"Lee...please. Calm down, I know how you must feel, but getting upset over it will not change the issue" assured Lector. The exceed was right in that matter. Her temper wouldn't help at all. AFter several minutes, she managed to calm herself to a simmer Her father had brought it to her attention when she first woke up after asking about what had all happened. He had her meet up with someone who could help with getting these laws undone or lessen the effect. "We should be meet him here. Dad forgot to mention his name" she spoke. LeeAnn sat on the rocks with Lector staring at the portside.

Luckily enough for Jove, that meant it would be him.
A blank look rested upon his face, his green tinted sunglasses hiding his eyes and the new Exceed wearing a onesie pair of pajamas sat on his shoulder, blankly staring off in the distance. Whereas Jove seemed to hold a level of mild displeasure on his face, the Exceed seemed to be completely amused with the world around them.
The two sat in silence, perhaps the main reason Jove was comfortable with the companion, at a random bench in which he was told he would meet the person who requested a meeting with the Rune Knights. Before long, a face he knew by association began approaching. Lee Nakamura, the Guild Master of Infinity Wolves. Standing and bowing slightly, with Frosch tilting his head as well in greetings, Jove spoke up.
"Jove Augustus, Captain of the Rune Knights. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lee Nakamura."

She smelled two unfamilliar scents, her head tilted back a little. From the corner of her eye, she saw a tall, gentlemen with a small exceed dresssed in a onesie pajamas. Lector waved, looking as proud as he usually was. LeeAnn bowed back out of her nature from being previously in the Rune Knights. "Captain Jove, thank you for coming all this way. I am sorry for disturbing the work you do, but I do want to thank you for answering my guild's request" she spoke.
She turned towards the oceanside for a moment. LeeAnn held several documents that were handed to her pressing on the rights against other races. "As it's probably already known, Infinity Wolves serves as a safe house for non-human races and humans alike. We fight for rights of other races and help get their lives started. Recently, its come to my attention there are new laws and rules enforced preventing refugees and others from living a peaceful life. It concerns me and was wondering if someone could explain all of this. I want to fight to change this on the behalf of my guild and for my children's future" she spoke of. Those refugees from the war seeked shelter with her guild with fear of being oppressed. A woman in her powerful position was able to make some sort of change. Though, she needed help or more information. "Here's the documents I was given recently by my guild members about the recent law changes," she spoke.

Lee began to explain the reason of her requesting this meeting, going into detail about her and her guilds concerns. Jove listened, silently taking the documentation she provided and scanning through it.
"I understand your concern," Jove began. "The continent is beginning to come alive with activity, and the amount of refugees and immigrants have become too rampant to allow an open border policy. We've begun to increase the vetting process for those coming in, and some choose to forgo that process. In our efforts to track these individuals down and learn more about who they are, some of the Page's of the Rune Knights have not executed their orders well."

Once she handed the documents, she waited patently for his response. The war had a long effect on everyone. LeeAnn wanted to take in as much life as possible and was willing to quaperate with Jove on the matter. Out of everyone she had met from the Rune Knights, he seemed to the most interesting and easiet to converse with. He lifted his head and explained what it meant. It made more sense calming her down quite a bit. "Now that is understandable seeing as how its hard to keep track of something that large of a scale. I do report all names to the Rune Knights as per requested and will continue to do so. But wgat does this mean for those who alresdy live here prior to the law being formed? Like me or those who already established themselves" she asked. Most likely, she would be fine as being born in Fiore, but sheas storied for a few of her refugees friends. She understood why this must be done and didn't know exactly to help make the effect less bumpy.

Despite that deep seated honesty, it felt like the guild master was also much easier to deal with than others at her same rank and position. Jove's mind snapped to that of Seika or Odin, and he had to fight the urge to grimace. Both were greats in their own right, but so self assured in their convoluted understandings of the world that discussion with them was fruitless. LeeAnn, however, felt like someone who strove to keep an open mind and to allow the conversation to flow naturally. It was an appreciated change of pace.
And so as she asked her question, Jove felt that much more confident in giving her a fully honest answer. "To those of you who came before the law who have established yourselves within the country, nothing should change. You're documented and pay taxes to the Fiore Government, and that makes you a citizen." As he said this, though, it was painfully clear that he didn't intend to stop there.
"However Madam Nakamura, I feel like it's important to highlight that there's a difference in approach happening at all levels. King Reign and I have similar beliefs that while the protection of the country is a high priority, Fiore has always been a place willing to take in those who are struggling and give them a new chance at life. We wish to uphold that belief and continue to protect as many refugee's as possible. That being said-" he trailed off, letting out a tired sigh.
"To say that all factions within Fiore are united would be an overstatement. While the King's word is law, there is still a power balance to maintain. Many nobles, some royals, and even a few guild mages don't necessarily share these feelings. And so, often times we see Nobility or members of the Rune Knights enforcing the law cruelly, and with the intent to force the government to crack down even further."
Jove had grown quite a bit in the past two years. A man who would stick to the minimum amount of work at all times before, he was now willing and able to take his work seriously while on the clock; even if that meant talking far more than he felt comfortable doing.

"That we both agree on. Pressure from nobles and other higher forces really can call the shots. As a former Rune Knight and clan leader, I can see it. Luckily, the Nakamura family is the opposite of the average rich individual. We believe rights for all despite race. It's character we look at, I am proof of that. After all, I am the only demi-human in my family. Now my worries are, what's going to happen with those refugees seeking shelter in my guild?" An internal fear of nobles, racist Rune Knights and royalty seeking out Infinity Wolves for its rights for all policy.
Many sought out the guild for it's open door policy and system to help those establish their life. LeeAnn had already helped out hundreds of people do that. It was all thanks to her guildmates believing in her cause. In doing so, she made it clear about her ambitions for making Fiore a safer place. "From the start, Infinity Wolves has gotten some backlash, but with powerful mages such as Kon and I in the guild, they never bothered to even touch us. Though, with this law, I am afraid we cant use that anymore" she spoke.
