(*tucks sophie's name infront of his on the room name* I swear, i did not forget....)

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:01:23 AM)
**Rohan, dressed in a navy suit and overcoat looks like he might have come from the opera. He knocks on the apartment door, Esmae at his arm**

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:02:49 AM)
*James was dressed in jeans and a tank top, it was his usual at home or out of work attire. He moved towards the door and pulled it open.* Rohan, Esmae, welcome come on in

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:03:04 AM)
(Damnit you made me delete my post James!)

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:03:37 AM)
(im sorry my dear, hehe)

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:03:44 AM)
**Rohan nods and heads inside** James... keeping well?

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:03:47 AM)
*Moving towards the apartment with Rohan, Esmae couldn't help but nibble the inside of her cheek as he knocked. She wore a rather stunning Lace number that plunged at the front and at the back gave a nice triangle of flesh. Her hair pulled back in a soft of Greek Goddess type arrangement with a flower in one side. Looking to James she smiled softly, waiting for Rohan to enter before she did*

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:03:52 AM)
*Sophie peeks over James' shoulder wearing a faded denim mini skirt and rose pink singlet, the apartment insanely warm and speaking of a large power bill ahead in James' future as she smiles brightly at the two.* Hey there.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:05:18 AM)
**He looks to Sophie and winks** Evening Soph

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:06:38 AM)
Did everyone want a drink? *She looks between the three in question.* I'm fairly certain I can find something.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:06:59 AM)
Ohh Ive been doing great lately, well, outside politics life has been wonderful *He grinned and patted Sophie on the side as he turned and moved into the apartment further, moving towards the living room*

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:07:47 AM)
Ice water would be great here.... *he looks to James* I didn't think we could avoid teh subject of politics too long

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:09:07 AM)
*She nods and heads into the kitchen, her feet bare against the carpet as she calls back over her shoulder.* It was the reason for the meeting Usul, -not- that we don't like seeing you but things have hit crisis point.

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:10:20 AM)
*Esmae gently took her head to Sophie, that smile of hers still remaining on her lips as she quietly obsevered Sophie and James in their "Natural" habitate*

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:10:33 AM)
**he smiles to Esmae and holds out a hand, indicating she shouls take a seat**

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:10:45 AM)
We can avoid it a few moments longer though, tell me, how are things going with your lovely new friend. *He slid down onto the couch to sit, there were several other seats around the room. He gave a smile to the others*

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:12:06 AM)
*She blushed softly, pushing a lock of hair behind her ear. Taking Rohan's hand she squeezed it gently before perching herself on a seat rather lady-like for the usually semi Tom-boy*

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:13:49 AM)
**he smiles though adresses james without a look to the girl** Esmae's education continues. It is my intention that she become something of a herald as I induct further numebers to my own mortal court. **he glances at her and smiles warmly** Esmae has both hidden strengths and adapts quickly

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:14:11 AM)
*Walking back in juggling a ice water for Rohan, scotch for James and wine for herself Sophie hands out the drinks with a smile speaking softly to Rohan as she hands his drink to him.* Can we talk freely?

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:15:33 AM)
Aye, She will learn and she will prepare, or she will perish. Esmae has the strength to bear this position

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:16:11 AM)
**takes the drink and raises it in thanks**

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:16:18 AM)
*He stood back up when sophie juggled drinks coming in and took his from her to ease the burden, before he moved back into his seat* Thank you dear.

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:16:41 AM)
*She blushed softly once again, her gaze lowering a little as Rohan both praised and warned her once again. Her hands held one another, though she remained silent in her observations as tpo was gettiing ready for work*

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:17:00 AM)
*She nods, a reassuring smile given to Esmae as she moves to take a seat next to James one hand unconsciously resting on his thigh as she looks to Rohan.* We went to see the Tyrant regarding the General.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:18:40 AM)
**he nods, taking a seat beside Esmae, one hand lightly on her thigh** I can assume it did not go as you intended

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:20:08 AM)
*Curling her legs underneath her Sophie sips at the wine in her hand, feeling apparently no need to stand on ceremony or be formal within her present company.* No, not -nearly- as well as intended. James spoke with her longer than I but... the outcome is unexpected.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:21:15 AM)
*He smiled and slipped an arm around Sophie before looking to Rohan as they talked* Not quite as planned, no, the issue is being turned over to the Lord Harrier to be judged as to whether Derek will remain in command or not.... I have a feeling despite how they dislike eachother, the Lord harrier will side with derek on the sheer fact he is the current Lord General

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:22:30 AM)
*Listening closely, Esmae's features frowned gently, before she looked curiously to Rohan. Perhaps's she's heard something wrong... or something*

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:22:42 AM)
*Sophie nods the strawberry blonde hair slipping forward and over one side of her face.* In order to protect the security of his own position he won't set down a precedence that a ministry can overthrow their leader.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:24:10 AM)
I see. Considering this ... difference between us is known, Just killing Derek would be premature but not out of the question. It may prove wise to let him have his victory, only to have Maxim kill him

