Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Keia]

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Hp's: 24/28

AbMM[sblock]*In High Praetorian*[sblock]Zykovian considered the comments of 108r527 and asked, "Do you want to have to make judgments, One Zero Eight?" [/sblock]*In E/S/HP*

"If everyone is ready to go, let us get moving," Zykovain said. "I don't what to think about how Molpe would act if we missed her speech at the convocation . . . or if Melody couldn't find us."[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
"No problem Melody--any time you want to come visit me again I'm happy to see you! Don't worry about your tab--its on the house!"

*Amity gives Melody the customary quick kiss on each cheek before parting ways, and with that, Melody is out of the Laughing Sail Inn and back on the street again, ready to go to the Archduke's Ward and see what's going on at the convocation.*

*The copper-haired girl replies to Zykovian:*
[SBLOCK]
"I have no personal preference, Sir Zykovian, but I am faced with a dual conundrum. On the one hand, when I do exercise judgment, I must endure a slight tightness in my chest which I feel for some reason over the fact that my judgment may be flawed and I may be making someone upset with my service. On the other hand, if I do not exercise judgment, I am often chided and told that I take things 'too literally.' Is that what you would have said had I given the other message, Sir Zykovian?"
[/SBLOCK]

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“I would hardly call them rambling, sister,” Molpe gives a slight smile as she blushes again, “and no, I do not mind your words. I believe you see me for who I truly am, your words seem to suggest that, and I do believe it is a lesson that I should, and am destined to, learn for myself.”

Molpe smiles proudly at Karya, “that is if you we be so bold as to teach me and remind me on occasion that their needs do not make them mean, just needy of our love.” [/sblock]

"I have no personal preference, Sir Zykovian, but I am faced with a dual conundrum. On the one hand, when I do exercise judgment, I must endure a slight tightness in my chest which I feel for some reason over the fact that my judgment may be flawed and I may be making someone upset with my service. On the other hand, if I do not exercise judgment, I am often chided and told that I take things 'too literally.' Is that what you would have said had I given the other message, Sir Zykovian?"

"I really don't know, One Zero Eight. That moment is past and I cannot reflect with the same certainness that you can. It is possible, though I would have most likely apologize to you for not being specific enough. That was an good leap of deductive reasoning on your part," Zykovian complimented. Looking at the others in varying states of readiness, Zykovian asked One Zero Eight, "Now . . . about that forty percent issue . . . . how did you determine this percentage . . . that is if you want to speak of this now, One Zero Eight."[/SBLOCK]

*Rystil Only*[sblock]OOC: What would be the Altanian word for 'Freedom' in the same sense as the Seelie word which was her name? [/sblock][/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]Karya smiles widely at Molpe and gives her sister a kiss, "You wish to listen to my words and take them to heart? Oh thank you Sister! I knew you were special...most sisters will not listen...Thus do I promise you, Sister. I would be honoured to teach me anything you wish to know about the people out here who need our love.[/SBLOCK]

*The copper-haired girl gives an odd smile, more of a twitching and upturning of her mouth, as she replies to Zykovian in High Praetorian.*
[SBLOCK]
"Very good then. It would appear that your personal preferences are in synch with my current exercise of judgment. As for the forty percent, it is quite a simple calculation. I created a queue of your arrow shots during all of your battles and then compared your actions each time you fired with the result, paying specific attention to shots that went wide or were of lesser fatality due to errant behaviour on the part of the archer. The analysis indicated that you were operating at approximately forty percent efficiency and that the appearance of skill you presented was due mainly to incredible luck. Of course, you do not have to agree with my analysis. Though it is impartial, Alire has called it my 'opinion' and stated that it was incorrect several times, and that apparently you are some sort of trained killing machine. Somehow, I prefer my 'opinion'...[/SBLOCK]
Zykovian:
[SBLOCK]
'Lyveria' is the word

" . . . and that apparently you are some sort of trained killing machine. Somehow, I prefer my 'opinion'...

[/SBLOCK]*Zykovian laughed . . . if he had been drinking it surely would have shot out of his nose. He tried to stop, thinking someone would take offense . . . but it felt good to laugh - a good way to start the day.*

*In High Praetorian*[sblock] "A trained killing machine . . .heh-heh, really? That's funny. No disrespect to the given of the opinion intended . . . but that's funny," Zykovian paused, the smile still not off of his face. "I'd much rather hear your opinion, One Zero Eight . . . ."

[SBLOCK]
*The copper-haired girl cocks her head in curiosity at Zykovian's laughter and replies in High Praetorian.*
[SBLOCK]
"I prefer my opinion as well, but I fail to see what is amusing about the fact that we agree. I am sorry...I dismissed the idea that perhaps you desired to see Alire proven incorrect to the point where any case of someone making her look the fool would provoke such a response, but perhaps I need to reassess that option. In any case, Alire is a pessimist who considers herself a realist. She allows the dark passions of her emotions and her love for Arris to cloud her thinking in tense situations, and attacking the wrong people is just another example. For example, had I been active and able to hear--my photoreceptors store light while I am inactive, but I cannot perceive or remember sound--I find it thirty percent likely that I could have determined that you did not wish to give the Crazan Arris to Zaryl Barryn due to analysing your intonation. Even so, it would have been dismissed as my 'opinion' with a ninety-eight percent certainty. Myrrhine sometimes told me that my numbers caused people to be uncomfortable, and she tried to work on the problem by squeezing my hand with a low force divided by area gradient--thus creating a light pressure--whenever I started going into them to remind me. Now that she has been shot, she cannot do this any longer, among other things, so I do hope that I am not causing you to become annoyed, as with a nuisance."

Mhrazhar, Mojiin Avenger; HP 28/30

AbMM[sblock]*Mhrahzar's gathers himself and absently watches the rest ready themselves to leave. He tries to seem concerned with the others milling about but his head ends up cocked slightly to the side and onlookers will see that he is listening intently to the conversation between Zykovian and the Copper-haired Girl. The Mojiin chortles at something that she says, he quickly stifles it, and looks away trying to not seem so obvious.

[High Praetorian and Mojiin][sblock]"We should be leaving soon!"[/sblock]
Mhrazhar looks to Eri and says:

[Mojiin][sblock]"Sister, are you ready to leave?"[/sblock][/sblock]
