Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sebastet was in her office reviewing the paperwork that only she could do. Thankfully, she finally had a secretary that took care of the tedious stuff so she didn't wind up trying to set everything on fire. She really hated paperwork. But there were a few things that she had to see to, though it was all kept to a minimum.

She set aside a residency application that she was turning down then picked up another one to read it over. There were a few that applied to live in the castle or on the island and she assessed their reasons for wantng to move here. Most of them were actually Hunters in disguise, but they always screwed up the paperwork somehow and she saw through them easily. Some just wanted to show up thinking that they could take advantage of the place, easily turned down. But some were genuine and those were the ones she tried to hunt through and approve.

She signed the last one to approve it and set it in a different stack.

Then she had the special order requests to go through. Most of the orders for the island were easily taken care of by her secretary, which she was eternally grateful for. There were a few that she had to approve, though.

At least the office wasn't a mess of paperwork these days, kept neat and tidy by the secretary. Everything was now organized and filed properly. Even the weapons on one wall were kept free of dust...

And she only had to come in here once a week. Unless there was a meeting needed, then she still kept those to a minimum....

After having recieved everything from the front desk of requests, as well as anything else she walked into Sebastet's tower and over to the office that Sebastet used, and casually walked through the door and over to a second door which was for book keeping and simply waved her hand across the lock which opened immediately and simply walked in and looked around noting that Ashigaera was there working on something "Ashigaera i thought you were going to the armory to sort things out" Ashigaera glanced over her shoulder and replied "was going to until Bane asked me to make sure he got the raw silk sheets, no one could seem to remember where they were being stored so came over here to check the books" Lidia nodded and replied "well that log won't have it that information, check log four, section ten" Ashigaera closed the log she had and grabbed log four and went to the section in question and scanned the contents there and smiled "found them i'll make sure that one of the staff knows where to go" close the book after making a note of where it was being stored she hopped down from the chair she was sitting at and walked over to the desk where Lidia had sat down by and handed her a note "Bane also mentioned these" Lidia took the note and examined the contents before looking at Ashigaera and sighed "very well make sure that the appropiate people are aware of the clothes sizes also." she grabbed a list and handed it to her "do make sure you get everything done when light is up, we've got quite a few new residence, Sebastet left me a note bringing my attention of two who are staying in a room in the tower upstairs" Ashigaera looked up and replied "i see well one less resident we have to get a room for" Lidia nodded in agreement "that is true but she's a special case if i understand it, but reqardless a few things need to be addressed for them so do make sure you go see them when you can preferrably with a seamstress so that we can see about making sure clothes are readily available" Ashigaera nodded and replied "alright i'll make sure that's taken care of. anything else?" Lidia shrugged "no more than usual, we've got an armory to get sorted and i've got a list of things to sort out from the front desk, so i'll be in the office a while, so i'll be here a while" Ashigaera nodded and simply put the list away as she made her way to the door pausing when Lidia spoke up again "have you seen Sebastet?" Ahsigaera nodded "last i saw she was taking a run into the forest with a hylarr on her tail" Lidia looked confused "Lio?" Ashigaera shook her head "no, a different one, there's a note on your desk about Lio" she looked surprised and looked at her desk grabbing the note and read it, and quickly looking up from the note "when did this happen?" Ashigaera sighed and replied "you don't pay attention much, he was caught in the attack at the armory, is the only reason we've got damage weapons and armor and stuff we don't normally keep" Lidia sighed and nodded "very well, when you see Venessa make sure that she heads up there and has that stored away with the others, also have Farrow collect a couple of men to collect the damaged gear and have it shipped to the village, make sure you they have a full list of what was lost so that we can have it replaced" Ashigaera nodded and took off out of the office leaving Lidia to handle paperwork that had come in as well as get everything taken care of for the new residence, and make sure everything that was requested by the staff was approved, obvious there were times when Sebastet had to take the paperwork, but she found that there were few instances where she would hand the paperwork off to her, she knew what needed doing and how to handle most cases so she rarely ever needed to bother Sebastet with paperwork, obvious there was still some that would have to be handled by her but every since she became her aide her workload had drastically been reduced which did give her some time to focus on other things while Lidia handled it.

