Damien listened to the plans of the three young rogues and began to think. Avelia should be warned of these lads, he thought to himself, before they try anything. Looking at the women around the table, he wondered if they should try and do something about it. He sighed inwardly and raised an eyebrow.
"Ladies, what might we do about this little problem?" he asked them with a polite tone. He glanced over to the boys again and began listening to their conversation as he was before. As he was listening, he brought his gaze back to the table so they wouldn't suspect him of eavesdropping.

((Sorry, I've been busy...can I be part of the plot?))
"It's nice to meet you Kiandra." she said, pulling a chair over to sit down on.
Saraneth smiled at her friends.
"I'm fine...well I have been now that the whole war thing is over." she said, remembering how she had confided in Damien and Nadia a few days after killing Bael. She saw that both Nadia, Fhire, and Kiandra kept shifting their gazes over to three rougish looking youths. Saraneth's emerald gaze followed them, and she frowned inwardly, though keeping her face smooth. She listened carefully to the conversation, though pretending to be in a rather detailed conversation with Damien at the sametime.
"Whats going on?" she whispered to him.

Damien leaned closer to Saraneth in an effort to keep the volume of his voice low. "We're just looking into the plans of the young lads over there," he said, jerking his head slightly in the direction of the three boys. "We have reason to believe that they are planning to overthrow Avelia." He leaned back in his chair again, letting his eyes settle on a scratch in the wood table.
While he was listening to the young rogues' plans, he tried not to let his face show his concern. In his mind, he thought over ways that they could put a stop to the plotting and end the suspicion. As to not look like he was listening in, he waved over a barmaid and ordered a mug of cider to keep his hands busy.

((Kiandra: um... older))
Jasl nodded with a quick jerk of his tanned head. His eyes were cold, his mouth slightly smirking as Kyran agreed to help them. Good. So far all was going to plan. Altan would help them, and now Kyran had agreed to as well, getting them supplies. If he was smart he would get them quietly, buy them from different places to be untraceable. "Good. Now we wait. I would recommend getting something to drink, but not too much." Jasl's eyes were still glinting dangerously as he settled into his act of a common boy, not able to cause trouble.
Inside Nadia's head were ways to stop the three, or was it four now? boys that were planning on overthrowing Avelia. They had to stop them, didn't they? Responding to Sapphire absentmindedly, Nadia noted, "Yes, it is rather."
Thinking about Damien's question, Nadia cocked her head to one side, letting her brown curls tumble to the side. Nadia's dark brown eyes searched Damien's face, until she answered, almost mockingly, "When I know, I'll let you know."
Meanwhile, she didn't look over to the three young Rogue, although carefully picking out their words from the chatter of the pub.

((course you can, Saraneth!))
Kiandra smiled at Saraneth. "You, too." She took a sip of her water, still listening to the three young Rogues. Suddenly, Kiandra nearly choked on her drink.
A smoky fog was clouding her vision and a separate part of her brain sullenly realized she was having a vision. When the fog cleared, leaving behind a light mist, Kiandra saw the inside of the Dove, chairs and tables toppled over, some bloody bodies lying in beneath them. Her view swept to the streets. The Lower side of Corus was filled with racous calls and shouts, it was dark and fires burned. People fought each other, all were members of the Rogue. The three boys she knew were the ringleaders were ganging up with their fellows on a tight knot of Rogues. Coming closer, Kiandra saw that it was Damien, Nadia, Avelia, herself, and other close allies of te Queen's; none were without injury. The smoky fog returned and she was released from the vision.
Coughing, spluttering, and weary, Kiandra slumped forward onto the table. She pushed the mug of water away so it wouldn't spill.
((Kirra - OK...everyone - tAkE tHaT!))

Ladies, what might we do about this little problem
Sapphire shrugged. "That's a good question. What are we going to do about it?" She listened to the rest of the conversation. She kept looking at the others.
She looked at Kiandra sharply as she started choking. "Oh, are you ok? Need water or something?'

