Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Rystil Arden]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
"There is no need for worry. We will not be bothered by the guards--they would not dare trifle with my mistress. And you are correct--there is little they could do to you anyway."

*The carriage heads towards the city's western gate as the Pleb speaks, occassionally bumping about as it goes, but not too sharply. The Praetorian Empire in general and the capital city of Praetoria in particular are known for their good roads.*

Diedrik:
[SBLOCK]
*From the way the sun sits in the sky, it seems to be a bit past highsun.*

"Ah, you mean the Kurogane competition hosted by Mishima Kyo? It sounds like an exciting event, but I don't think I would belong there...far better for me to stay at home in Eldiz, I think...As for cooking for royalty, I've found that the people are less friendly there, even though the money is probably better. So I like to stay here, where I can meet plenty of friendly and interesting people and enjoy myself, and really, what else do I need? Besides...the special suites on the second floor do make good money on occasion.

How about you? Ever thought about changing from your many peregrinations, or has the wanderlust of the spheres swept you up and still yet to let go?"

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Rin is quiet for a while, perhaps afraid or simply reticent, and she seems about to shake her head 'No' when finally she nods softly.*

[Rystil Arden]

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*After Kirkesh knocks out the guards she quietly slips them one by one into Vanessa's new room. As she is bringing the second guard, she is surprised by a member of the inn's staff who must have just come up the stairs--he had not been there when she swept along the hall checking for people before moving the guard.*

"Excuse me miss," the young man in uniform and insignia of the establishment states politely, "But what is going on here? Is there something wrong? A guest informed us of some loud noises coming from room 243."
[/SBLOCK]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa slaps her hand over her face and shakes her head and sighs*

"Oh, dear...I'm so stupid! I knew I was forgetting something, but I couldn't think of what it was. I meant to ask you if there were any good inns here but I got distracted. I'm sure it will be too late to check in anywhere now. I'm such a bubblehead."

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[SBLOCK]

*Rin is quiet for a while, perhaps afraid or simply reticent, and she seems about to shake her head 'No' when finally she nods softly.*

*Yuriko looked back at Rin's brother and mother and positioned herself so that she could watch them and listen to Rin. She pulled a stray lock of hair out of her eyes and looked at Rin with clear eyes. Very little emotion showed on her face as she really didn't know how to feel in this instance.*

"Very well, little one," Yuriko replied. "I am here to listen and do what I can."[/SBLOCK]

 

[Bront]

RA:
[SBLOCK]

*After Kirkesh knocks out the guards she quietly slips them one by one into Vanessa's new room. As she is bringing the second guard, she is surprised by a member of the inn's staff who must have just come up the stairs--he had not been there when she swept along the hall checking for people before moving the guard.*

"Excuse me miss," the young man in uniform and insignia of the establishment states politely, "But what is going on here? Is there something wrong? A guest informed us of some loud noises coming from room 243."

Kirkesh blushes furiously, leans over, and whispers to the member of the staff "Apparently the D'Étoile guards like things... um... a bit rough... " she says as she pulls the bottom of her dress down a bit "The.. um.. lord who brought me here knew a few of them and... well... boys will be boys.. " She says with a sly look crossed with embarassment. "Now, I'm sure they don't want anything like that getting out, and I'm sure that you'll handle this discreetly now hon, right?" She says, looking him sweetly in the eyes, with soft pouty lips smiling hopefully. "In fact, if ya tell me when ya gettin off later, I'm sure I could make your discression worth your while." she says as she runs her hand from his shoulder and down lingering around his thigh a bit with a seductive smile.

"Now, if ya don't mind, I've got a bit of.. er.. business to finish up. And I'll try ta be real quiet about it." She winks.

Gaius

Gaius sits in the carriage, leaning back and trying to have a glimpse at the high quarter from between a gap in the curtains, not knowing when he will be able to travel there again, and determined to see as much as possible.

[unleashed]

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Don’t blame yourself...with the whirlwind day we’ve had I hadn’t though about it myself until this very moment. Not to worry, I’m sure I can find us somewhere safe to spend the night.”

*He says laughing softly as he kisses Valyssa where she slapped herself on the face, before slowly standing and offering her his hand to help her up. Once they are both ready to go, Zaeryn takes her to his current residence.*

OOC: I’m assuming Zaeryn is staying at his family home while in Erilan unless he has quarters elsewhere.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Festy_Dog]

Rystil:

[sblock]"...yeah, I still have a lot travel left to go," Diedrik answered.

Her and I have things in common when I think about it. Changing our appearances like we do.

*Diedrik ate quietly for a moment.*

"Where you feel most at home is where you belong," he said, "I'm glad you're happy here."[/sblock]
