Following their no-contact policy, the vulpine had not expected another Tanglewood visit -- wary and more than suspicious when found the Coalition as well.  He trusted neither groups, nor did he suspect they trusted each other following the Coalition's takeover of the former; further cause for wariness.

Consequently, the Ardent narrowed his gaze as he approached, ears perked in legitimate curiosity.  The faerie did not enjoy ignorance, so soon inclined his head, seeking more explanation.  He had a primary suspect of course; he had seen Jormungand in the company of the wanderers during the monthly gathering. 

"As Kold requested, I would appreciate further identification -- as they have not only broken your decrees, but mine as well, which I will not tolerate any further," especially after Dante's earlier transgression. "Would I be correct in assuming the perpetrator to be Jormungand?"

Elsweyr, like the previous Luminary, may be rage and fire, but Gael would remain poised -- tone kept simple and polite, indifferent to the baring claws.  He possessed no fear of the other leaders, nor cared for threats.  If Elsweyr decided to act on vengeance and hurt any of his clanmates who had nothing to do with nor known of the transgression, he would display the same lack of mercy in turn.  Unless such proved necessary however, he would use his words and focus on the matter directly.

Regardless if he was correct about the Pittian's identity, Gael would make his judgement upon them swift; he had shown Dante kindness, in refraining from outright exile, but his patience grew thin.  As far as the Ardent felt a Pittian who believed he could risk the lives of his clanmates did not deserve any loyalty or protection in turn, less so if they did it while being a guest elsewhere, disturbing the neutrality of not only two but three groups.

"As he sought to make one of your own a prisoner, you may take him as one in turn," the Ardent decreed icily; no hesitation in throwing the transgressor to the wolves -- there would be no more mercy, for there was no excuse he would accept for this blatantly disloyal and disrespectful behavior.  "Regardless, he shall be demoted to the status of one here."

Let him reap what he sows.
