Swain blinked, stared blankly at her in silence for a few moments before issuing his response. His voice carried the slightest edge, albeit buried beneath his grim composure. "Perhaps you do not fully understand the implications of such an action. To do so would be an outright declaration of war." Blazing eyes narrowed. "War against Demacia, The League and all her allies." He shook his head.
"Surely you do not expect me to acquiesce such a request--to make such a crucial decision for my entire country on the words of one woman." Beatrice clicked her beak in avian imitation of human disdain: tut tut tut...

Evelynn feigns a pout, not really caring that he had declined her request, not that it was what she actually wanted. There would be plenty of bloodshed without Noxus involved anyway. "Fine then..." She looks to Beatrice and grins, demon bird soup... Letting out an exaggerated sigh she looks back to Swain, "Consider it a favor then, I'll tell you about what is going on... And then you will owe me a favor, within reason... That I can collect at any time. How does that sound?"
She tilts her head to the side slightly wondering if he would accept.

"I will repay your kindness with mine," he replied without pause, "as is proper." Crimson eyes searched her face for any indication of her true motivation. Gnarled hands remained folded upon the table. "You may begin."

Evelynn nods, her eyes glancing in the direction of LeBlanc, "Excellent." She turns and looks to Swain, all humor leaving her face in an instant, "Have you heard of The Ruined King?" Her eyes narrow as she crosses her arms, she frowns slightly, "He calls himself the king of the dead, rules over the majority of the Shadow Isles... Apparently, he once ruled over what is now known as Demacia and Noxus territories, until he was betrayed by a certain faction... I wasn't listening to specifics." Her eyes shift slightly to LeBlanc once more, her eyes studying the Deciever for a moment before returning to Swain, "He was killed and his soul ripped in two, his physical body sealed within the Shadow Isles. Turns out, he wasn't completely killed, he was still as he says, 'anchored to this world'... Or something, I got bored."
She shakes her head, "Anyway, The Ruined King has recently risen once more and called his champions to him..." She smirks, her eyes seeming to light up with excitement, "What does this have to do with you and dear Noxus? He's summoning his undead army to march upon Demacia." She looks at him curiously..

LeBlanc stared at Evelynn, eyebrow raised. "That is going to fail, hilariously. However, if he does commit to such an action..." The Deceiver took another sip of tea, musing to herself some thoughts. "Well, that would certainly be interesting, would it not be?"
LeBlanc's voice would echo in Swain's mind, Though it does not mean we should join forces with them, that can lead to some potential with the princeling. A perfect guise for a more...subtle operation, no?
She tittered and reached for Evelynn's hand. LeBlanc would pat it affectionately and smile at the Widowmaker while saying, "That is quite adorable dear, and it will be a most informative gauge as to the defenses of Demacia and the League combined has. Will that be all, or is there something worth more weight that you have to offer?"

Evelynn moves her hand away from LeBlanc's her eyes narrowing as the contrast of the room darkens slightly, "I was not asking you. Deceiver. I, was talking to the general, I came to speak with him. Not you."
She then smiles, "But, if I was asking for you opinion, I would have actually asked. Okay, dear?" She sneers before calming herself and looking to Swain, "I also know a little something about a dark summoner-knight, The Ruined King has in his service, but seeing as I am simply being 'adorable' I should probably leave you grown ups alone and not tell you about numbers or how capable they are seeing as he will look to Noxus if he can't bring down demacia."
The shadows around Evelynn seem to pulse slightly as she digs her nails into the palms of her hands once more restraining from outright attacking LeBlanc... Condescending little...

Again, shrewd eyes darted between the two women. Like embers riled by a breeze, their crimson glow intensified at the exchange, burned brighter at Evelynn's final threat. Calmly, imperiously, he spoke: "LeBlanc."
He shot her a telling look, one full of dark intensity, but also containing a glimmer of disquiet: something so subtle perhaps only she would be able to discern it. "Leave us," came his hoarse command. Were she still attuned, his silent addendum would pass into her mind, But leave your eyes with me.
He returned his attention to Evelynn, leaned back in his chair, brought his folded hands over his breastplate. "Tell me everything you have, keeping in mind that my favor will match yours in value and extent."

LeBlanc shot a glare at Swain. Her lips peeled back, showing how insulted she was with the tone he had taken with her. She let out a barely audible hiss and drew back from Evelynn. Her chair screeched angrily as she pushed it back and stood up. She faced the Grand General, curtsied to him, and said in an overly sweet tone, "As you wish, Grand General."
To all observing, she looked indignant. Even her emotions read as such. Swain, however, would know better.
My eyes are with you always and forever, darling. Enjoy your conversation~
The Deceiver took a step back and disappeared in a puff of smoke. Evelynn would no longer be able to sense her presence anymore.

Evelynn rolls her eyes, a look of amusement on her face, "Drama queen..." She looks around, not entirely sure if LeBlanc had really gone... It was fine, Evelynn simply wanted to talk with Swain without the comments from LeBlanc, she turns her attention to Swain, "So... Now that it's just you and me..."
She feigns a look of innocence and quietly begins syphoning pain from Swain, the red mist seeping from swain and into the palm of her hand as it lay on the table. She was smirking wondering if he even noticed the pain lessen slightly... There was so much of it, perhaps she should ditch the Isles and come here for a while... Her thoughts snap back to why she was here in the first place,
"Want to know everything? Like say... How and where they're arriving on ships? About the Dark Summoner-knight? Thresh and Nocturne being sent to Demacia first in order to obliterate their moral? Ask and you shall recieve General."

