Silvano had figured that the man would yell some more, deny it all, and order him away. But he was unprepared for the Dauphin to admit to it and so calmly, so fiercely, ask him what it was he wanted here. The former Dreamer simply gazed at the Court's second-in-command, wondering what on earth he could say that would make this all not sound as though he were power hungry. He wasn't, but he was tired of seeing someone so ineffective doing a good job of blundering around. He had his sons to think of, Giselle to think of, and any future children they may have come along way to eternity. He could not let the Dauphin endanger them all with his selfish ways.
He cleared his throat, stood tall to show he was over his shock at the question. He met the lavender gaze with his own hard look, emerald eyes stony as they locked onto Strel's. Squire and Dauphin gazed at one another solemnly for a moment before the Sadira finally answered the questions swimming in the air. "You know exactly what I want." Their eyes did not leave one another, but the shift in power was almost palpable. Something made the redhead sag a bit and shift his weight. "Stand down. I'll take your place," he said loudly, making sure that everyone could hear him, if they were listening at all. "I'll do the job you're supposed to be doing." He felt his heart race at his declaration, knowing that it was now out for everyone. If the Dauphin refused, he would fight the man, which was definitely not something he wanted to do. Strelein would see the sense in stepping down before Silvano would have to hurt him. He hoped so. For everyone's sake.
