He pondered what would happen if he carried her and flung her out the window. Knowing the witch, she would probably sprout wings and fly off. No, he had to be very careful. He had a feeling she was more dangerous than she looked.
~we are on~ Tolan said and he followed in Isabela's wake.
They all sat and Isabela repeated her ritual.
The head Sevalis was whispering with the head Vhadland then both separated. "Our verdict is this, the land will be given to the Everglade cooperation as as soon as they do their part specified in the contract presented."
The humans protested, floundering. The lawyer specifically stood up with such force his chair hit the poor assistant behind him.
"Sit down, human."
"W-we want an explanation for this! You are only doing this because he is a denizen like you!" One of his people took his sleeve and forced him down.
"Not that we have to explain anything to you," the Vhadlandhead spoke for the first time. Her voice deep and resonating. "But your disrespect, at this meeting is cause enough to deny you our land."
The lawyer blustered. "How have we been disrespectful? We have observed all your laws and etiquette while here, we…"
"Look around you, Human. What do you see?" The Vhadland head asked him, and he took a quick look around.
"What?" he asked angrily.
~this human will not live through the week~ Tolan said and he agreed. The vampires were big on respect, raising your voice on not just one but two enclave heads was a death sentence.
"The enclave that hosted this meeting has their head here. The enclave that asked for this meeting, has the head here. Me. The pack you are in negotiations with has their head here," she gestured towards Mallon and he gave a fanged smiled when the human dared look. "Yet you humans, the lowliest and the youngest in this world, decided this meeting was not important enough to have at least one of your so called chairmen here?"
The human began to sweat. "We didn't know it was a requirement," he said quietly.
"No, we did not know that we still had to teach adults common manners. Take the loss and go, maybe next time you'll pay better attention."
She stood and the rest of the Vhadland rose with her, her grace and the quality around her, even her scent. Told him she was likely the oldest person here. She turned to Mallon who rose as well. He saw the Sevalis head motioning for Isabela to drop the shield in his side eye "We have signed your contract, once you pay us we will meet in Ruathe for the earth witch to switch ownership of the land."
He bowed in agreement and stayed so as she turned to leave.
~I am having the jet filled now, we will head directly to the air strip~ Eva said to him as she moved away to place the call.
