Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Rystil Arden]

"It's a little bit of both. First, it is custom for the groom not to see the bride or the rest of the bride's family on the day before the wedding and vice versa with the bride and the groom's family. Second, well, it isn't a secret that Ammon didn't exactly adore the rest of the family. Come to think, neither do I, really. It isn't surprising that given the choice to talk with Orin or no one, he would find some quiet place to sit alone and write poetry or something."

“Yes, after speaking with Orin last evening, I can certainly understand that... he has some rather distasteful ideas about women, to say the least,” Tiberius replies. “So, how long ago did you and Kurai meet, Thyestes, and where if I may ask?”

*Tiberius waits for an answer to his question, before he speaks to Kurai in Larakese.*

[SBLOCK=Kurai]“Pardon me Kurai-san, I could not help but notice how perfectly and quickly you fold the paper lilies. Did it take long to reach such a level of mastery?”[/SBLOCK]

[sblock=Vasha]Vasha walks over and hugs Lynestra, tears welling in her eyes as well. "I'm so sorry, this is just so wrong. This was supposed to be a happy time for you both."[/sblock]

"Just this past year," Thyestes replies, "I was on Xarata and I met Kurai. The two of us fell deeply in love."

[SBLOCK=Larakese]"You speak the Imperial Tongue? I am impressed, tantei-san. For many, the art is difficult to learn. I have been doing it since I was a little girl, so it is easier for me, and as well, my hands are deft and slender as one who works at needlecraft and paper-folding while yours are big and strong, made for war."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Vasha]"Oh Vasha! How could this have happened? Have they figured it out?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

[sblock=Vasha]"Not yet, but I'm helping to investigate. I won't let whoever did it get away with it."

"You wouldn't know anyone who'd want to harm him, would you?"[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Vasha]"No, he was a gentle soul...I don't know anyone who would want to hurt him..."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Kurai, Larakese]“Indeed, Kurai-san, though I hope you’ll pardon my grammar, as I don’t find much chance to practice your language amongst my own people,” Tiberius replies looking down at his own hands, as he folds another flower. “Hmm, yes, I suppose your hands are more suited to paper-folding and other delicate tasks than mine. So how did you meet Thyestes-san, if I might ask?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Larakese]"We met this past year on my home planet. He saved me from certain death, and we fell in love, so I returned here with him."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Kurai, Larakese]“Certain death?” Tiberius inquires, his interest whetted.[/SBLOCK]
