Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

"I will make the system change so that this never happens again to anyone! What difference will it make to kill this one man? There are so many more of them out there...Besides, you have to realise that there is no reasonable way that I would ever be able to kill him anyway, and certainly not in any honourable way, and I'd much rather have him feel the suffering of enslavement like he did to me than simply end his existence with a sharp stab--what would that solve?"

(OOC: In a way, it should. She still has the anger in there, but she's a stuffer. The thing about stuffers is that eventually they reach their threshold )

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Well, you’ve certainly done a good job of convincing yourself of it, Lavinia,” Kallithyia retorted before standing and moving away from the younger woman, motions were running high and distance would do them good, besides she wasn’t sure she wanted to be close to someone so weak, “but personally I think your scared of him. That in many ways you’re still the young girl I saved so long ago. An Honorable death is only for someone with honor…”

“Do you think this man has honor?” Kallithyia asked with obviously revulsion to the idea before looking at the girl curiously and compassionately even though she remained angry with her, “tell me, Lavinia. Have you bedded many men since he molested you?” [/sblock]

"I am not afraid of him. I am just not so short-sighted any more. Latronius? They say he is a man of honour, who defended Praetorianus against many dangerous foes. But I think that anyone who could do such things to a child is a dishonourable dog. I would like nothing more than to see him stripped of his honour and his rank. If I kill him, he becomes a hero--a martyr whose brave contributions to the empire could never end until he fell to an assassin's blade...And he will no doubt have a statue in his honour! But if I disgrace him..."

"No. I cannot sleep with any man...I have nightmares of my rape as a child, and they can sometimes resurface..."

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I understand far to well, Lavinia,” Kallithyia says softly as she moves back over and squats before the brassy haired woman, their eyes mere inches apart, “If you dishonor him you might have your vengeance but I believe you will not have your honor back. Think about it, okay?”

* Kallithyia lays a comforting hand upon Lavinia’s shoulder as she looks upon her in both worry and compassion. * [/sblock]

*Lavinia looks into Kalli's eyes, her gaze softening until she is perfectly calm once more:*

"I know you are right. If I kill him, though, I will still not have my honour back either. It is gone and can never be regained until I earn it again, but it is not forgotten..."

*Lavinia smiles at Kalli's comforting touch upon her shoulder.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“That could be true, Lavinia,” Kallithyia admitted sadly with a nod before she smiled curiously at her, “did you learn my language only or did you study my culture also?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]
"I learned what I could of both from my teacher. Why do you ask, Kallithyia?"

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Because my culture says you will have your honor back after you kill him and it says the same thing about my own honor,” kalli says softly as she smiles sadly into Lavinia’s eyes, “though there is a difference, Lavinia, unlike my honor your honor can be restore but until that day comes know that your not alone in lacking honor. I’m here by your side to protect you just like in the arena, okay?” [/sblock]

“Because my culture says you will have your honor back after you kill him and it says the same thing about my own honor, though there is a difference, Lavinia, unlike my honor your honor can be restore but until that day comes know that your not alone in lacking honor."

"Yes, but in my culture, I will not regain my honour if I kill him, so we are together in that our honour cannot be restored through murder...The only way to regain lost honour in my culture is through acts of great honour...So perhaps I will do so one day."

"I’m here by your side to protect you just like in the arena, okay?”

"Thank you, Kallithyia...That means a lot to me."

*She puts her arms around the Palmaid in a hug.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia accepts the hug and she continues to holds Lavinia tightly till the topic had been put asleep… Finally, slowly, she lets the hug go though she studies Lavinia closely as she did so. *

“No, I believe we have lots to discuss and I well knowing where your going to sleep is about as important as they get,” she offers a wink asks her honor guard’s opinion, “Lavinia? Do you have any preference?” [/sblock]
