavelength, perhaps she could turn the armored digimon into an ally, however temporary.

The three above fitted her expectations quite nicely - which left her with Diaboromon, who seemed to be willing to accept her perhaps too smoothly - perhaps even had a bit of respect for her. He was the only one who got to see her act or heard her speak. Aside form that, when they spoke she between the lines attempted to put the idea of her being [i]only his[/i] asset into his head. Currently she could be reasonably certain she wasn't in any danger coming from him.

Countin in her head, her gaze turned to the last councilor - Cherubimon, if memory served. He did not talk to her, but Nonna he was observing them closely. The girl thought that perhaps this was the grey eminence of the council - the one pulling strings and working form the shadows. That left him an unknown, and thus very dangerous to her. On top of that, if her guess was correct and he was used to playing dirty, he would be the most likely to see through her. However it might also prove to be the same weakness - if he was playing the councilors as well, he would have a dirty secret waiting to be exposed to the others and summon their wrath.

All in all, she and Pawnchessmon had a lot of work in front of them. Before they could think of interfering with any of the councilors in any way other than her words, they needed to bet stronger. Nonna wasn't certain of what her own limit was - clearly rookies couldn't stand against her even outnumbering her, but she would admit she would have had a hard time with Ogremon, and he wasn't even as big as Kabuterimon or Greymon. As for Pawnchessmon, they needed to figure out how the digivolution worked. It was the key to their success - without it, they could not progress, and no doubt would soon fall out of the council's favor.

As one of the Devimon approached them to take them away, Nonna thought for a second before addressing the three councilors left in the room. [color=7ea7d8]"Councilors! If I may... I have little knowledge still of this world - its geography, its history - and am of little use without. If I may ask for some materials on the matter to pass the time until I am called upon?"[/color]
