Ace twitched, he could feel the insanity bubbling beneath the surface. Was this girl stupid or something? She had just been told that they were trying to get help from the other countries. He wanted to rip this girls head off.<br/><br/>Venatrix studied the girl in front of her. Her bright red eyes were trained and held a look of thought. They didn't turn people away, nor did they kill them. It wasn't like anyone could talk about the Jokers. They had their secret keeper.<br/><br/>"So you think you could help us? You make my people sound incompetent. And yet you do not even realize you speak of yourself as well. I do not only consider the Jokers my people. All who reside within my mother's kingdom are my people. And I will fight to free them from the false queen. Getting out of Hearts is not as easy a task for our people as you think. Alice gates people leaving her kingdom. The other kingdoms do not even like people from here to enter their kingdoms. I Jace contacts, but one has disappeared, something he is good at. So explain, rabbit, how would you help us?" Vena knew it might seem harsh, but she was fiercely protective. She could tell that Ace was having a hard time.
