Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

Vasha smiles warmly as she feels the dress embrace her. "This... this is special." She gives both Louteah and Alys a hug and kiss. "Thank you, I'm lucky to have Sisters like you."

"You both want to help me dye my hair? Should I go back to my old color from before I became a full nymph, or is something different better?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh, you're welcome. It's a very special sort of jewel that comes from Arris, and it will only bond with the daughters of Arris that it chooses."

"Sure, I'll help! You had beautiful ruby-red hair before, right?"

"At least on the days you're going to wear the Energyjewel dress, you'll want to match it with your old hair colour, since hair colour is an indication of what sorts of people the jewel will choose."

 

[Bront]

"Yes, it was a brilliant ruby-red. I'm at your mercy Louteah, do what you will with me." she giggles.

"Yes, and that sounds good. Won't that perhaps make others suspicious of me though? I mean, I'm guessing most people can't bond with the jewel. I just don't want to stick out more than I have too."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Okay!" Louteah nods with a smile, which lessens a little bit as she remembers "But I'm going to need just a tiny drop of blood from you. That bonds the dye to you so that you can turn the colour on and off with a thought. Is that okay?"

"Well, actually, it's quite a status symbol. Mostly the only ones who can bond with it or even afford it are Dragonlords, so I'm hoping you could probably pass as one with that dress.

 

[Bront]

"Sure, just prick my finger, I trust you."

"Oh, in that case, that could be good. Who would think I would use that as cover."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Okay," Louteah nods, making a tiny prick on Vasha's finger and drawing out a drop of blood to add to the dye, "Should I get a bandage for you, or do you want to heal that?"

*Louteah mixes the dye carefully and then begins to carefully apply it to Vasha's hair.*

"Too true! An Ecomancer masquerading as a Dragonlord? That's so outrageous that no one would suspect it."

 

[Bront]

"It will heal quickly, I'll be fine."

Vasha smiles and enjoyes the feeling of someone else working with her hair. "How long till I can use it? How long will it last? Will I be able to turn it any color?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You have to let it set and dry for an hour, but then it'll be okay. It is permanent until removed, and it lets you switch between ruby, which will return your hair to its Valsian colour, and clear, which will show your Nymph blonde colour."

"Actually, there's also one that lets you change it to any colour, but that one wears off after a day."

 

[Bront]

"I think that those two colors should be fine. No need to dye my hair every day."

"How do the lenses work?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You can just put them on and they'll make your eyes look ruby, and you can easily take them out and return to blue--normally, a Valsian Ecomancer could just return to her natural eye colour if she wants to hide, but I'm guessing that blue is natural for you now that you're a Nymph."