His brows knit ever so slightly as he watched the crimson wisps roll from his shrunken form into her open palm. Blazing eyes drooped closed for a moment, lost in the sensation of relief, however minor, from his ever-present agony. Then, as she finished her invitation to inquire further, they snapped open with renewed purpose. Brighter flames blazed behind them, casting red light upon the tablecloth. "Stop," he said quietly, his glance flashing over her outstretched palm.
"Tell me the plan, in sequential order, and then of the Ruined King and his Knight."[/color][/font] His voice, so full of purposeful ambition, seemed almost inhuman. His expression darkened with the same grim resolve.

Evelynn snaps her palm closed, the pain would collapse back to Swain. Evelynn lets out a disappointed sigh... Until he speaks again, she sits upright and stares at Swain, an odd curious expression on her face... "Aren't you just full of suprises..." Her voice was quiet... She then breaks out in a smile and leans back as if this were nothing more than a casual conversation, "Okay then... The Ruined King is sending both Nocturne and Thresh to Demacia before the invasion, apparently he is searching for something... He refuses to inform any of us on the details. He's using them to break the Demacian's moral before the invasion even starts, covering Demacia in darkness followed by Thresh doing the things Thresh does, tormenting everyone stealing souls and such... The usual."
She taps her nails on the arm of the chair, a look of almost boredom on her face, "Then even if they don't get what they're searching for, The Ruined King plans on sending a force to the coast... Of course, being undead, they can travel under the water undetected and unable to be seen... Until it is to late.... Then, the fun begins..."
She smiles her eyes alight with sadistic pleasure now, "His forces will sweep across Demacia, hundreds upon thousands of undead creatures moving in one large sweeping swarm that will eventually break off and head to key points in Demacia's territory, trade and supply routes, choke points.... Then, the big guns come in when they have Demacia's attention, the abominations the king has forged from various creatures... They don't exactly have a name, so calling them abominations is easier. I even heard whisper of a dragon bound to the kings service.... Seige weapons too. It will be relentless Swain.."
By now she had a large grin plastered on her face, "They won't have time to respond, they'll be slaughtered like cattle... The Isles knows about Demacia's champions and how to beat them... Demacia knows nothing of His forces or their strengths... Armor piering balista disguised as normal balista to take down the dragon should she show, Magics to counter Lux's, They even have a special unit to track down Jarvan should he show his face on the field of battle..."
She watches his expression to see if the comment about Jarvan effected him at all, she then continues, "Speaking of magic... The Knight, known to us as Azazel, apparently from the order of dark summoner-knights that razed Urtistan all those years ago. The King won't tell anyone much about him other than he is... Rather powerful... He can raise the dead as servants or simple minded slaves. He even put down a woman in bone armor with barely a flick of his sword..."
She frowns and looks Swain in the eye, "He isn't bound by the League, and plans on using unsanctioned magic... Something called The Black Hex... Where ever he commands, he will use it... I think the King wishes to draw the League's summoners out into the fight... I do not know why..."
She smirks at him, "Perhaps you should ask him why yourself."

Blazing eyes did indeed narrow at the mention of Jarvan IV, but subtly. He did not interrupt her with any inquiries until she had finished her explanatory monologue. Then a frown, ever-so-slight, crept over his wrinkled features. "Numbers. How many units exactly? There must be more than hundreds of thousands if he seeks successful conquest over Demacia and the Institute both. And if he employs the old spells, the Institute will surely stop at nothing to snuff him out."
There was something amiss, something withheld, either from Evelynn or the "King" himself. The seizure of trade routes to occur only after Demacian forces knew the identities of their assailants? It was as though this proposed attack were a sinister play, and Demacia the stage. The frown darkened further. "Ask him? Why should he meet with me?"

Evelynn chuckles at Swain's question on numbers, she stands from the table and begins wandering the room, "More than hundreds and thousands... To many to count... The same fog the shrouds the isles will be used to smother Demacia and hide the Undead's real numbers once they arrive at the coast."
She pauses and looks to Swain, doubt showing through on her features, "He wants the Institute to be involved, He wants them to send their summoners... I was wondering if he was doing so in hopes of securing a nexus... Just a thought."
She smiles once more, "Well, why wouldn't he want to meet with you? Demacia and Noxus have been enemies since the begining... 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' perhaps?"

Cracked lips pursed behind his shroud at the thought of what an undead king might wish with a nexus. Beatrice bristled as the Widowmaker stood, spread her wings in a span wider than her shrunken master's breadth. "Coordinates. Where will they land? And the intended date of his attacks--both the preemptive scare and the march of force."
"And afterwards, Evelynn," Despite his even demeanor, the Grand General's eyes blazed like wildfire, following her as she wandered about. "One presumes he will fortify his legion with Demacia's fallen. And where will the Ruined King's conquest take him then?" The Master Tactician's eyebrows raised in anticipation of her response. His piercing gaze cemented to her face in careful study of her cruel features, primed to detect any flicker of artifice. The truth seemed readily apparent, but he would hear it from her lips.

Evelynn shakes her head, "Co-ordinates? They plan on arriving along the whole coast and sweep across like a fire. Then, they split off. As for dates..." She frowns in thought, "There was no specific date, the legions are ready to march should he give the order. As far as I know, it could be happening right now. Nocturne and thresh are to be in Demacia when the army arrives. They create the chaos at the same time as the invasion."
She pauses her walk around the room and looks to Swain, an amused smile on her face, "Oh don't worry General... He isn't going for Noxus when... If... he succeds in Demacia. His eyes will turn north... An already weakened state, hit by the void... He despises the void more than the living."
