Nawain/Logs/20260520

You say in a Rakash accent, I'm afraid that if you t-turn off the thinking part of my head again, if you hypnotize me, I'll... I'll do awful things. I'll hurt you. I'll lose that l-last... little bit of me, hurting you. I can't have that, Suki. I c-can't allow that.

You ask in a Rakash accent, Does... does that make sense?

(Sukidesu gently and reassuringly squeezes her hand.)

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It does, I understand that.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, I'm sorry that it hurt your feelings.

You hug Sukidesu who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile.  A faint scent of fresh herbs clings to his skin.

Sukidesu hugs you, and you wrap your arms around him with a warm smile.

[Personal][Davrion] <to you>  how are you doing?

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I just want to help you so badly. I don't like seeing you terrified of hurting your friends and family, and I feel...useless. Powerless.

(Nawain opens her mouth to reply, then gasps slightly, gaze distant.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Nawain...?

You exclaim in a Rakash accent, Oh! Sir Davrion!

Sukidesu cocks his head.

You hear your mental voice echo to Davrion, Sir Davrion! I'm... Uhh.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, What about him...?

You hear your mental voice echo to Davrion, I'm feeling... g-guilty.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu glances at you.

[Personal][Davrion] <to you>  guilty for what?

You say in a Rakash accent, I...

You take in a great breath of air.

You say in a Rakash accent, Suki, I need to do this.

You frown.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Nawain?

You say in a Rakash accent, I.. need to tell him... something.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Can I go with you? I don't like you going by yourself...I'm supposed to stay with you...

You say in a Rakash accent, Yes. Let's s-step...

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

You point at a door.

Sukidesu stands up.

Sukidesu nods.

You stand back up.

You walk through the door.

[Zoluren Royal Mews, Training Field] (170012)

Another practice area opens up, with the scent of fresh grass and the smell of horses in sharp contrast to the fragrant roses planted against a nearby brick wall.  Wooden barrels and fences provide the perfect opportunity for practicing jumps and turns.

You also see an oak tree strung with garlands of thistle and amber-hued gaethzen orbs.

Also here: Merchant Marine Teavira.

Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

Room Number: 7621

Sukidesu climbs down the ladder hanging on an oak tree.

Sukidesu joins your group.

Knight of Chaos Davrion just arrived.

Davrion sweeps a glimmering helm surmounted by a radiant crown of icesteel off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to you at the same time.

(Nawain stands up straighter, and nods gravely to Davrion.)

You see Knight of Chaos Davrion Van'dahurst, Joustmaster, a Human.

Davrion has an angular face, pointed ears, stormy grey eyes and a straight nose.  His brown hair is shoulder length and thick, and is worn shaved on the sides and pulled back into a ponytail.  He has tanned skin and a massive build.

He is tall for a Human.

He appears to be venerable.

He has a tattoo of a seven-sided snowflake on his neck.

He is in good shape.

He is holding an oak-hafted legionary's pilum carved with the image of a shrike in his right hand.

He is wearing a jet black damite armet shaped like a howling wolf's head, some burnished everdusk damite full plate embellished with scorpion diamonds, an effervescent eddy of honey-hued light captured by a sungold frame, a pair of burnished everdusk damite gauntlets embellished with scorpion diamonds and a white silk surcoat with the crest of the Paladins' Guild on the front.

Davrion quietly says, Greetings all.

Sukidesu gives Davrion a slight nod.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Sir D-davrion, this is... Sukidesu, and T-teavira. They're, umm... They're pack.

Teavira nods politely to Davrion.

Davrion quietly says, Pleasure to meet you both. she speaks very highly of you.

You nod in agreement.

You take in a great breath of air.

It has been 456 years, 201 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.

It is the 6th month of Arhat the Fire Lion in the year of the Bronze Wyvern.

It is currently summer and it is dawn.

You're positive it's 2 roisaen before the Anlas of Berengaria's Touch.

(Nawain gazes upwards, obviously mulling her words.)

Davrion quietly says to you, Is everything ok? you seem troubled.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You wince.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, You're an honorable man.

Davrion quietly says, I try to be. without honor there is no purpose.

You give a slight nod.

You say in a Rakash accent, Which means... which means that if you make a... a pr-promise...

You ponder.

Davrion quietly says, My word is my bond. I NEVER break it.

You wince.

