Ambriel and Teresa met. Clare knows this because she felt it at the time. It's hard to miss two such strong auras, even if she weren't already attuned to pay attention to them, and she is. She knew the moment they focused on each other in proximity.

(Also because Teresa mentioned it. But that was later, and brief. Clare and Teresa don't talk a lot; they've never needed to.)

But she was talking to a human, and the conversation kept going, and Clare didn't know how to break it off. She'd have just left if either Ambriel or Teresa's aura had flared with stress or anger or threat or any other sign of things going poorly -- but they didn't, and then they parted ways.

Teresa seemed pleased, though. So it's okay.

But when she senses Ambriel's aura coming out of the bar, Clare rises from the forest floor, and heads that way.

Ambriel is wandering rather aimlessly toward the lake when the angel spots Clare on a path to intercept.

So Ambriel stops and waits for her.

But they're friends, Clare. Ambriel comes a little closer.

"Clare, hello. I met Teresa."

"Did you?" Ambriel says, interested. "How far do your senses extend? Or are you particularly sensitive to those like yourself?"

Or perhaps to Ambriel, since they have spent time together.

"That makes sense. Is it one of your particular skills? Can you suppress your aura? Forgive my curiosity."

Clare is just very interesting.

"It is a very useful skill," Ambriel says with some admiration. "Both are- to suppress and to find. If you suppress your aura, are you still able to draw on your power then?"

"I see." Question apparently answered!

Now, back to our previously interrupted conversation.

"Teresa told me that members of your organization only protect those who pay for it."

"But that isn't why you do it."

Ambriel knows this well, emotionally. But it would be nice to have a factual basis for this assumption too.

"I didn't believe you did." Ambriel smiles.

"I don't think I approve of this organization," Ambriel says. "They are clearly not responsible, nor do they think of any greater interest but their own."
ambriel: (Shadowed)

"I am sure there is a better way to operate. But that is them. I still approve of you."

If Clare is anything like the rest of the warriors, they are being used.

"Would do you still kill yoma if you were not paid?"

Ambriel pauses.

"That is the wrong question to ask, if the organization is the one to take charge of the money. Would you still fight if you were not working for them?"
ambriel: (Blue dangerous)

[personal profile] ambriel 2012-12-03 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Are you saying that if you did leave, the Organization would try to have you killed?"

Ambriel puts both hands on Clare's shoulders. "You belong to no one but yourself."

And then, after a moment to recompose- "I do not understand everything about your world, and I cannot influence it unduly. But if you ever want to leave this organization, please tell me. Milliways allows us to cross worlds. I would help you, if you would let me. Or I would take you somewhere else."

"I know. And I would never want to devalue your decisions. You have the free will to make your own choices. But know that you have more than one option."

Especially if that option is 'fight my own friends and/or die'.

"I don't need to. Nor do I want to worry about you. But I can, so I do. Both your task and your world are dangerous, and you are my friend."

One of the few that Ambriel has here. Nor can the angel help her in any significant way. Thus, the worrying.
