Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery, Part II

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I'd be glad to come with you, but I don't know what your new friends will think of you bringing your mother along," Ashana teases, smiling and giggling a bit, "Maybe I could pretend to be your birth sister--we look about the same age as far as most other races see things."

 

[Bront]

"I think Bertram would be glad to meet you. Besides, most people see Nymphs and assume when they talk of family it's all just adopted. Who knows, you look good enough to be my daughter." She giggles.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I guess that's true, 'Mommy'," Ashana teases, "So, when do we leave?"

 

[Bront]

"I don't know, haven't booked a trip yet, and figured I'd stay a few days, but if you're coming, I guess there's no need other than to pack. Puddles will be so happy, I think he's missed you."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I've missed him too--I've got so used to having the big lug around that it's almost been a bit quiet and lonely without him."

*Ashana turns to enfold Puddles in a big hug as she musses the hair on top of his head and talks to him in Vaelysh:*

"Who's a good doggie? You. Yes you are!

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles and casts her speak with animals spell.

"Mother's glad to see you Puddles."

 

[Rystil Arden]

-I'm glad to see her too! I've missed her. She's so nice!-

"Ah, speaking with him using magic?"

 

[Bront]

Vasha nods. "It helps pass the time, and he likes it. He says he misses you."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Silly doggie, I'm right here for you now...I remember when...when Marrik first got Puddles as a cute little puppy, and he always liked to splash around in the oasis on Arris..."

 

[Bront]

"That's why I named him Puddles." Vasha giggles

"Let's stay here tonight, and then head off to find a ship to the The Lyradar Sphere"
