Babies and Wet-Nurses: A Conversation

[Xath]

As Xath enters the room with Lady Goldenblade, she pulls out a chair and gesstures for her to sit. Xath then returns to her own seat. "I would like to introduce Lady Dara Goldenblade."

 

[Laurel]

to L'Aurel, without looking at her.
"What she does with HER child is of no concern to me."

If we ask her do this it is you concern. You are choosing to keep your child, and for that we need to make provisions. Are there no still milking mothers? Could not even a contraption of milk be rigged by our friend Freckles to act as a mother would?

Edit: Again Dara enters keep going with the dialog. L'Aurel went to sleep and wakes up as dara walks in.

 

[Archon]

Archonus stands silent as Dara enters the room. The Slyvan noble makes not even a gesture to recognize her presence.

OOC- Somehow this gave me the image of Cawys and Freckles playing the part of Franc and his assistant from Father of the Bride 2; planning Archon's (Steve Martin's) baby shower.

 

[Xath]

Xath looks at Archon, hoping he'll take the lead. However, she quickly realizes that, as usual, Archon will stand stoic.

"Well, Lady Goldenblade...you may well wonder why we've asked you here today. We just have a few questions for you."

 

[The_Universe]

The edges of her lips quirk into an almost-invisible smile as she sees Jansten among you, and then she answers - slowly, as if speech were a foreign thing to her.

"You may ask, and I shall answer."

 

[Archon]

Almost cutting Dara off, Archonus spins to face her. Barely concealing his growing anger,
"Who is the father of your child?"

 

[Xath]

Xath is clearly shocked. She rings across the table. "Archonus! She's not on trial here. Please have some semblence of tact, I beg of you."

 

[The_Universe]

"A man who's responsibilities have drawn him elsewhere. I thought him without love or honor once, but though he is far from me, I know that my child will have his love," she resonds coolly, looking to no one in particular.

Xath is clearly shocked. "Archonus! She's not on trial here. Please have some semblence of tact, I beg of you."

You should probably whisper that, and perhaps kick his shins under the table, or something (lighten the mood, a bit).
