wash away the anger -- assembly 12/31

[nemhain.]

Another new threat. Not only to Nemhain and her protection of Rin, but to Elyzium as a whole. Nemhain couldn't say that it surprised her much. She knew what had happened in the past, and doubted Rin would ever not have a target on her back until each and every one of the gods was dead. Yet, it still annoyed her, vaguely, that Rin was not given even a moment to rest and recuperate after everything that had happened. Nemhain imagined that was just the way of being Magna and dealing with such huge things, but that didn't mean that the fenghuang couldn't shoot a glare the universe's way because of it. Needless to say, Nemhain was up and ready for the assembly before Rin had even truly called it, able to feel the faint unease and sense of responsibility that passed through the other thanks to their bond. Landing amidst the crowd that slowly gathered, Nemhain made an effort to make herself as small as possible, not wanting to push anyone aside or away from the assembly as a result of her massive wingspan. She listened intently to the rather mundane things that Rin listed off, blinking in faint response when her lady spoke her name in welcome. The faintest of smile came to the bird's beak as she dipped her head, her deep and faintly echoing voice mumbling, "Ah... thank you, for the welcome, Rin." Now came the not so fun part. The part with Neptune. A soft noise left the avian's throat as she listened to Rin's explanation, shaking her head a bit as she let out a condescending snort. These gods were far too bold for her liking, especially after so many had them taken out already. Curiously, Nem glanced at the crowd around her, trying to gauge the reaction of the others gathered before she turned back to Rin, "I am sure that it goes without saying, but I will remain by your side no matter what decision is made, Lady Rin." Nemhain truly had no stake I'm the conversation that was about to take place. Sure, she cared about Elysium, but only to the same extent that Rin cared about Elysium. And while this was a lot, Nem would remain protecting Rin until the day that her spirit was crushed and destroyed, forced to recede back into the shadows from which she had been born.
