Keith stands... "the front approach..."

The easiest and most straight forward...

Keith turns and walks towards Sildarin... "Excuse Sildarin... enjoying yourself?" Keith sits down at his table.

Well now that, that is out of the way...

"So any reason why you have been watching Charlotte and myself, both this morning and this afternoon? Or is this just a simple happenstance of coincidence?"

Keith smiles breifly...
 

Charlotte also rises, smiles at Sildarin, and joins Keith at the table.

"We've seen you, we know that you were watching us at lunch, and that you've been watching us here since we were looking through the shelves." She says, staring Sildarin down.

"Answer his questions." Charlotte says, indicating Keith. "Now."

A little direct, but oh well. Sildarin will learn to cope...
 

Sildarin turns all red and starts stammering.
"I... uh... I mean... well... you see... my, um... psicrystal Slith here..."
He draws the purple crystal out from a pocket it was hidden in.
"... he is a bit ...interested in... uh... the... affairs of... others..."
He tries to collect his thoughts up.
"He's one of those... um... 'observant' psicrystals you know... sorry, didn't mean to sound so rude... I'm just trying to find a new way to use Burst."

Now look what you got us into!
I think this is quite funny. Tell them that I think I can see through Charlotte's shirt.

"NO!"
Sildarin then realizes he talked out loud.
"Sorry... wasn't talking to you... to Slith... yes, to him..."

Interesting another psicyrstal... how many psions are there...

"Well I did not mean to be rude myself... but I simply wondered... and I do not like to be the center of attention unless I plan it thus..."

For now it shall pass hold no grudges... they cloud the mind...

"And what affairs is he interested in..." Keith arches a brow slowly, "or should I say whom..."

Doyle, what do you think?

Charlotte - I think that you should beat the living crap out of him for following you around and throw his carcass out a window.

That's so messy, though.

"And we're supposed to believe that, I suppose." Charlotte says, although it is definitely not a question.

"Keith, what do you think we should do with him? My psicrystal thinks we should... hurt him, and throw his 'carcass out a window'. I don't think that I agree with that particular action, but I think that something should be done. What do you think?"
 

Charlotte quiets herself as she hears Keith start questioning Sildarin.

There goes my mouth again, I just spoke without thinking... diplomacy is not one of my strong points. I'll just let Keith handle it, he'll figure it all out. He'll tell me later if it's important.

Charlotte walks back over to her books, sits down, and starts reading again.
 

Sildarin visibly winces as hurting him and 'throwing his carcass out of the window' is mentioned.

"I'm so sorry... it's just that... he's so... he always wants... to poke his nose to other... uh... people's business... I tried to... make him stop but he didn't listen..."

He tries to look as small and unnoticeable as possible in his current situation.
 

Keith looks intently upon Sildarin... "I doubt throwing his carcass would solve any real problems, it would create many more... I suppose."

I rather like that psicrystal's idea however... but I digress.

"A simple apology, and tell your psicrystal to be more mindful of whom it decides to spy upon... curiosity it is said killed the cat... I am sure it can kill again..." smiles...

That was mean... but perhaps effective...

"Now that the unplesantness is behind us... how has your day been..." Keith says nonchalantly...

Rallyn Loddry

Rallyn overhears that last bit despite trying to filter out all the activity and after discreetly covering the half-eaten remains of the sandwich KithKalin offered, he shifts to address Charlotte and Keith where they are facing Sildarin...

"If you wouldn't mind, would you please keep the threats of violence a little softer please? I really need to get this done. Thanks."

Rallyn attempts to be polite and circumspect in his request.

Diplomacy Check of 12 roll +4 modifier= 16 (See DMG Table 5-4, pg 149 for a general idea if you like)
