[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7318879, member: 2012"] [B]And here we go![/B] If any of those gathered in the hall notice his discomfort, they do not stare at Caerth or do anything to make him feel uncomfortable. In his discomfort, his eyes linger on the young nobleman seated next to Lady Melantha. There is something in Lord Xander's posture that tells the big druid that he to is a bit uncomfortable with the situation as well. He is distracted by the young miss and her emotional condition, which is probably normal for someone of his ilk. "I have every hope that it will keep this blackmailer at bay," Lady Pendour replies. "At the very least, I will know what is hidden in the crypt before deciding to hand it over to this fiend or not." "Without it," Sir Ghal adds. "This blackmailer won't be able to get to whatever is sealed in there. Personally, I think we should find out what is in there, and if it could cause the Pendour Family trouble, destroy it. Or, at least, seal it away somewhere else the blackmailer won't be able to find it." "That still leaves the same problem," Lord Gar Ebal says to his son.

"I am sorry to say such things, but we must be practical. The less you know the better." He sighs and stands, pacing. "I admit I was wrong about you.
