Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Rystil Arden]

*Looking for Thyestes and asking around, they run across the butler.*

"Good evening sirs and lady. Lord Thyestes is not available at the moment, but if you like, I can set you up to meet him tomorrow morning at your earliest convenience."

“Well, I suppose that will have to do,” Tiberius replies, a hint of frustration in his voice. “Hmm, what hour is it now, if you know?”

Once we know what hour it is and Mythweaver and Tiberius have had a chance to move off, "Does that sound a bit odd to you? Every other guest has been available to one extent or another even those closer to Ammon."

"It would be about halfway from First Dark to Midnight now, sir," the butler offers.

“That late... okay, thank you,” Tiberius says, before moving away with the group. “Well, I suppose he might be abed for the evening by now, so no not all that strange. We should probably seek our own beds soon too, considering the hour.”

*Claudia yawns.*

"I agree," she leans her head gently against Tiberius's shoulder, "Getting to bed now may be best. We can talk to this Thyestes in the morning, and then who do we have left?"

“Hmm, well after Thyestes and his companion, I think we have yet to question Lord Atreus, Lady Aerope, Amber, Lynestra, Helena, Kastor, and Plydek, my dear... plus all the staff of course,” Tiberius answers, turning to kiss the top of Claudia's head as she rests against his shoulder.

"I spoke with Helena earlier, and I think with her... gifts... it's unlikely she could have made it here unnoticed," Vasha says.

“Yes, I couldn’t remember if you’d spoken to Helena or not, Vasha, though Mythweaver might wish to ask her more questions, as he wasn’t present when you spoke with her. And while I agree it’s unlikely she could have made it to Ammon’s suite unnoticed, by normal means at least, there is the fact we found Ammon naked and apparently dispatched without a struggle. That, I’m sorry to say, is something her gifts might easily accomplish,” Tiberius replies, colouring a little as he recalls how easily he capitulated to her gifts himself.

Shaking off the unease that memory provokes, he quickly adds, “Well, if that’s it for the evening, I think we’ll return to our room.” If no one suggests anything else they need to discuss right now, Tiberius and Claudia say goodnight and head for their room.

(OOC: unleashed--If you want, we can RP Tiberius and Claudia somewhere else and skip to the morning or just skip to the morning without. The same goes for anyone else who wants to do some light roleplaying that isn't directly related to the mystery (just so we don't slow down the rest of the group ))
