Festival of Halina: Adventurers Gone Wild! (Orsal Judging)

[LogicsFate]

"Sure he'd feel bad.... but he'd get over it pretty quickly. How permanate is the loss of vhal?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Vhal is ever-changing, but why do you ask? Surely you do not think that this makes it right to ignore someone else's vhal. That is a sure way to lose much vhal oneself. Do you really think in this culture that it is okay to just do that? It is so impolite."

 

[LogicsFate]

"I was trying to get a feel for vhal, it's hard to imagine. We have nothing like it. We can not sense it, so we could not have guessed it existed. It must be great knowing what's in others hearts. I, we just have to guess."

"I would never mean to suggest hurting anouther is apprioprite, but if you deny someone your company, you don't have to avoid them. What if he asked you to go to the wedding, and you politly said no, would you then avoid the wedding? What if later Troi asked you and, for the purposes of this discussion only, you wanted to say yes, what would you do?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Oh no, vhal is not what you think, I think. That would be ziivash. Vhal is like...what do you westerners say...honour?"

"I would think it would be best if I did avoid an event if I declined an invitation to the same event, unless I already made plans to go with someone else and used that as my excuse...It is unusual to me, though. I am not used to men being able to invite a woman with romantic intent like that--it makes me have to rethink many things."

 

[LogicsFate]

"Ah that shows how's little I really know your culture. And honor is kind of a loose term, what might dishonor one, may not dishonor anouther"

"Ok, so you say no to carsis, and later he finds someone else he would like to ask to accompany him, and she accepted. Would you lose vhal? What if you also went with someone else so you both went to the same event, would that be acceptable?

 

[Rystil Arden]

"If I said no and then he found someone else and went, I would not lose vhal. But if he said no to me and then he went alone, I would."

 

[El Jefe]

"That seems best. Have ta see if I can pick it up again." Troi says.

Oirhandir waited for a moment, expecting Troi to lead on. When he didn't, it slowly dawned on the elf that the ranger had only a vague idea of what he wanted to do, not a specific plan. Oirhandir was surprised by that...it had always seemed to him that Troi was very self-sufficient and able to chart his own course.

"Ah, so how would you go about that?", Oirhandir asked after an embarassing pause. "I mean, do you just want to head to the middle of their camp and see if anyone has the scent? Or would it be better to wander around the fringes so not to get overwhelmed by many different scents at once?"

Bront:[sblock]Bear with me, here. This isn't Oirhandir's idea, he doesn't know bupkis about tracking, let alone tracking by scent, and he thinks of Troi as the "leader" of their little band of caravan guards as much as anyone. Oirhandir is going to stick around about as long as he thinks he has something to contribute to this "fishing expedition", and as soon as he thinks he's outlived his usefulness, he's off to Valdor's camp and Scarlet.

Of course, finding out that he has to actually direct the investigation might engage him a bit more than he'd expected. [/sblock]

 

[LogicsFate]

"Fair enough, I think... So, if you had been planning to go alone from the start, and someone you didn't like asked you to accompony them, you'd have to stay back?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"If I did not like them, then I would not care about their loss of vhal. If anything, they would lose vhal anyway for propositioning someone who actively dislikes them. But I have no reason to dislike Carsis. He is highly unusual, but not a bad person."

"Well, mingling might do us better, if we happen across him, but there's too many people to try to track individualy." He sniffs the air. "And the scent of perfume is heavy in the air."

OOC: No problem, just do what you can, if you have to, OOC me what you want him to do.
