Claudius chuckled lightly as he watched the Rakshasa take a drink of the wine he had ordered from Adam. [color=blue]” I do not lie young one. However, if you wish to change your choice of beverage I would allow it. Now that you have finished testing my range of beverage gathering”[/color] The words were flowing smoothly from Claudius’ mouth, however his word choice was almost odd, as if the man had never interacted with a group like this before, and to be honest, he hadn’t. The man’s eyes watched each guest order their drink, or not order anything at all. Claudius gazed closely, surveying the reactions of each member closely. Joy ran through through him as he imagined what each would order to eat. 

[color=blue]”Mister Elf I can assure you I am not here to poison, betray, or trick you. And Adam would get you even something as simple as berry juice or water.”[/color] Claudius said with a smile, a slight annoyance in his tone. He had never heard of such behavior, and he didn't like this elf’s attitude. The man watched the winged elf order water and the girl sitting to Claudius’ left order strawberry juice. Both choices made Claudius confused, but he didn’t mention it to the group. The man shifted in chair slightly as he got ready to announce why he had brought this group together. He would have a quick one on one chat with the members after dinner and really see where everyone stands on the idea, if they didn't express themselves at the table.

[color=blue]”Now then, let us talk business before we eat.”[/color] Claudius said as he stood from his chair. His posture changing into something of a more serious aspect as the foxes that had been sitting in the doorway rise and run to sit straight up and in a straight line behind Claudius’ chair. [color=blue]” The demons, the monsters, the creatures, whatever your people have called them. They will attack again. I have devised a system and selected you to defend this land, and your own against them.”[/color] Claudius finished, surveying the room again, this time waiting on the reactions of the table.

[color=blue]”Some of you have greatness to offer this group, and others need a hand to find their greatness, but I believe I have arranged the best group to close that gap in the sky.”[/color] The man seemed to relax, taking his seat once again and taking a sip of his wine. He didn't know hat to expect from people. He hadn't gauged enough reactions from enough beings to truly understand if his group would even want to engage the creatures that plagued their world. But he did believe that they possessed the right skills to close the gap.
