-Armok makes a face, then shakes his head- It isn't something I want to talk about, bascha. -He offers her his hand, tentatively- I would ask you... to fight with me. But that wouldn't be fair. So know this--- if you stand against me, it will not change my feelings for you.

Rose shifted on her feet. She didn't like choosing sides. It always ended badly for her. "I don't know if I'm going to be choosing sides."

-He smiles, faintly- I pray that is true, for your sake. And for my own. -Armok winces at the sound of an explosion outside of their bunker- It sounds as if we've had our first deserters. Or perhaps our first wave of reinforcements.

Rose chewed on her lip and glanced up as she heard the explosion. "It's Sanctus." Course she knew. Mental signatures for the win.

-Armok nods, then turns to face some of the soldiers- Send a patrol after him. If you catch him... shoot him.

Rose blinked. "Woah woah, wait. What? Shoot Sanctus?" Um yeah Rose. That would be war.

-Armok turns to face Rose, a hard expression on his face- Shoot him in the head, and leave the corpse.

She shifted uncomfortably. "I'm going to end up having to pick a side, aren't I?"

-He smiles at her sadly- I certainly doubt Kat will approve of you being here, bascha.

-He nods, and kisses her gently- Go. Get out of here, and don't stray far from the base.

She returned the kiss and bit her lower lip again. "Okay." She opened a portal. "No dying, kay?"

-Armok looks at her for a minute... then wraps her in his arms, kissing her passionately before setting her through the portal. He steps back, then slams his fist through the stone wall-

Rose soon found herself back in the base, her own portal closing in front of her. She didn't like that as her answer. She clenched her fists tightly, the pressure turning her knuckles white before she turned on her heel, folded her arms and walked down the hall towards her room.

Kane was in the base... perhaps in a hall... maybe with in sight... <<...
He obviously had no com link so this war of the SC that Armok started was news to him. He was still around the base... poking at lights... trying to talk to the TV... The collar had gone off stand by. He saw Rose and stood to greet her. What he'd get in return is anyone's guess.

Rose reached where Kane was. It took a moment for her to actually notice him. She was lost in her own thoughts. She glanced at him and tensed instantly. She took a slow even breath before speaking. "What happened between you and Armok." It wasn't a polite question. It was a calm demand. For now. D:

Without as much as a hello Kane could tell she had been with him first... there was no point in sugar coating it, so he began his half of it all. "Many years ago when Darkmoor was at it's pinnacle and my country of Nhycia was in it's erecting stage the powers of both came together to negotiate terms of how things would go for two the neighboring countries. The Brothers Everhate and my father and his delegates came together to discuss their offerings to a new generation of peace. Knowing that they were a band of tyrannical men if they wanted, of course we gave them everything we had to offer, but none enticed them more then our magics. Our most seasoned of arcane masters have perfected the art of necromancy, and not only that. Have advanced it. Armok himself gave no attention to the concepts... but his brother was intrigued by it. Our ability to raise the dead and to empower the living with the souls of the deceased had made him a constant patron. He'd bring his conquests and have our leaders infuse the souls lost and put them into his life force. What we didn't know was how addicting it had become for him. Our leaders under Armok's advisement were told to cut that habit... so we did. When His brother came with his last conquests and was denied he came to an up and coming necromancer to do the job... and like a fool and to desire not to start anything between the two nations... he accepted the task. I don't have to tell you what happened next... just the results... When he heard of his brother's death Lord Everhate, now an only heir to the throne, thought our leaders defied him and torn his brother's soul from his body out of malice. The cowardly necromancer who did the deed never fessed up to protect himself from the laws of his country... and I don't have to tell you who that ended up being." He shook his head. "For years Lord Armok had all but disappeared... why now?..." He put his hand to the wall. "Now he had his vengeance on every Nhycian... all but one I guess." He looked at her and to the ground. "This war is not yours..." He closed his eyes. "I will not have it... take me to him now... I will let him do what he needs to do and return to good graces with your clan leader."

Rose listened, slowly calming herself down. She had been livid when Armok put her back through her own portal. But she was slowly coming down. "I hate politics." She really did. "Well, Armok has issued a full out Civil War against Kat and the Shadow Clan. So we have no choice. I can't take you to him. I'm generally not allowed to leave the base at the moment."

He shook his head.
"For what he took of mine, of course I would accept to face him in the battlefield, but I didn't want him to drag you in it. Why did he send me here? Was I part of something greater?" The thought that he was bait hadn't crossed his mind. "Was he just checking to see how far he could push before your leader, Kat scratched back?" Too many questions to answer for a simple architect. "I apologize in advance for any trouble... but that's all I could do right now. I will fight valiantly for this clan, until I answer for my sins against him or he answers for mine." He kisses a small tattoo on his hand of a mother hen and her chick and sighed. "But now... I live while I still am able. Please... join me for some Iced Cream." He smiled.

Rose just shrugged at his questions. She honestly didnt know anything at this point. "I'll come with you, but I don't generally eat ice cream." Or anything at all really