(Sukidesu places a hand on Nawain's shoulder gently to try and give her some support.)

Davrion quietly says, Otherwise i'd be no better than that sorry excuse for a Baron.

You say in a Rakash accent, Say, a.. a p-promise about someone's... s-safety and well-being....

Davrion frowns.

Davrion quietly asks, Is someone threatening you or the pack?

(Nawain huffs, clenching her fists and relaxing them as she searches the skies again for words.)

You say in a Rakash accent, N-no...

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu cocks his head.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Not so sure that's true.

Davrion quietly says, When you were on my ship I told you I would defend you and your pack. I value what few friendships I have.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I know, and that's... that's why I...

You mumble something unprintable.

You rub your neck.

Sukidesu says to you in a Shardian accent, You need to tell him.

Davrion quietly says, Why don't we sit down and start from the beginning.

Davrion takes a seat.

You sit down.

Sukidesu takes a seat near you.

Teavira takes a seat.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, One moment, I know something that might help.

As Sukidesu reaches out to touch you, you feel your heart shudder and almost stop before it begins beating to a strange rhythm.

(Nawain immediately starts picking at the grass and not looking at anyone as she speaks.)

Sukidesu quietly says in a Shardian accent, Deep breaths, focus on the heartbeat...let the words come.

(Davrion sits patiently allowing time to put your mind in order)

Davrion quietly says, Take your time, I'm in no rush.

You quietly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, You... on the ship, you.. you asked me if I... was b-being hurt. If I was... being f-forced to be there? I'm sorry, the memories aren't...

You sigh.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Davrion quietly says, Aye, as far as I knew you were there of your own will but then I heard rumors of your abduction.

You wince.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, Yeah, I... I figured.

Davrion quietly says, Then when your mate came to the ship.....lets just say things didn't add up.

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, Ophi ambushed me and d-dragged me on board. And had me drink... something. It's... that's not... It had to happen, p-probably.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Sukidesu frowns at you.

Davrion frowns.

(Nawain starts drawing tiny shapes in the dirt with her pinky, unaware of all the frowning.)

You say in a Rakash accent, They... they didn't really hurt me. Not really. Others don't agree, but not really.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu glances at you.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, I know what hurt is.

You frown.

Sukidesu says in polished Rakash, You got bonked over the head, that is a hurt.

Davrion quietly says, If anyone hurt while on board my ship they will pay in blood.

You roll your eyes.

You flinch.

You gaze at Davrion.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, You're going to have to tell him, or I will.

(Nawain's eyes go wide in panic, and she shakes her head at Suki.)

You say in a Rakash accent, Don't do it.

You say in a Rakash accent, Let.. let me.

You say in a Rakash accent, Please.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Davrion quietly asks, So then you WERE abducted against your will?

(Nawain digs her fingers in the dirt, destroying her tiny pictures.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You quietly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Y-yeah. And...

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Davrion growls low in the back of his throat.

You wince.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It's okay. Deep breaths.

Davrion quietly asks, I don't understand the purpose......our fight is with the nobility. what use to kidnap someone?

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I... I don't know. I think... At first, maybe it...

You sigh.

Davrion quietly says to you, Please forgive my interruption, speak as you will.

You say in a Rakash accent, I think... I th-think there was... maybe more than one plan.

Davrion ponders.

Sukidesu pats you on the back.

Davrion quietly says, Would not be unusual. we are a diverse group with differing ideas and goals on how to achieve our common goal.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I think... there was a plan to... be my f-friend. Convince me with... words, and drink.

You ponder.

Sukidesu mutters something into the air about friends don't drug you.

You quietly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Realistically, I think some knew that wouldn't... work. Without... Y-yeah.

You nod to Sukidesu.

Davrion quietly says, I hope you do not think I was guilty of that? my words were true and as I said many times it was up to you to come to your own conclusions and opinions.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nawain has been very clear that she didn't think you were involved in the...well, she wants to tell you herself.

You firmly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I do not. I do not think you were lying, or pretending, or.. Or...

You nod in agreement.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, You are a good man. You s-spoke your truth. Thank you.

Davrion quietly says, I don't know that I would say I am a good man but i AM an honest one.

You give a half-hearted grin.

You nod to Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Fair.

(Nawain goes back to prodding at the dirt, chewing on her lip.)

