Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

[Rystil Arden]

"So you don't think Princess Lhazra of Arris is a good contact?"

"Lhyzra, the Dragonemperor's daughter? She isn't one of his contacts. From what I heard, she almost wound up imprisoning him until she found out who he was, and then she sent him away regretfully in disgust when she realised he had Diplomatic Immunity."

"Ah. A normal Rowaini man would be lucky to see ninety. Sometimes they can pass a century if they are very lucky indeed. Sometimes, for some people...normal is a dream they will never know. My poor sister, for instance. And even me."

“Hmm, by the sound of it, I guess you’ve received one of these blessings also? They seem to be a very heavy burden indeed, if they reduce your lifespan as well...”

"Quite the contrary. I have heard they increase it dramatically. But that is its own burden--to watch all those you know and love among normal Rowaini slowly waste away...mother..."

"Yes, but I have some ins with her, and he obviously knows me," Vasha says.

“Well, that’s defintitely better than the alternative, but as you say it has it’s downside as well. I take it then, that your mother is not gifted as her children and husband seem to be...”

"But the point is that he only bungled any encounters with those in power and spent his time doing things that don't matter for his job, his duty to the family. During that time, he could have won the trust of a Larakese daimyo, explored magical items with a Sidhe Enchantress, struck up a friendship with a Praetorian senator, traded tales of court life with a Valsian Dragonlord, or a thousand other things that would be useful for him to do. But he did not."

"If you mean the angels' blessing, Kastor and Lynestra do not have it either, or father. Helena and I are children of the angels, as they say, in a very obvious way, at least when, for instance, Helena doesn't wear her veil."

"Actualy, at the time, Lahzra would have likely simply killed him. He's lucky he had Diplomatic Immunity. But it's because of him that I know her, and I think I may be able to at least get the two of them to talk."

"Somehow, it does not seem probable to me. That woman is a cold-hearted killer, whereas I would bet the only thing you've killed recently is my rare and valuable imported Larakese carpet. Besides, you're a Nymph and she destroys nature."

(OOC: It may be a bit late for this, well probably not quite yet, but Lhyzra may very well actually kill you if you go around telling heads of state that she's really a nice person to prove you wrong )

"Our relationship is... complicated. But I might be able to help. Besides, what he did was earn the respect of the people, so when he comes back later, looking for trade, he has more credibility and pull."

OOC: I never said she was nice either