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:26:20 AM)
*She smiles a little, her lovely voice gentle as it speaks although the force of the elohim within started to break free and an almost choral undertone began to touch her words, her dark eyes starting to speckle just a little with flecks of green.* Usul, each elohim life is precious, none should be claimed for frivolous reasons, we cannot forget the true threat... the host that shall return. Besides the Tyrant considers changing her mind with regards to Maksim, may wiser heads prevail on that issue.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:28:07 AM)
Yes well killing him may have to happen, but at worst we will send him back to the pit, to be allowed to crawl back out when he has had time to think over his own stupidity. But I do agree that option will be a final resort in this. But, If it comes to it, I am prepared to withdraw whole sale from the ministry itself.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:28:40 AM)
And I say to you Liaphon, that would you go to this threat with Derek as your war leader? Or Jaqueline as your capatain?. **he looks to james and thinks on that a moment**

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:30:05 AM)
*She nods and looks to James.* As your retainer I shall of course follow your lead Sa', but the possibility still exists that they will deny our right to withdraw. *Her eyes turning to Rohan she shakes her head.* Nay Usul, but there are times for words and thoughts and politics and time for action and blood and cries of death. Let us follow the first road to it's conclusion before we embrace the second.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:31:46 AM)
Sa'Rashiel. They may well order that Derek remain. If so, why not challenge him rather than set away?

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:32:31 AM)
*She sighs leaning forward to place her wine glass upon the table before leaning back and against James.* He won't accept a challenge Usul, I think he knows he will lose it.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:34:52 AM)
We already challenge his right to lead, and do so publically, what is more embarassing anyway than for a generals soldiers, to walk away from them, refuse to fight for them, what good is a lord general with nothing to command... If we walk away, they will come to us, and ask us to return, they need us three more than they need him. Besides we all know Derek is a fool child and would turn from battle.

Esmae Daniels (Jan 24, 2011 6:35:14 AM)
*Esmae sat and listened, her hands in her lap like a good little thrall but tpo really has to run before she's uber late for work! >.<*

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:36:45 AM)
*She nods repeating herself in that gentle compelling voice.* If they allow us to walk away. I still believe that we should all three meet with him, speak to him, attempt to convince him how poorly this inquiry will not only reflect upon him but the lions as a whole.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:37:48 AM)
Okay, though it burns me to jkust walk away from him in this, I will support you if you choose to walk. But I will want my pound of flesh in time... **he looks to Lia** he will not just stand aside, in fact it is the only act so far that earns him at least some credit

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:37:57 AM)
though for the wrong reasons

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:38:52 AM)
Perhaps if faced with all three of us at a private meeting he could be brought to see the futility in attempting to hold onto something which he has in truth already lost.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:41:01 AM)
You speak as though you want to save from hurting him, and yet bruising his pride in this fasion would be worse than death

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:42:16 AM)
Usual I want to save him, us, the lions as a whole from going through this ridiculous public process. It does none of us any good, it affects the standing of us all and the ministry as a whole.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:42:40 AM)
We can try it, if nothing else try asking him to step aside, give him one chance to do so.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:44:11 AM)
**nods** What is the likely stand of the harrier if we abandon the Lions though?

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:44:39 AM)
Pride will overrule common sense in this.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:47:47 AM)
Many of the current Pentarchy are too prideful for their own and our well being... Most I believe were not even knights in the time before, and suddenly are elevated to lords, they cling to what they now covet

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:48:34 AM)
*She nods.* The greater picture is lost to them, the great threat that faces us ignored as they have their eyes fixed purely upon their own personal ambitions.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:50:20 AM)
The more I think about it, the more I think that the best course is that we allow Derek to have his say before the Tyrant or the Lord Harrier with the three of us. If he rules that we shouls stand in service we accept and when the time is enough passed, and he has done nothing to repair his standing as leader, we return him to the Abyss. If we stand down from the Lions, it will be a long walk back into service, let alone standing. Think on that at least. That way, Derek gets the period of Grace that Liaphon so dearly wants to give him

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:55:00 AM)
I still say that we speak to Derek alone, in private, and attempt to appeal to whatever pride and honour remains within him and ask him to step down.

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:58:31 AM)
(Guys I'm getting tired, I may have to scoot)

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:58:33 AM)
Fine, we will compromise between the two, we will speak to him, give him his chance to step aside with dignity, if it does not work, we will wait a couple months, do nothing for him, then we will send him packing.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:58:33 AM)
If that is what you wish lia..... though If we turn from the courts service, we look to stand apart and make a possible enemy of the Tyrant and her supporters. The crisis of action then would be far more severe. Choices would then become simply civil war, or not.

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 6:59:21 AM)
(I gotta get ready for work soonish too, we can always talk more later since you are sleepy, hehe

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:59:33 AM)
*She and as a compromise is found.* It is agreed then? We speak with Derek and if he does not step down allow the hearing to proceed. When he remains in the position we stay as Lions and work against him until he either resigns or we orchestrate his death.

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 6:59:46 AM)
(She nods even!)

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 6:59:47 AM)
**Rohan stands** Then we are agreed .. we speak to Derek as soon as possible

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 7:00:13 AM)
**thinking - and then kill him**

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 7:00:39 AM)
(lol *hugs* Night! I threw a post of the lions forums for derek to come meet us)

James Laurence (Jan 24, 2011 7:00:59 AM)
Together though, not seperate when we meet with him. I will caution against any of us meeting with him alone, he is backed into a corner, and alone he may well try to kill us now.

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 7:01:35 AM)
Let him try **he smiles without humour

Rohan McAllister (Jan 24, 2011 7:01:50 AM)
((okay see you kids soon, lets do this thing))

Sophie Willows (Jan 24, 2011 7:02:00 AM)
(Good night!)
