(Its a bit tricky but I think I can pull something out)

"You confuse me" says Azgoroth "You claim to be allies and yet you fight like small children, if we are to lay low this. Entity, then we should work as one correct? First, you. Stop treating Hel as a child, and you!" He says pointing at Hel "You yourself have claimed Hex is the physical impersonation of a concept of pain, there is no being in even the highest realms I could reach that could purify the mind of a concept. If she had even crossed into my realm, the would have been smote by the Judicum, Consider yourself lucky that I do not lure her to be erased from existence by them, and that I will comply with your plans to temporarily neutralize her".

(checking if this is okay and explaining some more lore because I can and you haven't asked me to stop yet, just tell me if you want me to stop k? So the Judicum are the balance keepers. They pretty much balance they entire world of Illvicta, a city grows to evil. GONE. a city grows too good? GONE. They destroy those that cross borders by wiping them from reality, so yeah.)

(OOC: oh daaaaamn so Hex should never cross pass with those folks cause they would eff her up. Good thing she exists betweens the threads of reality! Good for her not for our fellows but you know what I mean. And can I just say? That's a very interesting dynamic. A city that is too good will be destroyed. What an interesting concept!)
Keziah turns to Azgoroth with narrowed brows and bared teeth. "We are allies as long as the Beast exists. After that, we are strangers at best." Hel looks at Azgoroth a little startled.
"That wouldn't be any good. Hex is a monster, but she has to be killed in our world for her to truly die. And… Kez and I just have some conflicting opinions about Hex. We just need to talk this through and-"
"There is nothing to talk about." Keziah turns to her with a slight scowl. "Negotiations are a short lived success, Hel. And no matter what you do, you know you cannot negotiate with the Beast. Or me. It must be dealt with promptly and with little deviation. Understand?"
Hel sags her shoulders and looks at Keziah under her dark bangs. "Don't think you have some kind of authority over me."
Keziah glowers at her steadily and intensely. "Likewise." She turns and gives her full attention to Hel. "I have to ask you though. And you must answer truthfully. What do you 'owe' the Beast? It remarked so after you lost the link with me."
Hel stiffens a bit and looks away. She coughs into her hand and mumbles something unintelligible.
"Repeat that."
"HA-CHAunoo"
"Just say it."
"AH- DYIuno"
"Hel."
"…"
"Hel!"
Hel stays silent and looks away from the group. She scratches the back of her neck and groans a little.

“I’m going to guess it has something to do with necromancy. That’s about all I can see coming from that thing”. Said Azgoroth slowly.

Hel grimaces slightly. "No, nothing like that… I… I've been thinking about it a lot and…" She falls silent.
"And?"
"And… I don't know." Hel looks down in defeat, like she was a child in trouble. Keziah tilts her head to the right.
"You don't know?"
"No…She took everything…" She hangs her head and looks at the ground with empty eyes. "I don't know what else she could take. Or what I could give her… But she looked at me so… desperately when she told me that. I've never seen her look like that before. It was… bizarre." Keziah looks at Hel for a little longer and then huffs.
"Well that doesn't help with anything. If we don't know what it is, we don't know how valuable it is to the Beast and we don't know if it is even something obtainable." Keziah grunts once. Then twice. Then thrice, but it comes out more like a snarl. She turns to her notes and stares at the words sharply as they apathetically sway in the air. "Is there anymore input that can be produced by anyone here?" Hel opens her mouth but is immediately cut off by Keziah. "Not by you. From what I've seen, your input is diluted through a filter of familiarity that cannot be applied to the Beast. You cannot divide your perception of it as a monster and it as your sister, thus far, you can improve nothing to our battle." Hel's mouth gapes open that it shuts tightly like a vice as she angrily glares at Keziah. Her fists are balled and shivering, her teeth are bared and grinding, her eyes are flared and shimmering.

Vozreal was vibing, trying to think of ideas.

(OOC: Perfect!)
Keziah turns away from Hel, ignoring her obviously angered demeanor and faces Vozreal. "Is there anything else you or and this one" She gestures to Britney. "can offer us in terms of power or knowledge?" Hel, not appreciating being ignored. Starts yelling.
"Keziah! This is a delicate operation we are handling and I think it would be optimal to hear me out!"
Keziah does not acknowledge her as she patiently waits for Vozreal's answer.

"Hm? Oh, not really! She doesn't like to be toyed with." He noticed. "But she mighta have a counteract to that scenario."

“Hmmmm…. holy Ichor, throne eyes, let’s see… ah yes. Angelic feathers. Yes this might work”. Azgoroth is looking Into another large book and mumbling “expensive though. Very expensive”.

Keziah tilts her head down into her finger. "A counter to being toyed with. Hm…"
Hel lifts her hands. "Guys! That's situational! Hex loves games! She doesn't like being made fun of, but she'll turn the tables and-"
"Enough." Keziah doesn't even turn her head. Hel shivers angrily.
"Kez, listen! I know what I'm talking-"
"I said, enough."
She only tilts it this time, but does not offer her eyes to meet Hel's. She looks at Azgoroth as she hears his list. "Expensive? In a monetary sense?" Hel is behind her, silently loosing her shit over being ignored.

"Hel, what were you saying?" He asked, putting a black, fancy, top hat on his head. He looked hotter in it.

Hel grunts in annoyance and vents to Vozreal loudly enough for Keziah to hear.
"She won't listen to me! I know Hex personally! Just because she's 'no longer my sister' doesn't there aren't some traits in her from when we were kids! Like that fight we had a some time ago. She still thinks she's older! I mean, I know mom would back me up, but basically, she still holds onto things she remembers even if its vague. And KEZIAH WON'T HEAR IT!"
In response, Keziah ignores her further, but she is obviously peeved by the yelling. She refuses to acknowledge Hel and continues to talk with Azgoroth.

'Kezzy, listen to Hel."
