Revenge would place a gauntleted hand on his face, dragging the fingers down slowly in frustration. "Valac... just stop, and listen for a minute."
"While I personally am still hesitant to work with Kail, Abby did have a point; he is still our best chance. So, here's my take on what we should do." He would look to Twyla. "Twyla, Kail seemed to appreciate you more than the rest of us; I think, as an arcane user, you likewise have more interest in Kail's studies than the rest of us. I want you to go talk to the archmage. I think Abby was making a rushed decision of..." Revenge would frown. "Letting herself be studied. In the churches, I've met many people who had to do things to get by that they internally regretted, and how much it ate away at them. Abby has had enough of that for a lifetime. That said, with the information you just gave me, Vincent... she should make an informed decision herself, not a rushed one. I want you to make sure, whatever you negotiate, that nothing invasive or painful will be used, however. Just... what's the word... Divinations?"
"As for me, I think it'd be best if I talked to Selma while that meeting is going on. In case negotiations fall through, I'd like to have a back-up plan. Kail might not have faith in her, but Vincent, you seem to. I likewise am a man of faith, and if I can't rely on it, I think I'd bring shame upon my order. Valac, I want you to come with me, since it seems you and her got along well enough."
Revenge would look towards the gate. "I'm going to go try talking to Kuori and Shayne again. A lot of my plan hinges on their answers if they're willing to play nice. Twyla, if I can get Shayne to agree to Araethos's terms, I'd like to get him to come with you. A wizard would no doubt be in awe of a more powerful archmage, and I think that will aid you. Kuori, I want to talk to Abby, and have her explain what Vincent just told us, so she knows what at stake."
He would sigh. "Of course, if either or both say no, then that changes a lot. If Kuori says no, I'll talk to Abby, and Valac, you'll have to talk to Selma alone. If Shayne says no, then Valac, I'd like you to go with Twyla so she's not alone in there - I can't ignore the fact of how quickly he began casting spells at us. I don't think that Kail realized you are Abby's bodyguard, and you were reacting in terms of your contract with her. The fact that Abby didn't call off your attack didn't help things any, but considering the tenseness of the situation, I'm sure she didn't think of it at the time. Sehanine knows I didn't. I think you should still go with Twyla, to show Kail that if he's not casting spells against your charge, you can be a reasonable fellow..."
Revenge would make sure to meet eyes with Valac before adding, "... right?", the word dripping with hostility.
(If you want to apply my Intimidate check to this, then this is where that 27 will go; otherwise, ignore).
"If they both say no... Twyla, you'll be on your own, Valac with Selma, and myself talking with Abby." He would look to everyone, before asking, "What does everyone think?" He would give more attention to Vincent upon asking that question, especially interested in his feedback.

Vincent would clear his throat. "Ahem. I know I mentioned my sister's name before... but now that I have a bit of a better understanding of this situation, I'm not sure if I condone her direct involvement anymore. I don't need my 14 year old sister getting mixed up with an evil government organization hell-bent on destroying all witness to their creation. I thought at first this might be a good chance for her to get some outside experience. Father tends to keep her cooped up in the manor, but I think this might be a bit much And... uh... don't take this the wrong way, but based on your group's behavior, I have some... reservations about her traveling with you alone. Anyways, let us go back inside. The servants will show you to your rooms."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiya would laugh again. "Hahaha, are you trying to butter me up? As for being a maid, I just kinda drifted into it out of necessity. A girl's got to eat and get a roof over her head. The pay is decent and the Araethos family takes care of us and treats us well. I can't complain at all. I get to meet interesting people too." She added in the last bit with a wink. It was about this time a servant approached from the gate with a basket with the food Shayne had requested for the outside group. "Well, I guess that's my cue to return to the manor. It was nice talking to you, Mr. Shayne."
Kuori and Petra arrive back at the camp just in time to see the servants leaving. There are three tents set up, one large one and two smaller ones. A large basket has been placed by the fire as well, filled with food from the kitchen.

"Very well, I can respect that. Well, the part about not wanting a loved one to be put in the face of danger. You're in a position to make such a call. I dare not rob you of that luxury, since I know what it's like to be without it."
Revenge would wave his hand at Vincent's request. "I still have a while to go yet before I can rest. Like I said, I'm going to go talk to Kuori and Shayne. Plus, I know what being in the doghouse sounds like when I hear it. I can't even use the 'Paladin standing watch' excuse, since she has one more capable than I to do so this evening. Have a good night, Twyla, Vincent." He would give them a polite good-bye wave, before looking to Valac. "You can tag along with this paladin or that one. You're not under my employ, so I can't tell you what to do beyond that. Vincent, I'll see him out myself if that's what he chooses."
Revenge would then begin to walk towards the gate, Valac in tow or otherwise.
