Message: <blockquote data-quote="perivas" data-source="post: 1894969" data-attributes="member: 2746">The others' more rational words do seem to have some effect on Caira, although she does manage one last remark clearly targeted at Su'ryuu before letting the matter drop.  "Even the greatest fool, or perhaps specifically the greatest fool, can have luck to protect his scaly hide."  She then stays silent for quite a while, obviously still pouting a bit......until Rahveon completes his verbal assessment of the situation.  Caira then animatedly speaks up.  "Don't forget that the alliance between the Three would be tenuous at best.  Witness how even here we bicker and Their egos must be that much bigger.  Besides, the God of Life would have resented how this Act so greatly diminished His domain and yet increased that of the God of Death.  As for the God of Power, it must have also irked Him that a source of infinite power and the greed upon which He feeds has been destroyed, although He must be comforted that the number of those who would challenge Him has been significantly diminished for all time.  Let us make our way to the Court of Stars."At the Court of Stars, Caira is happy to let the proboscidean speak, although she does roll her eyes at the suggestion for a more private audience.  Great!  He accuses her of being unable to maintain a private court.  Suggestions such as those are given most often when one attempts to assassinate the queen...I hope that she doesn't think that's what we intend.  Before the queen could respond, Caira steps forward and bows deeply to the Queen and her Consort and then slightly to Rahveon.  She then recounts the tale of the destroyed world of the Endless Falls, prefaced by these words, I am Caira, a simple dryad, and not accustomed to the telling of fanciful tales.  I know that our words are the truth and are fitting for all of the Queen's Court to hear, so I will relate them in simple words without embellishments or sophistries."  During the tale, she makes ambiguous the name of Devom and his hollyphant disciple and leaves out remarks regarding other companions seeking aid elsewhere.  She ends her delivery with these words.  If my skill in tale-telling is lacking, it is because I have only spoken the truth and have not embellished the events as bards may.  I hope the Queen will forgive me for this indulgence."  She bows deeply at the end.</blockquote>
