Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Good morning Tiberius...Unfortunately, people kept waking me up, but hey, I've got a job to do, right? I still managed to get my beauty sleep, though," Aspasia replies with a smile as Tiberius sits down next to her with a sandwich and some light wine.[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Yes, it’s something you get used to after a while...I know I don’t tend to get much continuous sleep on campaign as everyone comes to me with their problems. Then I have to go and incur the wrath of the Centurion when I wake them in the middle of the night,” Tiberius replies with a chuckle. Taking a good look at Aspasia, he smiles as he continues, “You do appear to have had your beauty sleep, I don’t know how you do it, you certainly look a lot better than I do under similar sleepless conditions. Hmm, then I suppose Vynerys can’t have you looking all haggard and worried if you’re to serve her well...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"That's true. I do have the goddess's blessings to thank for some of it. I also probably spent a bit too much time primping in front of the mirror to fix myself up, but I'm glad you noticed!"[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Too much time, never Aspasia, you deserve to look your best for all the good things you do for others, and I doubt you get that much help from Vynerys either.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Well thanks, Tiberius. That's very sweet. But Vynerys gifted me with my features, and she guides my hand and aids me in all that I do."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“I suppose that’s true for you, Vynerys is the centre of your life after all...I just don’t tend to look at things that way having a more secular viewpoint. I’m happy enough to believe the gods are there, and leave it at that most of the time...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"And that's a perfectly fine way to be, if that's what you prefer...As for myself, I cannot imagine what life without Vynerys would be. She fills my every action with warmth and love, and helps to brighten an otherwise bad day."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“My devotion to the art magic sounds similar, but of a lesser intensity...I know I couldn’t imagine my life without the ability to manipulate magical forces anymore. It would be nice to have the ever-present feeling of warmth and love you experience from Vynerys though. Hmm, well I suppose it’s not quite ever-present as you did get a little upset when you couldn’t help someone,” Tiberius teases, grinning as he continues and changes the subject, “Oh I hope you didn’t mind me borrowing some of your supplies earlier...”

OOC: Is there a Praetorian god of magic?

OOC: That didn’t turn out exactly as I planned...my ISP is having some dataflow problems at the moment , so if I don't post you'll know why. Now that's ironic, can't post and I have days of perfect dataflow...can post and I get dataflow death. [/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Vynerys always sends me her love, but sometimes I am still sad when I cannot live up to the trust she has put in me..."

(OOC: Not exactly. Myneria, the chief goddess, presides over the tactical use of magic in combat, among many other things, and there is a minor goddess named Hektya who presides over witchcraft and the dark arts.)

(OOC: Awww...that's irony for ya )[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Well no-one can succeed all the time Aspasia, and as strange as it seems not everyone is receptive to the message Vynerys is trying to spread, but of course it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep trying. I’m sure that’s all Vynerys wants of you in the end, that you continue trying to spread love and happiness wherever you go. So don’t get sad, as I'm sure Vynerys wouldn't want that, just reaffirm your commitment and try again when the opportunity presents itself...”[/SBLOCK]
