The Secret Scion

[sblock=Bail]"Oh, all right," Mel says, oddly sounding a little nervous. "I just wanted to offer... you know... to teach you to read... that is if you want to. I can see it's hard on you, not being able to and all."[/sblock]

"How did it go with your woman friend?" Mel asks.


"Who?" asks Harolk. "Ah, you mean her. No, I haven´t seen her in this time. And frankly, she´s cute, but I don´t believe the whole thing it´s worth the pain."
 

[sblock=Mel]"What is it that you found out?" She is sitting on her favorite ottoman sipping a cup of kalashtar tea, the inviting scent lingering in the air around her.[/sblock]

[sblock=Bail's Angels & Bail]Inviting the crew into the living room when others aren't around, Shenystari sits down on her favorite ottoman, pouring a customary cup of tea for each of you, she begins. "Arden Fair holds an introductory discourse on the steps of his home every once in a while, there is one coming in a few days. We will, as agreed, go together to this first introductory discourse. He uses it to draw in new people to his circle, however, we can use it as reconnaissance before we go to a proper meeting. Weigh this Arden Fair properly before we meet him more on his own ground."

She sips at her tea, the inviting scent lingering around her. "Bail, you can bring a sword and your armor, but please don't jump at him. We don't want to start anything in public or alert him to anything out of the ordinary, wear it as if you were never to draw it, more for show. But it is there if we need it, I'm sure it'll make us all a bit more comfortable to know your trusty blade is there." She waits for any thoughts or reactions from her friends.[/sblock]
 

[SBLOCK=Bail's Angels]"I would say, actually, that we should not all go until we are ready to strike--if he is actually an agent of the Dreaming Dark, he might be...an Inspired, right? Wouldn't he be able to easily recognise a Kalashtar and possibly call allies. Perhaps we send just myself and Mel--he probably won't be able to pull off any fancy psionic tricks in public without being caught. I'm getting a bad feeling that the moment he discovers a Kalashtar on his tail is also the moment we need to strike if we want any chance of catching him by surprise."[/SBLOCK]
 

[sblock=Bail's Angels]"While I appreciate your sentiment Rayni," Shenystari sips once at her tea, "I will be going with the rest of you. I am sure with a bit of work we will blend in fine with the crowd. Lastly, neither you nor Mel would probably recognize the signs as to whether Arden Fair is host to a spirit or not."[/sblock]
 

[SBLOCK=Bail's Angels]"I just wish we could know that ahead of time so we didn't lose the element of surprise. Mel, did you find out anything useful in that regard?"[/SBLOCK]
 

[sblock=Sheny]"I... I saw Arden, he's like posessed or has another spirit in him or something, and he was trying to tear something like it out of a young girl. It was strange, and then I clocked him on the head," Mel says. "I.. I get visions like that occasionaly, I thought you might be able to make sense of it. Is it a Kalashtar thing? I know that sounds rude, but I realy don't know much about the Kalashtar."[/sblock]

[sblock=Bail's Angels]"He does host a spirit, I am sure of it," Mel says knowingly. "I think he is trying to collect more such spirits, though I don't fully understand what or why. I would feel better if Bail was around, just in case, but perhaps he'd best not partipate. Perhaps as a body guard?"[/sblock]
 

"Are you going to go Tondrek? I doubt we'd make it through the door. But Harolk is right, it does say to bring friends." Hxaptos says with a smile.
 

Tondrek looks downfallen. "They don't let me see? But I like to see! And I know blade stuff, too! A little, anyway."
 

Someone said:
"Who?" asks Harolk. "Ah, you mean her. No, I haven´t seen her in this time. And frankly, she´s cute, but I don´t believe the whole thing it´s worth the pain."
"That's too bad," Mel says. "Don't give up. You never know when you'll meet again, and you can get some good practice in besides."
