The low, dull, unceasing noise of the crowd bothered Asmodean. It was a kind of grating, organic sound that dulled his senses. There was no music in it. The cool glance of disdain around the room. There were so many people, so many variables. It was difficult to plan anything. He had to watch Lanfear carefully. To see her smiling there as they

To look at Lanfear, one would think she found the situation entirely different. She moves with queenly grace, perfect dignity, yet her smiles shine freely at those she recognises, dazzling and lovely.

But she is not just a lovely young woman, much as she looks one, and her dark, laughing eyes are carefully noting the attendees.

A cool, disdainful look from Asmodean as he stepped a bit further into the room. He was slowly acquiring the feeling that he ought to be watching the woman next to him more than those around the room.

If Lanfear needs to be in a room with Ishamael, she likes to know exactly where he is at all times. His love for theatrics makes that possible. Her eyes flicker around the room, almost seperate from a small sweet smile that graces her face as an eminent politician she has had dealings with walks past.

Asmodean nodded in agreement. Ishamael did like to make an entrance, and certainly had not arrived. The question was what the others had in mind regarding Ishamael. He did not want to be caught in the crossfire of a heated discussion.

"I know why we are here. The question is why does Graendal have all of us here?"
