Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"Louteah, you are such a special woman, and I'm glad you shared it with me." She draws Louteah into a big hug and a gentile kiss.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Thank you Vasha. You're so nice to me. Some people would be afraid of me if they knew I was a dragon."

 

[Bront]

"It's not what you are, it's who you are that counts. There are people who think I'm just a silly nymph, but you take me seriously. Some people are so afraid of the unknown, where I'd rather learn to know you first. And I'm glad I did. I love you Sister, and nothing will change that."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Thank you, Sister. I have so few friends other than Alyz that it is nice to meet someone else I can talk to like I do with you."

 

[Bront]

"That's what Sisters are for." Vasha says with a smile. She holds Louteah's hand tenderly and reasuringly. "I don't offer to share my love with many, only those I am close to. My offer is open to you, if you want, to explore our love fully and physicaly. But I will always share love with you on many other levels as well, and that is being there and caring and sharing."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I don't think I'm ready for that fully thing yet, but just the way that you are there for me, caring and kind, is enough to make me happy."

 

[Bront]

Vasha draws Louteah into a warm hug. "Well, that means I'm happy then, and that's what is important."

Vasha changes into her red dress, with matching hair and eyes, and then she and Louteah spend some time running around with Puddles till Alyz gets back.

"Any news?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, he's still being questioned. We'll have to wait a while longer, yet. Want to do some study on the Jewel now?"

 

[Bront]

"Yes, we should get started on that. I'm worried that the best place for that might be out by an oasis, but we can see what we can do here."

"I'll see you tonight Louteah."

Vasha heads off with Alyz to work on the Jewel issue. As they walk towards the lab, Vasha says to Alyz "I know Louteah's secret, and don't worry, it's safe with me. I could never do anything to harm my Sisters."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Wow, I'm surprised she told you. She's very paranoid about a Dragonlord finding her and trying to enslave her...Poor Louteah...Her mother was killed by the Dragonlords, so I'm all she's had..."
