Diplomatic Immunity: Funeral Procession

[Erekose13]

"Together will be fine for now really. I too apologize for the interruption, we have been put in charge of the investigation and would like to figure out where everyone was during the events yesterday." replies Mythweaver.

"I see, so you're those visitors," Thyestes replies quietly, turning around slightly to look at them, "Would you care to join us? Kurai and I are folding paper lilies with short poems on them to set adrift on the river for Ammon. It is said in Lara Kai that when a noble figure dies, this tribute will help ensure they rest peacefully in the afterlife, as the poems drift into the Celestial Court and swirl around the spirit as evidence of its greatness in life. Ammon had a poet's soul, so I'm sure he would appreciate it."

“Yes, I’m sure he would,” Tiberius agrees, “and I think we can spare a few minutes to join you in your tribute to Ammon.”

*Tiberius sits and watches them fold a few more, before trying one himself and setting it on the river.*

*Tiberius finds it difficult to see what Thyestes is doing exactly and utterly impossible to figure it out from Kurai, whose hands move in a blur that ends with a perfect folded lily in what seems like a single smooth motion. When she notices his watching, she slows down and makes each fold very slowly, and he's able to memorise the order, at least, though when he goes to do it himself, the folded lily isn't great. Still, not bad for a first try.*

*Tiberius notices Kurai’s extremely fast hands, and files that bit of information away for later discussion, before she slows down to show him how to make the lily. After making his first lily, Tiberius looks around for Claudia and gestures for her to come sit with him, as he begins to slowly make another.*

Mythweaver joins Tiberius and Thyestes and his wife folding cranes as well. The Byblan's hands proove only slightly more deft than Tiberius'; he is still quite slow. "I am wondering, my lord, what you have heard regarding the events of yesterday?"

*Claudia comes to join Tiberius, and soon all five are folding paper lilies.*

"I have heard but little. I awakened this morning to the news of my nephew's tragic death. I heard it looks like a suicide but they aren't sure, so they have an investigation in the works--that would be you folks, I presume."

 

[Bront]

In the morning, Vasha will go to visit Lynestra.

OOC: RA, check out a few of the LEB proposals please. In particular, the 2 I have

(OOC: Lynestra instead of Thyestes with the others? Want to split to another thread or just use SBLOCKs?)

“Yes, that’s us... though I’d much prefer it wasn’t,” Tiberius sighs, as he finishes folding another lily and places it on the water. “I’m still a little concerned that Atreus felt we’d do a better job than his own people, though it’s probably just a political contrivance, so he can say there was no bias in the investigation.”
