Diplomatic Immunity--Preface: Vasha's Discovery

[Bront]

"I'm glad to hear," Vasha replies. "I hope you weren't put out by waiting for me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No, not a problem. It gave me time to try to relax."

 

[Bront]

"Well, I'm glad I could help you relax," she smiles. She looks into his eyes and asks "So, what's going on in the mind of Zythryd?" with a curious smile.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"In my mind? Well, I'm thinking that this inn has very good Jhalaa, though perhaps the Jhalaa only tastes better for the company and perhaps because I'm more relaxed. I'm also marvelling at the incredible beauty of my lovely companion."

 

[Bront]

Vasha blushes a bit "You're too kind. You act as if you've never seen a beautiful woman before."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well I have...but after my first love ended in betrayal, I've simply ignored any woman unless she was sincere...And until you, Vasha, I can't say I've found any who I could say was so, even if they were beautiful."

 

[Bront]

Vasha smiles warmly and gives Zythryd and tender kiss. "You say such sweet things. And I knew there was more behind their eyes than mere friendship."

She looks at him and smiles.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, only because they are true! As for your friendship, I would be most honoured to have it, Vasha."

*Zythryd smiles back at Vasha and takes her hand in his.*

 

[Bront]

"You are a friend. You have been nicer than I could have ever hoped to me, and I thank you." she says, squeezing his hand tenderly. "Come, we should continue this in the privacy of my room."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You are very welcome Vasha, and I would be honoured to continue this with you in your room," Zythryd replies with a smile towards Vasha, following her back up to her room.
