PRETTY BANNER COMING IN THE STORE NEAREST YOU
PRETTY BANNER COMING IN THE STORE NEAREST YOU
Chaos erupted, though it was contained. One moment he was the center of attention, the next he'd been forgotten in the anger that simply radiated from the woman with the black hair. Questions were asked, wands readies, said questions answered, only to bring forth more queries. He could only be relieved when the letters were taken from his hand and he could slink back into a chair, preparing for yet another eruption that brimmed beneath the surface. Though he was curious, he forced himself to look away from the Boston lady; he himself hated being the center of attention, and he could only imagine that feeling being amplified when one was emotional.
Muted gray eyes studied the Native American who asked the most obvious question, and held his own tongue. Nico knew of her; or at least, had an idea of who she was. Ryan had given them all a quick briefing over dinner last night, before all hell had broken loose on Ilvermony and Taylor was stuck cleaning up the mess. So he remained quiet, even as yet another woman questioned the Red Serpent's legitimacy.
He knew Ryan wasn't stupid. Nico wouldn't be here otherwise. And while he could understand her concerns, his faith and loyalty in his friend overruled any empathy he might have had for her. She'd indirectly insulted someone he thought highly of and while he'd never voice it, he couldn't say she was growing on him.
The giant spoke, and Nico instantly warmed up to him in contrast with the Van Helsing. He knew the feeling all too well, but at least he could easily identify the reason why he'd been invited. Without Ryan, he doubted his quiet life would have been interrupted. He could only imagine one's confusion and doubt when thrust into this room full of strangers, being assured you were destined for something great when reality spoke otherwise.

[bcolor=#908b9f]"Silver Heart doesn't discriminate based on skill, or it would be all too easy to squirm your way into their exclusive group. They choose everyone, from all walks of life, so it would be that much harder to link them all together."[/bcolor]
