Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"Life or death is all relative in the pits, where nothing is certain--he tried to kill me in a large fight to the death, but one where two were allowed to emerge alive at the end, so he could have fought by my side...please never speak to me on this matter again."[/SBLOCK]

 

[unleashed]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK=Rystil]“Certainly and I’m sorry to have brought it up at all, but you shouldn’t tell people about it if you don’t want them to care...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]"You can care all you like, and it is a kind gesture, I suppose, as long as you don't go around rubbing salt in the wounds."

(OOC: Wait for Kalli time)[/SBLOCK]

 

[unleashed]

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK=Rystil]“No, no I wouldn’t do that Lavinia and I'll even ask Aspasia to leave it alone if you'd like, though I don't know how much good it will do. Hmm, well it looks as if I’m finished, so I’ll say goodbye and go speak to Creusa about that meal.”

*Tiberius waits for a reply, before he returns his dishes and goes to speak to Creusa.*[/SBLOCK]

RA: [sblock]“Utmost respect?” Kallithyia retorted in surprise not anger. Reaching out Kallithyia gently tilted the small woman’s chin upwards till their eyes meet, “do I really look like someone who feels they are being treated with utmost respect?”

* Kallithyia dropped her mask and allowed Creusa to see her misery that could only come from infinite sadness and loneliness. The misery was still there when Kallithyia’s hand left Creusa’s chin. *

“You don’t even respect me enough to look me in the eyes when you address me…” [/sblock]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"It would be disrespectful for me to meet your gaze, my lady...It is improper for one of my standing to do so. Do you need something from me, my lady?"[/SBLOCK]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“No, Creusa, I believe I will just have to tell Tiberius and Catullus that you will not show me the respect that I deserve,” Kallithyia spoke in soft disappointment, “even when I told you how you should respect me.”

* Kallithyia didn’t much like misleading Creusa, it seemed wrong, but at the same time she realized that the timid girl needed to look someone in the eyes… Besides, she rationalized, it probably wouldn’t work anyways. Creusa was a lost cause. * [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]*Creusa simply stares for a moment, then her lip twitches, and then she starts to tremble a bit, and her gaze falls all the way to the floor, as she says in a dejected, rather flat tone:*

"Yes milady. As you wish milady. Would you like me to discipline myself for failing to show proper respect, milady?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Kallithyia: Palmaid/Female (Amazon)

RA: [sblock]“No, I will discipline you,” Kallithyia replied firmly, if Creusa wanted to be submissive Kallithyia was willing to be dominate for her but truthfully Kallithyia was kicking herself, she should have just headed Lavinia’s advice and avoided Creusa but she had been foolish and now she felt obligated to get them both through without either losing face, “I do have that right, correct, Creusa?” [/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Kalli]"Yes, of course milady. I just didn't want you to have to go to the inconvenience of disciplining me when I could do it for you, unless you wanted to."[/SBLOCK]
