Fatima snapped, and Jandar glanced at her in surprise – but also appreciation. It certainly was one way to resolve the situation. A very small, nearly involuntary smile stretched his lips at his Queen’s words. He rather liked this snarly side of hers. Finally, after a silent glaring match, the Eyriens relented. When Faeril looked in his direction, Jandar offered her a polite nod, a nonverbal ‘you’re welcome’.

He waited patiently, though he did walk over to the bar to perch himself on a stool. Whatever SaDiablo was doing to Faeril, it was taking a while. During the wait, Thom asked a fairly naïve question, though Jandar did not fault the young one’s ignorance. [color=20B2AA]“It is not so simple,”[/color] the Warlord said. [color=20B2AA]“The Queens have ruled in this way for centuries. Even if Prince SaDiablo were free to go against them, he could not beat them all by himself. Despite being the strongest known person of the two realms, yes. To further complicate matters…”[/color] he trailed off, and pointedly glanced at the black jeweled man’s collar. [color=20B2AA]“Well, better let him explain himself, if he wants to,”[/color] he warned.

When the Prince resurfaced from perusing her mind, he did indeed explain his lack of action so far. He also cautioned Faeril against being reckless, and revealed her as a member of aristocracy. [color=20B2AA]“I did not know you were so prominent a person,”[/color] Jandar commented, rising an eyebrow her way. [color=20B2AA]“And though I would not dare caution a Black Widow on her own Craft, please do not overwork yourself to madness.”[/color] It was apparent he didn't know exactly what ‘weaving into the Twisted Kingdom’ meant besides it being dangerous, but he definitely didn’t want to see Faeril loose herself to her esoteric craft; she was an important ally.

Then, he swung his head in SaDiablo’s direction, frowning in commiseration. [color=20B2AA]“So that is what they have been holding over you,”[/color] he stated. [color=20B2AA]“Nonetheless…We should head to Kaeleer. There, we can gather forces and plan a counterattack. I dare say there are still a fair number of people who would be willing to follow your lead, Prince,”[/color] Jandar assured, gazing at the man earnestly, his deep respect for Saetan apparent.
