Eir'Asa Aluanas
Location: Vilvella, Allessandria. Upper Vilvella District: The
High Spirits Sauna
Company: Gabrielle Brighteye, Damon Roux
Equipment: Dagger, sword and usual clothing
Eir spared Eudithe a look when she started hurling her
accusations and questions at them. Oh, she was going to be a
treasure to work with...She asked if he questioned her because
of her goddess, because of her confidence, or her support from
the church. Eir knew the deity comment was a dig but he didn't
take it to heart. Nomisia was just as soulless and empty in her
teachings as the other gods and goddesses in this city. Embra
was the only goddess who promised this world something better,
not just some afterlife bullshit that they fed the people
desperate enough to believe it and make their existence slightly
better while they toiled and suffered. Eir wouldn't support that
vision for the world any longer...
He was about to speak when Eudithe's towel dropped, making Eir's
mouth fall open in cheerful surprise. He gave the woman a nod of
approval before speaking. "Quite right Eudithe. I remain loyal
to what Gabrielle wishes." His attention slipped to Gabrielle
when she spoke up. He agreed with her, supported her views of
taking a more discrete role in their handlings of dissent and
playing to the hearts of the people. That was what they were all
there to help with. Although, Eir believed Lady Gabrielle
already had quite the way with words....An iron fist with a
velvet glove. Such poetry...
He gave Gabrielle a nod when she asked to call him Eir. Most did
unless they spoke the Draconic language and knew what his name
meant. Merciful Healer as it was, a name he bore with intent to
see it done through Embra's fiery embrace. He caught her playful
smile and found himself feeling very good about his decision...
"Thank you, my lady. I intend to prove my worth to you in the
coming campaign." He stated before he passed his gaze to Damon.
'I'll be damned...' He thought in humor when he saw the man go
for a towel and drop his pants. Eir gave an impressed little
clap to see the man was loosening up and showing some of that
fire they needed. When he decided to ask about points of action,
Eir decided to answer both his and Gabrielle's questions
together.
"Our next course of action should be informing our lady of how
we intend to undermine her adversaries I believe. Or at the very
least tell her of their pedigree. From there I suggest we
consider what our first appearance should be, to gain her the
most approval of the Truce and the people." He stated before he
cleared his throat lightly. He had been requesting favors of his
'friends' as of late, the poor and once sick of the city he had
helped and sweared some skill and loyalty to him and Embra. They
would be Gabby's eyes and ears into the others... "My friends in
low places have whispered much about your rivals. One such being
an old friend of sorts.. Lord Malachi Hythian is a braggart, a
swindler, and thinks himself a charismatic playboy with wealth
at his disposal and some cunning... Elvi tend to be pompous
things...I'm sure he would sooner make a pass at you than take
you seriously. Perhaps his lust and his gambler's risk tolerance
can be used against him? If we stay away from the wrong end of
his assassin's blade. There is another woman with him that is
harmless...she has visions of the future, but she cannot harness
the power herself. She barely understands them enough to be a
threat. And I believe his advisor is a healer of Nomisia. A
pious woman who is very old...she will be dangerous if her
experience extends past healing..." He stated, noting that his
tone had shifted from harsh and uncaring at mention of Malachi
to gentle at mention of Luna. That was dangerous and he knew his
mistake would cost him. "As for the other, my spies state Asena
Valda has assembled a rag tag group of people from all walks of
life that hail her as some figure of peace. Well I suppose
anyone would if they hadn't seen her burst into flames and
decimate her opponents. She is foolhardy and trusting. While not
as manipulative as your shared rival, I believe her followers
possess some skill. But that won't make up for her lack of
decorum and brutish nature." He said before he gave a shrug.
"They are our rivals, if we choose to see them as such...But I
believe their support from the people will crumble when they
realize the poor will hate Malachi, the rich will fear Asena,
and you Lady Gabrielle are their happy inbetween." He finished
his opinion, finding Eudithe could speak to more with her
position and Damon seemed more the man to talk to for how
exactly to get her image to work in the public eye.

