Wisdom in Silence arrived.<br/><br/>He arrived in a far more simple manner than Scarlet Prophet.  No funeral dirge of sweet human suffering followed him, no orchestrated symphony of carnage.  For all his mannerisms, he could have been a mere penitent wanderer, moving on foot, lacking in sorcerous locomotion other Exalted preferred.<br/><br/>The contrast could not had been more stark had either of them tried.  Male to her female, his features were, much like hers, inhumanly attractive.  Few could match it;  fewer still could hope to exceed it.  The rigors of his Exaltation had been kind, compared to others of their number.  They could still play at being human, he and Scarlet, a lie they practiced daily, as opposed to their more honest brethren, monsters exterior and within.<br/><br/>He wore armor, garbed in leathers cultured from the rare, natural shadowland creatures, edged in soulsteel, his appearance martial, collected.  Neat.  The reaver daiklaive at his back was further clue of the dangers this man could present if he wished.  For a man whom was whispered to bear the title Inquisitor, and whom was considered to be their Mistress' Loremaster, he was certainly not lacking in battle capability.  Further still, his skill with people was of a more personal touch;  he could not hope to sway and beguile the weak minds of humans with but a twitch of a finger or a carefully cultured smile, such as Scarlet Prophet bound in Chains could manage with her superhuman ease.  But an individual would find their free will stripped away under his analytical probing, their hopes and aspirations snuffed out by his power.<br/><br/>Scarlet Prophet saw him coming from far away.  He did not try to hide it, his advanced unhurried and casual.  Once they were both upon speaking distance was there any pause; neither of them had met the other until this day, after all.<br/><br/>Silence... smiled.  Brief.  Amused.  If he was mistaken, this would be rather... awkward, would it not?  "I see that you have been enjoying yourself in the time my travels afforded you, Lady Deathknight, Scarlet Prophet bound in Chains."
