KING OF THIEVES —
"She's right, Raum. It's risky returning at a time like this."
His voice came like thunder from the shadows, the rest of his muscular body following like water over rocks, or the milky way through the stars. Raum's return was always a welcome one, despite the circumstances, and the King of Night couldn't help the easy, conspiring grin that fell upon his black lips as he looked over one of his eldest crows. Raum had been just a boy when he'd found him, now he was one of the biggest threats in Novus. It was strange to see those same slim shoulders, the same cool, calculating eyes that had peered up at him when the boy had been a child - now turned all-seeing, all-knowing. Even Reichenbach questioned how Raum discovered buried secrets, hidden plans and unknown coups. He'd far surpassed what he'd been as a child, now he was capable and desired. Reich enjoyed seeing the Crows success.
"Calligo smiles when you return."
He added, proof that he wasn't going to tell Raum what he could and could not do. If Raum, one of the best damn assassins in all of Novus, wanted to visit his home, so be it. Reich turned to Mila, flicking his sharp gaze over her as he checked for any scabs or injuries, but of course she had none. Nobody could touch Mila if she didn't want to be touched, and Calligo help any who tried. While some might have considered Lavinia and her knives a bigger threat (she had a bigger mouth, too), they would have been playing into Mila's delicate, waiting hands. She was subtlety and slyness, poison that came from behind the veil of a pretty face.
"Mila"
And the tone was affectionate, fatherly.
"You met Aislinn..?"
Was his next question, curious to know what she thought of the beautiful winged warrior. Aislinn would be one of their greatest assets if it came down to war, for she was loyal and fierce, and as dedicated as every one of his Crows. He turned to Raum, raising a brow in question;
"Any news?"
