Kiss of Darkness: Part 1--A Hint of Shadow

[unleashed]

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

[SBLOCK=Rystil]“Most fortunate then, as that’s where I was heading. I was hoping to meet the maestro who created the meal I dined on last evening, and perhaps get a few tips,” Baeleth declares, smiling.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Baeleth]"Well it could have been Eve, but..." he smirks and laughs slightly, "If you thought it was good, then it must have been Stefan or Thom."[/SBLOCK]

[Sblock=RA]Rhaka looks to Reyna and thinks for a moment. "I was just in the process of finding out how her mate was killed when my spell ran out and I wasn't able to fully piece it all together. I do know that the body of the mouse was still there, so it likely was not killed for food. Of course, the owner of the house we found the mouse in had not been around for some time, either. I can honestly say I'm at a complete loss as to where the owner of the house could've gone, too. But that is not your worry and certainly a conversation for another day entirely! But it does raise another concern of mine. If she was used to living off of the benevolence of the owner of the house - whether the owner did it intentionally or whether the owner was merely a messy housekeeper - I fear that she might not do well learning to scavange and keep watch over little ones."[/Sblock]

Baeleth Dawnmist, Male High Elf Swashbuckler

[SBLOCK=Rystil]“Hmm, well, if it helps, I dined in the royal suite last night, so if you know who prepared that meal...”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Rhaka]"Ah, that's quite possible...hmm...well I guess you are probably moving around too much to take her safely with you and Kinjon. I would be glad to help her, but if she was noticed, she would have to leave. I'll try to think. Do you have any other ideas?"[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Baeleth]"Ah, with the Lady Valerie? Interesting, I didn't know she had a man in her life, and an elf too. I'll admit I'm surprised," as he talks, a liveried waiter heads out quickly but carefully with a silver platter, "But my apologies for being intrusive. I actually am not privy to exactly who cooked what yesterday. However, the kitchens should be getting quieter pretty soon, so you could go in and ask them then."

"Well, I guess it's true that you could ask them now, even though they're busy, and they'll probably answer you, I guess."


*Alesia pokes her head into the room.*

"Ah Baeleth, can I help you?"

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock=RA] Rhaka pauses and adds, "Well, I had thought about taking her with me, but I fear that I have no way of guaranteeing her safety as you suggest. Perhaps another solution will present itself into the future. For now, however, I think that I will simply suggest that she stay where she is and deliver food to her whenever I possibly can. I do appreciate your hearing my dilemma, though.

Now, do tell me of these horses..."

Rhaka steps up to the one she is brushing, stroking it gently with admiration of the animal.

OOC: I'm off to bed ... alarm clock goes off in 6 hours and 20 minutes and then I get to go play my bass for 3 hours. Yay! You are welcome to view Rhaka's latest statement as an invitation to further RP or as a place to summarize and catch Rhaka up to the rest of the party and their location. Although ... it looks as though Baeleth has split off, too. Anyway, I digress. Either way, I'll be back in about 12 hours to see what you've done![/Sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Rhaka]"It was no trouble, Rhaka. In fact, it is my pleasure."

"Now as to the horses, they change about whenever people come or go, but for the most part, all the ones here are noble and magnificent animals. Some of them are sweet, some are feisty, and some are a bit nasty. They are all different, and it is fun to meet them all."

[SBLOCK=Rystil]“It’s no matter, though the Lady Valerie and I aren’t involved in that way,” Baeleth offers discreetly. “Well, I should let you get back to your work, and see what’s going on in the kitchen...”

“Oh, hello Alesia, I was just coming to see whoever created the meal we were served last evening...”[/SBLOCK]

“It’s no matter, though the Lady Valerie and I aren’t involved in that way. Well, I should let you get back to your work, and see what’s going on in the kitchen...”

"Yes, I suppose you would want to go in anyway."

“Oh, hello Alesia, I was just coming to see whoever created the meal we were served last evening...”

"Oh, I can get the answer to that for you, Baeleth. Never fear. You can go ahead and rejoin the others, and I'll head up to you with the answer soon, okay?"
