Cassius wasn't sure if he was supposed to fear Hitori more or less... The Princess however gagged at the scent of the blood. "It's nice to see you in one piece. But you smell putrid from your... endeavors." Cassius turned as he looked at the torch-post they set up, arms crossed. Baku was sitting close to the wheel... Holding what looked like some form of brandy as he was drinking to his hearts content. Blank somewhat glared at Hitori. "Hello to you too." "Don't be bitter... Foxes can be one track minded Lad..." Baku exhaled with a low belch as he continued to sip at his brandy. Cassius somewhat paced the floor, moving closer to Dren. "Not that I don't... appreciate your sense of loyalty. In fact is quite amusing. But... Me and the Princess are not the only people who are here... In a Vision... You stand on a stone visage, stone itself, look of hurt and betrayal on your petrified body..." Cassius turned around, swaying a bit. "I am trying to say... I don't command you and she does not command you. But if you are going to pledge some form of loyalty, like a domesticated being from a wild one? Then can you do me one favor? Interact with those who help around... Like say... Dren... You would not want him walking off on us in his time of need... Would you?" There was a slight cold, yet endearing smile Cassius gave off... From Clueless, to Innocent, Cunning all in a few mere interactions. Garnet took note of his sense of Charisma. As a Leader to be, she would need to have a form of composition that lay beyond her mother's. It was impressive to see such a no name show some form of strength in his stance despite him being completely unarmed. "What do I call you sir?" She looked over to him inquisitively as a witness. "Cassius Alexandros Svent... A... person of interest sent me." He gave a nod to her. "I am..." "I know who you are your highness. Sorry if I come off as... Curt.. But I rather not strain you in these trying times. So I ask you to try to get some form of rest. Please?" There was a slight plead visible in Cassius' expression- a frown really. "Okay Mr.Svent." She bowed her head slightly as she sat down near the wall. "Ohh. And this is Dren. He will be helping us." Cassius introduced the mage to her. To which she gave a smile to him, she did not really say anything, but she bowed her head understanding the effort he was putting in just by being there. Meanwhile... Randy's struggle was in Vain, from the flurry of punches the Plant had received- The Plant known as [i]"Prison Cage"[/i] Put up a rather harder fight compared to what the Goblins gave to them. It swatted it's tendrils at Naisha with relative ease... If not intercepted, she may as well be dismissed from the fight... During this process, the being absorbed a bit of Randy's life force for it's own. Truly a vile creature.
