So without further ado, Kyoko's solo...The Magister's Library in the afternoon:Kyoko sighed as she poured over the various volumes on the table before her. Agis was sitting next to her studiously pouring over any clues they could decipher about Lathos or these shadowy men. Her eyes were drooping as she glanced over a particularly dry tome concerning Ancient Artifacts and stumbled over a bit of text concerning Lathos and his shield, Aegis of Lathos."Uhh Agis I think I found something here," kyoko said surprised, "something about a shield of Lathos.""What does it say Kyoko?" he replied in a hushed tone."Hmm, well here it says that the shield bore the symbol of Lathos and was considered invulnerable and extremely light, but unlike Lathos it does mention the last location of the shield."Agis nodded, "Where?""It says here in a lost citadel called Honin Tau. Do you know where that is?"Agis thinks for a moment, "hmm well..." he so consults a tome, "hmm yes to the north of here, in the mountains, but the actual location is sketchy at best."Kyoko sighed, "I guess I need to look into that too, every time we solve one more mystery, another opens and presents itself."Agis nods, "I know, but I thank you for your assistance, this is much easier with two minds on the task."Kyoko smirked, "Think nothing of it it is the least I can do."Agis shrugged mirthfully and returned to looking at the various tomes, while kyoko decided to take a slight break and relax. In the next row over she spied the Royal Cormyrian Inquisitor, Lady Falhan. Kyoko sneered, she still does not trust the inquisitor one bit.She turned to Agis, "what is the inquisitor doing here," she whispered."I am not quite sure most likely studying one thing or another why?" he asked."I just..." she sighed, "just wondering. Agis don't you think the inquisitor arrived fairly quickly to interrogate Rhea?""Well of course, but from my understanding she was already on her way to for one reason or another.""Really what for," Kyoko perked up, "I thought she was here because of Rhea.""Well now that I think about it," he furrowed his brow, "she must have another agenda, I suppose."At that moment a well dressed gentleman with a slim build politely tapped Kyoko on the shoulder. She turned to look at him and smiled warily. He was an older man with soft dark eyes and a pencil thin mustache, he smiled as he pointed at a tome on their table."Excuse ma'am, are you finished with that?" he said politely.Kyoko nodded, "Oh I am sorry of course please help yourself."The gentleman picked up the tome and turned to continue his studies. Something about the man did not sit right with Kyoko though, something felt out of place with him. Finally it dawned on her, he was one of the gentlemen that was conversing with Turlus, the scoundrel.As the gentleman sauntered away she turned to Agis and whispered, "Agis, I know that man, I saw him talking with Turlus about some type of deal. Who is he?"Agis glanced over his shoulder, "Oh him, he is a wealthy merchant and a member of the Magisters. I have worked with him on occasion as has Houses Dorbal and Reave. His name is Samuel Hillock, he seems an honest enough fellow."Kyoko shook her head, "I don't think so, not if he was talking to Turlus, and not what with I heard. He is involved Agis. Hmm he wasn't alone though, what do you know of a dour yet welldressed portly fellow with dark balding hair?"Agis smirks, "That sounds like a freind of Samuel's, the local justice Halden Froster. He was to be the judge for Rhea's case, hmm it seems this conspiracy is running very deep."Kyoko shook her head, "Rhea's judge, yes I bet that would have been a fair trial. Hmm we may need to look into these two individuals."Agis nodded, "Of course."Kyoko stretched, and settled back to reading and sifting through the texts. At some point her eyelids drooped and she was out fast. She roused herself and looked around Agis was still at work, she stretched gently, "I think we should call it a night Agis."Agis yawned, "Oh yes... I am sleepy myself." He began to pile up the books and placed some back, then escorted Kyoko outside. The two of them worked their way back down the cold streets of Quell the moon high in the night sky.Agis smirked, "Oh i should tell you in 6 days Quell will be the site of the Festival of Apples, thrown by the halflings of House Oakfoot. The festival is a great time, I think you would enjoy it. My sister Velana should be arriving for the festival and I am sure she would like to meet you and the others."Kyoko smiled, "Really I look forward to it."Agis glanced over at Kyoko, "It is a beautiful evening to be sure."Kyoko nodded, "It is fine..."Agis placed a hand gently on her shoulder, "Well the night is much more enchanting with good company," he smiled.Kyoko blushed lightly, "Please don't flatter me, are you interesetd in the pleasent company or something more?" with a coy knowing smile.Agis smiled, trapped by her words, "I cannot beleive I am that transparent, but yes I am in a word attracted to your presence."Kyoko smirked, "Just like how you are attracted to Rhea?"Agis shook his head, "No that is different, I mean, I care for Rhea because she is a strong woman. She faces persecution head on and is not afraid of anything it seems. I admire that in her, very much so. But you Kyoko, you are something else, and the way i feel about you, it is scary how that makes me feel."Kyoko looked into his eyes and then bit her lip and turned and started walking, "we should be getting back."Agis nodded, slightly crestfallen and the two returned to the manse in silence. Agis turned to kyoko after they were inside out of the cold, "Good evening Kyoko, please sleep well." He then turned and went to his personal chambers.Kyoko nodded, "Good night," she sighed not quite sure why she rebuffed him. She felt the attraction as well, but decided against it. With that she returned to her room to rest.</blockquote>