Kuh... a softer touch. She internally mocked. She crossed set a
palm on her hip and sat perpendicular to Lady Gabrielle.
Crossing one leg over the other, she rested herself back;
pushing her hair onto one shoulder while she continued to listen
to the further advise offered by the two gentleman other than
their leading Lady.
She was young but spoke with an eloquence that Eudithe had heard
of. It was refreshing to see those who have seen fewer winters
than Eudithe understand the power provided by language. Though,
Eudithe obviously preferred force and faith, herself.
She heard the slipping of cloth, and her wandering eyes took
from the ceiling to the male, Damon. He, too, joined their
extravagant birthday suits. A blush once more crept upon her
cheeks, and she averted her eyes back up to the ceiling. This
entire time she had been flustered since she did not, in fact,
enjoy lewd behavior and being naked in front of strangers she
hadn't known was quite.. peculiar. Such was the thought of a
virgin, after-all; and thankfully the steam was too powerful for
anyone to notice the reddening of her cheeks.
But then she noticed an inflection in Eir's voice.. Luna. She
thought to herself with a short grin pasting itself over her
typically idle expression. Thank you for this treat, Eir.. She
internally teased. Then he finished his thought, and Eudithe
spoke..
"Hate is but a beacon of light to be manipulated." She spoke,
"what is the saying.. keep your friends close, and your enemies
closer?" She wandered. Tapping her chin, her eyes glazed over
the men and rested on Gabrielle. "My Lady, power needs fear and
hate of thy enemy."
She leaned forward; uncrossing her legs.. leaning forward, and
purposefully hiding her breasts with her hair as she allowed it
to navigate to both sides of her chest. Divines above, this is o
uncomfortable.. She thought before she spoke. "My job is to
ensure you are listened to. However that must be done, even with
a polite guise. But I digress. Do not bend your knee to the will
of generosity less you prefer to be taken advantage of." She
offered.

Gabrielle considered all she heard and smiled. "Lady Eudithe,
don't mistake me, please. The face I show to the public will be
a mask, something to keep them placated while I work to change
the world to Embra's will. As you have seen here, I am very
capable of bending people to do as I wish. You sit before me as
naked as I, and even our shy friend Damon has doffed his
trousers to don a towel. I can make people submit."
She glanced to Damon out of the corner of her eye, grinning
still in her way. "Those who do not submit to words will submit
to doubt. Those who don't yield to doubt will yield to fear. And
those who are not swayed by fear will be swayed by pain. That's
what I have you for, isn't it, Lady? Your reputation as a
punisher of the disobedient and unworthy precedes you. I trust
in your abilities to sway the people who I cannot move with
words, doubt, or fear. Once a few have fallen in such a fashion,
more will follow suit out of a sense of wanting to belong. Much
like dear Damon, they will be uncomfortable going against the
norms, and they will bend to fit the new status quo we set."
She paused, looking around the room at her compatriots, trying
to decide if now was the time to make her full pitch. She saw
that Eir supported her, at least thus far. Damon, slow to bare
himself like the others, was someone she could not yet put her
trust in. Eudithe... The woman seemed somewhat embarrassed to
bare herself as Gabrielle did. The girl shook her head minutely.
No, this group was not yet ready for the fullness of her
schemes. They would need to steel themselves with smaller acts
first.
She turned and breathed a line of flame into the coals, heating
the stones that sat in the brazier before pouring some more
water on them. "I wish to hear more of my opponents. Malachi,
the Elvi, the flirt, you say he has an assassin? Do we know
whom? What information do we have?"

Damon sighed and rubbed sweat from his forehead.
“Yes. An assassin... Nesryn her name is- haven’t been able to
find her name of kin and see where she is from. But she is quite
deadly from what I hear... though her survivors seem to be
few... I know not much else.”
Damon knew he’d do well to watch his tongue among this group;
such volatile and seemingly unpredictable members.
He averted his gaze toward the ceiling and breathed in the steam
as Gabrielle heated the room once more. His skin prickled with
the heat but it didn’t bother him as he relaxed against the
bench.

