[b]Tatiana Lorenz[/b] Tatiana could understand the reasoning applied for why Bastion had not been allowed to come, which was probably related to the last time that Bastion had been captured by something. They didn't need her coming back as a corrupted death machine after all, not after all the effort they had put in to getting her back in the first place. "Staying away from the mad scientist if you can seems like a wise choice," she concurred. Falling silent, she averted her gaze out of embarrassment, or perhaps guilt. "Besides, I would have felt bad if I had accidentally killed you," she muttered. Sure that demon had gotten his just deserts, but that didn't mean she would simply pretend it had never happened. In a war like this there was plenty of time for revenge. Fortunately they didn't have to worry about that for long as the conversation soon turned to the topic of what they would have to do next. "I hadn't." Tatiana had been a bit busy with practicing her new powers, but she would have looked into it soon. There would always be another battle after all. "And yes, it does." The question was what was at Arcadia that the factions wanted. She didn't know, but then again it wasn't her place to. She just had to fight, and she was more than ready to do that. [@TheWindel] [hr] [b]Tartys[/b] It seemed as though even with the interruption, more and more faces were showing up to either listen to the music or to commiserate with those who were already listening. Some of them were familiar and some of them not, but regardless of intent or person it gave her quiet satisfaction to see so many people here enjoying themselves, without the war to worry about. Listening to her more persistent viewer, Tartys was left to wonder if anyone actually liked him, and how much of that was because of his attitude or because of his questions. Neither option would really surprise her, but it would probably be good to know if only for her own handling of this situation. She did her best to not let it get to her as she played along with weaving melodies and lofting notes that illuminated the vision she had in her mind. Yet even the song faltered for a moment as the sound of wings came from above, but not just wings. Looking up, her eyes widened to see the sky filled with harpies, led by Syphax as he arrived near the group that had been arranged. "Congratulations," she called back to Syphax in praise as she watched the return. It might be bad for the cleaning staff, but that was what magic was for. They had survived worse, as far as she knew. "Compared to the event, cleaning is most likely a minor concern," Tartys noted aloud on the heels of what she had said before. The harpies would prove a great boon to heaven if they were willing to serve, and the mere return of so many lost souls should be celebrated. She was sure they would have to fight soon, but for now, they could all enjoy their home and the wonders within it. [@Mega Birb][@KoL][@Inner Demon][@Awesomoman64][@The 42nd Gecko]
