Diplomatic Immunity: Wedding Bells a'Ringing

[Rystil Arden]

“Well, I was only working with my lifespan, but if it was one thousand or even longer...I think I’d take that too,” Tiberius remarks after some thought. “I know that may sound like an arrogant choice, as I know I don’t have that amount of time, but honestly though, until you spend the time with the love of your life, you won’t know whether it is worth the grief or not, but for the chance of love alone I think it’s worth the risk.”

"But admittedly, you've purchased ten years of happiness at the price of a possible 990 of misery. In it's essence, it is the same choice that those who use the narcotics from the lotus flower choose, I think--evanescent pleasure that destroys them later on, no?"

"Sometimes, I wonder about her...she hardly ever has seemed a mother--as far as I've seen, she ignores her children for the most part," Plydek comments, "But that was a weird way to restart our conversation, I'm sorry. How have you been doing, Vasha? I noticed some trouble with water broke out."

"Oh, I'm doing ok. I realized I sorta left to talk to Helena and didn't realy finish up talking to you. I didn't mean to be rude, but I don't see many people talking to Helena still, so perhaps it was for the best."

"Trust me, I most certainly agree. I am very happy that you talked to my sister, and I feel not the least bit slighted by that choice, Vasha," Plydek smiles.

"Your sister is a beautiful person on the inside, but it's a shame that few can look past the outside."

"Your Mother tells me you're rather special as well."

"Your Mother tells me you're rather special as well."

"Well, I have been blessed by the angels the same as my sister, though I haven't been made to suffer as she has--though I would gladly take her suffering unto myself so that she could smile again and live a full and happy life..."

"But admittedly, you've purchased ten years of happiness at the price of a possible 990 of misery. In it's essence, it is the same choice that those who use the narcotics from the lotus flower choose, I think--evanescent pleasure that destroys them later on, no?"

“I can’t say for sure, but then how much misery are you going to be in by refusing the choice to love. Are you going to regret that you didn’t take the chance, years after the decision is no longer yours to make, perhaps even grow to hate yourself after watching others fall in love as the centuries pass, and knowing your one chance for true happiness is gone...”

"That is, of course, certainly a possibility. This is the dilemma and the torture of longevity, I'm afraid, and that is why I said it was a curse."

"Well, I have been blessed by the angels the same as my sister, though I haven't been made to suffer as she has--though I would gladly take her suffering unto myself so that she could smile again and live a full and happy life..."

"That's very noble of you," Vasha says. "Are you always so noble?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That's very noble of you," Vasha says. "Are you always so noble?"

"I have been given special blessings by the angels, and though some are in a way a curse, I still have a responsibility to use my blessings to help those in need. And my sister means even more than that. If it would save her, I would gladly sacrifice my life."

"What curse is this you speak of?"

"And perhaps I have need for your gift and noble spirit. If you'd be so kind as to hear me out, I have a long tale to tell, for I have a burdon to bear, but by no means must I bear it alone."
