The mage with the [i]audacity[/i], regardless of his position, to cut him off then had the gall to give them no time to prepare themselves for such an awful journey. First they take away his sight and then they took away [i]everything[/i]? Varis' grip tightened instinctively, shifting closer to the boy once he had the ability to at least feel something again. Honestly, what was the point of his position if he was constantly suffering this degree of disrespect without adequate redress? [color=f7976a]"Ryner needs to respect the nobles' position far more than she has. I have never suffered such disrespect until I came here. If any other family ran this facility, you'd be sure things would be run far tighter than her royal highness keeps her affairs."[/color] Varis complained as he looked around without much result. He was still on edge over this whole situation. He was a leader, not a follower, and being expected to allow a mage to lead them out of this predicament was a nightmare. Things worked when he ran them and they fell apart when he didn't. It was a simple fact and he didn't care for Ryner's ignorance of it. Awful vampire, really. She was probably chortling about it right now, all snug and safe in her office [i]with her sight[/i]. [color=f7976a]"I cannot believe no one has ever spoke out against this. How am I the only one who thinks this is a problem? What, are they going to chop off our hands next? Stake us and make a mage find us before the sun rises?"[/color] Varis' voice was climbing as the panic started setting in again as the darkness encompassing him pressed in. [color=f7976a]"And that damned Eve, mocking me. Clearly, we can't do anything now. I was commenting on his lack of backbone. If he is aiming for the Lordship, he'll have to learn to stand up for himself. There's nothing to be gained from staying quiet in this. If he thinks compliance endears him to the Princess, he's the boring simpleton I originally thought. She's used to [i]compliance[/i]. Make a damned name for yourself, make it clear you won't be looked over or taken advantage of."[/color] [sub][right]Interacting with: [@Obscene Symphony][/right][/sub]
