"Anything you can offer will be used when the time is right, Jester."
Riven continued to sharper the edge of her blade, taking careful consideration to remove any imperfections. There was a reason her blade worked as cleanly as it did in its current state, and that was due to Riven's constant care and attention to detail in her process.
"You're welcome to stay, Miss. Please, take a seat by the fire."

"Ah- thank you," replies Rose, with a smile, and moves a little closer to the flames. "Rose Sonder, at your service." She takes a length of soft red rope from her bag, and begins to weave it in an open chain, giving her hands something to do.

Astrid had followed Riven and Sivir back to their camp, but she did not say a word along the way back. Instead, the woman seemed... harder to talk to then one would think normally.
As they reached the campsite, she walked off as others, including Shaco joined Riven in her campsite.
"I'll... be back." She muttered, toward Riven, and turned, walking off into the deadlands. She needed to blow off some steam over the events that transpired within Noxus.
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."

A purple light traced the door of the chamber, sealing in the sound of voices. When it had come full circle, the vision spoke. "Butcher. I've a proposition for you."
Just as a reminder, while Shaco did have interactions with LeBlanc outside the chamber, I expressly stated that the sound of voices did not escape the door. Please be mindful of the discrepancies between your IC and OOC knowledge. ))
Sivir let out her own sigh as she sat down beside Riven, rolling her shoulders forward, sitting her cross blade beside her "We can use one of my estates if need be" she offered "I have a lot of property strung throughout Valoran, it will be hard for them to keep track"
"I believe staying at one of your residences would be a poor choice. After all, it will be the first place I would expect the tactician to send his agents to keep an eye or ear on us." Riven sighed. This situation was very irritating indeed. "However, perhaps the Jester's information can be of use?"
Sivir shifted her eyes over to Shaco.. what an unusual ally.. Sivir shrugged before noticing Astrid had left them "I am going to go get Astrid, if we are to speak of this, then she deserves to hear this as well." Sivir said, hefting her cross blade as she walked further into the dead lands in search of the blue haired woman.
Shaco stood up and sheathed his shivs, looking at the group as a whole before speaking. "Alright, what I know is only a suspicion, but right now it's the only information against Swain that we have." Shaco's countenance remained neutral, looking over at Astrid, who was dismissing herself.
After she left, Shaco focused his attention back on the group. "Again, what I am about to say cannot leave this campsite...for now at least." Shaco turned to Sivir "I don't really care where we go, so it's up for the rest of the group to decide that."
Shaco took a deep breath. "As some of you may know, Renekton escaped from the Institute." Shaco looked behind him, to make sure there were no spies around, then continued. "I was sneaking around the Institute two days after Noxus seceded from the League, and when I was near Renekton's cell, Leblanc appeared before me."
Shaco waited for this to sink in. "She told me that only Swain, Renekton, herself and I were allowed to know what happened down there. She also gave me a laundry list of tasks to complete for her." Shaco glanced at Riven,his expression a grim one. "Her fourth task...was for me to discover Riven's weakness."
Shaco addressed the whole group again. "Obviously, these are just assumptions. But, if Leblanc didn't want anyone else to know what had occurred outside of that chamber, then someone must of had helped Renekton escape. Again, I could be wrong about this, but it's the only information we have against Swain."
Riven listened to Shaco, her face and expression unknowable. After he finished, she spoke again. "So, Swain and the Deceiver had something to do with the Butcher being released... He neglected to mention Renekton being freed from the Institute when he was talking about his grand vision of peace for Noxus." Her head lifted slightly, the light from the fire illuminating a face and eyes burning with...something.
"This is our enemy, the enemy of Noxus. He lies to your face with a smile as he plans your death behind your back." She spat with barely checked rage. "I had hoped that perhaps I was wrong in my accusations, but it is clear, now, that Jericho Swain has no interest in peace, nor does he have the best interest of Noxus at heart. Releasing a beast that knows nothing but destruction, for whatever twisted ends he deems fit, is not the move of a leader who values peace." She struck the ground next to her.
"How can the League have been so incompetent? They have powerful summoners watching these creatures at all times, likely surrounded by arcane barriers of the strongest make." She stood. "Either the League has completely slacked off in every single facet of their duties, or Jericho Swain is far more crafty and cunning than anyone was lead to believe..."

((Damnet! Ment to post yesterday @_@))
Astrid had been gone for nearly an hour, and only ended up finding herself face to face with a rather large bear who seemed to think she was intruding upon it's territory as it's small little cups hid behind a rock"
"What have I gotten myself into..." She muttered to herself, attempting to not spook the animal into attacking. Slowly taking a step back, the woman cringed as she stepping upon a rather dry stick and snapped it in half with the weight of her booted foot. "Damn..." She growled, moving to face forward.
The bear roared loudly at the invader, it's voice echoing throughout the deadlands and charged forward. But, Astrid's poleax moved too quickly, and the mother bear soon fell to the ground with a thump. The blade of the weapon embedded into the animals skull.
Sighing, the warrior woman dropped her weapon down upon the ground, and ever so slowly, crept up to the rock, spotting only one bear cub, that seemed to be looking around for something it did not know. "Come here..." She spoke softly, picking up the small baby bear. "Heavier then you look..." She said, sitting down upon a rock
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along."
Sivir had been walking for a while.. Astrid certainty went rather far.. then she heard the roar, and quickly took off in that direction, hand death gripping her cross blade, sapphire eyes narrowed. Her boots kicked up the dust as she ran, a hint of worry sunk into her body.. odd. Once Astrid came into view, her steps slowed.. seeing a dead bear and her holding a bear cub. "Are you alright?" Sivir asked, walking the rest of the way towards the other woman.
"I agree. The leaders of Noxus are definitely up to something, and judging by what I witnessed, it is not something for the advancement of Valoran." Shaco was staring into the fire as well, letting his though trail off, but then quickly resuming. "The only problem is, I don't have any evidence to prove this actually occurred. I checked the cell the day after Renekton escaped, and there was no evidence that suggested he was freed by another person. If there's one thing Noxians are good for, it's cleaning up after themselves."
Shaco chuckled at his own joke, then stopped when he realized he was in the company of three other Noxians. He awkwardly cleared his throat, then continued. "The only other evidence we have against them is Leblanc's challenges. However, I have no evidence to prove anything off of those either." Shaco sighed, then stared at Riven, waiting for a response.
