Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Rystil Arden]

*They head over to find Lynestra, eventually locating her in the guest rooms she has been given for her time here. Her door is unlocked, and they see her in her room sitting on her bed in her wedding dress, with the white veil switched out for a black one, sobbing inconsolably as she gazes down at a picture of herself and Ammon together held in her hands. She doesn't seem to notice their entry.*

*Tiberius looks at Claudia, before crossing to Lynestra and taking a seat near her on the edge of the bed.*

“We’re sorry to intrude, Lynestra, but we need to talk with you about Ammon...”

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Lynestra looks up.*

"I'm sorry...please...I'm not in any state to talk right now. Please...leave me to my grief?"

“I’m sorry Lynestra, I suppose we could let you have a little time to grieve, but I’m afraid we can’t wait too long to speak with you,” Tiberius offers compassionately. “Would you like to have anyone to sit with you, or would you prefer to be by yourself?”

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No...I'd rather be alone," Lynestra says, her head bowed, hiding her tears.

“I understand,” Tiberius says, looking at Claudia briefly as he utters those words. “Be assured we’re going to do everything we can to find out who did this, and bring them to justice... it’s not much consolation I know, but it’s the best we can offer.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Lynestra begins to sob harder, but she steadies herself enough to say, quietly and simply:*

"Thank you..."

“We’ll return later to see how you are, Lynestra, if nothing else...”

*Tiberius shepherds the group out of the room, and a short way down the hall.*

“So, anyone in particular you’d like to speak with next Mythweaver? Any ideas, Claudia? I’d think the rest of Ammon’s family first, as they may have an inkling of why or possibly who might want Ammon dead, but his mother may not be much better off than Lynestra, and I don’t know if Orin has knowledge of anything except hunting...”

 

[Bront]

When Vasha finishes gathering info, she will go to talk to Helena herself, (She'll let El and Ferris wait outside).

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vasha finds Helena in her room, leaving El behind (Ferris is elsewhere).*
