Tiaue'a
The words flew fast and furious, practically slapping Kaden across the face from where he say, slouched in his chair a desk's length from the angry Kelvic woman. Many long years of practice kept the man from sitting straight up in his chair and putting the Endal in her place. That masklike expression that covered his face was held in place with a little more effort than normal; even the Valintar couldn't keep the flash of anger from his eyes. He was Inartan, after all. They were all quite fiery.
"Are you done?" Not a single question Tia fired off was answered or given even the slightest response via body language. " Yes, I think you are." Straightening, Kaden folded his hands before him on the desk, focusing his gaze on the interlocked fingers while he spoke.
"You need to understand something that you have apparently misunderstood thus far." Still as a statue when he spoke, Kaden kept his voice hardly above a whisper, forcing Tia to listen carefully to his words. "Whether or not this was difficult for you, I expected to have been told the truth. That's saying nothing against your intentions, your skills, or the help that you have given thus far. However, could you not have helped more, had I known?" Those flashing eyes rose and pinned the woman in her seat with a silent ferocity that even with all her yelling, Tia hadn't been able to match. "I am disappointed you did not come to me sooner, but there is nothing to do for it. You will be on Night Watch every other night until Fall."
The Valintar lowered his gaze again, unfolded his hands and shuffled some papers. "Until then, I expect you to participate in hunting parties and to contribute to Wind Reach to your full ability. This includes the other duties that your fellow Endal also have to suffer through. Dismissed."
Nij
The Valintar glanced up as his door opened, a gingery brow arching in interest as the young woman pushed her way into the office.
"Please have a seat." Rising to pull out the chair across from the desk with the grace of a much practiced action, Kaden waited for Nij to seat herself before returning to his own seat. Fingers interlaced and an expression of polite interest was matched with a small smile.
"A pleasure, Nij. Are you new to the City? What brings you here?"