You say in a Rakash accent, Some... some saw I needed to be... receptive.

You frown.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Davrion squints.

You notice as a white guinea-pig sniffs at the air for a moment.

Davrion quietly asks, Hence the alcohol at all times?

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, And one.... one s-saw I... I needed to be b-broken, first.

You give a slight nod.

Davrion quietly asks, Broken? broken how?

(Davrion clenches his fists attempting to remain calm)

(Sukidesu gently squeezes Nawain's shoulder to anchor her for this conversation.)

(Nawain's eyes roll towards Suki, and she clearly wars with herself before speaking.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.

(Nawain flexes her finges in the dirt like she could grow roots.)

Davrion quietly asks, Cambin was with you at almost all times, how could anyone get to you without him knowing?

Davrion frowns.

You flinch.

Sukidesu glances at you.

You glance at Davrion, a male Human.

You quietly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Vrali... was a very g-good guard, you're right.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nawain...not vrali.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

You say in a Rakash accent, Cambin.

Davrion quietly says, What is this word Vrali? I heard it much but know it not.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It means brother in Rakash.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, And rasa is sister.

Davrion quietly says, I shall try to remember those words and the meaning.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, He... He taught me to...

You gaze up at the sky.

You oddly say in a Rakash accent, Free myself.

Davrion quietly asks, Free yourself?

You give a slight nod.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Davrion looks about with a puzzled expression on his face.

(Sukidesu waits for Nawain to explain, biting his lip to keep silent.)

You say in a Rakash accent, Free... myself from... captivity. D-despite... despite pain, or... or fear...

Davrion quietly says, A common practice amongst front line warriors with differing methods.

(Nawain rolls her eyes toward's Suki but says to Davrion with an urgent sort of plea, That's a good lesson, right?)

You nod at Davrion, in complete agreement with his views.

You nod at Davrion, in complete agreement with his views.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nawain, I know this is hard on you, but you need to be less vague.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Because if you don't stop being vague, I will tell him.

You wince.

You notice a white guinea-pig rub against Davrion for a moment.

Davrion pets the white guinea-pig.

You ask Davrion in a Rakash accent, He.... He follows T-trothfang, you know that..?

Davrion quietly says, Him and I have never talked that much so I was unaware of his diety.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Trothfang p-prefers lessons in... in pain. In t-torture.

You frown.

Davrion growls low in the back of his throat.

You wince.

Davrion quietly says, It is quickly becoming apparent that where I offered you protection I failed miserably. the fault is mine for not being there when I was most needed.

(Nawain shakes her head quickly, looking sick.)

Davrion quietly says, Cambin will pay for his deeds and when that is done I will submit myself to you and your pack for judgement.

You say in a Rakash accent, N-no, it's.. it really wasn't...

You wince.

You mumble something unprintable.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nawain. That's not all.

Davrion quietly asks, Not all?

Davrion lets out a scream of rage!

You say in a Rakash accent, It... You j-just said, that... some lessons... Please. He needs you. He needs... better...

You wince.

Teavira coils her tail, looping it loosely around her waist.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, You've said what had to be said, now I'll say the rest, the rest that you can't.

(Nawain cringes and balls up fistfuls of dirt.)

Davrion quietly says, Oh he will get better all right.....he will get the better end of my weapon.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Cambin has her believing that he's the only one who understands her, the only one looking out for her best interests. Has her believing he's either her deceased brother or brought to her by him.

You anxiously exclaim in a Rakash accent, He t-taught me the only way he knew how!

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, In short, he's controlling her. Even nowl.

Davrion frowns.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, When confronted, she can only say 'he's vrali'.

Sukidesu glances at you.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Please, Sir Davrion. Please. He... he was doing what... what needed to be done.

Davrion quietly asks Sukidesu, Who is the senior of you two amongst the pack? you or Teavira?

Sukidesu asks Teavira in a Shardian accent, How old are you again?

Teavira serenely says in a Prydaenese accent, 105 today.

Davrion quietly says to you, And I will do what needs done for his sullying my honor.

You gaze at Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I suppose it'd be me then, 107.

Sukidesu nods.

You helplessly say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Please. He needs you. He... needs to learn a... a better way.

Davrion quietly says to Sukidesu, Then I now give you my word he will pay for his crime and at that time I will arrange with you to turn myself over to your pack for judgement for my part in all this.

