Grandma wouldn’t bother trying to comfort Naoki, when she got like this, it simply was a waste of time to try and soothe her. After all, as a master of emotional manipulation, she would recognize when someone was trying to calm her anyways. Instead, Grandma would simply nod solemnly in affirmation.
“Of course I will, the fact a dragon landed in the city in such a way… Unacceptable. I will notify Ildesias as soon as I can. Although I suspect that beast was simply off his leash, it’s not like he was a small dog that would knock over a few trash cans. His master should take the proper steps to restrain him. I will tell you this though, if that dragon ever sets foot in this city again without shrinking himself and his attitude down in size…”
A dangerous look would enter Grandma's eyes, and it would be quite clear to Naoki what she planned to do if such a thing happened.

Noting the look on Grandma’s face, a small smirk breaks across Naoki’s face. She remembered the last time Grandma had looked like that, and the events that had followed. It was comforting to know that they were... of like mind regarding that impudent dragon. To think that it could threaten Kate, of all people, and get away with it! It either lacked the due amount of respect, or was simply too stupid to recognize the full implications of its actions. Whatever the case may have been, Naoki thinks, it had chosen the wrong individual to imperil.
With that small, angry smirk in place, Madame Naoki gives Grandma a short nod of acknowledgement. She decides to be content with the orders she issued, choosing to trust in the associates she chose to prevent any further incidents; at least until she could finish with her business here at The Keep Hall. Regaining full control of herself, Naoki returns to her spot on the wall next to Artemis, and folds her hands behind her back. A small glint of flame persists in her eyes, an indication of fury yet to be had. She decides to wait for Grandma to speak her piece to Ildesias before inserting herself, surrendering her position in the queue to a matter more important than anything she herself had to bring up. Such a move might also allow Grandma the opportunity to introduce her, which wouldn’t be the worst thing, she supposes.

"I believe such a thing is unlikely to happen," he assured Intaja. "As we and The Phoenix State hold no aggression towards one another, nor do we plan to take any such aggressive action against anyone unless we are directly threatened or attacked."
He let out a small sigh. "I will take your words into consideration, however if you do not have more to say I would ask you to return to your business. As you can see, quite a crowd is showing up today to meet with me. I would not like to keep them all waiting."
He looked towards the others, though not at any particular one, and nodded for them. "Hello? How can I help you?"

Grandma would walk forward towards Ildesias when he requested the next one in line approach.
“I wasn’t planning on bringing this topic up yet, as I came here to tell it to my niece.”
Grandma would point behind her at Naoki, showing Ildesias who she was speaking of.
“But I feel as I’m already here, I should notify you of a certain matter that happened in the city quite recently. A dragon by the name of Trogdor, about sixty feet long or so, was spotted in the city. First it broke into a shop, which is why I first decided to go investigate it. As I was approaching the dragon, I found it outside a clothing shop.”
“It appears someone in the shop had angered it or it was simply unstable, for it was preparing to eat someone as I approached it. If the shopkeeper hadn’t intervened and convinced the dragon to stop, I suspect it would have eaten the human in question as well.”
“The dragon seemed quite resistant when I told it the law, although it did leave the city when I told it to do so or to shrink down. Before it left, it stated its name and that it was Pharaoh Zaltos' beast. Regardless, I thought you should be aware such an event transpired.”

((Wrong account. This is an Ildesias post. Whoops.))
"This is troubling. If The Phoenix State has beasts they are allowing to roam free and attack Isranian citizens, then we will need to do something about this. We should reach out to them and ask for an explanation, or to alert them this is happening. As for the beast, if it is truly gone, we should leave it for now. If it returns, however, then do whatever is necessary. Having already attacked a citizen, it has thus proven itself a danger that needs to be kept from entering Isranian lands and if killing it is the only way to ensure our safety, then kill it we must."
Ildesias sighed. He really needed to think of ways to better prevent such things from happening again.

