Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]* Kallithyia graciously accepted the needed hug and returned it with one of her own. As Kallithyia clung to the smaller woman she could only hope that the tentative nature o the hug would disappear. *

“Lavinia, I’m glad, very glad even, that I could be a source of inspiration for you but this situation is different. There is no clear cut opponent to battle this time… I have feelings for someone, deep feelings, feelings that would allow every evil deed and auction that happened to me to be forgotten in a second… It would honestly be like one of those silly Seelyne princess tales that end in happily ever after but there’s no happiness this time Lavinia. My feelings are not returned, they were only humored for a bit before the person in question said I was unhealthy for having them…”

Kallithyia whimpered softly, “and now I have nothing when I was so close to having everything…” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"You are in love with a Praetor then?...Well, I know I'm no expert, but in my mind, in some ways whoever it is was very wrong in saying that to you because love is a beautiful thing and isn't really a choice, but in another way, she was right...At least to the point where your love became so overwhelming that it caused you to contemplate suicide as the only alternative, it is most definitely unhealthy, in that suicide is unhealthy and would be inevitable for such an infatuation...For Nymphs are near-well immortal, but we Praetors expire after our appointed time, so after a very short time for a Nymph, you would have to consider what to do when your paramour died, and if suicide were the only option you could entertain, then even if she loved you with an equal force to your own feelings, you would only be delaying this...I think you should get some help with coping--have you seen Aspasia about this?"[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]Kallithyia wasn’t sure how to argue with Lavinia’s logic, or if it was even wise to, but in the end it didn’t matter Catullus didn’t love her and never would and to argue would just be a waste of time, “yes, Lavinia, I’ve talked to Aspasia but not about all my feelings…” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Kalli, please, you need to talk to Aspasia about your feelings. Aspasia may be able to help you understand and put your feelings in perspective, and that may help you feel better."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“Fine, Lavinia, I will talk to Aspasia,” Kallithyia gave in with only the hint of a smile, “I see nothing to lose by doing so… Would you prefer to be involved in this discussion, Lavinia?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"I'd be happy to come with you if you think I would help--just let me know."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“It might,” Kallithyia admited but fretted some, “but I’m not sure I’ll still be someone you can look up to me when its all said in done…” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Kalli, I'll always look up to you for what you taught me in the arena, but if you would prefer that I stay out, then I will respect your wishes, Kalli."[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“I need all of the friends I can get, Lavinia, so it would be very foolish of me to ignore you as, in all honesty, you probably are my closest friend. I simply do not wish to loose you or to have you look upon me with shame.” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Kalli, please, you needn't even think it. Of course you won't lose me or make me shameful of you...love is a powerful and uncontrollable thing, and it isn't your fault...it is such a strong force, that there is no shame in being unable to conquer it...or so I have been told. You are strong to be able to even try to find a way for yourself, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise or try to disparage that accomplishment. There is only one way that you could make me feel shameful of you, and do you know what that one way is?"[/SBLOCK]
