The room's temperament is that of war-strategists planning their carefully laid out skirmishes. For a single moment when Guillaume has heard that Lady Demet has passed away... He felt a brief pause. The air was as cold as his grief that washed his face. Istvan's chiseled expression did not betray a sorrowful emotion, but the deep tone of his monolithic voice exudes a regretful undertone. Guillaume's hand crept to his breastplate. [color=E0C092]"My condolences. The world has lost a beautiful soul. May her spirit be lifted into Reon's arms."[/color]

Lady Demet had treated Guillaume with much kindness, respect, and gentleness during his service. To see such an amazing woman passing on so early is crushing to the heart, and it must be more so for the Earl himself. [color=E0C092]"Pass on my condolence to the Earl. I will make sure to return and mourn for his loss in person, once this is all over."[/color] The reunion became a bittersweet gathering of sorts, which had to be ended quickly as the young Demet broke the brief silence.

[color=E0C092]"Indeed, my travels have been both great and shameful at times."[/color] His hand slowly fell to his side. [color=E0C092]"Soon you'd have to test your governing abilities when your people are influenced by outside news."[/color] His voice was upbeating, trying to move on from the feelings of grief. [color=E0C092]"Politics would perhaps become your craft."[/color] The small conversation was put on hold as Lady Hraesleg began to lay out her plan of attack.

It seems that Lirrah's pleading had earned her the role of night watch woman. It was her best abilities utilised effectively to avoid direct confrontation. Then, there was the assassin. For some reason, Lady Hraesleg had found it fitting to include an assassin into the Lions. The knight's brow furrowed as he laid eyes on her golden locks with uncertainty and some suspicion. He didn't exactly know who she was, but for Lady Hraesleg to have included must mean that she had an incredible recommendation from a Lord or some kind.

Soon a disagreement broke between Gisela and Cadmon over whether to follow the usual combat practices rather than Lady Hraesleg's initial plan, with both presenting good points that should not be ignored. Though Guillaume remained quiet and thought over the battle plan for a moment. The plan is to lure the foxes out of their hole with essentially more bodies that could potentially be raised back by the necromancer close to their encampement or hideout. When they strike the 'bait', the rest of the Lions will attack in response and chase them into their hole, where the assassin would have already eliminated the Necromancer.

[color=E0C092]"Lady Hraesleg,"[/color] The knight responded. [color=E0C092]"I am willing to pose as the lure if we are to follow the initial plan, with six men to pose as guards to a caravan. The caravan can be filled with a few more of us to join the fight immediately."[/color] He could envision one version of events, where the enemy strikes their caravan, and soon would come to find out that the caravan of goods were but a decoy. [color=E0C092]"We'd be able to quickly eliminate them when they attack. Then, we ride into their encampment in similar numbers of the attackers as they'd be expecting the raiding party to return."[/color] To take Cadmon's note on the matter, [color=E0C092]"However if the enemy has indeed caught wind of the Lions hunting them and remained on the low, then we'd indeed need to quickly move to assault their base the old-fashioned way."[/color]
