Heirs to the Burning Thrones

*Jamilah perks up immediately.*

--I think Shalah just wants Malika to be happy and have her heart's desire, no matter what it may take. You may think that Shalah had it easy with her freedom, but you may not realise just how lonely she was...what do I know? I'm just a silly psicrystal. And don't worry Samira, even if you're feeling sad, I still want to be your friend; and I think your ideas are really great! Do you want to talk it out, or would you rather I leave you alone?"--

Jibril A'Mussan (Windwalker, Human) Rogue/Psion/Fighter

Shalah said:
--Jibril, what do you think about Kadar's guards? I suspect that their lack of skills compared to our mighty Guardians shall make them nothing more than a token gesture. And if need be, it shouldn't be difficult to slip ahead of them...I think what we can do is have a few of us slip out ahead of the main group while Kadar's guards are preparing for the journey. That way, Samira can reach Malika and we can chat before the rest of the group catches up.--

'--One so humble as I must think that they are much more than simple guards, to entrust such an important task as this,--' Jibril thought to Shalah. '--Perhap the esteemed charms of one as beautiful as yourself as well and the exquisite combination you create with our fiery Samira will loosen the tongues of the guards to determine if there is an ulterior motive.--'

Jibril looked to the other heirs to see if they had anything to add or present (either with Kadar or back at our own tent).
 

*Suhayb simply looks at Jibril and shrugs very slightly and nods at Kadar. He will accept Kadar's guards, and watch them as well.*

"Fair enough Kadar," Cala says, obviously trying to hold her sharp tongue in check.
 

--Quite true. Sounds like a plan--

"Noble Kadar, then we will away to our tent to prepare while your guards do the same. If Bestet is with with us, we shall make good time and meet the lunar constraint of Marid's promise to his ladylove. Spirits willing, we shall meet in front of the ridge near the camp to begin our journey"

*Shalah indicates the direction of the ridge that Marid had pointed out with a slight cocking of her head.*

*Now we shall see if Samira and I cannot sneak out ahead of the rest, if she still desires to do so.*
 

Samira: Flamekissed Half-Nymph/Female (Gestalt: Unfettered/Rogue/Seductress)

Samira nods her head in understanding of Jamilah’s words but she goes quite as she bites at her lip, --No, no… Leave me to my thoughts. --

* Grasping some understanding of Jamilah’s importance Samira tucks her/it into the him of her bedleh. *
 

Abdul-Hadid Human/Genie-kin Scout

"Summon your chosen representitives, good Kadar, we shall re-equip ourselves and be ready in moments. Let us move forward to resolve this difficulty of love as soon as possible."
 

*Kadar signals one of his slaves, and two guards appear within moments. They bow politely, but do not tell you their names. They wait patiently in the background until all the heirs and their guardians are ready.*
 

*Shalah tentatively approaches Samira, bowing towards the half-nymph and then taking her foot gently in her hand and kissing it*

--Dear one. I don't know how to proceed, and I really need your advice in this matter. You have kindly indulged my desire, perhaps a foolish one, to make peace with Kadar, but now the situation proceeds to negotiations with Malika, the organisation of which should be solely your prerogative. What would you like to do? I had Kadar leave his guards waiting at the ridge in case you want to sneak out ahead of the group to meet with Malika alone, or with me if you will have me. I know that I cannot fully understand what you are going through, but if you are feeling any sort of hurt or emotional pain, please let me help you take that pain unto myself with my power. It is the least I can do for you, my love. If you still do not wish to talk to me and would rather be alone, I understand, but I don't want you to have to be lonely any more unless you want to...Bestet knows I've had these last years of being lonely, away from you, and the thought of my solitude still fills me with pain.--
 

Samira: Flamekissed Half-Nymph/Female (Gestalt: Unfettered/Rogue/Seductress)

* Watching Shalah kissing her toes filled Samira with a mixture of emotions, pride that she would beg for her forgiveness, happiness that her feeling did after all mean something, anger that a possible heir to a throne would humiliate herself in such a matter, but mostly it filled her with relief that their love was correct, that they were indeed soulmates. Squatting down Samira brushed reddish gold hair before she tilted her head up from her toes to her own tender lips in an effort to deliver a passionate kiss. *

-- Let us steal into the night like I just stole a kiss from you! I love you deeply and I’m sorry I got so fussy but if you feel like kissing body parts maybe you can kiss funnier ones tonight. --
 

--Ah, but you've never truly had a kiss until you've had one with a two-way Senselink, a power that I developed during our time away. It lets us both feel the other's love and pleasure and our own all at once! In any case, should we alert Jibril, or will it be...just the two of us?--
