[QUOTE="talien, post: 3828382, member: 3285"] [b]As Gray and Cold As Stone - Part 10: Conclusion[/b] Elandre received them in her father’s study. She listened carefully to their report, struggling to keep a tight rein on her emotions. “Thank you again for all your efforts; if I had some inkling of this plot against my father’s life, I believe that you could have saved him as well. I only wish my last words to him had not been so…harsh…” She trailed off, looking at the floor. “We’ve all taken loved ones for granted sometimes,” said Ilmarė. She shot Quintus a glare. “Your father loved you and you loved him; nothing you said changed that.” Elandre nodded. “I have your payment here.” She wiped her eyes and handed out three sacks of gold. “We retrieved the statue,” said Quintus in low tones. He held it up in the light. It was spattered with Brendis’ blood. “I would like you to keep it, Quintus,” she said with a wan smile. “Perhaps it will light your way in dark times.” “I would be honored,” he replied. “However,” said Elandre, “I would ask one more favor from you.” Before anyone could response, she continued. “I cannot reject the marriage my father had arranged; it would be seen as a rejection of him and would dishonor his memory now that he is…gone. Also, now that I know the Emperor is behind the marriage, I am sure that he would find a way to compel me to go through with it.” “Your father didn’t want you to marry Roderick,” said Kham. “I know that now,” she said. “And now that he is gone, I will be needed here more than ever.” She turned to Ilmarė. “Will you talk to Roderick and ask him to reconsider, to cancel the marriage?” Ilmarė started to speak but Elandre interrupted her. “You have already done so much for me; may I ask you for this one final favor?” “Don’t look at me,” said Kham. He jingled the purse in Elandre’s direction. “I’m heading back to Freeport. I don’t plan to ever step foot in Coryan again if I can help it.” Ilmarė took a deep breath. She put one hand on Quintus’ shoulder. “WE’LL talk to him.” [/QUOTE]
