Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2185262" data-attributes="member: 29014">--Excellent.  It worked.--"Most-honoured Kadar, our gracious host," Shalah susurrates sweetly, smiling at him as she turns, shifting her silks to quickly expose and then cover naked flesh in ripples across her body, "We have heard from the flowers the mystery of your son Marid, who seems to have no love at all for women, and thus he disobeys you in your desire to see him married.  But yet, we have solved that mystery and have come to bring you the solution."Hoping to tantalise Kadar with the swaying curves of her intimations just as she would do with her body in a dance, Shalah left Kadar hanging on that assertation, like the vizier's daughter who interjected her stories, hoping to survive the night with a mad sultan.  "You no doubt have heard tales of the beauty of the fabled Samira.  Indeed, there is no flower in Keldev who can match.  Perhaps what you do not know is that Samira's extraordinary beauty is the result of her heritage, and of the love between her mother, a fire nymph, and a human man of Keldev, a rare and beautiful bond that can only happen for a chosen few among mortals, for truly the fire nymphs are as queens among queens in their domains, independent even of the ancient rule of the gen, and able to take their pick of lovers from among the immortals.  Surely then, an opportunity for a love as rare as that of Samira's parents, the love between a human and a desert goddess, is a wonderful thing to be cherished, cherished as much as Samira herself, a beauty among beauties more valuable than a hundred rubies.""Surely you agree, for any less would make me cry in sorrow and think that perhaps you are not the great and wise man for which I immediately took you upon seeing you.""But you must think me too sentimental, to wander wistfully away into talk of immaterial dreams and things that cannot be.  But joyfully for your family, your son Marid has brought your family a miracle beyond measure, but which he has found himself unable to tell you because of his insecurity stemming from your disapproval towards him.""Indeed, Marid has won the heart of a fire nymph, a love that if allowed to come to fruition would bring about great joy and prosperity for the house of Kadar, as well as regal descendants as beautiful as Samira, who shall live on as testament to the prosperity to your family when all of your rival merchants and their children, and their children's children have since turned to dust and visited Oram's halls.  How, then, can a mere trading agreement compare to the untold fame, riches, and social standing that awaits a man with such granddaughters--and such a wife for his son?"  *Shalah readies all the stops for her conclusion.*  "For your son's happiness, for the warmth that you will bring to my poor heart," at the word heart, Shalah puts her hand over her heart and presses inward while slightly dragging her hand down, causing the upper flap to open and expose additional cleavage, "And at the very least for the long-term of your own self-interest, please I beg of you to allow your son to follow his heart!"  Bringing tears to her eyes as she opens them wide in a pleading fashion, she drops in supplication before Kadar and gently kisses his foot.[OOC: While in the midst of speaking, I use Sense Motive to determine his initial attitude towards me and my proposition (Indifferent, Helpful, etc).  If it turns out to be below Friendly despite the Attraction, I manifest Telempathic Projection as before, which raises his attitude by one step and gives more Diplomacy bonus.  Diplomacy check is at +47, or +51 if I used Telempathic Projection]</blockquote>
