Jashan was aware that the given orders were carried out today; after all with so many demons missing in the building, it was quite evident. He couldn't keep himself in his room and stepped outside that morning, climbed on a tree and just started to draw up there. He was restless which one could observe in his hasty movements that were far away from elegant. Mainly, Jashan left Lucien in charge of the strategies in fear if Lucien'd tell him the exact locations, he'll immediately decamp to where the Children were and slaughter them by himself. Though not that he knew their faces. It was just- unlike Lucien, Jashan was definitely not made for putting up only with strategies and everything, Jashan was a man that'd step on the combat area with confidence and fought amid the frontline. It certainly suppose to be like that- but now he was stuck far away from where fighting occured. Needed to hold back for Serith's plan he knew so little about. It was just not fair.
A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned on the tree, its bark made it uncomfortable but nothing Jashan gave much notice at the moment. He was distracted with his thoughts and he still could not find any satisfaction in the situation he was forced into. Like the generals, he urged to fight- but was left behind purposefully to watch over them. Or something like that, the intentions of this stunt was still blurry to Jashan and completely nothing that'd ever gain his agreement- though it was not like anyone find it necessary to ask him.
Of course he'd let some of his underlings go along, but due to Serith's order it was only the weak ones who went. Whatever the reason for that was, he certainly was not content - the same probably applied to Lucien, at least Jashan could guess that its true. After all, even if Lucien did not like to admit- in these few aspects they were certainly familiar, both only having a single objective in mind. And showing mercy just before they could eliminate them was definitely nothing both wished to do. Quite the ordeal actually, that displeased Jashan and resulted in him drawing peculiar pictures that even Jashan himself as their artist could not really make them out.
He jumped down and slightly float to the ground by manipulating ectoplasm and stepped back inside the building. He intended to go back to his room, attempted to get back to sleep so he won't be bothered by distracting thoughts. But then Lucien's puppet approached him, informed him about Lucien's order. Lucien wished to see him! Of course he could think of why he needed him present, probably discussing matters like always. Though it was for him to think of the better and being happy about an illusion. Jashan liked Lucien in more means than just a partner (though Jashan doubted that Lucien even saw him as a mere partner) and always enjoyed being around him, showing his affection in the most peculiar way so that his feelings probably were not noticed... yet. He did not need to have a premonition to know that it won't ever be a happy ending with them though. There were more important matters than to bother with his trivial feelings that he tried to discard but can not.
"Well then, I shall not let him wait any longer than this." He said, a smile adorned his face as with elegant, but fast steps he moved forward steering directly to the room Lucien was. He opened the door expected to be faced by only Lucien, but Serith was there in his company- his presence as eerie as ever, filled with mysteries and a malice that had kept Jashan standing stiff at the entryway before he found back his composure, entered and closed the door in silence.
An orb seemingly floated in the air, showed images of a terrain that Jashan was not familiar with. A field of war, a chaos where he belonged.
"I see you are here," was his words that suppose to count as greeting. His eyes lingered not long on Serith's essence as he withdrew his gaze. He feared the man's presence, and Jashan was sure that this man could feel it. Only to him Jashan felt completely submissive which felt demeaning. His gaze fell to Lucien, looking at his fellow Necromancer almost longingly until he eventually found courage to ask the question he had bothered with for long.
"Why...- when am I allowed to step into battle?" He asked, interrupted himself before he asked anything inappropriate. His eyes were now caught in the images displayed by the orb. He'll go crazy sooner or later of doing nothing but wait.
