â€œAnd what if the shepherd no longer wanted to herd sheep?â€ the ethereal voice of the huntress came as she tilted her head beneath her gray cloak. She never seemed to look up or to anyone directly. She seemed to be more fascinated by the swirling amber color of the bar counter. â€œI think the people forget that a leader is an individual, just like everyone else, with their own wants and desires. Itâ€™s a very delicate process of give and take, however if the leader keeps putting everyone elseâ€™s needs before their own in all matters, it starts to hollow out your being; to only serve in this life for others and never live for yourself is a tragic fate.â€<br/><br/>She taps nails against the counter; providing a rhythmic drumming underneath the currents of whispering and conversing voices. While her eyes were shaded her lips were not. She smirked. It was unclear whether this woman spoke with wisdom, in riddle, or was, for lack of a better term, a lunatic. It was difficult to judge a person if you could not look into their eyes.<br/><br/>â€œThat seems to be the answer I get, when I ask what people want in a leader: I want a leader who thinks of the people, who fixes our problems, who makes life easy. Everyone is always looking for the easy solution to make their lives more comfortable. In this, they forget what they have and the thirst for more becomes unquenchable. Leaders arenâ€™t to make everyoneâ€™s life easier. Their job is to improve the quality of life; and the peoples view of whatâ€™s best for them; more money, luxury, comfort; is not always what the leader sees that is best for them. What about gratefulness, humility, and kindness? What if the leader believes itâ€™s more important to have a clean soul then handouts?â€ She laughs to herself softly.<br/><br/>â€œAn uprising was in the mix against Ravelyn Shentavo when she led, and yet when she disappears she becomes their savior. It is true, that humans, vampires, werewolves; every sentient being do not fully realize what they have until it is taken from them. So what happens if they get their fearless leader again? The cycle repeats,â€ she shakes her head. â€œIt always repeatsâ€¦â€ and then trails off once again tapping her nails against the countertop.<br/><br/>â€œSo who should lead the nation? Someone able to know whatâ€™s best for the people, even though they may think itâ€™s the right thing to do; someone who isnâ€™t afraid to be hated, and be aware they will be, and someone who will change this place for the better.â€ She orders another shot of vodka; this time straight. She drinks.<br/><br/>â€œAs far as the siege goes,â€ she leans forward a bit. â€œThere is one underlaying advantage we have no one seems to pick up on,â€ her cloak-shrouded eyes shift and gaze upon Talon.
