He simply nodded at her 'reveal' that she had been spying. "Very well, I will concentrate my immediate efforts on her friends and allies. See if one of them threw her to us to try and conceal themselves."<br/><br/>He went back to his two sphinxes, and gave Night a shrug as he resumed their earlier conversation. "As I thought, spying. If someone tries to force you two to do that, please let me know. I can't help you if you don't tell me before you have to. Earlier IS better in that case. Don't try to 'infiltrate them,' don't 'play along,' else I might have to let you get punished."<br/><br/>He was discussing the successful vault raid with some of the other Fae, having kept an eye on Night and Star, when the Queen spoke about her surprise. He nodded to his conversation partners, before moving to stand beside Night, one hand on her arm to keep her from doing anything rash. He watched the Queen effortless crush the gem in her hand, and listened carefully, and watched even more so. It was utterly fascinating, and he could easily understand, now that he was outside looking in, why he couldn't even attempt it again, even had he wanted to. He shook his head slightly to clear his thoughts, right before the Queen called him forth, and silently cursed. Only the Fae knew what they were making of his slight head shake immediately before she called him forward.<br/><br/>He stepped forward, and gave her a quick salute. "Yes ma'am?"
