Alex looks at Keseno and laughs, then grabs him by his collar and drags him to meet him at Eye level.

"I don't care what deal you have. If you try that again, I will crush you."

Alex blows a puff of corrosive smoke in Keseno's face which causes the skin to bubble up and die and is eaten away.

"now... let's talk business. You say you have a job huh? For what reason should I crush you like these fellows over here."

Alex crosses his arms and Gestures to Jharm and Slayer, his face growing more serious by the moment, as he stops playing.

"But if this job is worth my time, then speak up..."

-----------------------------------------

Inside the palace, A shade holds Tamrissa in his arms, in the King's Hall, just as Clutch comes running in with Soul Reaver and Asaki. The Shade lets off no power signal and does not even really seem to exist, as if it was nothing more than an illusion. No mind link or spirit link can be made to him.

((OOC: Nobody knows that this is Fei. He doesn't let off a presence in his tenebrous state, and to the other warriors, he's just another Shade.))

The shade lays down Tamrissa on a Table and begins to murmur some words under his breath as she slowly heals from her attack. But to Clutch and the others, it appears to be an akwardly shaped Shade hovering over her. Tamrissa is very startled herself, seeing the shade, but is soon hushed by a gentle hand brushing against her face and a glowing hue coming from his eye sockets.

The Shade pays no mind to The ones coming into the Hall, focused on Tam. Again, all they see is a Shade hovering over her, his back towards them.

"I am back madaam... thank you." he whispers to her, moving his shadowy, cold hand to hers, in no hurry despite the situation.

At Clutch's First words spoken as he screams to Kari, the Shade whips in a very firmiliar manner. In an instant Several Large shadowy Cords come ripping from the sides of the shade, each having a large dark talon on them ((Think Spawn with his chains))

Each chain whips furiously around the shade as he looks around, but soon stop in their spots as the Shade looks around and begins to laugh slightly under his breath.

"I'll be... look who it is. Fancy seeing you here as well... long time no See Clutchfiend...*nods* Asaki... I'll be, Even Soul Reaver tagged along...even a little unorthadoxed...Ha."

The shade reaches over to the table helping Tamrissa to her Feet and off the table. The bladed cords pull slowly back into the mass of the dark being.

Afterwards The darkened figure grows even darker as it becomes opaque and Pitch black, reflecting no light. It's form shifting and become a more recognizable outline, as it then lightens up and the textures and colors begin to show through the darkness. Sooner than none, Fei stands before them, a peaceful smile on his visage.

"I'd love to stay and chat but I have something I need to do... We all need to get out of the Palace and bring it down... I need to reclaim my heir to the Umbra to stop Naraka's control of the Umbra. Ha.. from the way it seems, it looks like you already met him. Now.. let's make haste."
