Archivald was allowed into Azura's chambers after about ten minutes of waiting, however, he found that the two of them would not be alone as next to the female was another individual. It was nearly impossible to distinguish the figures features due to the hooded cloak that they were wearing, but it was very clear that there was a reason for them to be there. [color=00aeef]"Hello Archivald,"[/color] The Elder said with a small smile, [color=00aeef][b]"You have horrible timing with wanting to speak to me. It takes some time to interview potential Rebel Contacts you know."[/b][/color]

	When archivald stepped into the room, it was clear that he was reasonably annoyed after having to wait that long. He had announced his arrival in advance. If he had to wait longer, surely the damn dog could've send him a message back. He leered for a second at his boss before he noticed the figure next to her. [color=f26522][b]"Hello Azura. Who has the pleasure of joining us today?" [/b][/color]

	[color=00aeef][b]"She will be keeping you company more than myself I am sure,"[/b][/color] the female murmured under her breath before returning her second's stare, [color=00aeef][b]"For all intense and purposes her name is Lilith, she has an in with the Rebellion and will be reporting to us at least once a week with any information she may have. When she is out on missions for them she will be returning here to report to you directly. Anything of use is to be reported back to me so I may adjust... plans accordingly. Now, it is apparent that you have something to tell me that you feel is important enough to bother me over?"[/b][/color]

	[color=f26522][b]"A spy? Well hopefully she does better than the last one."[/b][/color] He looked her over, then he turned back to Azura. He;d do the introductions afterward [color=f26522][b]"I ran into an acquaintance of yours during my last mission today. I believe you are a regular of that harpy in west end. That flying piece of filth did not only shield rebels, she also did not seem afraid of attacking me if it came down to it. After the drama she also ignored any orders made in the name of the first elder of Enigma."[/b][/color] archivald paused for a moment, observing the elder's reaction [color=f26522][b]"Surely you know that these offenses are punishable by death. The only reason I did not attack her was because you have explicitly asked me before to not harm these individuals. However, I am not overlooking possible rebel sympathisers with no respect for your authority. I believe action against her is in order."[/b][/color]

	[color=00aeef][b]"She isn't a sympathizer, I don't even think she even know what a rebel is. Kharlee is a... strange case, while she may not necessarily like humans, she does not dislike them either. On top of that, she has had a relatively shielded life and does not understand much of what is happening through no fault of her own. Considering the situation, I will have a talk with her when I return there tomorrow with the books that I have promised her as well as make it very clear that there are some things even I cannot protect her from. However, you will not take action against her unless I say so, I want to make sure she understands the situation she just put herself in. You are allowed eyes on her, I am sure your... [i]friend[/i] will be more than enough."[/b][/color]

	[color=f26522][b]"Please do so."[/b][/color] Archivald sighed [color=f26522][b]"I decided not to engage out of respect for your usually keen judgement. I trust you will be able to work it out. Also, I'd rather not use a precious resource like that on an oversized chicken."[/b][/color] Archivald shook his head. [color=f26522][b]"I trust you will talk sense into her. Tell me if you want a spy on her afterward and I'll see it done."[/b][/color] He turned back to Lilith [color=f26522][b]"So, tell me more about yourself. Who do I have the pleasure of working with?"[/b][/color]

	[color=92278f][b]"For all intense and purposes I go only by Lilith,"[/b][/color] came a female voice, [color=92278f][b]"The less you know at present, the better off we will be. Should it become necessary for me to give you my real name and show you who I am then I will do so. At the prestent time, even being in North End is putting my station at risk, I managed to get away from my group for a little bit, but I can't stay away for very long. I will send  you various birds with a weekly report, it will never be the same bird twice unless I am under duress."[/b][/color] As she spoke, a pale hand came out from under the cloak, the fingers slender and almost frail looking, [color=92278f][b]"I look forward to working with you Archivald."[/b][/color]

	He walked over to the cloaked  figure and extended his hand [color=f26522][b]"Nice to meet you Lilith,  I'm sure we'll get along swimmingly."[/b][/color] He smirked. Unlike what the frail hand might've implied, the handshake was actually rather firm. It took the warlock by surprise ever so slightly. It wasn't completely unexpected, because this wasn't completely uncommmon among monsters. She may be some kind that has enhanced strength. He could hear the professionalism in the way she described her work, and nodded approvingly. [color=f26522][b]"You seem competent, good to know. Keen judgement indeed, Azura."
[/b][/color]

	[color=92278f][b]"Well met, now please excuse me as I have a group I need to go meet up with,"[/b][/color] she said before leaving the room without a word, and without a sound. Once she was out of the room, Azura looked at her Right hand and offered him a small smile.

	[color=00aeef][b]"I think she will fit in nicely. She already has a home that she stays in when she is not with the Rebels, but she knows to report to you the moment she returns back. I wonder how long it will take her to leave the cloak behind, or how long it will take you to simply take it off of her."[/b][/color] The Elder knew all too well of Archivald's habits, not that she really cared how the Demon got his Rocks off, but she wasn't about to let him ruin a good spy if she could help it. [color=00aeef][b]"Now, do you have anything else for me?"
[/b][/color]

	Archivald gave her an half-hearted wave, dismissing Lilith's presence. He shrugged at Azura's remarks on his behavior [color=f26522][b]"I don't just go for any lady, you know. You are the living proof of that"[/b][/color] He smirked at her.  He knew he'd get a snarky comment back in retort, as per usual. The two of them always seemed to be at odds with eachother, but it was usually in good faith. [color=f26522][b]"Nothing really. I don't think I need to point out that it was success.  I'm happy I got to blow off some steam. Any more news? Any updates to our plans?"[/b][/color]

	[color=00aeef][b]"No more news, updates are pending. If anything changes I will be sure to let you know if it affects anything we need to do. Now, you are dismissed, I have to make a trip back to West End to talk to Kharlee. While I am sure Endre has already discussed things with her, it may be a bit better if I do so she can better understand the situation."[/b][/color] With that said, Azura simply turned her back on Archivald and began to gather a few things to bring to the Harpy. She had not expected having to go back so soon, but she knew that it had to be done now rather than later. [color=00aeef][b]"Lilith will send you reports as needed."[/b][/color]

	Archivald nodded [color=f26522][b]"Good luck. Please let me know how the conversation went."[/b][/color] And with that said, he left the room of the elder. He was happy with the acquisition of a new spy. He just hoped her reports were worth a damn. She may have come accross as a competent one, but only results would speak truth of her skills.

	Once the Warlock left, she wrapped up the books in the cloak she had aquired from Endre earlier in the day and shouldered it. She figured the sooner she got the talk out of the way, the sooner she could go through the reports that liked to pile on her desk throughout the day. [b][color=00aeef][i]Well, time to go have a chat with a harpy,[/i][/color][/b] she thought to herself.
