Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes, she's very different indeed. Unlike Kallithyia, she is very nice and understanding, and not at all high-strung or high-maintenance. One might think that she is naive, but on closer examination, it is not so. She has seen great sorrows and dangers and stayed calm in the face of them. Perhaps it is their different cultures that caused it, but from what I read of Conasan culture, Kallithyia is atypical even for that."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]Pondering the differences as he studies the new language, Tiberius replies a few minutes later, “Perhaps it is because Kallithyia is broken in so many different ways from her trials. Did your friend seek out the events that brought her sorrow and danger?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Yes, she did. I met her when she was seeking closure on her father's death. But she did it discreetly and with caution and poise."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Hmm, very different circumstances indeed...Kallithyia was taken from the life she knew without a choice in the matter, while your friend sought out her hardship. I imagine Kallithyia would be a very different person had she not suffered in the ways she has...well I hope that’s the cause of her being how she is now at least...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"I'm sure it is...That is why I can't help but feel sorry for her."[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Well I hope I get to meet your other Amaranthian friend some day, it’d be nice to meet a well adjusted nymph. I certainly hope her name is shorter than ‘your other Amaranthian friend’ though, as it’s quite a mouthful to say every time I refer to her,” Tiberius chuckles.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Maybe you will meet her someday soon...her name is Vasha."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well that’s nice and short, and not a tongue-twister like Kallithyia either!” Tiberius says grinning, “Hmm, I suppose we should get back to the lesson and I'd better try to keep my focus on it this time or I could end up mangling the language altogether.”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Alright then. On to common Vaelysh phrases."[/SBLOCK]

Rystil
[SBLOCK]*Tiberius sits quietly and listens as Catullus voices the phrases, before trying to repeat them...pulling himself up when he hears himself make a mistake and repeating the phrase again until he get’s it as close to correct as he can at the moment.*[/SBLOCK]
