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

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Certainly, ma’am,” Molpe said happily as she did just what he asked her to do, “what can I do for you?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Thank you Miss. Your assistance is appreciated."

*As the other guards gather round, the leader pulls a piece of paper from her satchel and looks at Molpe, then at the paper, then at Molpe.*

"Well, I'll be," she says finally, "It looks like the dark-haired girl who just sent the tip was right. Turquoise hair and everything too. Zykovian's done it again...Look, I'm sorry Miss, you seem like a really nice person, and I know you helpfulness here is going to help you out a bunch in court, but it looks like I'm going to have to arrest you."

*A man standing behind the guards speaks up. His hair is amethyst purple, exactly the same shade as Alire/Eri:*

"She doesn't have the Jewel. I guess Zykovian got it back. He really is a miracle-worker--bless his soul!"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]“Court? Arrest me? What did Zykovian do?” Molpe looks in totally confusion at each and every one of them, “What does “arrest me” mean?”[/sblock]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"Is she just acting ditzy on purpose," one of the guards asks the captain.

"I don't think so. I think they really don't know that much about the justice system on Amaranthia. She probably didn't know what she was doing this whole time--I do hope they let her off easily..."

"But what about the Mojiin?" the guard asks.

"They were outlaws anyway," the amethyst-haired man replies, coming forward to Molpe and giving her a reassuring hug if she allows it, "You're a cutie aren't you? You know, you remind of the beauty and love I felt in my heart many years ago when I took my little girl to visit Amaranthia. I don't think I can stay mad at someone so sweet and kind--you must not have meant any harm...Now that I'll soon have my things back anyway, once they take you to court, I plan to drop all charges against you, so you'll be alright, OK?"

"Erhem," the guard captain says, "Back to the matter at hand. Assuming you do not understand me, court is where we listen to everything about the case and then decide whether someone did or didn't do some kind of crime. Arrest means you'll have to come with us to go to court. Once you go in, we can have the charges dropped for you and you will be all clear and free of this whole thing, OK?"

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA:[sblock]* Molpe hugs the man instantly but all the words and repercussions make her timid to let him go. Her voice quivers slightly in worry. *

“I didn’t know you, sir. I’ve only been on the planet for a day so I don’t know how I could have harmed you.”[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*He was going to let go, but he notices Molpe's timidness and quavering voice, so he continues to hug her comfortingly and strokes her hair reassuringly, willing to hold on until Molpe feels more confident.*

"You took something of mine--I think it was probably by accident and you didn't know and this was all just a big misunderstanding. They still need to bring you in because of all those bandits that must have attacked you afterwards."
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

RA: [sblock]* Molpe nodded at his words, she had been after all attacked alot after all, but she wasn’t reassured by his words at all and though it did nothing for her she continued to cling to him. *

“Yes, lots of people, but I didn’t take anything even by accident,” She pleased with the man holding her royal blue eyes becoming wet with tears, “this is a horrible mistake, court scares me and so does being arrested! Please make them leave me alone! I.. I. I just want to visit my sister's and go to the convocation!” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
"It's OK, little one. Dry your tears," the man whispers softly, bringing a finger up to Molpe's eyes to wipe away the tears, "It'll be better soon, OK? It's good that you didn't take anything because I'm going to clear you of all charges and you'll be able to do whatever you want, OK? But the nice lady here is going to have to bring you in to custody because of all those attacks from the bandits and your part in defending yourself. They'll probably just ask you some questions, and you'll be safe there too, and you'll be able to show everyone how nice you really are, OK?"
[/SBLOCK]

Molpe Lilypetals: Limnad/Female (Siren)

[sblock]* Molpe nods her head at him trying to do just what he suggested with minimal success. *

“If you don’t mind me asking what’s your name, sir? How.. How. Long do you think they will arrest me for? I have to get ready for the convocation and my true sister is expecting me to be back in two hours… I don’t want to keep her waiting on me.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Molpe:
[SBLOCK]
*He continues to stroke her hair in a gentle, calming rhythm.*

"There, there, My name is Zaryl Barryn, little one. I'm really not sure how long it will take--I'm just a visitor here too. I do hope it is short enough to let you see your sister on time."
