Kareet had to do her best to maintain her patience. The back-and-forth of insults and threats between Silbermine and Nellara seemed like it was becoming even less and less productive as time went on. She may not have wanted Mythadia to gain too much influence over the Humans, but the arguments were preventing her from getting anything else done. All she could think about was the time they had wasted that she could be using to do something more important. 

Silbermine wanted the Humans to assist him in the Running, and honestly, Kareet did not care if they did. Certainly he wouldn’t need all of them, and if they agreed, then it would likely get Silbermine out of their feathers enough for Kareet to actually get to work. Ironically, if he took them on as [i]foreign[/i] champions, that would strengthen their position as being independent. Or at least, not under the dominion of Mythadia. It seemed strange to think so, but having the Humans help Silbermine with what he asked could actually serve the Ascendancy’s needs here. 

Kareet perked up upon the arrival of the Humans’ leader. It seemed Zey had decided to join in the political posturing, from how she spoke. Kareet could not help but to feel a bit disappointed in that, but there was opportunity for her in what she asked. According to Zey, the Humans needed things from them, and there was at least one thing that Kareet could actually contribute to, and she could do so without needing anyone else’s permission. “If you agree to help me write my encyclopedia on your people, then I will give you all the lightning I can. I don’t need any other payment.” Kareet answered, holding up one hand as a few sparks of electricity arced between her fingers.
