[IC] Swords Beneath the Starlight

Casey listens intently as Madoc speaks, interested to learn that the relations between laguz kingdoms are similarly hostile to those of the beorc. He wonders whether that fact might complicate this war even further, especially as Madoc goes on to explain that his arrangement with Adara and her resistance is 'underground' in nature. Adara doesn't seemed one bit phased by this, but it's around this point that Casey realizes Adara's entourage has disappeared. He could've sworn they'd been in the room, but now Alex and Dorian are nowhere to be found. Madoc continues speaking, but Casey has lost his focus. He quietly makes his way to the back of their group, slipping away without a word. He hopes to find Dorian and Alexis somewhere in this fortress.

Some time later, Casey seeks out Sunny.



"There you are!" he calls once he's found her. "Have you had a chance to explore yet? This place is bloody massive, I've never seen anything like it!" His eyes are sparkling with excitement as he speaks, darting around the room to scan their surroundings before finally settling back onto Sunny.
