[QUOTE="spyscribe, post: 1492259, member: 5808"] [b]Interlude:[/b] [i]In which: Reyu seeks answers.[/i] [i](note to players in our game: There may still be a couple details here that are not common knowledge to everyone in the party. I don’t think anything here will be a surprise to anyone, but if you wish to remain pure of out of character knowledge, skip this update.)[/i] Reyu finds Lira that evening, eating alone in a local tavern where the two of them used to frequently meet for breakfast. In the time they’ve spent together Lira’s elven accent had become almost passable, but upon reflection, Reyu realizes that in all their conversations Lira has said almost nothing of herself. Lira has now stationed herself at a table in a corner with a bowl of stew, a mug of ale, and an expression calculated to dissuade any potential “company.” Euro is coiled around her neck, poised to take on any unwelcome visitors. Reyu sits down anyway. “What you said earlier today at the temple… You [i]can[/i] go home, can you not?” Lira bites her lip. “I [i]could[/i]. I just don’t think anyone would be very happy to see me.” Reyu patiently waits for her companion to continue. “My parents were… not exactly pleased to find out their daughter was a sorcerer… I don’t blame them, I mean, [i]I[/i] wasn’t exactly pleased to [i]be[/i] a sorcerer. I kept it a secret for more than a year, but… I couldn’t control my talents, couldn’t…” Lira pauses, takes a deep breath and a swallow of ale. “They kept me in the house and pretended they didn’t have a daughter anymore. Eventually, I ran away. And then you met me in Dar Aego.” Reyu puts a hand on the young human’s shoulder. Lira looks down in surprise. Reyu is not usually one for touching. “You have nothing to be ashamed of. Someday you will return home, and your family will see that.” Lira gives a half smile, skeptical but polite, and returns her attention to her stew. Reyu sits with her for a few moments, then leaves as silently as she came. [/QUOTE]
