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

[Rystil Arden]

*Niilaa smiles at Vasha's praise.*

"I might not be a slave in name now, but I still perform that same role in life, and I am content. I'm not really good at anything else, and at least this gives me a home in the dome, instead of starving out in the desert..."

"I helped you find an answer? Really? What was your answer?"

 

[Bront]

"I still think you could learn more, if you set your mind to it. Alyz enjoys helping slaves learn new things and setting their life to more. If you're happy, great, but don't be afraid to explore a bit. I think you'll find there's more to you than you thought."

"That I shouldn't judge myself based on just this one spell."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I'm sure some people have inner talents or something, but I'm just a simple woman...I've never been as smart as most of the others, but I've always hoped that if I work hard and am kind to others, I could get along that way...Of course, it didn't work so well, and others took advantage of me and I became a slave, but I found I was much better at life as a slave. Things were so much simpler, simple enough for me to stay on top of everything, and my servitude protected me from the harsh realities of those that want to take advantage of me...."

"Of course you shouldn't! You have to look at the big picture of everything. In fact, it probably wasn't a dark magic, just a really hard one that took a lot out of you or something. You could consider it a great honour that you managed such a powerful spell, right?"

 

[Bront]

"Well, you now have the opertunity to pursue other things if you wish Niilaa, don't let that go to waste, even if you stay to serve Alyz here."

"Yes, i guess it is."

Vasha hugs Niilaa "You're wiser than you give yourself credit for. Thank you for everything."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You're welcome, Vasha..." Niilaa blushes, the crimson matching her ruby hair fetchingly, and she smiles happily, "I'm just glad I was able to help someone...You know, until I came here, nobody except Master Zythryd ever thanked me for anything, and that includes back before I was a slave..."

 

[Bront]

"Well, that's a shame, but things are different now. We're all a family, in a way. I'm glad you like it here."

Vasha gives Niilaa a hug, and takes some quick mental notes on Niilaa's size, she'll ask Louteah about getting her a nice dress later.

"I'm off to find Zythryd. Take care Niilaa, and enjoy yourself, ok?"

After letting her respond, she waves and sets off to see Zythryd.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Umm...okay, Vasha. I'll try, I guess, though I'm not really sure what I enjoy, to tell you the truth. I guess I like doing work--it gives something to do to pass the time."

 

[Bront]

"Maybe I'll see if I can find you something Niilaa."

With that, she sets off to find Zythryd.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Vasha looks around for Zythryd and eventually finds him sitting in his room, staring at the back wall. When he hears the door open, he begins to whirl around, calling:*

"Who's there? Vasha?"

 

[Bront]

"Hi" Vasha says with a smile. "What are you doing in here?"
