Quickly Sky grabbed onto TFs hand without any hesitation, eyeballing Irelia suspiciously. She'd sneak in behind TF using the much taller man as a sort of shield, "The fuck, lady? You creep up on me like a fricken stalker and expect me to 'talk'? Fuck and they say I got bad manners."
Sky slid her hand into the edge of her top to clutch the origami hidden beneath its layers in preparation for Irelia to try to attack again. She was of course relieved TF had shown up. Sky stood no chance against this woman in a one on one encounter.

The Cardmaster did not lower his cards and kept both his eyes on Irelia. She wanted Mai for some reason, but it didn't quite take a genius to figure out what she wanted. The Will of Blades wanted information of course, and Twisted Fate would put down good money that Mai is the least cooperative Shadow Ninja in Zed's order.
"Irelia, Ah think ya' atleast owe Mai an explanation fer' yer' actions besides the vague answer ya' gave us." This was Twisted Fate trying to persuade Irelia to reveal her hand. He knew what she wanted, but he wanted the specific details. Information had always been Twisted Fate's ally, one might never know when he or she is going to need it in the future.
Though The Cardmaster was almost certain that Irelia was less than thrilled with his interference judging from the growl her blade gave earlier. This most certainly would not help her mood, so he kept his guard up.

Irelia darted a glare at Twisted Fate, piercing the orbs that rested in his skull with her emerald gaze that held nothing but the feeling of irritation to have someone stand in her way. What was the gypsy doing here anyways? Was he working for the Order? Or is he simply here to see the Shadow Ninja apprentice herself? Irelia shrugged off the thoughts from her mind as she kept a close eye at Sky's hands when she reached her Origami. Her voice suddenly ran out of her mouth as she spoke in a cold tone.
"If I were you, I would not think about doing that, take your hands off of that weapon."
With that said, she stared back at Fate with the same cold gaze that never left her eyes. Her right hand waved briefly in the air, when suddenly, her blades planted themselves in the ground. It was Irelia's way to say that she had no intention of picking up a fight even though she could have handled both of them with ease and no difficulty- her goal wasn't to pick up a fight, but to seek information and words that could help her with her endeavors to get rid of the venom before it spread out over the Ionian citizens.
She took a deep breath, letting the sharp, cold air that ventured in the forest fill her lungs and her body before letting a warm breath out. She remained calm throughout the whole encounter and she had to remain like this to avoid any sort of incident with Zed's apprentice, since it was the last thing she wanted after what she went through to get here.
But how could she convince her and get the pieces of information out? Irelia had no current thoughts on the matter but she knew that she would find a way by simply talking to her, although she had to remain cautious because she still didn't know if Sky was tracked by any Ninja that was watching them right now, at this very moment in the darkest of the nights that she had ever been through since the Placidium's battle.
The presence of the temple not far away from their location was making her feel slightly uncomfortable; this feeling... This dark and horrifying aura that surrounded her spirit was trying to torment her underneath her skin and flesh while she pushed it away from her mind, remaining strong against any intimidation attempt from the shadows that roamed in the air around the group.
Irelia finally broke the icy silence that weighed over her shoulders and allowed her voice to speak out as she addressed Fate and Sky.
"Since I owe you explanations for my sudden appearance in this area, I will give you one, but a brief explanation. You see, a few weeks ago, I have sent my guards to scout the temple and see if there were any suspicious activities, however, they were caught and I have lost one of them that I will be claiming later... If it is not too late I hope."
She gazed far away into the distance at the dark sky, feelings as if it was nearing Irelia like a predator and was about to fall on her. As she carried on with her words, she shifted back her eyes at the couple that stood before her.
"I came from so far to see what is going on with my own eyes, to see how I will proceed to deal with your Order and the Noxians that decided to get on our lands by simply pretending to be your Order's protectors. And now that I have come across you, I suppose you would know everything about the event that occurred at the Hadoi village that was ravaged by a fearsome battle from what I have heard about it."
Her gaze narrowed down on Sky as she observed her carefully, keeping her guards up as she asked her the following question.
"So? Would you cooperate and answer my questions? There is no use in hiding the truth because eventually, it will find its way out and we will deal with it accordingly, and if you cooperate, not only you will spare my time and efforts, but you will spare the fate of Ionia from what I see would be a terrible ending for all of us."
"I should give a shit why?" Sky snapped finally as Irelia went on about why she was here and such. Truthfully Sky didn't want anyone else hurt, but she was in a predicament that left her really no other choice. "Can't help you, lady. Best you go home before Zed figures out you're snooping around.. And before he realizes we even talked." Shuddering a bit as she thought on how he might act should it happen - particularly towards her.
She remained slightly behind TF, pressing one of her hands against the back of his jacket while she held the other slightly in the edge of her top. She wasn't about to let that little paper weapon go, but she was also not about to stir anything else up. If Irelia attacked, she'd be screwed.. Unless TF took her. In which case maybe not so much. After all, he never plays fair.
"And get it straight, lady. Isn't my fucking Order. You got a bone to pick? Go pick it with someone else and leave me out of it."

