Regent watches the verbal joust with intent. he listens to the words and drinks in the interaction missing nothing in each gesture and inflexion of words played. He is glued to the interaction as a couch potato to a favorite program on the television.

Vesperia stands silent as she is visibly contemplating this new and intriguing proposal from the small Pe'Ri before her. She slides her hand forward to touch Ere's hand with hers. The energy has a different feel now, soft, warm and intense.
"What you say is confusing to me. I can see the delights of such tempting sensations. Falling into the trap of prolonged suffering for you as well my Beloved. I recall you wishing to cast off your responsibilities as queen to embrace the freedom of death and total disintegration of this existence. Has that also changed in your overall vision? I offer you freedom as you have always longed for Beloved. Where could I belong in your new vision of the underverse? Would you lure me with sweet promise only to destroy me Beloved? By placing me into an inert form as this absurd Tenco? Ignorant and blissful in it's own absence of purpose? Surely a hell of our own to never merge as one only to remain hollow and wasted never to live conjoined to fulfill our destiny?"

Ereshkigal looks momentarily taken aback at the mention of death and disintegration. Her smile shifts taking on a predatory cast, anger replacing humor in her eyes. Still she takes Vesperia's hand in her own to draw her into an embrace.
"I will not lie to you I have no wish to die, now. Rather I desire life and all the fascinations it holds." She laughs a little, cocking her head sideways curiously.
"And, my dear, do you really think I could destroy you? Bind you harmless- for a while. But I will do no such thing. We shall work together."

Regent smiles as the two converse. He wishes to stay apart from this however he feels compelled to interject. "Magnanimous ones, May I suggest a truce between you? You clearly have legitimate grievances from the other, however, I'm sure that with the delicate act of faith in a neutral party, like myself, you may come to respect and understand your counterpart in time through cooperation and faith in me to assist your steps toward unity."
Regent looks surprised by his words for a moment then he resumes his relaxed manor as he steps up to the powerful beings. The Queen and Vesperia both unaware that their conflicting energies are becoming disruptive to the immediate environment.

The void reels about to face Regent as he speaks. Her form contorts, becoming bestial at the intrusion. Then she subsides recognizing Regent reverting back to her liquid form of the Queens reflection. The cave floor has eroded and they hover lightly over the rift in the earth. their dark power suspending them in a kinetic grappling match as the void energies tears away at the landscape.
Vesperia Tears away from Ereshkigal as she notices the energies colliding. She floats back sending Ere off in the opposite direction as they both drift back to the ground on opposite sides of the rift.
"I would hear your words Lateinos, and they resonate of wisdom except for this burning mistrust in my heart. You ask a great deal for me to place my faith in you, yet, after all you are bound by your station to serve Ereshkigal. How do I know that you are not in league with her to lull me into your subterfuge and by treacherous duplicity try to destroy me?"

Ereshkigal steps down onto the ground and turns away from Regent and Vesperia. She stares out at the cave, tendrils of her dress creeping along the floor. She hums a soft song and bit by bit where the dress touches a different texture appears on the floor as though the dust is just being swept away.
The new surface is blue veined black marble set with delicately wrought golden stars.

Regnet smiles to the void. "My love I would be a fool to consider such things you imagine. You are the bond that ties me to our beloved Queen Ereshkigal. To sever that bond with you would be to sever that bond with hell itself and even to consider such a thing would be sheer folly."
Regent sighs, the fear and mistrust of the Void is always there. Though that has been compounded by her fears.

Ereshkigal leans back looking at the ceiling and sighs.
"Vesperia, while it's true that we three have not always agreed. We do not wish to be rid of you. It would be pointless and self-defeating. We simply must come to an accord that we can all agree with. And quickly." She still keeps her back to the other two but pitches her voice to carry creating soft echos in the cavernous space.
"So therefore.I will not destroy the worlds. I desire to live and see what life may hold... But I am willing to listen to your desires." Ereshkigal's voice twists on last phrase making it husky and amused.
