Kazim paced, it seemed to help him think, to walk off his frustrations and allow for some clearer thinking, and he was deep in thought, listening and welcoming the advise, but clearly in need of input. Marek's attention were on Yousef as he began to speak of what was to be done of his sister, admitting she would not likely listen to him, though he was in agreement she had spent far too much time with this man, even bringing up the mad declaration that she loved him. It was truly unfathomable how the<i>sitvati</i>could have come to believe such a thing. Rightly Kazim was dismissing it, pointing to her past with Devam, there was no replacing him not for the country, and not for her.<br/><br/>The suggestion of using Yousef's brother was a long shot, Yousef was protective, not wanting to meddle too much with family affairs, which was understandable but loyalty to the King should always come first. However Marek was in agreement with Yousef that it would be too much to ask of one still young. He knew the<i>sitvati</i>had a way of being a persuasive speaker, it was one of the reasons why she was so popular, if she convinced Sainan what she said was they truth, they would only be creating more problems for themselves. Sending the<i>sitvati</i>away certainly sounded a good option, distance between her and the prince could only be a good thing, especially if Kazim did choose to have him executed. Being rid of him would certainly help ease the headache his presence was undoubtedly creating for everyone, but it was still worrying that they could not anticipate just what the reaction would be over in Mes'Mo'Tan. They had too many unknowns, which is why the suggestion they collect information from the<i>Avezana</i>in the meantime, struck Marek as a good idea.<br/><br/>Stroking his chin in thought, Marek listened as Yousef suggested they dust off the list of suitors they had made for the<i>sitvati</i>before her captivity, and use that to keep her mind off the Mes'Mo'Tanian. Marek thought for a moment before letting out an aggravated sigh - "Love." He muttered, rolling his eyes at the absurdity of it. As if a man so accomplished in war, with hands covered in blood, could ever understand or appreciate such a concept. The soul of Mes'Mo'Tan had been sold long ago in favour of sharp blades, and a lust for blood. "I've heard in the past of captives being held so long they begin to confuse enemies with friends, and friends with enemies. I've never seen it before though." How else could they explain her involvement with the<i>Avezana</i>though? Had she simply become bored or longed for another man in her life after losing Devam?<br/><br/>"The people would want to welcome her home." He stated, believing Khlurios and its people were long overdue something to cheer about. It would give the city and much of the country a lift to hear such news. "The<i>sitvati's </i>return must be celebrated, both for the sake of healing old wounds, and to keep her mind off the<i>Avezana</i>." His gaze met Kazim's as he found himself in agreement with Yousef. "She wishes to move on from the loss off her husband - very well, we can find her a man with Khluri blood worthy of her name." She had chosen to go back to being called a Thakur, and that name demanded the utmost respect, and the best Khlurios had to offer, a Rúl could never be a match.  "Yousef is right, we revisit the list of suitors, celebrate her return, and keep her so occupied the thought of the Mes'Mo'Tanian prince does not enter her mind."<br/><br/>Which brought them to what they should do with this prince. There was too many unknowns hanging over their courses of action for Marek's liking, knowledge is power as they say, and there was much to be acquired from one who sat at the right hand of the Mes'Mo'Tanian throne. "As for the Prince, we question him, get all information we can out of him. The state of Mes'Mo'Tan forces, the state of this Rhodon's mind, and what to expect of him once he takes the throne. Then once we've gathered all the information we can obtain from him, and he serves no further use, we execute him for his crimes against Khlurios, and be rid of him." He stated simply, hoping they would they would have a better understanding of what to expect, and less problems being created from within "By then the<i>sitvati</i>should be too busy with which ever suitor succeeds in wooing her to care." If she became as stubborn as Yousef predicted, she might resist the approaches of any suitors which made it all the more important she was kept in the dark. "The<i>sitvati</i>can not know what we plan. She would resist at every turn, turning down potential suitors out of blind stubbornness."