Intaja nodded and backed off, allowing the others to pass. She glared at Grandma's presence, but did her best to retain her composure. She sensed a great deal of anger coming from the cat-eared woman, and sensed something very, very, very, very weird about Grandma. She couldn't for the life of her figure out what it was though. At least Grandma didn't seem... hostile? Without her usual fervor, she carefully reached into her new book bag and started to magically inscribe into her book. They were simple notes and observations of what she saw and felt around her, what Ildesias had said, etc. Her eyes lit up with fear at the mention of the word dragon. Her eyes turned a solid white blue thins time. More of these terrible visions began to plague her, visions which didn't make any sense. Strange, horrific, isolated images. She also saw blood, lots and lots of blood, and fire.
But for some reason the rest of the future was clouded to her.
After actually listening to the dragon incident, she seemed rather relieved. Such a minor infarction wasn't nearly enough to start a war. And Ildesias was also right in that relations between Isra and the Phoenix State were better than ever. Everyone was happy... right?
Intaja shook her head. "I... I think I'll let myself out. You're a good man Ildesias. If anyone would know that it'd be me." She chuckled slightly and turned to leave.

“Indeed, we must make sure it cannot perform such deeds again. Hopefully if it does return, we will be able to deal with it more swiftly. With our guards on alert, this shouldn’t be too difficult. I shall be leaving again, but I’ll let you know if it’s spotted again.”
Grandma would bid Ildesias farewell and head out of the keep, she had told Naoki and Ildesias of the events that had transpired, her objective was complete.

Madame Naoki nods, waving to Grandma as she exits. She appreciated that Grandma had come to inform her personally, and that she had contributed to Kate’s aid. Naoki stands, lost in thought for another moment or so before remembering what she was supposed to be doing. With a small start, she snaps back into the moment, straightening her posture and approaching Ildesias. She performs a mild curtsy, and introduces herself. “I am Madame Naoki, owner of The Midnight Sun. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lord Ildesias.” Niceties out of the way, Naoki stands up straight, and gets directly to the point. “I have two matters I would like to bring to your attention today. The first of which, is my friend here, Cyronin the Blue.” She gestures to Cyronin, and waves him forward. “He was at one point, a distinguished member of a since-fallen country’s armed forces. He has considerable experience in the relevant fields of military command, swordsmanship, and the like. Cyronin can speak to his qualifications to a fuller extent than I can, but I brought him here because he’s looking to find a similar position. I would like to offer him into the service of the Isranian Army.”

"Goodbye," Ildesias told Inaja and Grandma, slightly concerned that the lack of time he had to formally bid them farewell would come off as crude and impolite. However, he could not afford to do so with others waiting for his council.
With that said, however, he found himself able to turn to Madame Naoki and Cyronin, who seemed eager to meet with him. "The pleasure is mine," he replied, recognizing the name of her establishment as one he had visited before. "And it is good to meet you too, Cyronin. If it is true that you are a capable soldier and commander, then it is also true that we are always looking for capable officers to join the military. Our military is made of up several legions, of which we right now have twelve. Each legion is led by a General and right now, though we have many capable ones, there are a few legions that are not led in an official capacity. If you think you might be up for such a task, then after viewing your resume I am willing to let you try."

“Excellent. The second matter I would like to inquire about is is as thus…”
Naoki pauses, taking a moment to carefully select words.
“I am interested in taking part in the decision-making process of the government. I would like to begin moving through the appropriate channels to become a member of The Ministry.”
She pauses here, waiting to see how Ildesias reacts before going any further.

"I see," Ildesias replied to Madame Naoki with a nod. "Well, becoming a member of The Assembly is relatively straight forward. There are two.. No, three main ways to accomplish that goal. The first is to be elected democratically as the official of your local district. The second is to gain a sponsor already in government, such as myself or another minister and to work from there. The third is to accept a job as a minister yourself, though that often goes in tandem with the second method."
He cleared his throat, then continued. "Do you have a plan of action in mind?"

