John sighed and prayed for forgiveness from Leena. "We are part of a rebellion group trying to bring the four territories back together." He tossed his cigarette on the ground stamping it out. "Sorry Lethe but we're just going around in circles right now, and it's getting us nowhere." John extended his hand out to Miranda. "My name is John Clarke, and his name is Lethe."

"So you are the group I'm looking for." Miranda threw her cigarette out into the rain. "Nice to meet you John and Lethe." She took John's hand and shook. "I'm the leader of a mercenary guild trying to do the same, though we seem to be failing at the moment."

The kid sniffed as she dripped in the corner. "Mercenary." She confirmed and sniffed disdainfully.
Lethe shook his head. "You'll be the one in for it." He laughed and faced Miranda. "I was afraid you'd say that." He sounded cheerful in spite of his words. He grinned "Meaning the problems caused up there would be your work?"

Miranda shrugged. "I guess you could say that. Me and my information officer set this plan in motion, and it kinda.... backfired." Miranda shivered as a sudden gust of wind cooled the air around her. "I underestimated the local city guard and they exposed my agent acting as one of their own." She sighed thinking about him. "I hope he's okay." She mumbled under her breath.

"you say our intentions are the same, yet you're pitting the territories against each other." Lethe's smile turned cold and predatory. "I don't see how recreating the war from the past will make the territories coexist when it's what caused the rift."

Miranda sighed and looked at Lethe. "I know it looks bad, but we are really trying to bring back the territories together." She began pacing back and forth nervously. "Our plan was to have our people, the wind calgors, to overthrow the government. We don't have a standing army so if a war broke out because of something our government supposedly did the people would revolt." She stopped her pacing and looked at the two. "After that we bring our people back together again as a democracy. I had hired political figures many years ago who were tired of how Ninnatta runs things."

John stood up and stretched his arms. "I think she's telling the truth Lethe." He leaned up against the entrance watching the rain fall. "And you would you stop being so over dramatic." John turned his attention to the child. "Whats your take on it spy? You think she's telling the truth?"

The child glared at the group. "Oh she's true enough. Well at least the plot is legit. We caught wind of it a while ago." She shook her head. "it's foolish tho. Sure the people would revolt. But your bribed political figures are far more corrupt than ninnatta. At least she cares for the city and it's people. Eben if she doesn't act like it." She yawned "your politicians will try to take ninnatta's seat like they've been wanting to for years. The citizens will riot in chaos. The nobles will bail, taking all their money and support from the city. Our pretty floating utopia will be just as rotted and broken as the fire capital before you know it." She sounded bored, as if it couldn't concern her at the moment. "And if you decide to overthrow ninnatta first, know that the entire council may hate her but she has a large percentage of the population supporting her. Though she would never openly acknowledge them."
Lethe smiled lazily as he listened to the kids story. "seems drama is in no short supply around here." He commented toward john. "Miranda, my dear." He said sarcastically. "it would seem I'm in agreement with the kid on this one. Even tough your idea has a destination similar to my sister's, your execution lacks foresight." He smiled as he realized how like his sister that sounded.

"You two sound like my intelligence officer." She mumbled under her breath. "Look I knew the plan was shaky at best, but we had a small window to act and I didn't know when we would be able to do it again." Miranda held her head in her palm massaging her temples. "So I took my chances." She directed her attention to the small spy. "And your information is wrong, they are not bribed political figures, they are people I have known all my life. They care about the city, and the well being of the people. They hate the ways are being run now and they want to make it better." She next turned her attention to Lethe. "And you wipe that fucking smile off your face. I'm sick of seeing the poor districts suffer while the nobility sit in power doing nothing."

Lethe's grin only grew in it's cold charm. "If your a mercenary, I assume your familiar with the state of affairs in kalama?" He shook his head. "the citizens care little for each other and the amount of homeless is only limited by the criminal element that finds sport in hunting them." He relaxed into the floor. "yes, your poor live a hard life, but you have nearly no homeless and several churches catering to charity." He eyed the woman. "have you any idea where the funding for such things as food, sanitation, shelters, healers, and their protection comes from?" He leaned back with his arms folded behind his head. "I suggest you ask yourself why such extremely selfish nobles would offer any assistance?" He slid his eyes to the spy. "I bet the kid knows. Ask her."
The girl rolled her eyes as the man lectured the woman and continued to watch the strangers.

"The funding come from the nobles I hired." Miranda told him simply. "The ones who want our nation to become a democracy." She leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. "Of course a simple man such as yourself wouldn't know that. But lets disregard this debate shall we. I was told you came here with a purpose, and I came to help."

John let loose a growl and glared at the two. "Would you two start acting like adults!" He shook his head trying to keep the anger at bay. "Lethe we are part of an organization which disagrees with how each government runs things, that's why we want to change things, so why in the hell are you defending this one?!" He turned his attention to the woman. "And you, you just said yourself your plan was S*** and backfired on you so why are you defending it?!" John's eyes began to glow a faint yellow and he could feel himself changing. He punched a wall letting loose a breathe he didn't realize he was holding. "Just tell us how we get into the city so we can get on with our work." John took several deep breaths trying to calm himself down.

The girl sighed. "The angry puppy is right." She told them. "You both just need t cut the completion and face things. Lethe, the woman agrees with you and has tried as best she knows how to change things. Mercenary, your nobles were only able to fund anything because ninnatta's vanity forced the council to conform. The girls methods lacked originality and heart, you boys are late and helpless, and ninnatta may o extremely well by the city but she doesn't do it for the citizens." She paused to breath. "Now I'll you all calm down and figure you s*** out so I can get back to my own work?"
OOC: haha he kid bites
Lethe was struck speechless for a moment before he began laughing. He rolled on his side and pushed himself up. "Sorry john, I guess I got carried away with all the fun this lady here and I were have'n." If any one but Lethe could enjoy arguing so much he'd never met them. "She's almost as fun as that damned woman your friend bain dragged in a while back." He chuckled remembering the temperamental Serena.

Miranda took a step backwards away from John out of fear. "F-fine." She looked to both men and explained how she got out of the city while it was on full lockdown. "You'll just have to wait for a waste disposal unit to come down and high-jack it, simple as that." As she finished her explanation the rain began to die down a little bit and the thunder sounded much farther away. He clothes had finally managed to dry out as did her hair. "Theres also one more I thing I was meant to ask you."

John stood up and stamped his cigarette on the ground. "Sorry but its going to have to wait." He made his over to Lethe and gave a hand to help him up. "Come on Lethe we got some work to do."
