(OOC: I think my excessive use of the passive voice in the RP is a direct reaction to all of my college profs threatening to pistolwhip me if I use it in my papers.  ) The leader of the three centaurs seized Apronia in a moment, as she stared dumbly at the space where Alondra had been. His muscles bulged as he lifted her by the neck of her tunic like a kitten, and he tossed her into a tree. She fell at his feet, gasping from the impact, and delicately he placed a hoof at her throat. "You lied to us, witch." he snarled, eyes alight with hatred. "You promised we would be left alone to make our deliberations, but your spies are everywhere in the forest!" He was beginning to bear down on her neck. "Please! I can't help you if you kill me. The Wizarding World will exterminate your people as a threat to wizard kind. I am not your enemy!" He paused, looking uncertain. "I am the Keeper of the Treaty." she said more strongly. "I cannot control the behavior of others. That girl, the one who vanished, she is a student. A colt. I do not know where she has gone. I tried to stop her. I tried to stop all of them. Please! You must know they do not understand what has happened. The treaty has not been explained to them. We do not know your ways!" His muscles twitched and he was cutting off her air. " Our ways are not your concern! We only ask to be left alone!" |

(ooc: I'm here as well!!)
Leigh stood in the darkness slightly, hearing what was said. He had done nothing when Alondra who vanishing into nothingness. Leigh gripped his wand tightly, wanting to leap out and intervene on the procedings but he did not wish to condemn Apronia to death. He could hear the harshness in the centaurs tones and he only grew more agitated.
He stepped slightly more into the room, hearing the voices a little clearer. He stepped out fully, revealing himself.
"Hey! We'll exit the forest and leave you alone, but if you don't let us go freely and now... I'll resort to immeasureable means to ensure our own safety and not that of others, understand Centaur?" Leigh threatened, brandishing his wand into full view of everyone around him.
He soon saw the eyes of Apronia widen, pleading with him not to make such a foolish action. He gripped his wand tighter, sending yellow and blue sparks firing out of its tip uncontrollably.
"Believe me centaur, my powers are more than enough to rid this forest of any threats to my people... so let us go and no casualties will befall either one of our peoples." Leigh said tersely. His eyes focused on Apronia as he slowly made his way to her, the eyes of the several centaurs watching him carefully.

(OOC: i know. i was giving you a chance to intervene! Note: please don't take the following personally. i'm setting up a dynamic with Apronia. i like RPing with you! Also, we're in the Forest, not a room!)
"Shut up, you idiot!" Apronia hissed. "I'm not helpless! And even if I were, I wouldn't want to be saved by someone like you!" The centaur looked down at her uncertainly and he met her eyes. "You see? I speak the truth. They will use any excuse to destroy you. Please, don't destroy yourselves!" He stepped off her, looking at Leigh briefly while she stood and brushed herself off.
"What do you want from us?" He eyeballed Apronia in a manner that said he would brook no foolishness.
"I want to create peace between your people and mine. Long ago, for the first treaty, you made Fingle Daedalus ja'atkshi anai. I ask now that you accord me the same honor, that I might attempt to live up to his example." The centaurs looked stunned.
"Do you know what you ask?" he looked grave. Leigh's eyes flicked back and forth between the centaur and the tiny woman in front of him.
"I do." she replied formally. He flicked his fingers at the two centaurs, who moved to flank Apronia.
"Take her, then." Apronia leaned over as she passed Leigh, taking hold of his shoulder in a crushing grip.
"Get out of this Forest, and don't let anyone else in. I will return before tomorrow. Also, think long and hard about therapy. You haven't an iota of sympathy, and it's going to get you killed. You're not omnipotent. Diplomacy is a good skill." One of her two guards seized her shirt and dragged her away.
"Leave our Forest, wizard. We will send the little woman back soon enough."

Leigh grunted as he slowly walked away from the centaurs, nor daring to turn his back on the centaurs. Soon they had left the clearing, as Leigh turned back for the school grounds.
(ooc: Alright, thread finished! I'll make a new one where I cast a ward spell upon the forest to stop ANY and ALL students.)

((HEy What about me~~!!!))
Alondra could feel silence creeping around her as they walked away. The centaur standing silently a few yards away. She could feel no anger and was not nervous anymore. Soon she started to slowly appear. She didn't realize this.