Naoki thinks for a moment, considering the outlaid options. She certainly wouldn’t willingly participate in any sort of sponsorship or apprenticeship program. At least, not with someone who didn't already owe her a larger debt. If she owed someone like Ildesias any sort of debt, that would mean that The Midnight Sun, as a group, would also be indebted. Naoki finds herself categorically opposed to involving unwilling individuals in her business. There was an option in Wallace. He was easily manipulable enough. But she didn’t really want to be associated with that sleaze. As she well knows, first impressions are incredibly important.. And to be introduced as “protégé of Wallace”? Completely unacceptable; anyone who is acquainted with the bumbling fool would immediately form a negative opinion of her.
Alternatively, she could have Grandma sponsor her. But Grandma had just left, it would be inconvenient to call her back. And that would probably count as a form of nepotism, besides. Perhaps the best option to fall back on, but not ideal. It would be more beneficial to come into power separately, and have Grandma as an 'unaffiliated' staunch ally of her proposals, rather than being supported by one's 'mentor'.
Being elected by the district would be beyond trivial. If her memory serves, the city district The Midnight Sun is located in isn’t home to very many, and those who do live there mostly belong to two primary groups. Midnight Sun associates, and people who owe The Sun a debt. To leverage such a community to vote for her would be exceptionally easy to do. However, those elections aren’t held terribly often. And that would also appoint her as the official of the district, replacing ole’ Geoffrey. But he serves his purpose well, and she wouldn’t like to take over his duties.
That left the third option.
“I would prefer to earn a new position on the Assembly of my own merit, performing some job or service, rather than displace one of the fine individuals currently in it. I have a rather sizable repertoire of skills that might be applicable. Economics and finance, diplomacy and manipulation, reading and writing. Many of the skills I use to run The Sun would translate well, I think. Additionally, my organization has information and contacts in quality and quantities that are, quite simply, unmatched. I could very easily apply my information to the benefit of Isra and The Assembly. All of the gossip that passes within my walls also makes its way to my ears.”
Naoki waggles her ears to emphasize her last statement.

A messenger arrives in The Keep Hall, and immediately seeks out either Lord Ildesias Xen Torsal , or failing that, a military officer of some variety. She speaks in hushed tones as not to set the hall into unnecessary panic, but immediately begins to relay her message. “Pardon me, sir, but I have a message of extreme importance to deliver to Isranian Military Command. There is a massive stone dragon currently in the Norkari Mountains, rampaging about and attempting to kill travelers. The dragon is sentient, roughly four and a half kilometers in length, and matches no known identification. I come on behalf of, and am currently in communication with Madame Naoki of the treasury department, who is in the area right now. At present, the unidentified dragon is engaged in combat with three powerful individuals in Madame Naoki’s party, but we don’t think they’ll be able to take the beast down. The dragon has threatened to, and I quote, “send hellfire upon my lands” and proclaims itself as the “King of the Mountain”. I would like to request, on behalf of Madame Naoki and everyone else currently under attack over there, that The Citadel evaluate the situation, and perhaps send assistance.” (Edit: The messenger has since departed.)

[Enter from The Conjunction]
Wow. The Citadel didn't cease to amaze her. Now she was in The Keep. There were so many people here. Eating, talking, laughing. She wondered why Ildesias would have his office around here. Wasn't it hard concentrating with so many, noisy people around?
Quietly, she continued following the orb, which was bobbing up and down before her, leading her to the office.
She followed it through long hallways, after each one the noise from the hall died down a bit more, until she could only hear her own steps, echoing from the walls and a little buzz coming from the orb. Big candles alternated with small torches at regular intervals, emitting a flickering, mysterious light.
And then she finally arrived at a study looking, wooden double door. Her orb companion gave a little buzz like it wanted to encourage her. Leona kept staring at the door.
Just treat him like any other human you meet. There is nothing special about him... Only that he is the leader of one of the most powerful and influential cities around. He could probably throw me in a dungeon for the rest of my life, if he didn't like me or what I was about to say.
Slowly she raised her hand, swallowing, and knocked at the heavy door, perking up her ears waiting for any kind of reaction. Her heart was beating rapidly.

