The libertine nodded towards Apollo. "Oi, sure - welcome. Name's Nevermore. An you?"
The moment of tension had passed, which was a good thing, he reflected, but moreso... what on earth was he walking into here?

A glance to Zero, “We should probably all meet up soon and discuss a few things.” Tact being one of them. And she worked fine with Arrows and Guardians. “But nothing wrong with reaching out.” Might be interesting.
Did Corn have prepared speeches? Or was he able to just wing this? She had to ask sometime.
But she says nothing about his speech. Already knowing there was paths between the Orders and each Awakened. Some friendships formed, some relationships a bit more, difficult.
“Just been busy with studying and all that good stuff.” Good stuff? Where the fuck did that come from? “I’m sure Crystal is doing his own thing and will join us when he wants to. I talk to him here and there, things are good.” Beyond that, they’d have to talk to him. A slight wince, “I would rather if the Mysterium discussed our library and what books we have among ourselves before bringing in an outside party.” She thought they had already discussed that.
"We are not bringing anyone in the library." Corn blurted out immediately when Aurora brought it up, to clear any misunderstanding for everyone around.
Why so defensive? It's not like anyone would expect to come in, he thought. But some things are better cleared out immediately. Corn was all willing to accommodate other mages, but the Athenaum was off limits.
Softening his tone, he raised a hand, "not that you suggested otherwise. Yes, a meeting in June seems a good idea."
As discussions have petered out after people told him in no ambivalent terms they are not interested to discuss anything that has to do with ruling the city, Corn started saying his goodbyes to everyone of the gathered.
"I hope to see you all next month, or sooner!" he said to the other mages.
