Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jarval" data-source="post: 1471023" data-attributes="member: 421">"Brystasia, I have nothing but confidence in you."   Mariele matches Brystasia's smile with one of her own.  "Now, I'd better introduce you to the Morwynites who brought this news to me.  I told them to wait in the auditorium while I discussed this with you."  She stands and starts back towards the Lyceum's main building as she talks.  "They are the two who are making this investigation, and seem like a capable pair.  I know the Faithful Brother who accompanies the Matriarch a little, and he's a dependable sort, if a little too literal at times.  You know how the Faithful Brothers can be."  She shakes her head in mild amusement.Stepping into the Lyceum's bright, airy halls is still a small pleasure, even given the year Brystasia's had to familiarise herself with it's interior.  The delicately carved pillars that line the main hall look far too slim to support the great arches of the painted ceiling, but given that the Lyceum is one of Marlock City's older buildings, obviously do their job well.  The main hall and the Grand Theater are thronging with actors and craftsmen, all busy preparing for Agmar Farman's new production.  Mariele leads the way through the crowds with the grace of someone well used to just this environment, making her way up to the mostly empty auditorium.Sat out of the way of the main throughways of the theater are a young man and woman.  The girl has dark hair and eyes that contrast markedly with the pure white of her priest's robes.  Brystasia guesses the girl to be close to her own age, and notes that her looks would not be out of place among Aymara's clergy.  The young man is a strapping lad, clad in a chain mail shirt covered by a pale blue surcoat, an embroidered wreath of white blossoms prominent at its center.  Unlike his companion, he is blond haired and blue eyed, a look of quiet confidence on his face.Both rise from their seats as Mariele approaches.  Turning back to Brystasia, Mariele introduces the pair."Brystasia, this is Sister of Beneficence Hestia, a matriarch of the healing halls of Morwyn."  The girl curtsies as she is introduced.  "And this is Brother Ged, one of Morwyn's faithful sons."  The blonde man bows swiftly, his chain shirt rustling as he bends."Brother, sister, this is fair dame Brystasia, Aesthete of Aymara."  Mariele finishes the introductions simply.</blockquote>
