[align=center][div style="width:70%; text-align: justify; padding: 1px; font-family: helvetica;"]Oh boy, another assembly. Lemy saunters over, taking note of everyone in attendance. He takes a seat away from the others and turns his attention to Rin. Welcomings, he didn't really care. He typically meets everyone at the border anyway--that's a good enough 'welcome' to him.
Rin's next piece of news makes him narrow his eyes. Something ugly resurfaces in his chest and he has to restrain himself from snarling. He doesn't like being blindsided like this. And he especially doesn't like that any semblance of his authority just evaporates along with the position. He enjoys being in power, and anyone who claims in that positions didn't matter, well. Maybe that's true for worms without ambition but--
He hears his name and the fuzziness in his mind clears. Lemy blinks and tilts his head, automatically raising a bandaged paw to his chin in faux thought as he hastily soaks in Rin's previous words. The curse is no problem to him as he can just possess another body and come up with a new identity if push came to shove. His anger over it is simply a means to aggravate Rin. Nothing more, nothing less. (He won't allow it to be anything more.)
"'course! Thanks for the new position, Rinny!" He says as he flashes her a blinding smile. Extra responsibilities, unfortunately, but at least it still gives him a semblance of control over Elysium. There's an implicated plural in Rin's words, but he was so lost in his anger that he missed those promoted. Ugh. He'll just get the information later.
This time, he does briefly frown when Rin brings up the incident with the two deer. His mind tries to recall the memory as he does his best to blank it out. He pastes his smile back on his maw and tilts his head back, staring at the sun and lets the burning sensation in his eyes distract him.
And while he does agree that traveling in pairs is a smart idea, Lemy isn't a fan of others knowing his routes. Or, better speaking, he isn't a enough of a fan of anyone in Elysium to trust them with his life. If a mother couldn't protect her daughter from whatever that was, how can he expect others to help him? Not to mention it's easy for Rin to implement that rule when she has a glorified babysitter in the form of Nemhain at her beck and call.
He listens to the rest of the announcements, finally removing his eyes from the bright sun once his vision began blurring with black spots. Lemy doesn't care about the other groups, but supposes they would be good opportunities to observe others. (The mentions of a cult doesn't inspire any positive feelings either.) And another festival? The market festival was a flop because obviously, their allies decided that Elysium could get fucked and they didn't bother showing up. 'Allies' his ass. They probably only want someone to call when they decide to mass raid another group again.
