For once Emiri felt like she couldn't quite read his thoughts. She was never really good at that sort of thing, but it would seem Jaakuna would agree with her, holding her closer to him. She paused her thoughts for a moment, looking up at his rather peaceful expression. However, as she did, for some reason she would think back on an old dream she had. It had been the one where Jaakuna had tried to kill her--why in the world would that come up now of all times? [i][color=f6989d]Because if something were to happen to me again...Aloa might not be around to stop me.[/color][/i] The thought came all too easily, and Emiri would bury herself in Jaakuna's shoulder. [i][color=f6989d]I almost killed Nadeline...who is to say who it would be next time?[/color][/i]

"[b][color=f6989d]Should it come down to it...if I were ever to attack anyone again, I want you to stop me no matter what it takes.[/color][/b]" She admitted out loud, likely throwing him off guard.

As Wesley would speak of Reia, Nadeline's gaze would turn out to the window, out to the starless night sky. Nadeline had always truly, genuinely respected the woman, but she knew above all that her country came first. If Reia was not suitable for the throne, then Rozarria would have to adjust. Wesley seemed rather amused by the her idea, giving his own input. As he would laugh, she would raise an eyebrow at him, mentioning one possibility Nadeline had neglected to take into consideration.

"[b][color=fdc68a]I hadn't thought of that,[/color][/b]" Nadeline pondered out loud as she would consider the possibility. "[b][color=fdc68a]I don't see why not. If Jaakuna and Emiri would represent peace to Archadia, then I assume Grant and Savayna would do the same for Rozarria.[/color][/b]" She would turn her gaze back to Wesley. "[b][color=fdc68a]Although if he became emperor, would Savayna be willing to forsake Archadia? She seems pretty loyal all things considered.[/color][/b]"

Nope, Savayna wasn't buying it at all. She immediately called him out, citing the fact that she knew Jaakuna better than he did (a thought he was always too willing to forget) as she would advance on him. Grant would immediately back up, though she would keep coming to him, until finally, he found himself sandwiched between Savayna and the wall. There really was no means of escaping now, was there? He silently cursed, wanting very much to hold his ground, though Savayna gave him very little choice. She would then run her hand along his arm, and he knew he had little choice but to concede defeat.

Letting out a small groan of annoyance, Grant would scowl at her. This woman was a handful, that much he had to admit. "[b][color=92278f]I do have to wonder how such brashness managed to get you a position as General,[/color][/b]" He couldn't help but snap, displeased as he would muster every ounce of willpower to resist her charm. "[b][color=92278f]It isn't just about my place to tell you, it is also a rather...unsettling truth.[/color][/b]" He hesitated, but when she would only look at him expectantly, he figured he might as well just come out and say it.

"[b][color=92278f]There's a...reason Emiri is back to normal so quickly--or about as normal as she could be considering Chaos wiped her clean.[/color][/b]" He began slowly, choosing his words carefully.
