Council scene

Riza stood before the werewolf senate, 30 adult werewolves in their wolf forms sat in 3 cubicle seats in front of her separated by a waist high wall. One werewolf sat forward of the rest in the middle cubicle the head of the senate Senator Jaeger Kiba.
"Riza Wildman, Daughter of Volg Wildman... are you aware of why you have been called before the senate today?"
"I am" the red head said flatly conveying no emotion.
"Very well then we will skip the formalities and get down to the point... please state for the council your relationship with the pure blood vampire" he paused for a moment to glance down at some papers infront of him. "Reiri Komura"
"I don't know what you're expecting me to say... Reiri is a valued comrade, we've been through many life or death battles together and I respect her as much as any werewolf"
The council began to whisper amongst each other, it was an often overlooked fact that since werewolves have such good hearing they are naturally inclined to also be very good at whispering.
"She actually said it" in the back of the room Aids Kainu and Rudy Rude sat incase they were needed as witnesses to anything.
"She could face banishment for this" Rudy sighed.
"It doesn't matter we've already sworn to follow her no matter what." Aida chuckled then paused as a guard entered the room and said something to one of the senators. "What do you think that's about?"
The information is passed to the head senator and he stands as sudden shouting is heard from down the hall.
"You smell that?" Rudy gulped
"Oh god why now"
The double doors to the left of Riza burst open and a swarm of bats erupted in slipping easily though the claws of the 2 guards at the door. Many of the council men stood and prepared for battle as the bats spiraled and congealed into 2 beings.
"Oopsy am I interrupting something?" Reiri asked seductively as she appeared slowly floating down arms draped around Riza's neck.
The second swarmed formed nearby into Reiri'a friend Greta her platinum blonde hair practically glowing in the dim room. There was a pause and senator Kiba raised his hand signaling the council to sit. "Invading the main institution of the werewolves with only the 2 of you, that is either insanely grave or insanely stupid... neither are particular traits of a vampire but this does offer us a rare opportunity" Kiba said signaling the guards to go back outside.
"You are in fact Reiri Komura the pure blood vampire correct"
"I see my reputation precedes me" Reiri chuckled.
"Can you be serious for 5 seconds in kind of ok trial you know" Riza sighed.
"Trial?" Reiri looked at the council and floated forward. "On trial for what may I ask?"
"We are simply inquiring as to the relationship between you and Miss Wildman"
"Hmm that is a good question" Reiri floated back toward Riza. "We both work for Princess Lillian of the royal family, and we have fought together many times, saved each other many times and if I'm honest I probably respect her more than I do most vampires I know" Reiri smirked.
"I'm personally offended" Greta chuckled floating over to sit between Aida and Rudy draping her arms over their shoulders and making both cringe.
"Some among the council are worried that Riza may be a spy for your kind" Senator Kiba stated.
"A spy? Oh please she doesn't have the attention span for that"
"Hey!"
"Besides her pride would never allow it" Reiri floated forward again.
"In all my years as a vampire I've never seen a werewolf with even half the honor Riza has." More whispers are stirred between councilmen.
"Quite frankly you should give her a medal... or milkbone or whatever it is you give people as awards around here. I've seen her risk her life to save the second princess, sacrifice her pride twice and become a vampire to invade Duke Kinisky the werewolf slayer's territory and help kill him... twice, avenge the death of her brother also twice... oh and in the process slaughter a small army of werewolf vampire hybrids" the whispers increased.
"I can think of even a few vampires who would thank her for that work and yet here you are putting her on trial for treason"
"Now see here!" One of the other councilmen stands up but Kiba raises his hand and he calms and sits back down.
"You have made some valid points Miss Komura... but you haven't answered my question, what is your relationship to Riza Wildman?"
"Hmm I suppose I didn't ... I'd hesitate to call us friends... but we are no doubt sisters in arms" Reiri floated back and draped her arms around Riza's neck again. "And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit infatuated with her"
"Oh my" Greta chuckled in the back.
"Oh and one more thing" Reiri smiled stifling the growing back chatter of werewolves. "It may also interest you to know that thanks to me helping Riza here with beating Duke Kinisky... I have been exiled from Vampire society." Reiri said it as if she was proud of the fact.
Senator Kiba sat there for a moment. "Yes we had heard that however with Duke Kinisky dead we don't really have anyone who can prove that do we?"
"I can" Greta waves from the back.
Kiba put his face in one hand. "The council recognizes the other trespasser"
"You can call me Greta" she said floating forward. "I can confirm that Reiri was in fact excommunicated from vampire society by Duke Kinisky" she smirked.
"But the Duke is now dead, could she not now renter vampire society, she is a pure blood and quite strong"
"Awww see that's the funny thing" Greta said scratching her head. "I actually offered to let Reiri back into vampire society but... she declined"
Senator Kiba leaned forward. "That is interesting" behind him more whispers and discussions broke out. "We will now take a 1 hour recess to discuss this new information and decide what actions should be taken... you have my word the 2 vampire trespassers will not be harmed despite their discretions."
The 5 women stepped out into the waiting room.
"You're insane coming here" Riza said gruffly.
"How rude as I came all this way to help you" Reiri pouted.
  The hour passed and another 20 minutes as well making tension rise among the young women before finally they were called back inside.
  Senator Kiba sat infront again while the other councilmen stood behind him.
"Riza Wildman Daughter of Volg Wildman"
Riza crossed her arms across her chest in the werewolf salute.
"By the power vested in me by this council... I hereby declare you innocent of all charges" the old werewolf smiled.
  In the back Aida and Rudy howled in glee and hugged Greta between the 2 of them before realizing what the were doing and pushing the bat girl away.
  The rest of the council who was standing begin to leave but Kiba remains seated. "I would also like to officially welcome Miss Reiri Kormura as an honorary ally of werewolves everywhere"
"I don't know about anywhere"
"Don't speak... this is an honor which hasn't been bestowed to someone of your kind in almost 19 generations so take it and shut up" Kiba snarled.
"Yes sir" Reiri stood up straight
"I have some paperwork for you to sign and some information for you but otherwise the 5 of you are free to go" he stands and crosses her arms in the salute. "Live and die with honor"
"Sir!" Riza, Aida and Rudy all salute as well.
The 4 leave while Reiri stays behind for a few moments it eventually floats out to join them.
"What did he need to tell you?"
"Oh just some general stuff, signing my name telling me the benefits of my new title like, free passing through any werewolf territory, a special plack in the council building." Reiri floated passed Riza. "Oh and their blessing to marry a werewolf should I so desire" the vampires smirked "I don't really see you as the marrying type" Riza chuckled as they walked.
"Maybe, maybe I just haven't found the right person yet" Reiri giggled.
"Could they be more obvious?" Aida asked a few steps behind them with Rudy and Greta.
"Doubtful" Greta sighed.
"I hope they know what they're getting themselves into"
