The apartment is nice. Perhaps not grand, but certainly comfortable, as befits someone with a military stipend. The door is solidly locked, but when you knock, Lisara responds quickly... And vehemently. 'Are you mad?!' she says, pulling you in quickly with unexpected roughness, locking the door behind you. 'You may have done me wonders, but if anyone sees me consorting with a God in such a fashion, it will surely go hard on both of us!'<br/><br/>Velius allows himself to be pulled into the room, then places his hands gently on the Terrestrial's shoulders.  "My dear Lisara..."  He smiles softly, confidently, assured of his control over the situation.  "On the streets of this city I pass as a simple merchant by the name of Wiegraf.  The time is not yet right for my true nature to be revealed.  To the onlookers of Nexus, I am simply another ordinary mortal trying to curry favor."<br/><br/>'My... tastes in companions are rather well known. We should perhaps find a more clandestine place to meet if we wish to meet like this again.' she says, tartly, brushing your hands off of her shoulders. Clearly paranoid, but you know what they say about paranoids. 'Now, what is this about?'<br/><br/>"If you feel it necessary, I'm sure you can arrange it."  Folding his hands politely, his tone of voice shifted slightly to something more serious.  "There is rumor in the city of Terrestrials in Nexus, under the banner of the Wyld Hunt."<br/><br/>She raises an eyebrow, and nods. 'Yes. Apparently, there are rumors of some... aberration. Something new. They do not know what, but they think it may be some new form of the Solar Anathema.' she says. 'Do you have information about it?'<br/><br/>"Does this contingent of the Wyld Hunt answer to you?"<br/><br/>She laughs. ' I wish, but I'm lucky even to know about it. They do not want it known that a Wyld Hunt even is here, particularly not what it is after. No need to alarm people unduly with fanciful imaginations.' she says, waving a hand dismissively.<br/><br/>"I see..."  There is a noticeable touch of concern in Velius's voice, now.  "That is strange, is it not?  Here you are already in Nexus, already successful in hunting Anathema, and yet not put in command of the Wyld Hunt in the very same city..."<br/><br/>'I think, honestly, that they may not want anyone to know about it. It is a wild goose chase, anyway- If I were to try to attach this to my command, most likely, they would find nothing, and I would be blamed for it.' She sighs. 'Besides... Not even Anathema would be so foolish as to try to hide in Firewander's heart.'<br/><br/>"I see..."  Velius frowned slightly.  "I do not suppose you are familiar with the ritual that detected this... potentially new Anathema, are you?"<br/><br/>She shakes her head. 'From the way they behave, it wasn't even a ritual- Rituals are usually far more accurate. From the way they're acting, it's as though they are acting off a tip- Though why they would not have informed me... That I do not know.'<br/><br/>Now Velius is most unhappy.  While it is a relief to know that the Sidereals are still blind to the Green Sun Princes outside the Loom of Fate, it is most troubling to hear that someone, somehow, knows of the Green Sun Princes and is actively working against them.  Against him, quite possibly.  Son of Wrath may have more Exalts to murder yet.<br/><br/>"I would like you to use your contacts and influence to discover who shared this information with the Wyld Hunt.  That person is more dangerous than they realize."  He looks back at Lisara and smiles, letting his face and tone soften.  "As for those in Nexus, I will seek them out myself and enlighten them, both to what I am and what it is they seek.  I can only hope they are as wise as you are."<br/><br/>Always one for flattery, she smiles right back. 'Well, I'm sure they'll see sense... The world is different. We cannot have this separation between Dragon-Blooded and Gods if we hope to preserve Creation in the coming days...' she says, and considers. 'Indeed... I do not like the idea of someone trying to bypass me... I will let you know when I've found them.' She says, smiling laconically.<br/><br/>"Indeed."  Velius smiles, stroking a hand along Lisara's cheek.  "I am not so different from the powers with which you are familiar, and I hope soon to show that in the Immaculate texts.  You will be a strong ally in that union..."<br/><br/>His immediate actions already decided, Velius allows part of his mind to ponder this Terrestrial's fitness as a bride, and how to arrange the timing of such a wedding so it would not interfere with his seduction of the Dawn Sergeant.<br/><br/>Lisara's contempt of men may prove a difficulty in this seduction... But her love of power will prove a powerful sticking point. And mutual attraction is hardly necessary for a successful wedding.<br/><br/>Naturally Lisara's desires for such a wedding do not even enter into the consideration.
