[quote=@Darkmoon Angel] [color=ed1c24]"Heh... About that... The meeting was... Bittersweet..."[/color] Ivan started off slow but soon got to explaining what happened during the meeting. [color=ed1c24]"... And we don't know if Erudessa is dead or not... But for the most part it is true that this Warlock defeated her... The meeting was meant to gather me and a group of others together to stop this Warlock... It would be an understatement to call this guy bad... We humans and the elves are the only ones who have a chance at stopping him."[/color] He hoped that all this information didn't fly over Noire's head, it was a lot to take in. [color=ed1c24]"By the way... Who was that cloaked person you were just speaking to?"[/color] Ivan couldn't help but ask, it felt rather suspicious to him. [/quote] Noire wasn't particularly listening until Ivan got the the part about Erudessa. He didn't particularly care for her policies and leadership style, but the loss of a leader was a pretty big deal, especially for someone who works so closely with her activities. "Dead? That's insane! Some 'Warlock' dude is responsible?" "We don't know if Eruessa is dead or not, but for the most part, it is true that this Warlock defeated her." "So the secret meeting...?" "The meeting was meant to gather me and a group of others together to stop this Warlock." "Wowzers. If they're gathering hotshots like you, it must be pretty serious." "It would be an understatement to call this guy bad. We humans and the elves are the only ones who have a chance at stopping him." Then Ivan decided to broach a more...delicate topic. "By the way, who was that cloaked person you were just speaking to?" Noire brushed it off with a nervous chuckle and a wave of the hand. "Oh, that's an old friend of mine. He's something of a wallflower, but he's chill. Don't worry about him. So how's the team? Get to meet any hot chicks?"
