[Vile] Maiden of Pain's Redemption

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Orshallan looks up at Loviana, startled, but narrows his eyes at her words.*

"You may know better than I what to look for," he admits, and allows Loviana to examine the body. Knowing her own predilection for concealing the deadly within the beautiful, Loviana examines Silversilk's jeweled bracelets, and finds tiny needles on their inside surface, the jewels on the opposite side pressed down slightly.

Loviana hisses in anger at finding the concealed suicide device but she doesn’t say anything and as her rage builds she throws the bracelet at the arcanist, “I thought you said you check her you idiots!”

Shaking as she tries to hold her anger back she mutters under her breath, “I knew I should have done it my damn self…”

*The arcanist looks at the bracelet and blanches.*

"I swear I didn't know one could make the holes so fine... nor deliver that potent of a poison in such a small dose..." though his expression is apologetic, his tone is one of a scholar on a new trail of research. You have the feeling he's going to be scouring jewelry shops for the next few months.

*Orshallan shakes his head and gets a length of silk to drape over the corpse.*

"All is not lost. Silversilk dwelled here for over thirty years, and most trade is done here. Her bracelet was made here, and whoever hired her and who threatened her to suicide must be here," he points out quickly before Loviana's temper gets any worse.

Loviana looks at the arcanist in disgust; his words all but confirm his stupidity in her cold angry sea green eyes but she bites her tongue and simply reaches out with her hand for the bracelet while she turns to vent on Orshallan.

“All is not lost? Oh I disagree but you are right about one thing Orshallan… The person who hired her is still here and is no doubt putting in motion their next plan to kidnap or kill me… but your also wheeling around like a blind man. This wasn’t a simple attempted mugging in a random back street this was a wedding dressmaker! What are the chances of that happen by random chance? Slim? Zero? They know are plans Orshallan! We can’t even risk getting married let alone contemplate living any type of life outside of being prey!”

"I know that Loviana. I really do. But we must take this one step at a time. If we find Silversilk's contact, we find the first thread in this tangled skein of yarn. Eventually we can unravel it, but we must start somewhere!" Orshallan says forcefully, color rising to his cheeks.

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana doesn’t bat an eye as Orshallan’s anger becomes more apparent as she mouths a quick retort, “Like I don’t know that Orshallan?”

Shaking her head in disgust she turns her attention, and anger, back towards the arcanist, “Bracelet? Please!”

Though she says please it’s not with any sort pleasantness…

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Orshallan keeps his mouth shut, and turns to one of the guards, beginning to ply him for information about Silversilk, her associates, enemies, family, and friends. The arcanist hands the bracelet back reluctantly, and turns to examine the body more closely.*

Loviana: Half-Nymph/Female (Unfettered/Bondblade)

Loviana quickly pockets the bracelet, hopefully making it out of sight out of mind to those around her, she watches the arcanist examine the body, asking questions in the hopes that he will tell her anything of interest but also in an effort to butter him up some… She wanted to see the body naked, Loviatar’s faithful often tattooed, pierced, or scared their bodies out of love for their goddess, and those marks could help determine who Silversilk’s contact was.

She also absently listened to the answers that Orshallan received filing away the knowledge for a later day.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*The arcanist finally shakes his head and stands.*

"I must bring the body to the Guard Hall so that it can be examined more closely. You are welcome to come with if you desire," he says softly, and has some others finish in binding a silken shroud around the fallen dressmaker.

Loviana nods her head accepting of the offer and moves over to Orshallan, “I shall be following the arcanist… I want to see the body up close, there could be hidden details not fit for a public viewing but they could be invaluable to us. Care to join me?”