Eir’Asa’s kept his gaze ahead as Lady Eudithe spoke. She was
right about her job to make the people listen. But to make her
enemies hate her...was that really their style of politics? He
wasn’t out to paint Gabrielle as a villain because he believed
she wasn’t. She was the only candidate out of this lot that was
going to fix things. Asena was a bleeding heart that would be
crushed under the weight of those she felt responsible for. A
good heart and physical strength didn’t protect you from the
machinations and manipulations of people in power. She wouldn’t
be able to make a lick of difference no matter how honorably she
fought. Malachi was just a copy of the men and women that had
destroyed this world in the first place. His selfishness would
lead him to ruin and manipulation by those that learned his
passions and played to them. He would fall on his sword like the
former seat he took. As for Gabrielle, she was completely right.
She was the very definition of grey, something Eir admired. She
could make the tough decision, could operate in the deceit and
careful planning, and do it all to make a decision that would
benefit all. Direction and a willingness to do what must be done
was all that would save this world.
But Damon was uncomfortable with all this, Eir could sense it on
the man. Why then would he offer himself to this cause if he
couldn’t stand the sight of it? Perhaps there was more to the
man than what Eir saw on the surface?
“Thank you for that information, Damon. If you find anything
else, please speak freely. You seem to be a man of reason. That
I can respect.” Eir offered to maybe set the man at ease since
he disliked someone feeling uncomfortable. He was going to be
working with the man and wanted to foster some trust or care
between them.
“The assassin serves Lady Luna de Whitheres first and foremost.
Nesryn has been her close guard for a while now and is a friend
I would say. I met her only briefly and my friends tell me she
is a secretive one, as Damon stated. If provoked, she can and
will strike to protect her mistress. I suppose with Lady Luna’s
forced arrangement with Malachi Hythian, she has to protect the
man as well. But does she expressly have loyalty to him? I doubt
it. If we take an action to harm her Lady, she will step in.
Harm the Lord and I think we can get away with murder—pardon my
wording. I did not mean to insinuate we would stoop so low.” He
said, checking his tone this time despite the sting the
information brought to his chest. Lady Luna’s engagement had
been...a blow that was for sure. He had only found out moments
after he had been tossed out of Luna’s life. They hadn’t really
ended cleanly, nor clearly. Eir knew he loved the woman and had
told her that expressly. But Luna had shot him down in one way
or another. Perhaps it was her ignorance to the feeling, her
loyalty to her family duties, a true lack of love for the drake,
or her visions that pulled her further away from him...Either
way it hurt to talk about her so calmly and cleanly, like he was
twisting that knife further and further into his chest. But he
would not and could not fail Gabrielle. She was the only hope he
had of fixing things so that Luna would...
He let his thoughts drop, clasping his fingers together to hide
his distress. “Do you have more questions about Malachi that
Damon and I may answer my Lady?” He asked the be sure he wasn’t
missing any details she wanted.

Perhaps deception is what she prefers.. Eudithe leaned back,
adjusting her hair and ensuring the coverage of her breasts.
Deception does not gain followers.. wrath does. She thought once
more while listening to Gabrielle. She had been known as quite
the.. peculiarity when it came to her ability to punish those
who showed an affront to Eudithe or the Church.
She crossed one leg over the other, and smiled at the thought of
being feared. Her reputation did, indeed, precede her.. and she
quite enjoyed the lavish thought. "With an arrow imbued with
ember?" She assumed, proposing a rhetorical question.
Once more this.. Luna woman was mentioned by Eir. Her eyes
glimpsed toward the drake, narrowing suspiciously. There is a
strange fondness with this Luna woman.. She thoughtfully rambled
to herself. Could this possible exploitation become a hindrance
for Lady Gabrielle? A treat is only a delicacy until it rots
your teeth, afterall.

Gabrielle listened intently to the information. The assassin
would pose no problem, then, they just wouldn't target Malachi's
wife. If Luna de Whitheres posed no threat to Gabby, then Gabby
would pose no threat to her. Through their explanation, she
watched the fire dance around the coals, flickering and casting
its heat and light into the room.
Finally, she smiled. "He's married, yet he's a flirt and a
womanizer? Let's see if we can't get some scandal going on,
then, shall we? If we can't dig up evidence of adultery, then
we'll have to make it ourselves. I hesitate to be caught in the
middle of such an affair, as this cruel world of ours would
place the blame at my feet more than his, but if we could get
another agent into his bed, that would be an ideal situation. We
can discuss that at length later, though.
"For now, I wish to learn more of my weaker rival. 'Lady' Asena
Valda, yes? I hear she wields the Ember as well. What
intelligence do we have on her and her band?"

