Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

*Diedrik reaches the Helmsman's Chambre, where he sees a beautiful Rowaini woman with long dark hair and bright silver eyes. She is wearing a gorgeous blue and silver gown, and she doesn't notice Diedrik, concentrating on keeping the ship in motion.*

*Diedrik casually leans against the wall, watching the woman carefully for when she eases her concentration, but also taking the opportunity to appreciate her beauty.*

Just what I need, another Rowaini onboard. She's very attractive, and unlike certain others she's actually meant to be here, which are a couple of points in her favour. Guess the only way to ascertain risk is to find out how much she knows, if anything.

...Hmm, silver eyes. Could she be a Dolathi?

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, captain," Diedrik said with an elegant bow, "I hope I do not cause you too much distraction."[/sblock]

"Greetings. You must be Diedrik, I think. I'm sorry I couldn't be abovedecks to meet you."

[sblock]*When Diedrik continued the conversation he switched from Eldish to Rowaini. He switches back to Eldish if he needs to, but is testing Talia at the moment.*

"Good call, that's me alright," Diedrik replied, pleased that the captain was already familiar with her crew, "I decided to stop by to give a little report on goings on above deck, and to see if there was anything I needed to know.

"The most pressing matter I can think of is that we're carrying an extra couple of passengers. Has a man by the name of Kirkesh sought you out yet?" Diedrik asked, if Kirkesh hadn't found her first, he continues, "A Rowaini couple jumped aboard at the last minute, sounding as though escaping some form of trouble, if you didn't hear it as we left. The gentleman is Kirkesh, he strikes me as being well travelled but mischievious, and the lady is Vanessa De'Toile. She's nobility, if you aren't familiar with the name. It appears they're eloping, which could bring unpleasantness. Aside from that I think I saw an exchange of coin, so they may be intending to pay their way.

"Hmm, speaking of eloping, do you perhaps know how to perform a marriage ceremony? I'm giving you fair warning that they intend to have you do it for them, just in case you need time to think of an excuse," he says, half-jokingly, "But yes, I expect they'll speaking to you about it."

"Gaius appears as though he's going to have a tough time communicating with most as he doesn't really share a common language with many. I think he's capable of learning though."

If Kirkesh has found the captain before Diedrik has, he skims through the details of what he was going to say to her in case there is something she hasn't been told about.

"Is there any important information the crew needs to be informed of?" he then asks.[/sblock]

*Valyssa nods.*

"Reading sounds wonderful right about now."

"I'm not sure. Did you have anything in mind, Kirkesh?"

"Oh, I'm a Dolathi, Diedrik, and I'm proud of who I am, so I won't hide it. I find that this Rowaini form just feels right for me though. You don't need to test me by speaking in Rowaini."

"A Rowaini couple, eh? Good, that makes eight expedition members then. We have just enough room."

"Marriage ceremony? Umm...no, I definitely don't know how to do that. Do you?"

"Does Gaius speak Altanian, Eldish, Seelie, or Melodian? Probably not, or he would share a language in common with a bunch of us."

"You know about the expedition, right? Then I guess there isn't really too much more to say. Do you have any questions?"

(OOC: Why she didn't pick up Rowaini is beyond me )

[SBLOCK]“It sure does, and now we needn’t be so reserved either that there in no-one to offend!”

*Zaeryn removes the wine and goblets from his satchel again, pouring them both another small serve, before he moves to the bed. Slipping out of his clothes he assumes his typical reclined position for when Valyssa reads a romantic novel, happy they can now enjoy their reading as they usually do without having to be polite for the sake of others.*[/SBLOCK]

*Valyssa disrobes as well, slipping into Zaeryn's gentle arms as she finds their page to begin again.*

[SBLOCK]*Kissing her neck and shoulders, Zaeryn begins to softly stroke Valyssa’s skin...feeling a little more playful than usual though he also turns some touches into gentle tickles.*[/SBLOCK]

*Valyssa is distracted from her book by Zaeryn's caresses and tickles, as she turns to face him, giggling, and gives him a kiss.*
