Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

[Rystil Arden]

"Hopefully you'll have enough alone time together. They do have an awful lot of parties and receptions planned, don't they? Well, they should be fun, I guess. After this while they have an artist do a portrait of me in the wedding dress, there's also a reception where you meet the families, and after that you should have several hours' leeway."

"That's very sweet of you, sir--oh wait, I didn't mean to offend if you aren't a male Ascended," Lynestra apologies, "It sounds like quite an adventure. Oh, and he's my husband tomorrow. Tonight he's still my fiance and husband-to-be. Somehow, that's even more romantic."

"Yes, I was a male before ascension and no I don't take any offence at the question." replies Mythweaver.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry. I've met Byblans before, but even now I just don't know how to react. On first reaction, I kind of assume they're male, I guess--what girl would want to give up her looks and identity as a female? I guess that's kind of shallow, though, so I try to look past my instinct."

"Either sex from many different races seek the knowledge that can be gained through ascension. It is that thirst for the unknown that drives many people, myself included, to become Byblan." replies Mythweaver.

"I guess so...it just seems like a lot to give up...forever...although I guess the perspective of advanced knowledge is also a lot to gain. That's why the Dolathi have it best, I think. They may not be able to equal a Byblan's well-rounded force of mind, but they can experience all different points of view without also giving anything else up permanently."

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

"Hopefully you'll have enough alone time together. They do have an awful lot of parties and receptions planned, don't they? Well, they should be fun, I guess. After this while they have an artist do a portrait of me in the wedding dress, there's also a reception where you meet the families, and after that you should have several hours' leeway."

“There do seem to be quite a few events to attend, yes, but any time I can spend with Claudia, in private or not, will be time I look forward to,” Tiberius says, looking towards his wife and smiling.

"And I'm just glad to be able to spend any time at all with Tiberius. Our days together at the Academy seem like such a distant memory now of wonderful times spent together. I think tonight will be the perfect chance for a refresher course," Claudia laughs.

"Perhaps, though the Dolathi gain such abilities from birth. For those of us who crave the knowledge offered, Byblan is a means to that end." replies Mythweaver.

"Well, I guess that's true. Still, it's not for me, though I suppose I probably wouldn't even pass the test to qualify to become a Byblan either," Lynestra laughs at herself.

"Honestly, I was never quite as comely as you, dear Lynestra. It would be a shame for you to take on this grey palour unless you truely sought the secrets that come with it." he replies trying to end in flatery.
