As the last of their group found their way, the man who had been dressed a bit nicer than the rest of them, beckoned for them to lead the way. The Val immediately recognized the man who was to be their leader. He had the aura of one. Keyra fell into step behind the one who had nodded at them, her wings fluttering slightly as she moved swiftly. They were brought to the council room shortly after where she laid eyes upon the man they were to meet with.
Though he had smiled upon looking at their leader, his earlier appearance had given away more than he probably wished for others to know. The Val frowned. He was burdened with something, a heavy darkness lingered over his shoulder. The heavy feeling that exuded from him was easily picked up by her senses. She listened to their exchange with a slight bit of interest.
"Its okay everyone, you can be frank here." The count said as he gestured for them all to gather around the large table that held a map on it's inky surface. Keyra complied and stepped up to one side of the table. Her gaze fell down to the map, taking in it's details, her eyes narrowing slightly as she scanned the paper.
"Now.. I know many of you have questions and that is something we will get to. But I must say that I thank you all from the deepest reaches of my heart. My people are in need of help and you have all been enlisted to do just that, by my station and the inner council itself. This mission will be dangerous, of that I have been assured. But I know that with all things hope is a great a weapon as any sword or more sturdy then any shield." He said as he gazed down at the table. After removing his crown, he looked up at each of them, his voice holding a heavy tone that matched the feeling that was pouring from him. Keyra tilted her head off to the side slightly as she lifted her gaze to regard him briefly before looking back down at the map.
"Now aside from the good captain here.. I know not of any of you. So please I believe introductions are in order." the count said and pointed over to their Captain. Keyra turned then to watch the taller man.
"Dravon Morsano.. born to house Morsano in the Silver heights and Captain of my own privateer vessel..." Dravon put a pipe into his mouth when he finished speaking. This prompted the others to speak as well and Keyra waited patiently. She wasn't all that great with introductions as they were going, but she would comply since it seemed customary.
“I’m Elruin Halfin of the burned house, first and only son of lord Jurial Halfin and rightful heir to all his belongings.” The Ash Fiend announced, his tone very firm as he introduced himself. Much like a noble the Vall thought as she arched an eyebrow while regarding him. She was only slightly curious to the reason why he was there with them, but figured it was probably for a good reason, at least that's what she thought anyway.
“I am Enuren. I come from the mountaintops of Vola’kun.” The Ariji female said, her introduction just a bit shorter than the others.
With a moment of brief silence, the Vall figured it was her turn. Leveling her golden hawk gaze upon the count, she lifted her arm and extended it across her torso again, bowing forward with her slender fingers extended outwards. This bow was a little deeper than the one she'd given earlier and even her wings dropped back a bit adding just a bit more elegance to her formality, "My Lord," she started, "I am Keyra," once she'd stated her name, she straightened again, allowing her arm to fall to her side and her wings raise up again. Though the count had said they could be 'frank', Keyra, for one didn't know what that was, and secondly it wasn't in her nature to be... 'frank'.
