There was a sudden movement amongst the troops and Kallysta perked up at it.  She was several yards away when she saw her consort stride out of the tent that was turned into the war room, the carrying the fae girl like she was weightless.  Being the closest thing he had to a wife, one would expect sheer jealously to cross the demoness' lovely features, but amusement made her silver eyes sparkle - amusement that her consort didn't have more women around him; Kallysta knew it would take more than one to slake the lusts of the Demon Lord.  Kallysta did, however, sigh at her watch being interrupted; like her consort, she wasn't fond of interruptions but this one seemed important.<br/><br/>Not wanting to catch him off-guard, but also likely knowing that Krathen already was aware of her presence, Kallysta did a playful manipulation of energy around them, letting the wind breeze towards the Demon Lord in just the right way to caress his cheek in the most teasing of caresses.  She also knew he was aware of her lack of jealousy but made that all the more obvious as the energy also curled just slightly around the fairy girl riding her lover, just enough to add to Anastasia's pleasure before calling for her carriage to follow the troops.  She didn't ask what the plan was - she already knew.  At least, she knew what she needed to know; the rest, she would find out at the Root.<br/><br/>Her plans in following the troops were interrupted, another scout coming up to her and informing her that there was another group heading towards the camp and, now that Krathen was gone, they didn't know who to turn to for guidance.  Well, there went Kallysta's idea of following the troops and seeing how the plant soldiers fared out in a skirmish.  Or did it... as she stepped out of her carriage, she quickly scanned the camp site, seeing that Anastasia only left with a few of her troops, leaving plenty for Kallysta to work with.  "Set up a defensive perimeter," she let her voice carry, the soldiers giving her a half-salute and scrambling about to follow orders; she sent a few of her personal guards out ahead to scout for more information - Kallysta wanted to know if the other side would be planning a skirmish now that their camp was vulnerable and that the Demon Lord was heading towards the center of the Root.<br/><br/>Striding into the tent that Krathen had set up, Kallysta leaned over and eyed the map so she would have a better idea of the terrain and better prepare the troops, should the other side decide a dual strike.<em>The city had to be protected.</em>She saw that she could set up a few archers, should they decide upon a skirmish, and still have plenty of soldiers to defend her and the camp.  What made her frown, however, was the fact that there were several caves in the area - caves would be too dangerous for her scouts to safely look into and come back with any worthwhile information; she was aware that her scouts knew better than to endanger themselves by doing so, but not having information about those caves... well, that could be a possible problem.  "We can't overextend our troops," she muttered to herself, looking over the map.