Damon quirked a brow at Gabrielle and sighed at the thought of
an affair, "I might have someone who could fill in as
seductress... though... I hesitate to work with her simply due
to her... state of being."
A woman cursed with the Hex, one who will live twice. Damon was
not sure if the vain Elf might fall for one with such an obvious
flaw- the woman's eyes he remembered were scarred and cloudy
with their uselessness. Though, the rest of her figure and
appearance was something to behold- he flushed at the thought of
what he'd just admitted to himself.
"I shall send word to her if you wish?"
Damon rolled his shoulders to relax his muscles as Gabby
inquired into Asena's state. He raised a brow as Gabby called
her 'weaker' simply because he had heard rumour of her great
Magis and prowess on the battlefield. But yet again... maybe
this wasn't the power Gabby was afraid of.
"A member of the Nomadic Warrior's Guild, Ma'am is nothing to
discard as 'little threat.' She is known for her strong Heli
magis and battle prowess."
Damon felt the tug at the need to defend this lady.

​
Eir’Asa was confident in his statements and let the room react
accordingly. Eidith’s answer to his statements made his eyes
flick to her with a look of challenge. Did she have something to
say over Luna? She did spare him such an odd look...He dared the
Humana to say a word with a smirk, his amber eyes fixated on
her. While he was hardly as bulky or intimidating in this form,
Eir knew he could slice her apart with his words if she spoke
ill of Luna. She was not a point of argument for him that he
could be rational or removed about ever.
At Damon’s offer of a lead for possible subterfuge, Eir gave a
toothy smile. “Oh, that would be delightful.” He almost purred
are the idea of Malachi being destroyed by his own urges made
him feel giddy almost. Maybe he could slip the woman some coin
to poison the fool when this was all done. For now, Gabrielle
was right and he needed to set aside his petty anger to allow
them victory at the hands of their dealings.
He let his attention go back to Gabrielle when she asked about
her next opponent. Damon clarified Eir’s own thoughts on Asena’s
power. She wasn’t necessarily a trifle they were dealing with...
“Asena Valda may have decent handling with a sword and Heli
Magis that may pose a threat of physical harm if stirred, but I
would not worry over her political abilities, Lady Gabrielle.
She was born a peasant and remains just as brazen in her
dealings as one would expect of a sell-sword. She is a fumbling
child in this arena and can be torn apart by her naivety.
Although her rallying cries can be viewed as awfully patriotic,
her lack of tact and clever planning will see her crushed by
opponents of quicker whit and planning. However, those she keeps
in her council do present certain challenges.” He stated as he
pushed some hair from his eyes that had fallen from moisture.
“Asena’s advisors include a man named Melrose. I do not know his
last name, but he worries me. People report being unsettled by
him and he is supported by wealthy backers. Her second advisor,
a Lord Septimus is newer to the political games but not one to
denounce as a fool. I have heard tales that he can hold his own
and will likely stay close to her as a compass to guide her. As
for a guard, there is a pauper named Elissac that has some
connection to Melrose but I see him as a brute with no real hope
of being a threat. Hmmm, ah yes and Farren, a man not much is
known about but I do suspect he has ties to information and is
skilled—perhaps an assassin as well? I apologize for the lack of
information, but it seems he intercepted some of my little ears
before they could find out more.” He stated though his brow rose
some at Gabrielle. “How do you plan to approach Asena my Lady?
How can we help?” He asked since he was sure she had a plan if
she had a plan for Malachi.

A wicked smile stained Eudithe's appearance as she noticed the
male's sudden spike of tension at her thoughts. Oh? Does he seem
to understand that I am catching on? She silently smirked,
keeping her posture and showing just the ferocity in return in
his direction. She was enjoying this friendly antagonism.
Her eyes switched to Damon, however.. before she stood and
finally decided to speak on what should be spoken to. "Dare I
say, gentlemen, that your hearts hold threads to another?" She
scoffed, glancing at Gabrielle. "There is only one woman that
should hold your threads, and that is Lady Gabrielle. Do you
believe a creature inflicted with the Hex will truly become of
benefit?" She questioned, glancing to the door to her right.. as
a woman of Liphili; she had ideals that may have bled into that
of the Puifica even though she viewed them as.. too monogamous.
"Malachi is an Elvilettic wordsmith with a woman lacking in all
but divine sight. Asena.. well." She snickered, "throw a
helpless child in her direction and she'll surely be distracted.
However, with support from a.. Dweller. That is sure to become a
downfall, my Lady."
She glanced in her direction once more. "I've plenty to dispose
of the rest, but I challenge you to think of a strategy to focus
on grasping the attention and fear of the larger majority. They
are your focus, no?" She offered.
