<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Theodore Von Garrett</strong></span><br/><br/>"Mother could be dead..."  Theodore starts  "I had hoped that my family woudl be safe in Lookshy.  Part of me hoped that the Empress had disappeared for good, but i guess that was too much to ask."  Theodore says as he hits the table again.<em>Your friend is holding something back.  He isn't as surprised as he should be when someone mentions they are talking to the spirit of their exaltation, doubly so when that spirit is me.</em>Merela mentions.  "He is under as much stress as I am, our home city was destroyed not long ago. Now if you don't mind Merela i could really use you to keep quiet as i sort this all out."  Theodore says in response.  "Anyways what is the plan for this trip back to Lookshy?  I can't say im excited to see its ruins by the way.  Oh and when we are around your troops i would not mention our friendship cause im willing to be that your troops would either turn me in or you have a spy in your troops that works for Linwei, Not that im doubting the loyalty of your troops.  Its just that if I was in their shoes i would do the same."  Theodore says more calmly.
