Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

She nods to Louteah.

"Yes, something horable happened today, and much like before, another one in my life is being hurt because of it. Zythryd I hope will be ok, Alyz has a plan to help him. But I found out that Bertram and Gralas are ok, so that's good news."

She giggles and scratches Puddle's head "I know you love me, I love you too Puddles. You're always there for me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Puddles cuddles up against Vasha and continues licking her.*

'Bertram and Gralas are nice. I'm glad they're OK! And don't worry--I'll be there when you need me, no matter what.'

 

[Bront]

"Louteah, have you ever tried to speak with Puddles? He's quite the talker." she giggles.

"Thank you Puddles, that's reassuring. I'm going to take a bath now, but Louteah said she'd love to play with you, and I'll be in the tub over there."

Vasha sheds her dress and begins to draw up a bath.

"Well, I talk to him a lot when I'm taking care of him, but I don't have the magic that lets us truly communicate," Louteah replies, taking Puddles in her arms and giving him a hug as she carries him over to the other side of the room to play with him.

 

[Bront]

"Oh, I thought you were studying that sort of thing. I could try to teach you sometime if you'd like, he'd love to speak with you."

"You'd love to talk with Louteah, wouldn't you Puddles?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, not exactly. It's more that I am studying culture and learning more about myself. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to learn to harness the magic of Arris yet, though maybe when I'm older I'll improve. I'd love to speak to Puddles, though. He's such a sweetie. Aren't you boy?"

'Sure! She's a nice girl--she even gives me treats a lot and plays with me and then the little girl plays with me too, and sometimes we play together.'

 

[Bront]

"Well, he says you're realy nice to him and he likes you. He says he'd love to talk to you."

"Puddles, she's still learning, but perhaps someday, she'll speak with you. But untill then, she'd love to keep playing with you. She think's you're a sweetie, and you are."

Vasha slips into the water of the bath. sighing in relief. "You sure you don't want to join me Louteah? The bath water is great, and there's plenty of room."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Aww, that's sweet. You're a sweet doggie, Puddles," Louteah says, petting the big dog's soft fur and mussing it a little, as he licks her affectionately and wags his tail.

'I like playing with her too. Louteah's nice. I know she'll learn some time.'

"I'm sorry, I just don't know if I'd be comfortable with that...It seems so awkward for me..."

 

[Bront]

"It will always feel awkward till you do it. You're a beautiful girl, and don't worry, I won't do anything you're realy not ready for. Just a relaxing bath."

With that, Vasha closes her eyes and lets her body go, as she lets the water relax her.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Just a bath? Well, I guess if that's it...maybe that's okay."