Damien as taking a small sip of his cider as Nadia replied to his question. He gave her his usual playful smile and continued to listen to the three rogues. When he took a quick glance at Kiandra, he noticed something was off about her. His brows snapped together as he watched her; her eyes became misty and she seemed to not notice what was going on around her.
Suddenly, Kiandra started choking and she slumped forward onto the table. Damien felt his heart begin to race as he put his hand on her back. "Kiandra?" he asked, his voice concerned. "What's wrong?" His eyes danced dangerously as he tried to make her speak to him.

Kiandra felt Damien place his hand on her back, and his and Fhire's conerned voices. Instictively, she reached out to grasp Damien's arm. Rubbing her eyelids few times, she said, "I'm okay. I'll be alrigh'. Twas the Sight," her voice husky. She looked at Damien and the others, pale blue eyes haunted by what she'd seen. "'twas a vision." Kiandra spoke in small bursts, still shocked by the Sight's show. She stopped herself from glaring at the three youths, only a few tables away. "The Lower Side was in turmoil. We've gotta stop those rogues." Still unnerved, Kiandra ran her fingers through her black hair.

Damien kept his hand on Kiandra's back, still not assured that she was alright. When she spoke of a vision given to her by the Sight, he felt chills run up his spine. "The Lower City in turmoil," he said, repeating her grave words. "Are you sure that it was the rogues that did it?" he asked her quietly, so that the people at other tables wouldn't hear him speaking.
He let his eyes search the faces of the other people at their table. He wondered if they were thinking the same thing that he was: Kill the three young boys now and stop the madness before it starts. He had to hold his chair with his free arm so that he didn't stand up and kill the rogues at this very moment.

Still clinging to Damien with a frightening urgency and weariness, Kiandra nodded. "I saw the Dove abandoned, chairs and tables flipped or destroyed. Then, in the streets, I saw Avelia, you, me, Nadia, and others fightin' off the three boys an' their frien's." A tear ran down her cheek as she though of the Rogue destroyed, Avelia and all she'd known dead, and then being caught by the Provost and hanged on Traitor's Hill.

At Kiandra's words, Damien felt his dislike for the young boys grow. His concern for whatever they were plotting skyrocketed, and his mind began racing with plans of how to stop them. He still liked the one where he killed them now, just to save some time, but if the other people in the Rogue saw him stand up and randomly kill three men, it would raise questions about him.
"Well, my doves," he said, addressing the group and Kiandra, "it's clear to me that we urgently need to look into this and find a way to stop it from happening." His voice was unusually low as he spoke to his friends. "If we want to keep the Rogue alive, I suggest that we think of something fast."

Kiandra nodded. She was glad Damien was working on stopping the destruction. Her thoughts turned to ways to stop this. "We should warn Avelia, at least. She's an excellent assassin and might want to pick 'em off one by one." She looked at each of the grim faces around the table in turn. "We could all help 'er. It wouldn't be too hard. We'd have ta keep at least one of 'em alive. To track the accomplices."

Nadia settled into an act of a happy, unconcerned woman, her mouth in a mocking smile and her cheeks rosy. However, Nadia was indeed acting. Her eyes were still worried as she turned to her friends, to remind them that she was a spy, and it was all an act.
Leaning foward with apprehension when Kiandra choked. She was about to ask "Are you okay?" when Damien and Sapphire both asked. Nadia closed her mouth, the words never leaving her tongue.
Still, her eyes portrayed worriness, even though her lips held a smile, as Kiandra described her vision. They need to be stopped! Nadia thought urgently.
Whispering quietly to the group, in answer to both Damien and Kiandra, "Yes, we should warn the Rogue, and keep and even better eye on them."

Kiandra was struck with an idea. "Nadia! You're a spy, right?" She didn't need the affirmation, it was just a lead in for her idea. "Can you see about offering your "assistance" to these boys, then get an idea of their inner workings?" Taking a breath, she went on. "Then we could better pull down their betrayal. It could work...really!"She said it forcefully to convince them, as much as herself.

"Thats a brilliant idea." Sapphire said, still unnerved by Kiandra's coughing spree. "Are you sure you are ok?"
She looked at the others. The plan could work. Maybe. nadia was a good spy. Right? They did need to be stopped.
She looked at Nadia and tilted her head to the side. "Nadia?"
