For the Greater Good

"Thank you, handsome," Brightfire says, smiling. She turns to Lyssia and places a hand on her arm, gesturing to Darren and back. "This is Lyssia. What might your name be?"

*Lyssia, while waiting for Darren, Brightfires leans close and whispers quickly in your ear.*

"He's a pretty one, I just wanted to say hello before we go."

Lyssia smiles at Brightfires whisper, her gold cat's eyes taking in Darren's features and body as she whispers back. "Aye he is.. and seems quite smitten with you m'lady." chuckles lightly as she pats the bards hand on her. "Lyssia Darkwing m'lord." she tells him. "I do.. small things for the Temple of Sune from time to time." The slender elf maid's words belie her appearence and poise as she walks with the bearing of someone used to the sword weight on her hip.
 

Darren bows extravagantly to Lyssia. "Darren, my Lady, at your service, though I am no lord." His gaze quickly takes in Lyssia's bearing and he adds "And I also do small things, but for Lliira." Darren turns an inquisitive eye back to Brightfire.
 

"Shall we go then?" Brightfire says, taking both Darren and Lyssia's hands. "Followers of both my favorite goddesses, this should be a fun evening."

*Brightfire will take you both on a whirlwind tour of a few other dancing and revelry halls, singing briefly at each one and speaking to both of you about places she's been and your own hopes and aspirations for the future. Very late in the evening, she will return to the Dancing Phoenix and bid you both a fond farewell.*

[OOC: You guys can converse amongst yourself, or ask any questions of Brightfire that you wish, but barring those, you can find a bed in one of your temples or in the Dancing Phoenix for a fee of one gold.]
 

Lyssia finally relents to the cheerful bards plans and settles down to the task of entertaining her and their new found friend, finally (assuming he takes well to her assertion of who she is) revealing her true form.

After bidding them both a good night, complete with kisses and hugs she retreats to a late night to bed and mid-morning (at the earliest) waking.

(and Darren.. if you want to RP the 'revelation' of her true form.. I'm game)
 

[Retroactive role-playing, go!]

*Brightfire is rather delighted by Lyssia's true form, and gives her hug and a kiss, telling her she's brave. You rather get the impression that she's been friends with such a wide variety of people that she's become very accepting of all forms of beauty.*
 

"Thank you." *Nessa nods to the acolyte.* "Tell his Lordship that I will attend as soon as is convenient for him."

What does Lord Tellaqu want with me? *She ponders as she makes her way to her room.* In all likelihood it is to do with the undead debate. Or perhaps he has another task for me. I pray for the latter.

(Darren does indeed take well to Lyssia's assertion.)

As Lyssia's true form is revealed, Darren's eyes change to blood red, with vertical pupils. His face doesn't really change, but it seem more angular, longer, and pointier. "Ah! I knew there was a reason I was so drawn to you!" He begins to laugh and his eyes return to their normal human appearance.
 

Lyssia smiles as she tucks her wings under her cloak and smiles, more natural in her real form. "I.. wasn't a good person till after my redemption at the hands of the Sainted Beauty.. he.. showed me a new path in life.. one I find quite rewarding.. " tells some stories as they walk of her 'mischeif' in the affairs of true love and how she helped several couples find their way in life. "Still.. I wonder after interferring in court affairs why I was called her by his lordship." shrugs. "Ah well that is what a late morning if for I quess." chuckles and let's Brightfire lead them away. (Still in form, but with her tail and wings tucked under her cloak)
 

*Darren and Lyssia enjoy a lovely night with Brightfire, who will bid them a good night in what
most would call the early morning.*

*Secondday dawns with a bit of mist rising from the river, with cooler temperatures as well.
The cries from the bread and pastery merchants echo in the markets, and farmers bring in their
fresh fruits and vegetables from the fields as well.*

*Sebastian, the patrons of the Imperial Wyvern usually don't keep very early hours, but if
you're up before noon you can get bread, porriage, and berries. Those waking later whether
in the Dancing Phoenix or one of the temples will have to make due with luncheon fixings.*

*Norin, later in the morning, you will receive a messenger at your cell telling you that Brel
wishes to speak with you. *

*Nessa, if you wish to speak to the Spell Lord in the morning, Tellaqu will see you at any
time.*
