WHEN THE PLANETS ALIGN

The man would saunter quietly among the crowd until clear sights could be set upon the russet queen. His movements and mannerisms all as if there were no other person there but he and the woman yet the fascination he had once had for her had faded, his great loyalty shifted to the serpent that held both of them in her quick grasp. Yet he was at heart a diplomat and his memories of mangroves caused him concern in the wake of war. His head would turn and he would watch without seeing into the distance as Jupiter went through the mundane of greetings and updates. His crown would snap cleanly back to the woman as she spoke his name, their gazes exchanging as a curt nod would be given to explain his identity for there were many here who did not know him. His gaze would intensify and his posture would stiffen as the subject of war was approached.



In the preservation of Ludicael I urge you, Jupiter, to disregard your alliances and keep your own out of the violence. As far as I know Ludicael has not specifically been asked to partake in the war. Considering this your absence should not affect your stance with your allies. He would present his thoughts in a short and concise matter. Yet such a plan was perhaps not as simply as it seemed. You should also be aware that one of your own. A woman named Symphony. Ventured into Amenti territory to seek an alliance of healers. This was shortly after Canttina had taken the lands and the crazed alphess considered Symphony's presence as a token of alliance from Ludicael as a whole. When she learned this was not the case she threatened the pack. Such short-sightedness should not be overlooked. I am wondering if Symphony herself planned to inform you of all of this. She refused to leave even after friendly advice on my part. Her presence lead to a dominance fight between Cantinna and Medusa. It appears that Canttina is currently distracted with war business but I assume she intends to fulfill her threat afterward. I fully intend to re-take Amenti once the war is over so she should be no threat to you once everything is settled. His tone would be unwavering and stoic yet he could not help the pang of distaste that struck his features when he explained Symphony's actions. He was unsure what kind of ruler Jupiter was now for in all honesty she seemed somewhat bored with it all. He wondered what her reaction would to be to the information he had presented and watched her carefully for any sign of reaction.
