Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[unleashed]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

“Yes I have made a beg...beginning, I th...thought we should share a language or two...”

*Tiberius corrects himself as he speaks, obviously trying to works out some words to his satisfaction, but manages to get out an entire sentence.*

OOC: Passable basics...limited vocabulary.

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

* Kallithyia positively beams at Tiberius as she nods her head encouragingly at his effort. *

“Good, good!” she moves quickly and kisses him chaste kiss on the side of his cheek and then backs away to a more comfortable distance, “that’s a Seelie thank you. Language is good. I’ve had no luck finding a teacher.”

* She frowns at her own admittance but it doesn’t last for long as her smiles quickly reforms. *

*A confused look passes over his face as Kallithyia kisses him on the cheek, but Tiberius quickly recovers himself.*

“Slower please?” Tiberius asks speaking far more slowly than Kallithyia, as he watches her lips as she speaks and listens closely, “I only began...today. A teacher...what language?”

Kallithyia nodded her head and blushed, yes she was being foolish by speaking to quickly, but she slowed her words down considerably, “I looked for a teacher of your language but found none.”

*Another look of confusion passes over Tiberius’ face.*

“Lavinia...speaks the...common...language of our people...if not the...the...leader’s language.”

*He speaks Lavinia’s name in Praetorian, but all else in Seelie, though he doesn’t look completely pleased with what he’s said...likely because he doesn’t have the words to express himself as he would like.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

Kallithyia emphatically shakes her head, her stubborn streak a mile wide, “I have no desire to learn the… ‘lesser’ of your two languages.”

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

Why would she not wish to be able to speak to all of the crew, to as many people as possible...

*Tiberius stands thoughtfully for a few moments before replying.*

“Catullus...speaks the..leader’s language...but it is not..used by...as many...of our people...”

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

The smile faded as Kallithyia became very apprehensive with the mentioning of Catullus’ name and she firmly shook her head against the idea and tried the impossible task of explaining why in simple terms, “No. That’s no good. I don’t wish to see him…”

Kallithyia studied Tiberius carefully to see if he understands her words and to judge his reaction to them…

“Why not...did he do you...harm? Was he the...re..reason...for your...run...out..outside?”

*Tiberius looks worried, both at Kallithyia’s reaction and at his own trouble at expressing his questions.*

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

* Kallithyia grew quite and withdrawn, her arms subconsciously hugged her body protectively, but finally she shook her head in conformation. *

“Yes, but it was my fault… I just wish not to see him now if possible and don’t want to talk about it… Please?”

* Kallithyia looked at him pleadingly as she truly hoped he wouldn’t make her talk about it… *
