Destiny's Tears- First Interlude

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA:[sblock]“I don’t know, Aine,” Molpe said distantly as she gave it some thought, “Maybe, I guess so… How much will it cost and why doesn’t it work that way?” [/sblock]

Group:
[SBLOCK]“Yes, that thought occurred to me as well. We should keep the gem handy, if such an opportunity presents itself. I'm sorry for you, that the real Crazan Arris seems to be out of reach for now. A shame, we were so close. But you are right, we need to look forward now.”[/SBLOCK]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, magic is both a limited resource and a means of making a living for its practitioners. I'm sure you've noticed that food and shelter cost money here, right? Well magic users use their magic to pay for their living. A scrying costs 1000 credits."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“I know some magic, Aine!” Molpe says hopefully not quite ready to give up hope, “Can we trade favor instead?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"See, that's the benefit of a money system--we don't need your spells because we already have magic of our own, so with a barter system, you'd never be able to trade with us, but thanks to the money system, you can trade spells or whatever with someone else for money and then give us money for spells."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“We don’t really barter, we trade favors with friends to show that their happiness means everything to us,” Molpe says with obvious disappointment, “Ah, is a 1000 credits a lot, Aine?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, it's not a lot, but it's also not that little. From the looks of you, I'm sure you could manage it."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Oh?” Molpe perks up at that, maybe it wasn’t nearly all that bad, “how so?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Well, you're dressed very elegantly. Generally, in these mortal realms, that's the sign of someone who's important. At the least, you probably have some contacts or something that can pay for it, maybe, or even cast it. I don't know--I guess you'd know better than I."
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [SBLOCK]“Oh, thank you,” Molpe blushes feeling very good again about herself, “I spoke at the convocation and came straight cause this is very important. By chance could you look at the letter now and I could play you back later?” [/sblock]
