Hearing his friend speaking before standing up with certain dificulty, Archene spoke, "You can't blame me for always finding adversity," He gave Charles another friendly smile before going to the man's side putting an arm under his own to make it easier for him to stand upright, "It isn't like I would start wars just so you'd be hurt when I visit you or anything. How did you even get hurt this time?" The Licenti let out a quiet chuckle, only briefly giving another glance at the new arrivals before giving a thoughtful look at the vials. While he was able to notice that the liquids inside had a certain concentration of vis, it certainly wasn't enough for him to know which was less likely to kill the one drinking.
"No matter how much I look I am unable to tell them apart, sadly." The sentence, however somber it may have sounded, was accompanied by a soft smile, "But as always, I can offer a Seed of mine for yourself. It might make you feel a bit drained for a few hours, but by the time our mission begins, you should be in proper condition. Before you ask, yes, you can have it removed afterwards, though I hope you let me doing it myself rather than making any forceful attempts."
After that moment, the Eximius attention shift from Charles to the others sharing the room with him. He takes a better look at the host, Zeki, his brows particularly furrowing as he feels that the vis in the room getting denser. Probably a safety measure, Archene notes to himself. As for the other Licenti present, the ones who had arrived before him that is. While his eyes stay on them, as if studying them, they soon turn to the late comer. This time he does look at him for a considerable number of moments. 'Second, possibly third generation hybrid. This city truly has all kinds of interesting things.'
Lastly, his eyes wandered to the last trio arriving, humans seemingly quite acquainted with Charles. Specially considering how he beckons them to come to his side. While he does spend a moment to look at them as individuals, soon enough the presentation begins and his eyes return to Zeki.
As the slides go by and Zeki's explanation ends, Archene looks at their host. Hearing them asking if the people have questions, the Eximius Lord spoke, "Before anything else, even considering there is no problem or flaw in the method to arm the prisioners and getting them out. What is the plan for afterwards? Mere mayhem until they are captured again, or killed. Or is there a proper plan to get them to come along with us, as well as means to get them out of there?" He pauses briefly, "A place for them to be will also be necessary in that case."
