Bordell's Tales, Chapter 1 : Two faces.

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]You've learn that the best weapon against undead are maces, as many undead, like skeleton, doesn't have the flesh or body. The true nature of all undead make them also very vulnerable to all holy items, and it is a good thing to carry protection against unholy forces when figthing undeads.

In other words, nothing new...[/SBLOCK]

You don't see any servant here so you start to walk back toward your room. You met the girl who have been attributed to you, the same one who has been spying on you and Pioris when you've arrived. You ask her about the door and she seems reluctant to talk about it but she decides to answer you. "It is the chamber of Varence. I don't know what is inside. No one is allowed to enter, except the king, but I don't remember to have ever seen him enter that place... anyway, I don't use that corridor, like all servant. The magic have help Theor many time, but it is something that most people doesn't like to be around when they can... you see what I mean."

[sblock=OOC]Was the girl waiting by my room, or did I find her by coincidence?[/sblock]
"Tell me," Xavier looks to make sure that they have relatively privacy, "What do you think of Varence? He did not speak much when I met him."

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]You met her near your room but she wasn't waiting next to your door. Can be a coincidence or she could have been going to your room for any reason. If it is the latest, she was on her way back from your room.[/SBLOCK]

"I..." she seems to hesitate "I think not much of him... I... I have things to do. Sorry sir, if you allow me, I'll go back to the servant's wing to attend to my task."

 

[Jdvn1]

[sblock=OOC]"quater"? I'm not sure I understand the sentence. [/sblock]

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Oops, bad traduction with a bit of French syntax... sorry, I corrected the sentence. She is talking about the servant's wing, part of teh palace where the servant do there works, the same wing you entered first the palace.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Jdvn1]

[sblock=OOC]Oh, you meant servant's quarters... oops. [/sblock]
Seeing that the line of questions has troubled the girl, Xavier quickly apologizes. "Sorry to put you in an awkward position, miss...? I am just trying to learn about this place. Do you know what the plans are for the arrival of the other knights today? Anyway, I will not prevent you from going to your quarters."

Xavier would prefer for this girl to answer his questions, but he will find another servant if he has to.

 

[Velmont]

"Leonor." she completes your sentence. She seems some kind relieved by the change of subject and answers your question more gladly."I was told there would be a private dinner with the king tonight. It will be once your companion will arrived, but the butler told us to prepare everything for after sunset, so I suppose they are expecting your companion late. I'll come to warn you sir once your friends will arrive. If you want anything, just ask any servant or pull the rope next to your bed and I'll come." She then fell silent, and you know she won't leave until you allow her, as it is usually the case for servant attributed to a visitor.

 

[Jdvn1]

"Leonor." Xavier gives a nod and considers the information. "I'm sure you will do a spectacular job for my mentor tonight. Thank you, you may go where you need to now." He goes to clean all of the equipment he has with him, assuming some servant hasn't done it first. Regardless, he will do whatever preparations he needs to for the night.

 

[Velmont]

Leonor bow at you and then leaves you a bit quicker than she was walking before you talk about her. She seems still disturbed by the questions on Varence.

You prepare yourself, you asks the srevant to find you some courtier's outfits to be in better presentation for the supper. It would be normal for knights on the road to arrive in inappropriate outfit for the supper with the king, but not for you, who have spend teh last few day in teh court. You even think to ask for some for your three companion, knowing the size of each, as you've been the one finding the hunter's outfit.

Later in the afternoon, you go take your bath to clean yourself before the supper. You walk out of the baths when you see Varence who is walking toward the castle. Something strike you. In this part of the garden, there is nothing else than the bath, and you havn't seen him inside it, so you think he could only be in the garden to relax... something that seem not appropriate for the impression he has given you.

 

[Jdvn1]

[sblock=OOC]I'm fully dressed, right? Or is the bath the sort of thing I'd go to and leave in a robe?

I would like to use a quick detect evil and then call out to Varence to ask him if he's had a chance to look into the information, but if I'm not wearing proper clothes, then I don't have much choice but to go back to my room and dress.[/sblock]
