Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Keia]

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

All but Melody and Molpe:[SBLOCK]*Zykovian responded back to Lyveria in High Praetorian.*[SBLOCK]

"My sincerest apologies, Sir Zykovian. I will strive not to cause such displeasure in the future. Was my translation unsatisfactory?"

“That’s quite alright, Lyveria. I’m not displeased with you at all,” Zykovian replied comfortingly, “It’s more an issue of what I just learned about Erila. Were you aware of this, and were you present at any murder of a Mojiin?”

*At the blink, Zykovian’s eyes lit up and a smile creased his face for a moment, then he turned and faced the guard.*[/SBLOCK]

*The guard captain looks at Lyveria and says in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]

"That's the Pleb, I guess. I'm afraid we do have a higher claim on it, sir--it was an accessory to murder and other criminal activities, and will need to be stored in a container with the other pieces of evidence--it also will need to be examined for clues as to the whereabouts of the Rosethorne leaders. When that's done, we can have it mindwiped to remove its criminal and other aberrant tendencies, and then it will be sold off--I'm sure we will offer it to you first for a reduced price if you want it though, but I hear these things are pretty expensive--my friend Johann wanted to buy one, and he couldn't afford it. I do apologise, sir--I will do whatever is in my power to make sure we have it ready for you as quickly as possible, maybe as soon as two days, in time for the end of that big convocation they're holding."

“That’s quite alright, Captain,” Zykovian replied in understanding and a acquiescent bow of his head, “However, I would consider it a personal favor would you speak to me before any such Mindwiping taking place . . . you don’t reforge a masterly crafted sword that has been used in a crime, nor the clothes on the criminal’s back . . . and I believe she would be extremely useful to me currently. So, Captain, you had descriptions of all of the thorns, are we missing any others? What did they leader look like again, Alire, right?” [/SBLOCK]*Zykovian nodded to the guard captain in understanding, though the strain at wanting to throttle the man for talking about her like an object tightened his jaw every so slightly. Zykovian scanned their surroundings looking for someone taking interest in the proceedings, someone who helped set this up.* [/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Oh, I plan on staying young for many, many years, Sister," Karya teases, "But I do sometimes get a different perspective..."

*Celimene whispers back to Molpe:*

"She complimented me very kindly and said I was as beautiful as any Nymph and complimented some of my physical features too."
[/SBLOCK]

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*Melody reaches the door to a small room that has been requisitioned for use by the registrar as his office.*

"Yes, please come in," she hears a male voice call out to her from within.
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]Molpe nods kindly at the busty brunette as she too replies in a whisper, “You truly are, Celimene, and they are quite impressive. Though I’m rather surprised by her comments, I wouldn’t have suspected Karya to be a breast girl. I mean we are so alike and I’m more of a leg girl myself, which, by the way, yours are rather quite shapely and well... long.”

* To stress her opinion one of Molpe’s hands leaves Celimene’s lower back and slides down one of the tall girls smooth legs as Molpe smiles and address Karya. *

“Good, Sister Karya, I would admit I would be very despondent if I saw you old before your time,” Molpe’s smile turned curious as she continued, “and just how old is the ambassador anyways?” [/sblock]

All but Melody and Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Lyveria replies in High Praetorian:*
[SBLOCK]
"While I did not know that she was the daughter of Zaryl Barryn, it was statistically probable that she had a close relative who was a Dragonlord. Frankly, Mistress Alire has called for Barryn's death on many occasions. As for the Mojiin murders, I did not witness them myself, but several of the victims were Rosethornes that Alire asked to help her search out the Jewel."
[/SBLOCK]
*The captain replies to Zykovian in Eldish:*
[SBLOCK]
"But sir...you don't know if it still has commands to pretend to be helpful and then murder you in your sleep--it would do it if it had that command, you know...That's why it would be for your own safety...you know, confidentially, I sometimes feel bad about treating them this way...they look so much like people...but the Praetorians will be angry if the official position on the Plebs is changed, and it would be a diplomatic nightmare..."

"As for Alire, she is an amethyst-haired Valsian like these two, but she has bright blue eyes. They're pretty distinctive. She'll be the last one that hasn't been captured or pronounced dead."
[/SBLOCK]
*Zykovian doesn't see anyone else watching with particular interest.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Celimene blushes at Molpe's words and replies:*

"Actually, she did compliment my legs, and she said that I have the legs of a beautiful Mazirra dancer, though I was never really any good at dancing...never had enough coordination."

*Karya, who could easily hear the whole thing, slides her hand up the other leg in synch with Molpe:*

"Nonsense, my friend, you just need some practise is all, and you could be one of the best ones out there!"

*She turns to Molpe.*

"Old before my time? Ha! Never!" she giggles sticking her tongue out at Molpe, "I'm going to keep on living life the same as before, joyous and carefree...it is in fact my duty and my honour to use my gift of extended physical youth to spread such youthful and happy feelings around me. As for my age, well, I've never been good at keeping track, but...probably something like 2569, give or take a century."

*Karya winks.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Give or take a century?” Molpe replied in shock, her comments about how Celimene’s top heaviness could be the culprit of her lack of dancing skills were completely and utterly forgotten, “I… I just don’t know what to say Karya. I do see how you thrive in such a place now, yes, yes, I know it’s not nearly that bad, but your long memory of home could sustain you for… well, far longer than me. I’m not nearly so old.”[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Oh," Karya giggles, "I guess its not so common for us Nymphs to be so old. That's right...you probably weren't even born yet when I left for Eldiz, so twenty years would seem a lot to you. That's one reason why I'm so proud of you that you have learned some important things so soon, things that took me many many years to see, so foreign were they to my youthful perspective, and you have become a caring and wonderful person so very quickly...Hmm, here's something else I betcha didn't know then, my kind and loving sister: You've heard of the Karyai, right? The name similarity is no coincidence...I was actually the first one, and so they're named after me. It makes me feel so happy inside, as if I had hundreds of daughters of my very own to spread passion everywhere they go!
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]* With her free hand, the other was still brushing and petting one of the long shapely legs of Celimene, and a look of mesmerizing surprise Molpe reached out and gently touched the elegant face of Karya in a manner that suggested Molpe did indeed believe but wasn’t sure how to act. *

“I… I. I don’t know what to say. Thank you, thank you very much for your kind words but I don’t think I deserve them, sister? Is that even the name of someone as old as you or should I be calling you something like eldest sister, Mother of the Karyai?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Karya sticks out her tongue at Molpe and blows a raspberry at her, then falls into a fit of giggling and gives her sister a hug, chiding jokingly*

"Oho, now who's the one making me feel old? 'Eldest sister'? Didn't you just tell me to believe myself old is to be old--you were right, my wise sister. Why, I'm just as energetic and eager to play as I was back when I was your age, and I would be honoured and overjoyed if you treated me just like any other sister, your own age, my wonderful sister. It would make me the happiest Nymph in the whole world."

"Besides," she admits, "I'm not really the mother of any of the Karyai--I just like to think of them as my daughters because it feels good to think of having beautiful loving daughters of my own--have you ever felt that way, my Sister?"
