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

Melody:
[SBLOCK]
*Melody bounds across the fence and then heads to the Traveler's Ward to the Laughing Sail. Amity waves to her and smiles as she enters, with a look on her face saying that she would like to hear about Melody's latest adventures but realises that Melody is tired and so will keep quiet and give Melody her key if Melody is so inclined.*

Zykovian T’Erilan, Male Altanian Hp's: 08/18

*In Seelie*[sblock]

“For you to listen to me, for you to respect my opinion in matters. Do you remember what you suggested I do when we first met?”

" . . . and so I shall, Molpe," Zykovian replied smoothly. "I will respect you opinion in mattersso long as you do the same. With trust and respect we can get pretty far. As for what I suggested, was this before I suggested you come with us somewhere safe until everything could be sorted out, or after?"

*Zykovian almost regretted pulling the nymph closer for she seemed even more beautiful so close. Leaning in he gathered himself, and spoke softly so as to not disturb the others as they shuffled in.*[/sblock]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

* With her royal blue eyes focusing upon his sky blue eyes Molpe sounds hurt as she replied briefly in Seelie while her full lips pout in a manner that offered Zykovian no reprieve but she also offered no struggle as he used his bow to pull her closer. *

Seelie: [sblock]“Before but after you shot an arrow at me.”[/sblock]

Melody

Rystil:
[SBLOCK]“Still up? Yes, as you see, I'm dead tired, which is a much preferable condition than dead, at least. I'll tell you tomorrow, but now I really need to rest. Oh, and before I forget... I suppose you know that already, but just in case... most people do not know, who I am and that I am not pure Rowaini, and I really prefer it that way. I want to choose if and when to tell anyone about that. Okay, as I said, you probably know that already and I'm just tired. Good night, Amity! I will see you tomorrow.” With a weak yet friendly smile, Melody vanishes into her room and into more than needed sleep, dreaming about tomorrow and distant worlds.[/SBLOCK]

“Before but after you shot an arrow at me.”

*Zykovian smiled, pleased for once that an arrow missed.*"Was that the arrow after you tried using your womanly wiles on me?" Zykovian asked. He thought for a moment, or tried to think with Molpe so close, his mind reviewing the conversation. "I believe I asked you who the theives were . . . and who invited you to the convocation?"[/sblock]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

* Molpe grinned, the anger quickly running out of her, but she shook her head as a teasing, flirty, “no, no” expression crossed her face. *

Seelie:[sblock]“Would those be the same wiles you seem so interested in now, Zykovian? Very close, mister T’Erilan, but you told me to be suspicious of those around me did you not? That the ones responsible where more than likely close to me yet when I did voice my suspicions you ignored them, why? I think you don’t really value you my opinion after all, just my prescience.”[/sblock]

* Her expression quickly changed back to one of pouting, she was obviously hurt by the very thought of that idea. *

“Would those be the same wiles you seem so interested in now, Zykovian? Very close, mister T’Erilan, but you told me to be suspicious of those around me did you not? That the ones responsible where more than likely close to me yet when I did voice my suspicions you ignored them, why? I think you don’t really value you my opinion after all, just my prescience.”

"Interested?" Zykovian repeated, unconsciously nodded his head, "Perhaps, miss Lilypetals . . . ." Zykovian closed his sky blue eyes a moment ot two, opening and blinking them a couple of times. "You are referring to my companion, Melody, of course. I understood your concerns, and actually have some of my own, regardless of the fact that several trusted people have vouched for her. I believe in Abdiel and he trusts her, and I believe you when you voice your concerns. With everything that has happened, I am not unhappy that she left. I wonder if you had told her to leave again if she would have stayed . . . She, like you, was unprepared for the violence of the day. Which makes me doubt she is behind any of this . . . ."

"I like that you have suspicions, and I listened when you voiced them . . . I did. I worked through the variables in my mind, adding your concerns to them. I'm just afraid my brain is a bit too fatigued to process it all. OR it could be that there is someone intoxicating . . . and extremely close . . . that is clouding my thoughts." *Zykovian grinned and raised an eyebrow in false suscipion of Molpe and her . . . charms.*[/sblock]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

Seelie: [SBlock]“I see. Well I do not like the fact that I have suspicions, mister T’Erilan. I believe that they hinder oneself from seeing the value that anyone has and I think I will now leave being suspicious of others to you, and you alone.” [/SBlock]

* A small smile finally broke out on the nymph’s features of loveliness and perfection as she leaned in, bringing with her a natural aroma that smelled fondly of damp light rain and waterfalls, and whispered into his ear. *

Seelie: [SBlock]“If you’ve found yourself intoxicated, or under a spell, it’s either natural or not my doing, I promise you that, but sense you rather trust your suspicions than take someone at face value, Zykovian, I would be curious to know what you think the source of this effect is?” [/SBlock]

“I see. Well I do not like the fact that I have suspicions, mister T’Erilan. I believe that they hinder oneself from seeing the value that anyone has and I think I will now leave being suspicious of others to you, and you alone.”

"Very well, miss Lilypetals, I will try to be suspicious enough for the both of us," Zykovian replied, then asked in a different tone, "Are we finished being so formal, then?" [/SBlock]

*Zykovian jerked a bit as a particularly knotted muscle loosened under the movement of the chair. He eyed the room a moment, to see who else had entered.*

*In Seelie*[SBlock]

“If you’ve found yourself intoxicated, or under a spell, it’s either natural or not my doing, . . . Zykovian, I would be curious to know what you think the source of this effect is?”

"Oh the source is clearly evident, and it's definitely natural . . . or perhaps not. Something so mesmerizing, so beautiful, so kind surely can't be natural - perhaps from the heavens above?" Zykovian teased. [/SBlock]

*The rest of the others have arrived, except Bellangere and Fedowin who might be straying a step or two behind.*
