Bats hurled himself towards the King and swiftly disarmed him. In a flurry of movements he now had the king in a choke hold. The only thing that was now standing in his way was Argentine. "Move." He demanded.

"I'm here for him." He said simply.

"He is an assassin sent here to threaten your king. Miss Argentine if you please dispose of this traitor for me." The Earth King drew a sword from his side. It was a fine think cutlass handle coated in gold.

Catalin gives no response as the earthbender leaves, Corelia giving her a shy wave goodbye with her brother between them.

As soon as she's gone, the twins share a gaze for a long moment.  He breaks it first, looking somewhat ashamed.  "Yes, I know I'm doing it for the wrong reason.  But after what father did..."  He clenches his scarred fists, anger boiling up inside him until his sister gives him a hug, kneeling beside him.
"It's okay, Kitten.  I know."  The tension drains out of him in her embrace, and he sniffs, leaning his head against her chest, ear to her heart.
"Strong and steady, as always, Elli," he confirms with a smile.  "I don't know what I'd do without you..."

She smiles back and holds him tighter.  It doesn't really bear thinking about what he'd do without her..."Um...what will we do about Lili?  What if she finds out?"
His smile disappears.  "I think she might already know.  If she doesn't, good.  She won't.  If she does...we'll see."

They hold each other for a short time longer before he stands.  "I'll run a bath for you tonight.  Why don't you go get ready while I get these leftovers put away?" he asks with a light kiss on her cheek.  She nods and heads over behind the privacy screen while he deals with the leftovers.  As he does, his hand strikes the pouch of coins on the ground again.  So much money...just what would they do with it...

From the shadows two piercing glowing red eyes emerged. They narrow into a intense glare as the creature in the darkness shows its anger and displayed it's wrath upon the fallen agents. Not yet aware the Earth King Had back up he takes the time to taunt his prey. "You scum sucking coward. I'll teach you what it means to know true fear. You will scream my name in terror and sing praises to me begging for deaths sweet release." His voice was cold and not full of the fun he usually carried.
