Destiny's Tears-Prologue: A Jewel in the Shadow Part I

Melody, Dolathi Eldritch Infiltrator

A/Z/(F) (Seelie):

[SBLOCK]“Amity speaks quite a few languages, doesn't she? She must have traveled to many worlds. Maybe after tomorrow, I will be able to travel a lot, too. What languages do you speak, Abdiel from Arris? Just to know when one should notify you or could expect you to understand. You really need to learn the Dolathi language. It's what most people speak, not only here.”[/SBLOCK]

“Amity speaks quite a few languages, doesn't she? She must have traveled to many worlds. Maybe after tomorrow, I will be able to travel a lot, too. What languages do you speak, Abdiel from Arris? Just to know when one should notify you or could expect you to understand. You really need to learn the Dolathi language. It's what most people speak, not only here.”

"Amity does speak many languages. She surprised me when I came in by speaking perfect Mojiin. As I told her, she is very similar to the Peratok bird from home, in that she seems to be able to change to adapt to any situation. A very useful skill. Of course, she is much friendlier than the average Peratok who usually greets people by trying to pluck out their eyes."

"Unfortunately I do not speak many languages, as I can only speak Mojiin, Lifesong and Seelie. Seeing as I know that it is mostly Mojiin who speak the first two, I am really limited to Seelie. You are right that I should learn other languages, and I have been thinking of trying to learn the Dolathi language, but I have not had anybody to teach me yet." Abdiel pauses slightly, as if trying to decide whether to continue. "If we end up on a Spelljamming ship together, would you be willing to teach me this language. I am not sure how I could repay you, but I am sure that we would think of something."

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe ignores the question for the moment and reaches out for the woman as she breaks into a coughing fit. It might not have been a smart thing to do, as the woman was obviously inflicted with numerous ailments some of which might be spread by touch, but for someone still trying to make amends for her actions, like Molpe, and who’s use to close physical contact even among friends, also like Molpe, it happened without a second thought. Molpe held onto the woman supportively until the coughing fit that plagued her body had passed and then slowly she let go but not until she was sure the woman could hold herself up. *

Her large royal blue eyes wide in worry Molpe asked a question also caked in honest worry, “Lady, are you okay?” before answer the woman’s unanswered question, “We found a young girl and after having a wonderful day with her she brought us home to meet her mom.”[/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*Her eyes widen incredulously when Molpe reaches out and holds onto her and when she hears Molpe's words, she begins to cry softly in the Limnad's arms, the filmy build-up in her left eye preventing the tears from being seen as easily as they are in the right. "My daughter...I told her not to bother the well-to-do passers-by," she says, not seeming to be truly reprimanding though, "I never expected such an act to result in kindness such as yours, rather than imprisonment for breaking the peace..."

*Suddenly, a familiar sing-song voice calls out from around the corner.*

"Sorry guys, she's not here yet. Where'd you go Wee-Hun and Miss Molpe?"

"Wee-Hun--Wei-Han? Tokuwa, domo niyou ranbu rikko Wei-Han? Sonosu oto Larakese doji Ryuko si ranbu rikko Wei-Han." the woman says to Wei-Han.

"Hai. Esune, suteki da ne? Soroshi, 'Wei' ranbu rikko zarisen jasuseiru Lara-Kai. Reduke, ranbu 'Han' argo sagita-sakura, ne zomaishta," he replies.

Abdiel & Melody:
[SBLOCK]

When he opens his eyes again, his demeanor seems to have changed. He addresses Zykovian, "It would seem that we have not sown the proper seeds. We should prune the sapling so that it may grow straight. Please accept my apologies, I am not usually so curt, or quick to render judgment. Greetings Zykovian, my name is Abdiel from the planet Arris."

Zykovian extended his own arm in a similar manner and said, “I am Zykovian T’Erilan from the planet of Vanarca. I am unfamiliar with your customs . . . .” Zykovian waited to see how the greeting would take place, whether by arm or hand, shake or not, etc. He would allow the Mojiin to instruct him.

**Rystil Only**
[sblock] ‘Unless the ‘pruning the sapling’ means he’s going to take my arm off,’ Zykovian thought. ‘then there would be some issues to be dealt with here.’[/sblock]
"Amity is quite an amazing one, I would have to admit," Zykovian replied to Melody and Abdiel regarding Amity's use of language.

All but Molpe:
[SBLOCK]

Zykovian waited to see how the greeting would take place, whether by arm or hand, shake or not, etc. He would allow the Mojiin to instruct him.

Abdiel grabs Zykovian's hand and shakes it. With a bit of a grin he says "Actually, we do not have any such greeting at home, this is a greeting that I learned during my travels."

"Would you please excuse me? I need to step outside for a short while, the air and noise in here is starting to get oppressive. I will be right back."

With that said, Abdiel stands and walks out of the front door.

Abdiel will step outside, and try to determine what has Selar so excited. Does he feel anything special? If necessary, he will call Selar down and try to determine what is going on.

Abdiel:
[SBLOCK]
*After the others give him the okay to step outside, Abdiel calls Selar to him and tries to determine what's going on*

*The eagle swoops down from the rooftop playfully and nuzzles against the Mojiin's side. For some reason, Abdiels catches a glint of red energy in his eyes, but then it is gone. What could this be?*

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe simply nodded her head in understand of Esperanza’s mother’s words but she didn’t really understand how a young girl talking to someone could result in imprisonment. She had been on the verge of reply when she hears Esperanza calling for them, and then raided fire exchange of words she didn’t know, and though she watch the curiously Molpe went to retrieve Esperanza. *

Lifting the young girl up carefully Molpe smiled happily, “its okay, little one, we found her.”

* With young girl in her arms Molpe returned to the conversation between Wei-Han and Esperanza’s mother. *[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Mommy!" Esperanza pops out of Molpe's hands and runs to give her mother a big hug, while the older woman stares wide-eyed at Esperanza, whom she has never really seen fully clean before. The girl, hugs her mother enthusiastically, while spitting off what is probably a story of her adventures with Molpe and Wei-Han, but has so few breaks between words that it is clearly impossible for anyone to understand the words, though the emotion behind them is clear.

"That's wonderful, my little jewel!" the older woman says, crying a little bit as she smiles and strokes the little girl's hair, when there is suddenly a quiet, sickening popping sound caused by Esperanza's vigorous hugging. The mother winces in pain, continuing, "I'm not sure mommy is strong enough to keep up with your hugging today little one," and she tickles the young girl to loosen her grip in a playful way.

Esperanza continues, at least comprehendably this time "Anyways, Miss Molpe is my biggest hero, except you mommy, and you know what? When she made a mistake and thought some money was mine, you know what? I told her that you said that I shouldn't take things that don't belong to me because that's stealing! Aren't you proud of me?"

"Yes my dear," the bedraggled woman replies, coughing pitifully but trying her best to stifle it, "You're mommy's good little girl. Oh, I love you so Esperanza! I only wish I could be there for you more."

"I'd be the happiest girl ever if you could stay with me all day, mommy, but I know you do working stuff so I can have some food and stuff."

"That's true child. But see, you've brought us most excellent heroes as guests! Run and set our table and make the place presentable, and mommy and your new friends will be right behind you."

*As soon as Esperanza leaves, the woman falls backwards into Molpe's arms in a hackign and coughing fit for several minutes, and when she finally gets enough air to speak, she kisses Molpe's dress and wheezes out*

"Bless you, my lady Molpe, for being so kind to my poor little Esperanza!"
