Much like her heart, in that moment, Isabelle’s feet nearly sank into the floor. It took balancing on Lorenzo’s arm that she was able to stand. It was a miracle. She couldn’t believe that he was up. If what Lady Aloa said was true, then they did it. Whoever was responsible--whoever did Dalmasca this great service--they would be paid handsomely. Though, Isabelle wouldn’t waste any time. Before anyone would even suggest it, she would take her leave.

“[color=orchid]I thank you, Lady Aloa,[/color]” she took Aloa’s hand and squeezed it lovingly, “[color=orchid]If there is anything you need--anything at all--all you need to do is ask and it’s yours.[/color]” She said before departing, her tears being left on Aloa’s hand and the door closed behind her.

In hearing about his brothers, Wesley remained silent, though he could see the various faces of his friends and family. How could he tell them the truth? While he was in that “coma”, he somehow became enlightened in a way that tied him to everything that his friends were doing. In that, he knew all of which had happened to him. This...transformation he seemed to go through gave him the mysterious gift of some sort of enlightenment. He didn’t quite yet understand it. The only thing he knew was that Wesley was closer to being like ALoa and Shion than he was before he fell into his deep slumber for those short few days.

As he would let out a sigh of defeat, Wesley’s gaze turned to Nadeline, seeing her face and how utterly lost she was and how confused the rest of his friends were. 

Though, Wesley took too long to speak. “[color=lightblue]Answer her already![/color]” Savayna demanded.

“[color=ed1c24]Savayna..[/color]” Jaakuna used a warning tone.

“[color=lightblue]Don’t you ‘Savayna’ me, Jaak. This isn’t just about you or Nadeline. This is about me as well.[/color]”

“[color=mediumpurple]Thinking of yourself too much, aren’t you, Lady Glacie?[/color]” Cassandra commented.

“[color=lightblue]This is about The Brotherhood and how apparently before they were taken from Wesley’s command, he led them.[/color]” Savayna completely ignored Cassandra(much to her disapproval as noted by her huffing). She directed her glance to Wesley. “[color=lightblue]Now out with it, Wes![/color]” She demanded, snarling at him.

Just as Jaakuna was going to say something, Wesley raised his hand. “[color=fff79a]I understand your anger. It was never my intention for Dalmasca’s Brotherhood to be reduced to a band of thugs that do Leviathan’s bidding nor was it for them to attack their rightful master. If only--no, now’s not the time to sulk.[/color]” Wesley shook his head, “[color=fff79a]my older brothers Caeru and Sanguine, they knew exactly what could happen to them when they agreed to serve in the shadows even though the rest of their brothers had chosen a more public position.[/color]” Wesley stated coldly. He claimed a serenity in Nadeline’s gaze. “[color=fff79a]I admit that I don’t know that much about The Protector. I only know two things: The Protector is a male and he is connected to Sylvester’s death.[/color]” 

As he left those words to linger, Wesley would look around. He would go to Alistar who had been silent throughout the entire conversation. “[color=fff79a]Alistair,[/color]” Wesley suddenly said his name.

“Your Majesty! What is it that you need?”

“[color=fff79a]Escort Cassandra to her room and send for Aloa. There is something I need to discuss with her..with everyone. And please inform my mother that I will see her shortly afterward. [/color]“ Much to her protesting, Cassandra went along with Alistair and left the room. When she did, Wesley looked around and didn’t even realize Emiri had slipped out. “[color=fff79a]Emiri needs to be here too. It involves all of us.[/color]”