A few moments after the knocking at the heavy door, the locking mechanism un-clicked and the handle turned downwards in order to open. Behind it, a relatively spacious office made smaller by the amount of items in it was lit by a candle on a large desk and sunlight through an opened window behind it. The man who opened the door, an elven man wearing relaxed wear and with long, silver hair, gave a nod to the woman on the other side.
"Greetings, how may I help you?" Ildesias asked, giving a glance up and down to the self-proclaimed novice. "I assume someone sent you to me specifically? Probably The Conjunction, right? If the orb is anything to go by."
He held out his hand, at which point the orb flew into it and then disappeared into his skin. "Come on in and take a seat. To be honest, I welcome the distraction from paperwork. So much of it needs to be done around here, you know; certainly my own fault for insisting ledgers and documents be kept on everything."

Millianna could feel every beat of her heart and she wouldn't have been surprised, if Ildesias was able to see it, even through her leather armor. Her mouth was dry and she swallowed involuntarily. Should she bow or make a curtsey? Salute?
She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but she couldn't produce a sound, so she just nodded, following the elven man into his office. She felt the strange sensation, like her mind was disconnected from her body. It moved on it's own and she barely felt it anymore. She sat down on the chair and looked at the floor, avoiding his eyes.
Oh, heavens. What shall I do? This is so embarrasing.
She looked at him and raised a finger, indicating that she needed a moment. Then she cleared her throat.
"I was sent here..." she said and swallowed. "I was..." She cleared her throat again. "From... sorceress in the Conjunction." She coughed. "Excuse me. Young woman... sent me here." she tried to say again.
This was hell. Her eyes watered and she felt like she was about to pass out from embarrassment and anxiety. She shook her head, trying to think straight.

"Are you here about trying to get accepted as a student there?" Ildesias asked, as he made his way around his desk and sat down by the candlelight. "Well, the requirements could be considered rather strict. You see, The Conjunction is not a privately owned academy but rather a state-owned department overseeing the study and use of magic in Isra. To be a student at The Conjunction, you not only need to prove yourself talented in magical arts but you must also be willing to become a citizen of Isra and pledge your loyalty to her."
He opened a drawer at his desk and pulled a leather-bound book and a magical quill from it. He opened it to the latest page, then began to write. "What kind of magic are you capable of? Do you have any particular affinity, elemental or otherwise? "

Millianna was still trying to calm down. Get ahold of yourself! For fuck's sake.Either Ildesias didn't care or wanted to help her by not paying any attention to her freakout. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to work. She nodded her head, indicating her affirmation to his first question. As he was going on about the academy, she closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. So The Conjunction wasn't just a place to learn magic but it also oversaw the use of it in Isra. That she had to prove herself, she already knew. And she wasn't reluctant to becoming a citizen, either. That would probably just entail advantages. She cleared her throat and tried to speak. And to her surprise it worked. "Well, I don't really know much about magic. I think it is rather special, because I have never seen anyone else who could do such a thing." she answered his question about her magical capabilities. With that said, she raised her right arm and showed Ildesias the gauntlet she was wearing. They looked like any other fine-made steel gauntlet. They only had some fine silvery adornments incorporated. As soon as she concentrated herself though and filled them with magic energy, four black claws seemed to emerge from where her wrist ought to be. They grew longer until they were about 8 inches long. The claws seemed to be made of smoke, as they had no apparent form. Still, she was able to cut almost any material with them. "This is one part of my magic." she explained. "This magic also enhances my capabilities in combat. I get faster, stronger and more agile." she continued. She didn't know if it was wise to tell him, that this was probably some ancient sort of dark magic, since she only received it by agreeing to a pact with a demon. "My other magic is more elemental. I can infuse my claws with fire, lightning or poison effects. I recently discovered that I can also use the lightning magic to form an electric arc between my ... hand ... and a target." she said and quietly added "There was nothing left of him." and looked at the floor. Millianna suddenly had a bad conscience. "I don't want to brag. I came here with the intention to study under Andraste Ruana and learn about this magic so I can understand and control it." she said pleadingly. "But I was told that she is gone and nobody knows where and if she will ever come back." she added sadly.