As Khajhan and Sebastet made their way downstairs to the ground floor to head out of the tower Ashigaera had been waiting for them by the office door, but she didn’t have her usual smile which was concerning in of itself “Sebastet, I hate to interrupt but a situation came to light not to long ago, we were notified that Wind has turned up missing in the castle, but worse still, he may have been captured in the forest. Before you say it we spoke with Cain and his new friend and they left not to long after the sun went down to save wind” the door to the tower opened up Ashigaera had been somewhat aware of her problem but preferred to leave that one for her to voice as Lidia came in looking like she had seen a ghost and to a point she had but it was just the fact that this wolf had those marking and had a history that was infamous for her. Khajhan saw Lidia and spoke up “what’s wrong?” Lidia looked at Khajhan a moment and then turned her attention to Sebastet and spoke “an additional problem has come up within the castle, I wasn’t made aware of it until I saw him with Cain” Khajhan looked at Sebastet somewhat confused but lidia Continued “there is a Verestail Wolf on the island, and I saw his markings, he's Feral” Ashigaera sighed as she opened the office door and just went inside. Khajhan was confused not having heard of a Verestail Wolf and spoke "i'm unfamiliar with them who are they?" Lidia responded first "they're supposed to be extinct, they were killed off centuries ago, or at least that's what i thought, they were wolves of a particular bloodline that had been shattered" "and the markings, how is he a Feral" Lidia just shook her head and offered Sebastet the opportunity to explain that.

Lydia sighed heavily as she listened to Sebastet and simply sat down in a chair before she spoke. “the Feral are the branded warriors of the Verestail Wolves, more specifically the Wind cutter pack, the Verestail Wolves committed genocide slaughtering one of the Ruling Clans of the Vampire, one who had no quarrel with them, and I am the sole survivor of that bloody piece of history. After that the clans united and hunted them to extinction, most of them falling by my blade. The Ferals were bloody Berserkers… Fanatics one and all, the mark is unique to the Feral Verestail, every one earns their mark upon their wolf upon completing a trial by fire so to speak, I can’t say what Falmon may have gone through to earn his mark but his is unmistakable” she finished speaking and just sat there khajhan was picking up on Sebastet’s need to breakdown but reassured her through their bond that she would have her opportunity when time allows. Looking at Lydia he spoke up “a familiar tale of our own past” Lydia looked at him confused for a moment before she realized what he was talking about and referred to the slaughter of their own race and just lowered her head a moment. Khajhan continued “the past sadly is always repeated in some fashion, our kin were slaughtered simply because we existed, coexistence wasn’t possible by those who hate us still, and I imagine a chance for most who weren’t involved weren’t given the option to coexist either, I won’t say that my own hands aren’t bloody from the blood of those who likely didn’t deserve to die, we’re all guilty of that at some point but to hold onto that hatred is likely to do no one any good now” Khajhan looked at Sebastet a slight nod of acknowledgement and leaned up against the wall to leave the rest for Sebastet to address. Ashigaera had already taken off, since Arqden’s expertise as a healer was going to be needed she felt it best she speak to her while Lydia had her conversation with Khajhan and Sebastet.

Khajhan held her in his arms and purred lightly to help her relax and just spoke lightly in her ear “I will when the time is right, we have matters that are likely to require our presence before we can disappear for a while away from all the turmoil that surrounds us at this moment, though I suspect a certain Elf is going to be upset before long once she realizes her charge left” he grinned lightly but as quickly as it came it faded and allowed Sebaste to feel his strength and rely on it in this moment of calmness, to which was soon to be disrupted as a staff member full of panic rushed into the office and yelled “SEBASTET!! We have a situation, one of the new residents is injured Wulfric said someone about bringing your silver poison kit” Khajhan sighed lightly and looked at Sebastet before he released her from his grasp and would follow her to see what aid he could offer.
