Argenti looked up from his current file as the group was asked about staying at the bed and breakfast. He knew that Cain had mentioned all of them staying there and that was a reason why the succubus shouldn’t. This Cain seemed to be attempting to take charge of the situation. Argenti was willing to work with these people. He didn’t need any of them trying to boss him around. Still, he didn’t have a place to stay right now. Since he had gotten to The City, he had been bouncing from place to place unless he was in the middle of taking care of monsters. It wouldn’t hurt to have a place to stay without having to worry about who would be trying to kill him. He didn’t trust anyone else in this group, not really, but he had a feeling he didn’t really have to worry about them until the Outcasts were gone and the Innocents were safe once again.

And it wouldn’t hurt for someone to take charge of their little group of five. At least Argenti thought it was five because two of them got up and left without saying a single word to anyone. Anyways the five of them had strong personalities they could either let someone take charge or spend all their time arguing and voting over what to do and then the odds of them getting anything done would be next to zero. It was just to deal with the Outcasts. Then Argenti could leave this City and never seen any of them every again. He could handle orders for that long as long as they were combat orders.

So Argenti grinned as he pointed at Cain, [color=C0C0C0]“Like the boss says, it would be wise to move this to someplace where we know we aren’t being watched.”[/color] He nodded at Albert, [color=C0C0C0]“I would be honored at pleased to spend time at your bed and breakfast. However,”[/color] Argenti stood and stretch his hands out to the ceiling, [color=C0C0C0]“Right now I have a few people I would like to talk to about the Outcasts and the Innocents. Does anyone want to come with me?”[/color]

Honestly Argenti made the invitation for two reasons. The first was that he didn’t want anybody thinking that he was hiding things. The second was that it wasn’t entirely safe to go alone. If the Outcasts realized that The Detective had brought in outside help the five of them were easily the biggest threat and it would be wise to eliminate them before they became and even bigger threat. However, that didn’t mean that Argenti thought anyone would take him up on his offer. He was prepared to go alone. That didn’t mean that he wanted to. He just could if he had to.

Then something happened that Argenti couldn’t describe. He had to grit his teeth to remain standing as what felt like a wave of magical energy crossed the city. The succubus knew that anyone with any real level of magic would feel it too. Something had happened, but he wasn’t sure what. He didn’t know enough about magic to know what. It felt almost like The Detective, so Argenti wasn’t too worried. Maybe it was some sort of prep for their [i]Sleep.[/i] Maybe it was their [i]Sleep[/i] itself. Whatever it was it marked the beginning of something, mostly likely the war between the Outcasts and the Lessers. Whatever it was it changed things.

Argenti laughed tightly, [color=C0C0C0]“I would appreciate it if someone came with me.”[/color]
