Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Nothing, Lavinia,” Kallithyia said firmly as she tried to wipe at her teas with the back of her arm, “not at all is wrong…”

* Kallithyia’s voice wasn’t nearly as firm the second time, not that her firmness hid anything the first time. Her emotional turmoil and pain was as easy to see as was her nude form... *

“Why would anything be wrong?” Kallithyia asked tensely as she tried to hide her true self from Lavinia, she was a young warrior and Kallithyia ha no wishes to she her copy her own behavior.[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Well, you're naked up here on the edge of the ship in tears, Kalli...come on, you can be honest with me."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I prefer being naked,” Kallithyia admited weakly, it wasn’t much of an excuse considering her previous opinion of the dangers on the ship not to mention it didn’t explain her tears away…

“I’m just having trouble… adjusting,” like any good lie it had some truth to it, “I’m considering going back to the pits to fight again, but this time with my freedom intact.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Trouble adjusting? Oh Kalli, you should have come to me and I would be glad to help you...Kalli, please don't go back to the pits...they aren't right for you...look what it did..."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Look at what they did exactly?” Kallithyia asked sharply, “they gave my sisters challenges and obstacles to overcome. Which we strived to complete and succeed at and when we failed, we died. We died fiercely, with weapons in our hands, a warrior cannot too choose when it comes to death and some deaths are far worse than death in the pits.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"But, they made you fight for no reason but the amusement of others...they made you dance to their strings and kill your sisters...Why would you choose that over the ability to choose your battles for yourself, fighting for something you care about?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Cause I don’t know any other way anymore, cause I don’t fit in anywhere out of the pits anymore, and mostly cause what I would fight for would do me no good to fight for. It’s a hopeless situation, one that I truly cannot accept, and at the same time it is one I can only escape through death.”

She looked back the railing with a since of longing, “at least I’m choosing to die as a warrior and not as a pathetic whelp… Something I’ve honestly considered.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Kalli, nothing is ever truly hopeless unless you make it so. Surely life seemed hopeless when you and your sisters were enslaved, just like it did for me when I was sent to the pits to die, but you have overcome that..."

"I know you said that you live in shame now, but that is no reason to die--rather, it is a reason to live, to recover your honour through good acts...Just think, as long as you are alive, anything is possible, but if you die now, then you are allowing the thing you don't like to be true forever..."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Lavinia, this isn’t as simple as enslavement,” Kallithyia admited as she turned around a faced her friend for the first time, her cheeks were wet and her eyes were bloodshot, “and I live in even more shame now… Before, I didn’t believe I should be shamed but now… Well, I cannot think of another word other than shame to describe me…” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Kalli, you should be proud of yourself," Lavinia replies, her eyes softening in compassionate concern, as she puts her arms around Kalli tentatively in a hug, "You were an inspiration for me and a true warrior, and after all your perseverance, you are finally free."[/SBLOCK]
