Draiss shrugged, not sure why they hadn't, but he knew that V'elen had been serious when exchanging with Reekeshas' taint. He opened his mouth, and then froze, a look of confusion, before V'elen's presence echoed through the room.<em>Lets stop using pawns. And lets make this painful so they can maybe understand.</em><br/><br/>Draiss's mouth opened in a silent scream, his hand flashing up to his throat, before he fell out of the chair, the clear crystalline growth sprouting far faster than they had before. He felt the world dropping out from 'under' him, as V'elen passed by him on the way 'up.'<br/><br/><hr/><br/>V'elen picked itself up, and ignored the females, instead taking this moment of total control to sample the world as fully as it could. No flesh nor clothing adorned its form, only clear crystalline growths, flecked with black, that were only vaguely humanoid in arrangement, and a large, golden crystal instead of a face. After a moment of twisting and turning, and breaking one of the larger growths off its shoulder, it turned to the females, and tilted its head.<em>Because that would be... annoying/juvenile/weakness shown.</em><br/><br/>Its 'head' tilted down, staring at the chair Draiss had been using, before the chair dissolved, replaced by a crystal growth that formed around the already sitting V'elen, though none had seen it go from upright to sitting.<em>You have... issues/questions/problems/doubts. I/We will explain.</em>
