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

[Bront]

"Zythryd, I had an idea that may help you even more. I know you want to keep tabs on Alyz, and that might be the only way you'll learn to trust here. Would you like to learn the ways of the Ecomancer, so you can assist her in her work to protect Arris?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"The way of the Ecomancer? Even if that wasn't illegal, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to learn that inside of these domes, cordoned away from the planet. Besides, when they tested me, I wasn't talented enough to use magic...I'm just a simple merchant..."

 

[Bront]

"I think you can learn, and the Jhyram Arris can help with a location to learn, but it's up to you. The dragonlords do thing... differently. I can't promise I'll be a great teacher, but I think you can learn at least the basics. And besides, what are they going to do to you at this point, arrest you?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, there's no harm in trying, but I just don't think I have it in me..."

 

[Bront]

"Well, if nothing else, it will give you something else to occupy your mind, right? Besides, Puddles has been dying to talk to someone other than me." She giggles.

[sblock=OOC]I had this odd thought if Vasha did manage to raise Marrik. "Hi Daddy, I've been staying with Alyz, the woman who killed who. She's been my lover. Oh, and her Dragon companion, Louteah, she's my soul sister, and also my lover. And have you met my lover Zythryd? He thaught me how to trade slaves."

He might not be alive for long [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I guess so...Poor Puddles, he must hate being locked up like this just as much as I do..."

[SBLOCK=OOC][/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

"Oh, he loves it. He gets to play with Louteah, and she takes him for walks. I feel bad I haven't been able to spend as much time with him, but I've talked with him, and he knows I love him."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, I'm sure he does. And it seems like he's having a good time...he's freer to move about than I am, it seems."

 

[Bront]

"Well, he's always escorted everywhere, but he's not being hunted for, fortunately. Maybe, if you learn magic well enough, you'll be able do disguise yourself enough to gain some freedom. I have to put all this on to go out in public." she motions to her hair and lenses.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I'm sure any disguises I would use would be inadequate...I think your advantage is that nobody really knows what you look like, so they could only pick you out by your hair and eye colours, whereas I would be much easier to spot..."
