Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Subterfuge looks confused and a bit scared at Talia's panic, and he reflexively brings his arm around her to comfort her in a hug, and then blushes and starts to remove it.*

"Don't worry, Talia. Let's go check Glamour's shop--you deserve the best! And you're my guest today, so if there's anything you like, its yours!"
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Dark Nemesis]

Rystil:

[sblock]Apparantly, her attempt to not look panicked had failed miserably. But, she rather liked the feeling of his arm around her shoulder, so she reached up to stop him before he could remove it.

"Well.... there is no harm in looking, I suppose," she said at last. She took in a deep breath, before smiling a little.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Subterfuge keeps his arm around Talia when she reaches up to touch him and keep his arm there, and he smiles.*

"Alright, then let's take a look," and with his arm around her he guides Talia into Glamour's shop.

*A smiling, stunningly-lovely girl sits behind a little counter, sewing some stitches into a piece of cloth, though she quickly looks up when she hears the door and her eyes light up and she puts on a big smile, walking out to meet her two visitors.*

*Her raven-black hair is meticulously styled in an alluring pattern, and the scandalous dress she wears is incredibly beautiful--the brilliant red perfectly complimenting the girl's bright blue eyes.*

"What can I do to you today Subterfuge?" she asks sweetly.

"Hi Glamour," Subterfuge replies, "This is Talia, and we'd like to look at a few dresses for her for the opening of Culana tonight."

She glances around the shop briefly, before turning her attention to the smiling woman who greeted them. She was amazed at how beautiful her dress was, especially considering the little amount of fabric it was made from. The fact that Glamor knows Subterfuge by name is not lost on her.

"Good afternoon," she says, when Subterfuge introduces her.[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
"How do you do?" Glamour asks Talia, "So you're Talia? You're just as lovely in person as all the fabulous descriptions I've been hearing from Subterfuge!"

*She sees Talia looking at her dress.*

"Do you like my dress? I have a few more just like it, and some others that would be perfect for you if you want a bit more cover," she smiles kindly.
[/SBLOCK]

Rystil:

"Yes, I am Talia. It is very nice to meet you, Glamor," Talia replies politely. She could feel the color spreading across her cheeks at Glamor's comment. Subterfuge had been talking about her? Wow!

"Yes, I do like your dress," she replied. "It is quite beautiful, though I am not sure if I could pull off something so daring!"[/sblock]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil Only

[SBLOCK]*Having recently explored the new maze, Zaeryn leads Valyssa slowly through the maze to an isolated spot where he thinks no one will disturb them, before kissing her passionately.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

*Rystil Only*[SBLOCK]

"I am called Kyoko, honoured warrior...if I may ask, what is yours?"

"I am Yuriko, little one," Yuriko answered. "I must be on my way, what you find among the bodies is yours."

*Yuriko scanned the horizon in every direction, making certain no wolves - or wolves in human clothes to be more appropriate - had noticed the smoke and come to take advantage. Before continuing on her way, Yuriko will make one circuit around the homestead in a wide arch of about 3/4 mile looking for stragglers, or the rest of the men, before continuing on her way.* [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Glamour smiles knowingly at Talia's blush.*

"Hmm, then let's try something a bit less daring, but just as beautiful--sound good?...Would you like to come with me to the dressing rooms?"

*Subterfuge gives Talia a supportive squeeze and smiles as he lets go so she can follow Glamour if she wants.*
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa looks around the maze cheerfully, puzzling at how to find a way out but more than willing to follow Zaeryn's lead--she always gets lost after all. When they reach the secluded spot near a fragrant and colourful bed of flowers, Valyssa giggles as Zaeryn reaches out to kiss her, and then returns his kiss with an equal fervour.*
