Vedaa steps back from the gatehouse as the lantern is drawn forth. "I am Iselsi Vedaa, this is a research and aid team from House Iselsi and Nexus. We are most weary having come straight from Nexus in an attempt to provide aid to your fine community. We seek shelter at a place of convenience within the protections of your walls. If it is within your power to allow us passage, we would be... most grateful." Vedaa allows his caste mark, three candles facing inward to spring forth upon his brow, the scent of woodsmoke and slightest swirl of embers near his feet all attest to his fire aspect nature.<br/><br/>Witness had enjoyed the ride, the winds had bouyed him along and he had even fantasized a moment about crushing the life from  one of the great spider demons of Vedaa's. All in all, the smirk that Luna provided the world, Witness shared as his concealed thoughts bore him through the night. Now the city of Greenhaven rose dark against the night sky, and they had been addressed. The cocky bastard Vedaa had  stepped forward, presuming to speak for everyone. When will he learn his place. Witness bore his share of Imara's weight as she stood next to him, the ride seeming to have been a bit harder on her than she wanted to admit as she leaned her weight against his palm at her lower back. Witness reviewed those present, Sky strong, silent, ready, she stood nearby watching. Crow, after a quick conference with Moonblossom had carried his strange container off to the darkness nearby, to Witness great relief. The further away that timebomb was from Imara the better off Witness felt. Moonblossom stood near Zain and Pine, though the latter of the three was distant from everyone, especially the demons, who seemed huddled to the side, the spiders flanking the demoness.<br/><br/>Imara leaned against the solid comfort of Witness. He was there, he held her, he supported her. Brother-in-arms, brother in action, Imara walked along toward the city. As they approached, she noticed that Vedaa was off to the side of the group, walking with his host, he was so far from her, brother by blood, stranger by circumstance. With a bit of push, she was able to draw Witness to the far side of the palanquin, she  just did not feel comfortable seeing Vedaa so distant. The ride had been tiring. Vedaa had asked for shelter, she dearly hoped they would allow the contingent to enter tonight.
