[@Lady Selune]

Even long before she made a visual appearance, Ricardo felt a slight distaste grow in his mouth as he felt, and heard, the presence of Manya herself approaching the large conference table they had set up within one of the larger warehouses that had been constructed to hold various resources that he now stored here. The moment he felt her hand on his shoulder he made noticeable effort not to tense or flinch away from the cold touch. He would be stupid not to be cautious... After all, everyone knew what this woman could do with nothing more than a touch. His sparkling eyes turned to hers as he gave her a somewhat disapproving look and pursed his lips into a thin line.

"I can't be certain who all will come." His voice rumbled as he politely pulled out a chair for her, mostly to convince her to get off of the table and actually have a seat like a civilized person would. "I hope everyone who has any stake in the Rift-land makes an appearance. I'm fairly certain Twilight will appear. I have no doubt that Walter will come... We are in his home territory after all. Admittedly I had thought that you would be one who didn't come Manya. You seem to prefer to act alone, and not take the help of others." The jab was hidden behind a polite smile although Ricardo made little effort to hide his distaste for this woman. People like her had little patience in his book.

Before she could respond another voice was heard from the doorway, carrying across the warehouse with a resounding echo which seemed impossible from someone who spoke in such a subdued tone as he did. "Ah. Looks like I showed to the party early." 

Ricardo's eyes wandered to the man at the door, entirely aware of who he would find there. Twilight stood with a small smirk on his face, and his wings already extended from beneath his cloak to make it seem that he was taking more room then he actually was. Of course he wouldn't bother hiding his less human traits... Titans always held a sense of fear and dread about them. If people knew what he was, they would give him the respect he's demanded. "I hope I didn't interrupt a conversation? I know you two always have such... delightful banter."
