In his opinion, the best thing they could do right now was to just stay away from any queen, including the local one, Alice. Not only that but the way Jandar described her made her look like a real pain to deal with. Young or not, the local queen might still be a threat to them, which definitely wasn't something they needed right now. Unfortunately, things didn't seem to go the way he preferred. The moment he saw Fatima spinning in a circle, he had an idea of what was about to happen and couldn't hide an almost annoyed expression as she did so. Unsurprisingly, Fatima mentioned that she was going to attend the queen's invitation for a dinner as she went towards Sybl, asking for him to show her good shops for her to buy a new dress. Even though her dissatisfaction was clear as she complained to them by telepathy about having to continue to act like that, it was a fact that they were going to put themselves in a potentially dangerous situation by attending to that queen's invitation. Before he could voice his dissatisfaction and protest against how things were going, Jandar sent a telepathic message for him, inquiring about the route, the portal for Kaeleer, more specifically, about the price that they would have to pay in order for such portal to be opened. An important and crucial question. Before he could reply though, Jandar received another message. Mikhail waited patiently until he could talk to him again but when he did, Jandar had another information for him. One more complication that could become a serious problem in the future. Sybl, who was Alice's spy, apparently had felt the pull towards Fatima, just as she felt him as one of her own. [color=6ecff6][i]"I don't trust him nor the local queen."[/i][/color] Mikhail replied, his mental voice clearly tired, exhausted and annoyed by the current developments. [i][color=6ecff6]"We cannot take any more risks, Jandar... The condition, the price for the portal to be opened is a harsh one... We are to take SaDiablo with us."[/color][/i] he finished, with a grim tone in his mental voice. [i][color=6ecff6]"He is even more unpredictable and dangerous than Xandar was. A ticking bomb. To make things worse, we lack any means to keep him in check."[/color][/i] he continued, with a worried tone. [i][color=6ecff6]"Regarding the local queen... This Alice... If we are indeed going to attend her invitation, we mustn't go unprepared in case something happens. There are too many things that can go wrong right now. One small mistake, one little error and our situation can get incredibly worse in the blink of an eye."[/color][/i] he finished, looking to Jandar with a serious expression.
