Athena didn't respond for a while but eventually came out of her room and rubbed her eyes.<span style="color: #0000ff">"Okay... I guess I'm a little hungry." </span>There was a large crease on Athena's forehead and judging by the drool she was wiping away from her lip she had fallen asleep reading.<span style="color: #0000ff">"Where are the hatchlings? They're always around when there's food."</span><br/><br/>Vyre nodded and got off the bed.<span style="color: #5900b3">"Nope, you can deal with Order for me. She likes you more than me, but for now I'm going to go get Inaara's laundry done. I'm trying to get back on her good side and maybe in her pants again." </span>She headed off to gather Inaara's dirty bedding with a soft hum.<br/><br/><span style="color: #ff0000">"It'll be fine. A  quick needle into your abdomen, a little material will be extracted, and you'll be in and out in less time than it takes for you to summon a succubus." </span>Animus shrugged and make some minor adjustments to the plan.<span style="color: #ff0000"> "Ibara will be dead soon. I'll give you the respect you deserve, a better rate of pay, and you would only need to be present for the occasional meeting. Otherwise you would be paid for... doing whatever, or whoever, you fancy. And I appreciate your insight on various projects such as this. As for Lordareon, I'm simply going to buy it from them. Just as Nalo nearly bought Silvermoon. And they have no standing government to formally oppose me, so the lands will be merged with ours."</span>She shook her head and looked across the room as Nalo walked in<span style="color: #b30000">. "No, you don't. But Darnassus does and much like my sister runs Silvermoon, I run Darnassus."</span>Nalo sat down beside Jasmine and folded her arms<span style="color: #ff0000">. "We're going to take out a loan from Darnassus to pay for the work. But also to build credit and trust with them. Between us three, it's all political theater, Nalo knows I can simply take what I want from who I want and only an Eternal can stop me. But it'll appear as an act of good faith between our isolated cities."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
