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

[Bront]

Vasha opens her eyes for a moment and says "Daddy?"

She stands up and looks around, getting her bearings again. "Oh, hi." she says with a somewhat disapointed smile. "Find anything interesting?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Daddy?"

"Huh?"

"Find anything interesting?"

"No, unfortunately...Not really. Too many restricted areas--that must be where all the interesting things are."

"That nice girl Louteah offered to show us around the estate, but Master Zythryd didn't want to take her tour."

 

[Bront]

"Sorry, I was... daydreaming."

"Louteah would have shown you everything if you had asked, but I guess you've had enough sluthing for one day." Vasha pulls herself out of the tub and sits on the edge. "So, what does that leave for you to do for the rest of the day?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No doubt she would have guided us carefully through the place to make sure we didn't see any secret evil places, though, assuming they exist, which admittedly they may not."

"Well, for the rest of the day, there's not much time left. I was going to see about eating dinner and then maybe going to sleep, I think. But, my, you look fully refreshed as if it was still midday."

 

[Bront]

"Symbiosis will do that. It's more refreshing that sleep, and takes very little time. I guess I just got lost in it. Is it that late already?"

Vasha gets out of the tub, and reluctantly starts it draining. "Oh, what to wear, I guess I should wear something..."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Uh, yes," Zythryd agrees, a bit embarrassed, as is Niilaa.

 

[Bront]

Vasha slips back on her shadowsilk dress and heads over to Zythryd "Ok, dinner sounds good." She accompanies the others down to the kitchen to see what's cooking.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As Vasha heads to the kitchen, she sees that tonight's meal will be a hearty tomato soup and salad with some meat and potatoes as well.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles and eats her fill, hoping for a quiet, non-eventful dinner. "So, Niilaa, have you thought about what you're going to do with your time now that you're free here?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I...don't know. Hopefully I can find some way to help around the house, like I've always done."
