Stillwater
Djinni turned to him with a look of sweet exasperation, and he shrugged helplessly with a smile. As though they had had this silent conversation a million times, easily falling into her little story. Not for her sake, certainly. But if he were to be stuck here, perhaps it would at least help him in some way with these vicious locals. And vicious they were, as an intriguingly haughty female stepped forward.
The smile he gave her was genuine as she spouted out a blast of heated words. Her shrapnel dug everywhere except into him. She was brutal, and demanded his full attention, so much so that he didn't notice the black stallion come to join her until he was at her side. He was immediately wary of him, though he hid it. The man was clearly a fighter sort, a warrior of some kind or something. But surprisingly, he didn't offer himself up for any of that. Pity, that would have made Stillwater's job insurmountably simple. It seemed the job would fall to him after all. Sort of.
Well, perhaps he could persuade the man and put him to use. Time would tell.
His eyes turned to the newest member, finding her standing still as though frozen. Then suddenly she jerked and was at Arrya's side. Weird.
He was right, this meeting was as boring as the last. More so, even. He shifted his weight and sighed quietly, wishing he could be elsewhere. His skin prickled with the number of people in one place, twitching. Always a solitary creature. He'd very much like to be that way now, alone in a cavern of perfect darkness. Maybe a trickle of water bouncing off the walls. He idly wondered if Djinni could make one here for him as he ignored everyone present, if she had that sort of power, though he wouldn't bother to ask. Wouldn't she just love to think he owes her for something else, wicked woman.
go down with me, fall with me, lets make it worth it
