Tyr took note of the security in place over Marcus' room. Before now she might have seen it as a bit of overkill but considering the current state of things, this was more than acceptable. Once inside it became clear the need to keep this room under lock and key. [color=ed1c24]"By the gods, the tower would be put to shame"[/color], she said as she followed Marcus to the table. Taking a seat she found herself somewhat relieved upon hearing Marcus name every espionage countermeasure on the list. [color=ed1c24]"The Ocular. That's my business. Even if we needed reassignment, it wouldn't require the entire order to return to the island. We could easily send ravens or a courier as we've always done. I don't know, perhaps its just the years getting to me, but I feel that our absence has allowed these creatures to gain a foothold. Yes the Templars can fight them but they are to defend and hunt the immediate threats. Our jobs are to eliminate much bigger enemies before they even show themselves to the world"[/color], Tyr got up from the chair and walked over to the window, staring out into the night with the only illumination outside of the city being the moon accompanied by the beautiful ribbons of arcane light. [color=ed1c24]"You know, there is a scholar back on the island who's named these the aura lights. I think it's a terrible name but he's determined to have it be the official name"[/color], with a sigh she moved away from the window and leaned against the wall beside it. [color=ed1c24]"I often think of everything that's changed, after the war, there is a lot we don't know about now. By the gods, I'm here with a woman who didn't exist in this world five years ago. A whole city of people live under the sea and a whole new continent lies to the south. It makes me wonder how much good are we. This is practically a whole new world with new enemies we've yet to face. That and the fact our new Ocular trusts us about as much as a whore trusts a client who fucks before paying..."[/color], Tyr took a deep breath before getting off the wall and looking towards Marcus. [color=ed1c24]"I don't know, I suppose what I'm saying is maybe the order isn't good enough. Maybe its time for me to give up this life...apologies, I've been going on about all this like a bitter bard. How've you been? We've not spoken in some time as I recall. Secret ambassador for the order to Evelyn Sunderland must have its perks"[/color]. Tyr tried her best to change the subject. She knew she could talk to Marcus about it but if this was all they'd talk about then they'd lose their minds.
