Of all the things she had expected from a member of the Rosebloods, this was not one of them, and yet, it was heartening all the same, a part of her absolutely relieved that they had not been met with hostility and aggression. "I'm also alright," She'd respond finally, absently bobbing her head along with her words. The offer was nice and she appreciated it to some degree, but Agathe would never willingly take from another clan- not unless it could be helped anyways. Not to mention the fact that the Seraph was hardly interested in it after catching his stare. It made her skin crawl but she tried to ignore it to the best of her ability, fearful of what might happen and what she could jeopardize if she threatened to skin him alive for looking at her like that.

Thankfully, Sephiroth's arrival stole her attention and caused her to turn away from Frightfur to look upon him instead. "It's a pleasure," She'd smoothly respond, dulling the edge normally found in her words for something softer, more refined, "If you missed it, I am Agathe and this is Titan." The snow leopard would nod briefly in the direction of her partner, swallowing hard as she did so. Negotiations and diplomacy had never been her strong suit, but she knew that she needed to present a convincing case if she even wanted the lion that stood before her to entertain the idea of an alliance

"We have come to discuss a potential alliance between our two groups. While we may have the reputation for being peaceful pacifists more interested in the stars than anything else, you may notice some changes within our clan that suggest otherwise. Word reached us that you're no longer allies with the Typhoon. Seeing as our current enemies are Sunhaven and the pair have a rather..." She paused, as if to search for the right word, "strong alliance, perhaps banding together might be beneficial for both of us." Agathe would flash her teeth in something that resembled a smile as she concluded, silently hoping that what she said had been compelling enough. They'd be out of options if it hadn't been.
