The Queen winked at Arminoire. "Let's say for now... I know her very well. Keep it a secret, please?" Silver hated to let out so many secrets, but she had to get them to trust her somehow.
"Information? Well, we do have our Dragon Grimoire as well as the Ice, Fire, and Soul Grimoire... We can afford to rip out a few pages to give to the tribes. However, we must be very careful with these... In the wrong (or right, depending on your view) hands, this information could cause the end of the world." The Queen's eyes darkened, and she peered over her clasped hands at the assembled representatives.

cozork put his head in his hands, he had to silence himself, he had already begun to get too friendly with those around him, time to blend back into the shadows and observe he thought.
he took a step backwards and the shadows behind him took a step forwards meeting in a seemingly unnatural patch of darkness, though his aura was still in the room. ((i gotta grab some food i will be reading still though))

the voice came from the shadows

Arminoire giggled, showing her true, very young age, but she quickly gained composure and said with a smile, "Yes, my queen, it will be deep in my conscience. The secret is quite safe."
She then looked at cozork, watching him return to the comfort of his shadows. A small, mischevious smile took her face, and she slowly began to transmit more light into the room, the shadows or the tapestries and cool corners fading gradually.
"Why, Sir Cozork, why don't you take a seat with us? you must be tired of standing most of the time."

Rose decided to join the conversation now as they begun talking about QuickSilver. "You know QuickSilver?" she said, shocked. Even though she knew the queen had many contacts, QuickSilver was the last person she'd thought the queen would talk about in this company. Rose felt a shiver go down her spine at realising Cozork was no longer by her side, and at thinking about the assasin. "I will keep it a secret, though" she added almost mechanically. "Just another secret to put in the secrets-I-can-never-tell-anybody-Cabin" she then thought and sighed again. She squinted her eyes as light suddenly seemed to be filling the room.
(( biggrin That means you're really close.))

Queen Silver smiled. She knew she had everyone's attention now - it would be that much easier to manipulate them. She mentally smacked herself - she wasn't trying to kill anyone this time.
"How I know QuickSilver?" Silver grinned. "Think! Think! Use your brains! It should come to you!" Silver clapped her hands and grabbed another plate of brownies. She stared intently as she munched on the squishy treat.

cozork realised that Arminoire was playing with him and allowed his shadows to fade back a little, he walked back over to where rose was, and took a seat. As he did so a little shadow formed under Arminoire's chair and began to slowly move it around the table closer to where he and rose now sat. he smiled as he did this.
"so why is this assassin being brought up here?, the only logical guess is that you yourself are her? but that seems a bit unlikely"
the thought of this didn't phase him in the slightest from what he had heard of this assassin he was sure she would not try to kill him, his family would be on this castle within days if he did not return from the meeting.
((why, where abouts in Scandinavia are you from?))

Rose gasped loudly as she understood what the queen meant. "oh no, but, but, but," she couldn't finish the sentence. She had had an idea, something deep inside had been telling her why Queen Silver knew the assasin, but she didn't want to think it, to believe it--denial, her mother would have called it. "I need to get away from here, and NOW" Rose thought and glanced towards the door to check for the best escape route. Then Rose slowly started to back away.
((Would it be okay for me to add something to QuickSilver's past? Which will be the reason Rose is so afraid?
I'm from the south-western part of Norway ^^,))

Arminoire gave a small laugh as her chair moved, and she delightfully let it do so. She turned to the queen and said ponderingly, "Well, to wonder what connections you must have, one must be quite blunt, I suppose. So being quite blunt and innocent, I'd say my Queen and my admired assassin to be one and the same!"
She then, after being scooted a few feet, decided to take the shadow and curl it to the ground and back to it's owner. she smiled and toyed again with her glass, which had be refilled by a servant with some fruity concoction.

Silver quickly ran out and changed into her assassin "uniform".
"It is I! QuickSilver of the Twin Daggers," she announced as she entered the room. "It's a self proclaimed title, of course." Queen Silver - or QuickSilver - wondered if these people were truely to be trusted. "Don't worry, I'm not on business tonight."
((You can do anything with her history if you like!))

cozork realised Rose's edgy manuevers and decided to try and calm her
"dont be afraid, there is no danger in this room, just conversation"
"so why are you bringing this up here?"
he spoke in a completely cool and calm manner to the queen ((cool, you quite literally are just over the sea then >.<))

((Awesome, I'm a psychopath, paranoid, hear voices in my head, a pathological liar, now I'm an assassin too! Just a recap so everyone knows, but most of your characters don't know this so don't act as if you do!))

Rose was shocked by how calm the other guests were with this. "But then again, I guess they have no reason to be arfaid either" she thought as she stared intently at the queen. She barely noticed Cozork and Arminoire's little shadow-play, but still felt the sting of pain in her eyes as the light grew stronger and used some power to turn the whole room a little darker. "Yeah, why?" she asked the queen, repeating Cozork's question. "There is for me" she whispered to Cozork
((>.<
thanks, paradox biggrin ))

"Why?!" Silver couldn't believe her ears. She had gone through so much effort to change into her assassin outfit in less than a minute, and they still didn't recognize her?
"Oh, do you mean why I bothered to tell you this information? Just as a promise, of course! As the Queen, I can grant favors, but as the assassin QuickSilver (at your service) I can do even more."

"care to enlighten me?
i can ensure that no-one over hears us if you like?"
he whispered in response to Rose.
he turned to the queen/assassin
"you mean you can offer your services as part of a trade?"
