Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

[Rystil Arden]

Vasha's face lights up with inspiration, and she quickly gives Helena a big hug. "Yes, yes it is something like that, and with luck, I can bear that burdon again."

*As Vasha grows nearer, Helena's presence grows stronger, and her scent is more powerful, evoking a feel of peace and contentment. Helena gives a pained, saddened expression as she backs away and puts her hands out in front of her.*

"No, wait! I'm so sorry, but you can't hug me, Vasha. No one can--touching me like that will drive us both out of control...that's why I've had to avoid human contact since I became a woman...I'm so sorry, I know you didn't mean any harm," tears begin to fall from those perfect eyes, and that makes Vasha start to feel sad as well, "I know you'll be a great hero for Arris, Vasha."

OOC: You missed an earlier hug then No biggie.

Vasha pouts, "That's so sad. You've never had contact with another? Felt a gentile hug or a loving caress of someone who cares for you?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: D'oh, missed it in 362--must have been thrown off by the smile)

"Not since I was a little girl. When I was young, my parents showered me with hugs and affection--they couldn't help it, I was so cute my power makes me irresistible at a touch. Sometimes I still feel sad for my beloved sister because she would be ignored back then, but once we got older, my power no longer made me cute, but attractive, something that would be disgusting if it played out to its full extent with my parents, so our roles reversed, and now I haven't been touched by another in years..." Helena explains, then tries to smile slightly, "Of course, there's some upsides--I have learned to do many things myself, like dressing and bathing, that most princesses have done by servants, and I like to hope I'm better off for it."

"Well, perhaps I can help a bit," Vasha says. "I developed a spell I've been using for massages, but it allows mystical hands to be used in other ways. Perhaps later I can give you a mystical massage, so you can know some of the caring touch that you've missed, and teach you the spell so you may teach others. Even a mystical hug is better than no hug at all."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That sounds wonderful Vasha," Helena perks up dramatically, "Of course, I can't use magic, so I won't be able to learn it, but still, that is such a kind offer...I'd hug you, but, you know," Helena beams a radiant smile that fills Vasha with joy.

 

[Bront]

Vasha giggles and nods. "Well, perhaps if you know someone who can, they can make some kind of divice to allow you, or others, to use it. I can stop by tonight after the reception if you wish. It may take some of the stress of the wedding away as well."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Thank you Vasha. That sounds wonderful. I can see why my sister and her fiance are so glad to have you as their 'Sister'."

 

[Bront]

"Great, just let me know where to go, and make sure the guards know I'm invited, K?"

Vasha gets all the details.

Vasha then gets an idea and giggles, and then says to Helena, with a quick wink, "I wonder what Kastor would think if he knew I had a 'date' with you."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hmm...he'd probably say 'That's hot,' " Helena suggests, "And then 'Wait a minute--that's my little sister. Mystic hand off' "

 

[Bront]

Vasha chuckles, "Well, no need to tell him then is there? See you tonight Helena."

Vasha looks around to see who else isn't talking to anyone.
