[QUOTE="talien, post: 1962271, member: 3285"] [b]The Seeds of Our Destruction - Part 1a: Finally, Sweet Savona[/b] "Pardon my question, but you're not from around here, are you?" Sebastian asked the fifth of Oriena's female servants. The other servants were of pure Cafelan blood, with olive complexions, luxurious long black hair, and large, deep eyes. But the fifth servant had short hair and her skin was a coppery hue. "N-no," the servant said after Oriena nodded her permission to speak. "I'm a Myrantian." "Do Myrantians have names?" Sebastian asked with a hint of a smile. "My name is Hetshapet," she said, fingering an exotic amulet dangling from her throat. "I'm actually from Savona. I have a sister there." She shot the other servants a glance. "If anything, THEY'RE not from around here. And where are you from?" Sebastian smirked. "I'm not from around here either." Up on top of the carriage, Kham was espousing the glories of the Saturnalia ex Mille Basiare to Vlad. "The way it works is you run around the city bare-chested," said Kham. "And you try to get as many women as possible to kiss you." "Wow," said Vlad, wide-eyed. "And they do it?" "Oh yeah," said Kham with a wicked grin. "Of course, a little wine doesn't hurt. And the smell of Savona itself probably helps. They don't call it 'sweet' for nothing." When Vlad's confused expression didn't change, Quintus offered over his shoulder, "Some say that Sweet Savona's scent is a mild hallucinogenic, mixed with Helvasta." Kham rolled his eyes. "All business, all the time. You're no fun Quintus." "In a city like Savona, letting your guard down can lead to trouble. I prefer to celebrate this time of year by giving gifts to loved ones, not drunken debauchery." Kham waved him off. "So anyway, all these women wear red lipstick, so you can count how many kisses you've accumulated." "What do you win if you have the most kisses?" asked Vlad. "You get the title of Consort of Larissa." "That's it?" asked Vlad. "Just a title?" In front of them, Ilmarė snorted in a decidedly unladylike manner. "The Consort of Larissa stays in the Temple of Larissa for an entire week." Vlad looked back at Kham for guidance. "The Consort of Larissa officiates in certain select ceremonies sacred to the Smiling Goddess." Vlad blinked. "Wow," was all he said. "Don't get any ideas," said Quintus. "We're on a mission and we'll see it through to the end." When Quintus wasn't looking, Kham parroted Quintus' speech. Without looking up, Quintus said, "I saw that." [/QUOTE]
