Alyana watched in silence as Maxis destroyed the betrayer.  She raised an eyebrow as she saw that he was immune to silver, and reached up to her own necklace, made of pure, beautiful silver.  The brooch was large and encrusted with rubies and emeralds, an onyx in the shape of a dragon in the very center.  A small, hidden clasp could be opened, and inside Alyana kept silver dust.<br/><br/>She had never seen anyone else use silver as a weapon though.  She watched as the man's eyes moved from Lisast to her, and she did nothing more to acknowledge him that raise her chin some.  She would not show the weakness of sexuality in front of the council.  She would remain cool and composed, no matter the changes in her body.  No man would ever take a hold on her, beyond that of her Master, the Lord Dracosi.<br/><br/>Alyana's eyes returned to Kara as she stood and cleaved a table in two.  She found herself agreeing with the woman, the bickering was childish and a waste of time.  As the council continued in earnest, she sighed, remaining always alert but distant.<br/><br/>As the council finally came to a close she stood, discreetly stretching each of her muscles before turning.  She was slightly surprised to find Maxis standing before her, tall and imposing.  She let one corner of her mouth pull up into a smirk, just slightly as she raised her face to him.  It was not a sexual look, it was not even playful, it was a deadly acknowledgment of him, and the dangers he presented.
