Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

Vasha explains her massage technique of using two mage hands, and explains that she thinks she can chanel more energy into the spell to generate more hands that you might be able to use with less concentration. She helps him experiment with it, and agrees to remain dressed while he practices it. "Or you can always try it on Puddles" she giggles.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...that's a pretty tricky technique, but with your help, I think maybe I can get the hang of it," Bertram agrees, laughing along with her when she suggest Puddles, "I think Lynestra would not be pleased if I told her that massaging a dog was good practise for her."

 

[Bront]

Vasha laughs at that comment. "I'm sure she'll apprecite your hard work."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"I hope so!" Bertram agrees, laughing along with her.

 

[Bront]

As they are packing up, less than a day away from the town, Vasha approaches Bertram.

"Bertram, I've been thinking. Among the nymphs, it's tradition to call one you're close to your sister, even if they're of another race. While I don't think that's quite appropriate in your case" she grins "I was thinking that perhaps you might let me honor you and call you brother?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, if that is the way of your tradition, then how could I refuse such an honour? I would be proud to call such a strong, kind woman Sister."

 

[Bront]

She smiles and gives Bertram a big hug and a quick kiss. "Thank you." she says.

As the two of them continue on, the town appears just over the horizon.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You're welcome, little sister," Bertram replies, hugging her back.

*As they enter the town, Bertram sighs with relief that there was not another viscious attack on the way back.*

 

[Bront]

"I wonder what your parents will think when you tell them you met your new sister on Arris?" she giggles.

Vasha and Betram walk into the Parched Ruby, hoping perhaps it's either not too late, or not too early for someone to be around.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*As the two walk into the inn, the inkeeper looks directly at Vasha and then shakes his head, silently and vigorously, motioning towards the door.*