Twisted Fate noted Irelia's gesture of dominance, but it was more arrogance than anything. After all Twisted Fate had more than a single trick up his sleeve for particularly bad situations. The fact she was here on a scouting and going to reclaim her lost solider. However, asking Sky to give such information...he had no doubt it would be considered high treason by Zed. He doubted the Master of Shadow knew the word "mercy".
However, Mai's attitude was less than diplomatic, so Twisted Fate decided to offer a slight hint to her. "Cheri, such language doesn't fit yer' artistic personality." He said looking down at her, though his eyes sent the message "Be polite."
Now what to do with Irelia? Letting her take Mai was out of the question, not only for what Zed would do, but that would give her a bargaining chip over The Cardmaster. And Twisted Fate did not like anyone having any sort of advantage over him. Furthermore, letting Mai talk was also out of the question, as that would lead to her own demise. However, this attack on a village had slipped his through his wide net. Perhaps he needed to pay a visit to one of his 'friends' and remind him of his job. But for now, perhaps he could get more details about the village.
"Now hold on here, Irelia." Twisted Fate said, "Ya' mean ta' tell me the Order of Shadows' attacked a village? Wouldn't that be a declaration of war on Ionia?" Twisted Fate decided to play dumb about Noxus' alliance with the Order of Shadows, which happened after the attack on Hadoi village.
"Also what makes ya' think Mai had anythin' ta' do with that attack? After all, she recently joined Zed's order, she wouldn't know a thing about the attack." The gyspy bluffed with the perfect poker face, and considering how most of his face was hidden, it would make it difficult to call him out on the bluff.

Irelia's gaze looked even more threatening as Sky refused to cooperate, however she did not want to bother much with her judging by how she was acting and how disrespectful she was to the Captain of the Ionian Guard herself. However, as Fate intercepted their conversation, Irelia listened to him closely and to what he had to ask, and she perfectly knew that the gypsy ain't a dumb person who really looked as foolish as his questions.
"If that would have been the case Fate, I would not be here scouting over the temple but rather in my office preparing either my guards or whatever would be necessary to terminate the threat."
She let out a low sigh as she briefly paused, letting the wind fill in the silence with its howl as it kept racing through the dark forest. Her gaze caught up to Fate's once more before she carried on with her explanations.
"From what I received, it was the villagers who attacked the temple of the Order, but it seemed quite impossible for them to do such thing, mainly because of how intimidated they are of Zed. The whole story does not truly make sense to me in all honesty and I fear that something far worse would happen, but it seems that your friend is okay with holding burdens over her shoulders."
Sky huffed and folded her arms, looking mildly cross with Irelia's little verbal jabs. She wouldn't think twice about telling her exactly what she thought except for the fact that her life was on the line.. and TF's glance gave her reason to just accept that bit of silence.
The sound of the Ionian night life had filtered into the woods around them, growing slightly more intense as the trio talked.. well.. sorta talked. Sky among them, was not in a very giving mood. And considering she still showed signs of being roughed up, she looked even less willing to be nice about things.
She remained behind the taller Twisted Fate, even slightly leaning against him with violet orbs locked upon Irelia's visage. A glint of anger in it, though it wasn't entirely clear if it was aimed at the woman or something else.

Irelia gazed at Sky with her emerald orbs, trying to decript the glint of anger that set itself in her eyes. The Captain shook her head before speaking again, this time to Twisted Fate.
"I believe I have to leave you now... Remaining in these territories is totally unsafe for me and I would not like to risk my life any longer."
Sky huffed and began to tug at TFs sleeve, "Hehe.. I got booze." She said in a hushed whisper. But then again - when doesn't she have booze? The girl always drinks! She'd glance back to Irelia, tossing her a weary look before moving passed the barrier into the clearing where she and TF would likely wander off elsewhere for some privacy.

Twisted Fate was only partly listening to Irelia's summary of the events that had occurred and why the village would not attack Zed. For now he was focused on something else, and that was receiving a message from a rather important being, Destiny. If he could get something to get Irelia off their backs for good, this meant that Mai wouldn't be punished by Zed for associating with the enemy. Though he was unsure of what Destiny would show him, but he figured it was most likely nothing. A barrage of images assaulted his mind, almost too fast to comprehend everything, but his brain picked out one common element. A ninja, there was no name, but perhaps he would be a figure that could help The Will of Blades. Only Destiny knew, and she sure wasn't showing it to The Cardmaster.
The gypsy zoned back in when Irelia said that it was too dangerous for her to stay, and Twisted Fate couldn't help to agree. Not to mention how dangerous it was for them to be talking to her in said territory, "Ah' reckon' yer' right Irelia, the sooner ya' run the better. Ya' might not get caught if ya' do, trust me Ah' know from experience. Oh n' Ah'd give up yer' search fer' a mole...ain't no one dumb enough ta' betray Zed."
With that Twisted Fate turned and followed Mai, but he stopped and pulled out a card. He turned and threw it toward Irelia, and it embedded into a nearby tree, "Mah callin' card, in case ya' ever want a vision or a readin'. Course' Ah'd prefer if ya' didn't have guards around when Ah' do it." The gyspy said before following Mai into the clearing.
If Irelia were to take the card, she would discover that it was a "Joker". A rather odd calling card as it did not list anyway to get in contact with the gypsy, but perhaps it was all just a joke. Or maybe it was a hint to help her realize that The Cardmaster lied about something.
...Either that or she might be over thinking it far too much.
