Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes...I guess so--" Bertram replies, as they make their way away from the Mojiin village, "I don't suppose I will be getting the object back from the Dragonlords, most likely..."

*Looking at Vasha, he lays a gentle hand on her shoulder reassuringly:*

"It's going to be OK, Vasha...But, you look upset. Is there anything you want to talk about? If you'd rather not talk about it, I understand."

 

[Bront]

At this, she looses all remaining composure and falls to her knees, sobbing. "I .. I finaly know what happened to father *Sniff* but I didn't... didn't care what Gralas had done. I know what he did was beyond him."

She leans against Bertram "I was hoping to learn about my family again, and Gralas was there. But just as he's there he's gone again."

She continues to sob, overtaken by emotion.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Bertram puts his arm around her.*

"There, there, Vasha. It's going to be alright. In fact, I would imagine that Gralas is happier today, just by being able to see you again, to know that you were safe, and to be able to save you under his own power, than he was all those years of languishing away and thinking he caused you to suffer."

 

[Bront]

"Do... Do you realy think so?" she asks, looking at bertram Behind saddened eyes. "Do you think I'll ever see him again?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I do think so...And I am sure you will see him again some day, if fortune smiles on you," Bertram says kindly.

 

[Bront]

Vasha pulls Bertram close and gives him a very passionate kiss. "Thank you" she says, her voice begining to regian composure again, "you've been so good to me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As Vasha begins the passionate kiss, Bertram's eyes go wide at first and he seems surprised, but as he looks at the nymph and sees her choked with emotion, his expression softens, and he holds her gently, accepting her kiss.*

"You're welcome, Vasha...I find it hard to ignore a girl in need."

 

[Bront]

She smiles and says "You'll make a fine husband. Lynestra is a lucky woman."

Vasha takes a few moments to straighten up, and they continue their journey.

 

[Bront]

On the way back, inbetween instructing Bertram of her Massage Spell technique and attempting to perfect her massage spell, Vasha asks "Bertram, where and when is your wedding?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You'll make a fine husband. Lynestra is a lucky woman."

"Thank you Vasha, I hope so...Hopefully my philandering ways won't get me in trouble," he jokes.

"Bertram, where and when is your wedding?"

"Well, we're not sure when yet, or exactly where--probably some time in the next year or two, though. I'll send you an invitation with all the information when I know, OK?"
