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

[Rystil Arden]

"What do you mean the Crown will not be happy that you were on my ship? I thought you just said they put you here? Vasha, eh? I heard that name while we were in port at Valtharyn...you're the outlaw who stole artefact of Valthos belonging to the Dragonemperor..."

 

[Bront]

"Don't believe what you hear. The crown simply wishes to make my life miserable, taking away my family, friends, and loved ones because I have... idealistic differences in my beliefs."

"Look, Captain, I don't want to cause any trouble. I can make myself scarce, and resume my Valsian cover. As far as your crew need be concerned, I am Vhazlii Griiash, sent to covertly watch Lhyzra's package." She rumages through her haversack, looking for money, or anything else out of place or of use. "I can even pay you some how."

Vasha looks at the captain with puppy dog eyes and bats her eyelashes. "Please, Captain..."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The captain sighs at Vasha's plea.*

"Oh...I'm too soft for my own good. And besides, I'm not too big a fan of the Valsian royalty...If you can pay your passage, I'll keep this between us."

*Vasha finds all of her things in the haversack, as well as a small pouch containing money and a folded piece of paper.*

(OOC: Nice Diplomacy roll)

 

[Bront]

"Thank you Captain... I'm sorry, I don't know your name." Vasha opens her pouch and does a quick count to herself. "How much do I owe you Captain <name if he gives it to me>?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"My name is Guillaume Varont. You have Valryts, right? Five Amethyst Valryts should do."

*Vasha counts 50 Amethyst Valryts in the pouch.*

 

[Bront]

Vasha pulls out 5 Valryts and hands them over to the Captain. "Thank you Captain Varont," she says. Vasha gives the Captain a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "You're a real sweetheart."

Vasha puts her lenses back in, and shifts her hair red. "So, Captain Varont, where would you have me stay?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, you seem to have made out pretty well so far in the cargo hold...if not there, then you could sleep on the deck, I guess, or if you insist, you could use my cabin."

 

[Bront]

"The hold will be fine. I wouldn't want to displace you. How many days away from Eldiz are we?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Just under two days left. Our journey is almost at an end."

 

[Bront]

"Good, then I'll let you be. Simply let me know when we're ready to land, and I'll make myself scarce as quickly as possable."

Vasha heads for the door, turns and says "Is there anything else you need Captain?"
