Aderyn though 'so mad' was a great stretch, mostly because she did love arguing. Unfortunately Neo admitted to her words matching his original belief and it was much more difficult to argue with someone who agreed with you. Not impossible of course. "But this isn't about greater creatures. We believe in Gods, and they see more." Her lips curved slightly, "Of course if you believe some of the old ones, they claim they are gods, or were gods, so there could be room for doubt. Still it doesn't seem their skills have lessened with age. No, I reserve feeling angry for when a mere human dares question my word, my honour. Unless what you argue is that she is a greater being. Still in that case, I am right." Again her eyes sparkled, crinkling slightly at the corners, and she seemed more mischievous than angry.<br/><br/>When Rattus cut in, her lower lips made a slight pout, and she lifted one hand palm up, a gesture at Neo. "I don't about you, but I don't feel like I've used any energy, craic is not a waste." Rather she'd been happily absorbing the stress, and the fear that had spiked when Raven foolishly threatened the mages. After the magic Neo had released earlier she felt like she must practically glimmer with the power sizzling through her. A dark brow arched and she gave Rattus a superior look, "If you think your friend might get out of control, by all means leash him, but<span style="font-style: italic">I</span>realize we have a purpose. Yet you have no task and no good planning is to be done until the drone takes flight, so why should we not entertain ourselves until we need to act?" It was essentially the same argument as Neo made, if more cleanly phrased with less of a whine and more of a challenge.<br/><br/>Of course when Rattus said they had to go back to the hotel again, she rolled her eyes. Then she shrugged. She did like the fast car.<br/><br/>Islwyn's eyes moved from Neo to Rattus as they spoke about various guns and ammunition. Then he shrugged with yet another charming smile, "I only meant that a hand gun would be fine to have in the situation we plan to face, exploring a building. I always recognize a weapon for closer quarters." His smile slid slightly on the scale from sweet to dangerous. "I prefer not being too far from my target."<br/><br/>He strode along side Beth, "I'm the wrong one to ask if you want to chat about theory. I just kill things." He stroked his thumb over the hilt of the dagger at his hip and winked at her.<br/><br/>Aderyn's lashes fluttered as if she suppressed another roll of her eyes as being too undignified. One was fine, after that you were behaving like a child. So she just gave a slight head-shake directed at her brother's back and strolled after them. Best that they not be parted. "You mean that you like to pretend you don't know anything because you are low draoi."<br/><br/>Islwyn turned his palms up and laughed, "Only you say I pretend." He nodded at Rattus, "I know none like that, but if you want something destroyed, I know where to find a creature for that."<br/><br/>"He could repair and do many other things as well." Aderyn added that thoughtfully.<br/><br/>A soft snort from Islwyn answered her, "If he wished, but how would you create that wish? He would destroy. You would ask him to fix a thing, and he would eat it."<br/><br/>The statement drew a reluctant nod from Aderyn, admitting the creature would not be controlled by her.<br/><br/>When Rattus took the long way to apologizing, Islwyn said lightly, "We use that drone, wait for the moment some step outside, and use their suits. Simple enough." He sounded a little baffled as to why anyone would apologize for lacking something when it wasn't that difficult of a process to murder someone and take what you required.<br/><br/>His smile came back into appearance when Beth said is was good he asked about plans. "We have practice with these things, Aderyn and I." Know where your target was, know your ground, know your escapes. That was always the first step to getting away with anything. Only now the location of the target within the area would be nebulous. Still the map of the grounds would hopefully be true to built and give them other pieces.<br/><br/>Islwyn gave Rattus a glance and then took longer strides to settle himself in the stolen car, behind the wheel. Wrapping the fingers of one hand around the steering wheel, he tapped the ignition with his finger. Only then did he answer Beth, "Who said the human could not use magic? Or that we hunt a human? Though does it matter if they could not? Power is power. Power can be used for gain."<br/><br/>Aderyn settled herself in the same seat she had chosen before, allowing Beth and Rattus decide who most wanted to speak to her brother and sit up front. Knowing him, she immediately reinstated her shield, to keep herself from being flung about.
