Alyra:
You feel a wide range of emotions in the maidens. Relief, pity, controlled anger in the elderly matron. There is even couriosity from some (including the castellan), others more feel condescending. The feeling seem to be centered around a fearful young maiden - the one addressing you first. She now come to the fore and falls to your feet. "Oh, Mylady, you must must gundo my condition. Give me back my innocence. My life. I cannot bear this shame." Here you see the matron nod. To your inevitable question she answers:" I lay with a young knight, Parcival. Now I am with child and Parcival won't marry me. Says he doesn't love me ... Please, mistress. I heard you helped another girl in this way, too. It's the only way. Please." She is close to tears, but you know she does not want to cry under the eyes of the other maidens(?).
David:
Parmendines does not know when the Man will return. He thinks he comes from outside the chancel. And yes, the man leads the union, but of ultirior motives your prisoner knows nothing. But then, he did not not ask.
He also does not know where exactly the stones are from. All that he has heard was the desert barbarians harvest them somehow. His friend has told him the rumor that they keep a sage hidden that knows everything about the stones: " And he is guarded by five of their fiercest warriors that supposedly have a few of the universal stones: canceling all supernatural powers. Even a noble would have to fight as the flesh from which he is created. Thomas said to me,"he looks extremly defensive,"that no noble would ever dare such a fair fight."
<couriously, the chancel is defintly not in pain anywhere. Your logic that these disrupting stones might cause such pain is an obvious idea, but still there must be a flaw somewhere.>
