Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Why thank you. Kyprian exports are somewhat hard to find, as they are usually in high demand, and my people's craftmanship always makes me proud. You should be able to get a simple but nice set of lotions from a shop in Meridian...I can right you some directions."

"Calpurnia, eh? She really needs to loosen up, don't you think? It would do her good."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Thank you, directions would be good...I've never really spent a lot of time in Meridian.”

“Well that’s why I borrowed your oils today while you were sleeping, she agreed to a massage...though I don’t think she’s ready yet for more than something friendly and relaxing, as she was a little worried I might go places I wasn’t invited...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes, she's very uptight...but I guess maybe anyone would be, somewhat, with her husband assassinated and herself barely escaping a similar fate...Still, I'm glad that you managed to coax her a little bit out of her shell. Perhaps it is the common bond you share as Warmages, but it is good to see her talking to someone instead of being reclusive, all alone with her Felicia."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well less so now I think, and hopefully she will return for another session where she can relax completely. I suppose it could be the bond of shared interests, but whatever it is though I intend to spend time talking with her while I’m aboard...if nothing else it may get her to open up enough to be able to find others to spend time with. I just hope I don't do more harm than good and leave her feeling even more lonely when I go. Hmm, do you have many friends aboard Aspasia or do people just come to you with their problems?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Well, I like to consider almost everyone on board my friend, but it is admittedly true that they usually only come to me when they have troubles or need counseling or comforting. Still, I am at least on good terms with all of them, and they'll talk to me nicely when I approach them, you know?"[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Yes, I understand that all too well, it sounds very similar to what I experience in my position as Optio. Though everyone is friendly enough, it tends to leave you feeling a bit isolated and you really don’t have anyone to go to for your own problems...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes, I suppose that is true, but fortunately, I don't really have any big problems to worry about like so many other people...I praise Vynerys and also Tykhia for my good fortune every day, and I also pray that the Goddess will be able to bring love to heal the hearts of all those less fortunate."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well you need not worry about it while I’m here at least, I’m happy to listen to any problems you do have Aspasia, just as you’ve listened to mine. So have you seen Kallithyia since I last saw you?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"No, I haven't seen her since then, although I have heard talk from the crew about her cavorting across the deck naked. She might still be up there now."

(OOC: Speaking of problems, let's talk about Kallithyia--clever )[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“That seems strange considering the requests she made to keep men away from her...I hope it doesn’t cause any problems. Hmm, she definitely doesn’t seem to be adapting to her freedom all that well, though she was okay when I saw her with Autolycus. I wonder what’s troubling her...” Tiberius replies his voice dropping off, but still loud enough for Aspasia to hear, as he says the last short sentence.

OOC: Clever...not me. [/SBLOCK]
