All but Molpe:[SBLOCK]Abdiel listens to Melody's empassioned speech trying to take it all in. Once she is finished he replies, at length, in Seelie:[SBLOCK]"Melody, I understand how you feel. I am not trying to make excuses for Mhrazhar, I will simply explain her point of view. She has trained, almost from birth, to detect and destroy those who are Tainted. That is why, when she found out that you could mask any Taint that you may have on you, and that the Sacrans told us that you were Tainted, that she determined that she needed to stop you. The fact that she tried to subdue you instead of kill you is an indication of the fact that you had helped me before. I cannot excuse her jumping to conclusions, but I imagine that her time away from Arris, and her mentor's murder, have made her een more suspicious than she was before."
"As to her loyalty, she did not change sides. The only person's side that she was on before was mine. Most Mojiin take a very long time to trust someone, I am an exception. Basically, until someone has proven that they are trustworthy, she would not trust them. We have had discussions on this, and she does now trust you. You can trust her not to 'switch sides' as you called it again - unless she detects Taint on you with her own eyes. If that is the case, then my sister and I will have further discussions, because in this, the Avenger and the Preserver take very different views of what must be done. Avengers believe that they must be destroyed, while Preservers believe that they must be led back to the proper path, and nurtured so that they can remove the Taint that they carry."
"Anyways, I will now translate what you said to my sister. I hope that she will take it the right way and not misunderstand your anger towards her."[/SBLOCK]
Abdiel then turns towards Mhrazhar, and continues in Mojiin.[SBLOCK]
"Sister, as you can see Vhris, as you call her, is very angry about what happened in the cathedral of the Sacra. She has asked me to translate the following for you:"
“You turn sides pretty quickly, no? Do you even comprehend what you did in there? Yes, I noticed, that you 'only' tried to knock me unconscious, but that would have meant certain death for me. The temple ground is not bound by local laws and they can do whatever they want in there. And that is what your actions would have led to. So, in conclusion, you tried to kill me. Or what would you have done after knocking me out then, if the Sacra then claimed my body and carried me away? I guess you didn't even think that far! Is that what you do to people who try to help you, or rather try to help your friend Abdiel here? Do you really think I will now just smile and say, 'Hey, it's all cool, nothing bad happened.' Matter resolved? Not very likely! I don't know what kind of lies the Sacra told you, because I couldn't understand a word, but I'm very sure now, after learning about their vile ways, that they told you just about anything to make you help them; help them to work their evil, that is. Ironic, you say you have pledged your life to fight against evil and still you so carelessly and willingly embrace it. Your 'Arris' won't be happy with you, I suppose. Didn't they teach you something about seeing with your own eyes, maybe? Maybe you should have checked them first! And you talk about deception!? I was honest to everyone here all the time. And what about you? If you don't trust in your own perceptions, then why don't you just kill everyone? Then noone will be left to hurt your 'beloved Arris'. With your quick judgements that wouldn't make a whole lot of difference, don't you think? You take these crimes seriously, you say? Crimes like, say, killing innocents? You should be glad, that I at least knew what was going on right when that inquisitor reached for the sword. There would have been a nice Taint on you, if I wouldn't have made it out there. Yes, you should take that seriously! And that means, that you should be sure you got the right person, before sending someone to hell! Really, I don't know what to do about this now. How can I be sure, that when another person falsely accuses someone again, you start to lash out once more? I do believe, no, I know, that you were just deceived, but what I worry about is, what will be, if something like this happens again? Will I find you on the wrong side once more?”
"I have told her that part of the problem is that you did not trust her, or anyone else for that matter, until they have earned your trust. I have told her that you could be trusted not to turn on anyone in this group. Although, I must admit that I do not trust the new one, Fedowin, as I cannot communicate with him directly."
"Anyways, what response would you like me to translate for her?"[/SBLOCK]
Abdiels finishes his translation, and awaits Mhrazhar's response.[/SBLOCK]
Rystil:[SBLOCK]Abdiel will stand ready to physically restrain Mhrazhar if she makes any move towards Melody, and vice versa.[/SBLOCK]
