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

[Rystil Arden]

*There are small tears in Zythryd's eyes, but he wipes them away quickly:*

"Oh Vasha! I was so afraid that Lhyzra had done something terrible to you...except that then when she disappeared too, I thought maybe you were both dead...I tried to ask Louteah, but she refused to talk to me..."

"You brought your father back from...But...that's impossible!"

 

[Bront]

"Louteah was realy hurt by you earlier. You owe her an appology for your rudeness. Alyz too. Not for your suspicious, but you shouldn't have been so mean about them. Louteah will talk with you once you do that."

"We did it... well, Alyz did it, I just helped. But took a lot out of both of us, and she's in bad shape. I need to tend to her."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well she left me hanging for nearly a week when your life was in danger, and I couldn't find out what was wrong or anything! Do you know how scared I was? She should apologise to me!"

"You just recovered from your coma, and you're already heading over to tend Lhyzra?...despite the fact that I don't like her or trust her, I have to admire that in you, Vasha."

 

[Bront]

"You hurt her deeply enough she was scared to be in the same room with you Zythryd. She's... well... she's young, impressionable, and quite fragile. She does admire one thing in you though." She gives him a tender kiss. "She admires how much you care for me." She smiles warmly.

"I spent some time in spring water, and that heals me much faster than you might expect. I'm fine now, but the sooner I help Alyz, the sooner I can help Daddy recover." She pauses "Zythryd, she was willing to give her own life so he could live again, and I saw the look of regret in her eye when she endangered mine too. But above all, she's my Sister, and I must help her."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...from observing her, you may be right...Poor thing, entangled up with Lhyzra Valthyne..."

"Well...do what you must, I guess. Just don't go putting yourself in great peril like that again, alright?"

 

[Bront]

"Do you think you can muster up an appology then?"

(She'll wait for an answer before she leaves)

"I'll try, but this was to save a life, and I think you understand how seriously I take life." She gives him a kiss. "Thank you for caring."

Vasha heads off to find Louteah, and then Alyz.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I'll think about it, but don't count on it, okay?"

"Is it worth it to risk losing your own life, though?"

*Vasha heads off and finds Louteah eating breakfast in the dining room.*

 

[Bront]

"Can you please? For me?"

"Sometime it is."

"Mmm, that looks good Soul Sister."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I said I'll think about it, Vasha...That's the most I can promise."

"Yes it does. Briin made it. Here, there's some for you, under the platter to keep it warm."

 

[Bront]

"Oooh, thanks." Vasha eats somewhat sparingly, though while hungry, her symbiosis has helped with her hunger as well.

"We should check on Alyz, I hope I can help her."
