Devaguea strived to ignore the very animated conversation Sena was having with the giant bee, far more interested in that conversation than any she had had with more 'intelligent' races, and turned toward to Nyrissa. "Big assumption that. But I had plans for expanding south into the River Kingdoms. A lot of that land is unclaimed wilderness with random holds and towns scattered about it. If one person with a plan and enough resources could take it, they could turn it into a bastion of stability, peace, and prosperity.<br/><br/>"From there, I don't know enough to answer more, because that is going to take at least a decade just to get to the southern border, let alone western one. I doubt the other nations would be amused at a new power growing that rapidly, but if they don't kick us, I plan to leave them alone. Though the biggest issue I see is getting enough people trained and loyal to keep the nation together and not splitting off just because they are a distance from the Capital. The teleportation circles will help with that."<br/><br/>He paused before giving her a slight smile, almost a smirk. "Or do you mean between us? I will admit that your form is quite pleasing to the eyes, as is your apprentice and sisters, especially now that you aren't looking quite so... pointy. But we barely know each other, so I plan to spend some time getting to know you. Unless you want to head back into the First World to try your luck again. Having an ally to hold the section of the First World that is adjacent to my holdings would be very reassuring, means I don't have to worry about that flank. But I would definitely like to spend some time visiting."
