Dardanos steadily approached the snow queen before stopping only a few meters away from her, "You assume correctly, Neiva," he spoke as a response to her question. For a moment he looked beyond the queen towards the area where the other presence had been attempting to hide, smiling slightly as he knew exactly who it was that had come to look upon the meeting though he continued on as if nothing was there. "I would like for you to join me inside if you would be so kind, as there are many things I would like to discuss with you. You can reject if you want but, as the tides of war are ever so close to erupting onto these lands, it would behoove you to join me during these times of peace. As I stated with the initial invitation, I mean you no harm during your time here and will ensure your safe return once we are through talking."<br/><br/>With that, the master of darkness walked back towards his tower and opened up a portal that would take both he and the queen into the meeting chamber of the castle. Once the portal was stable he gestured for the queen to go through first and he would follow behind her but did not want her to think of it as some kind of trap so he decided he would go in first to show that it was safe. While on the other side of the portal he called out to Neiva, "Come with me, your highness."
