Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Larakese]"A small band of rogue priests and monks, their wills swayed, perhaps by Taint or the Shadow Clan, decided to end my life. I was saved from their attack by my love's intervention. He is skilled in the way of the sword, and the evil ones were not strong, only many, and brave enough when their only opponent was a helpless girl. They dispersed at a show of force, and we escaped together before they could call more powerful allies."[/SBLOCK]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK=Kurai, Larakese]“Ah, well that was certainly gallant of him, and it’s something I would expect having been friends with his nephew, as they both seem to be very different from the rest of the family. You are both most fortunate to have found each other.”[/SBLOCK]*Tiberius smiles, looking up from another finished flower.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Larakese]"Yes, the rest of his family is a bit...unusual, but as I often tell him, honouring one's family is a virtue. How would his late parents feel if he does not treat his brother well? Their spirits would be watching in disapproval...a parent's wishes are very important. If not for my Thyestes, surely I would have honoured my own father's, and I know I bring him and my family much dishonour in not doing so. Still, it may be selfish, but I do not want to lose him. The dual paths of love and honour are treacherous to walk, for they are both roads paved with daggers."

"I hope that you never find need to balance between them, tantei-san, and I wish you well in your investigation."[/SBLOCK]

*Kurai bows.

 

[unleashed]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK=Kurai, Larakese]“Thank you Kurai-san. If either of you happen to recall seeing something unusual yesterday, or at any time since you arrival, please feel free to seek us out at any time, as it may be of help to our investigation.”[/SBLOCK]*Tiberius returns Kurai’s bow, before looking to Claudia to see how she’s doing.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Claudia has managed a few rather feeble and a few mediocre lilies, though they are generally better than Tiberius's and are improving faster than Tiberius's--apparently even an unusual medium can't keep a good artist down for long.*

[SBLOCK=Larakese]"I shall be sure to do so, tantei-san," Kurai agrees.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

[SBLOCK=Vasha]"And I know this is going to sound painful, but I have to ask it. Where were you once you left your celebration to when Ammon's started? And can someone vouch for it?"

"I know such a question sounds bad, but it needs to be asked. Once we can eliminate the inocent, we can find out who's behind this dispicable attack."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Vasha]*Lynestra looks surprised and saddened that Vasha would even ask such a thing.*

"After I met all of you at the reception, I was trying on my wedding dress and having a portrait drawn--you can ask the ladies-in-waiting who helped me dress and the artist who was painting it. Also, after that, I was at dinner with my family, and they can all vouch for that. I'm hurt, Vasha--you don't...you can't think it was...it was me, do you?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

[sblock=Vasha]"No, of course not. That's why I came alone and asked. Now the rest of us invistigating can find the real killer, and not go after any false leads," Vasha says. "Now, you won't be bothered by anyone else, at least for a while. You can mourn in peace."

Vasha gives Lynestra a hug. "Death isn't something most nymphs understand, but I've seen far too much of it in my young life. But we can honor the memory of those we love by remembering them, cherishing what they taught us, and holding their ideals that we share close. The pain may never go away, but it will ease over time."[/sblock]

Mythweaver remains seated and continues to try his hand at folding the origami. He does not understand the Larakese but hopes that Tiberius is finding more information.

(OOC: Poke for the main group while also replying to Vasha)

[SBLOCK=Vasha]"Yes...I will never let those memories be forgotten, Vasha. As long as I am alive, the memory will be cherished forever! But do you think that will be enough?" Lynestra manages to speak mostly-normally, though there's a choked sob or two in there.[/SBLOCK]
