[IRP] Power Begets Power

[WyvernSlayer]

Satsume stepped around Faren and picked up his pace to keep behind Cecily as she made her way to their waiting transportation.  He was eager to get away from the high society for a while.  Faren, in particular, had been enough to put him off socialite parties for years.  Shame that I'm sharing the company of two princesses, Satsume thought.

Yep.  Two princesses.  Orica was indeed the true identity of the enigmatic Goldhardt.  But Lita had asked him to keep it secret for the time being, and Satsume - not wanting to incite drama with Cecily - had agreed.  He still had many questions, but she had promised him that he would have the answers he sought "in due time."  Whatever that meant.

"Please consider visiting again!" said Faren to Cecily, as she was aided atop a wyvern.

"When the time comes," Satsume overheard Cecily reply, as he too was helped into a wyvern's saddle.  Satsume's face twisted into a smirk.

"That means no!" he shouted gleefully.

Faren stared back at him, dumbfounded.  Cecily flashed a terrifying glare at Satsume, who hurriedly tapped the shoulder of the wyvern knight he was sitting behind, to signify he was ready to depart.  With a cacophony of wyvern shrieks drowning out the curses hurled his way, the group took to the skies for the Lycian border.