Sukidesu nods graciously at Davrion, giving him a polite smile.

You flinch.

Davrion quietly says to you, I shall teach him the way he understands. pain and death.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Help Nawain, and I'll put in a good word with the Alpha myself.

Davrion quietly says to Sukidesu, I care not for leniency. I made a promise to Nawain and I failed her. you all must judge me as you see fit.

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, Vrali!

(Nawain shakes head head miserably, even if no one seems to care about her opinion on the matter right now.)

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Davrion quietly says to you, I am sorry if my words trouble you but recompense must be had and it must be in a form and method befitting his betrayal.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I...

Sukidesu gazes at you.

(Nawain looks like she's trying to panic, but the forced slowness of her heart beat makes it terribly difficult.)

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, You said you would handle it, Nawain. This is you handling it.

Sukidesu nods to you.

You say in a Rakash accent, I... n-no, I... I d-didn't mean like this...

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Dear one, your mind is not your own right now.

Davrion quietly says, Mayhap there is another way......one even more fitting.

Davrion smiles coldly

Teavira utters a brief, inquiring mrrp? in Davrion's direction.

You gaze at Davrion.

Davrion quietly says, I render him unconscious then bring him with me to face judgement from your pack.

Davrion quietly says, A kidnap for a kidnap and judgement for his actions all in one.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Sukidesu asks you in a Shardian accent, What do you say about that?

Davrion quietly says to you, Perhaps your pack will show him more mercy than I would.

Sukidesu quietly says in a Shardian accent, I wouldn't bet on that.

You say in a Rakash accent, I... I don't...

Davrion quietly says, And who knows, maybe just maybe YOU will be the ones to lead him to a better way.

(Nawain chews on her lip, expression deeply troubled.)

You say in a Rakash accent, OOC: I like it on principle, but how do we get the pack in one place at the same time? Hehehe.

Davrion quietly says to you, The choice is yours. justice at my hands or at yours and your pack.

You ask in a Rakash accent, OOC: Or even just the ones who'll want a piece of him?

Davrion quietly says, OOC: we set it up in advance as an event like we do with raids and such.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, OOC: Definitely a Tuesday or Thursday because Suki will want to be involved. Heheh.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, I am not... ready to be the... the reason he...

You gaze up at the sky.

You shudder.

Davrion quietly says, OOC: plus we need to get with him and plan out how to make it all work out where everyone enjoys themselves even the 2 condemned men.

Davrion grins.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Davrion quietly asks you, Do you wish him brought to you or do you wish to leave it in my hands?

Davrion quietly says, If left in mine his death will be slow and painful.

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Greetings, rasa.

(Nawain gives a tiny whimper, and she shakes her head at both options.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, Vrali! Run!

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Tell me, dear...what would your solution be?

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, What do you want?

Davrion quietly asks you, Remove emotion from the equation. what does your mind tell you is the best outcome?

You blink at Davrion.

(Nawain calms remarkably as she reconsiders the issue without the overwhelming emotions.)

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Unlikely. Who am I supposed to be running from?

Davrion quietly says, If emotion is how you are being controlled then you know how to sever that control at will.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, From Davrion!

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  From Davrion? That's new.

You say in a Rakash accent, The... the pack is.. better. For him.

You glance at Davrion, a male Human.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Davrion quietly says, So be it. I will bring him with me and your pack shall judge both him and I.

You wince.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Now...what remains is how we...undo the conditioning.

Davrion quietly says, Since I knew nothing of that I have no idea what that even entails.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nor does anyone else. It's a real problem.

Sukidesu frowns.

Davrion quietly asks, The key it seems is emotions though yes? perhaps a way to cancel the emotions clouding the issue?

(Nawain hunches her shoulders, and ducks her head a bit, but it doesn't disguise and distant look in her eyes.)

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Davrion quietly says, How to do that though without cancelin ALL emotions.

Davrion ponders.

Davrion blinks.

Davrion quietly says, I think I may have an idea.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Oh...?

Davrion quietly says, Correct me if I'm wrong.

Davrion quietly asks, It all seems to be tied to Cambin aye?

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Tell me what happened.

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

You say in a Rakash accent, Some of it.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, The majority.

Sukidesu nods to you.

You say in a Rakash accent, Ophiliah gave me things to drink.

You nod.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, There's no way she was not involved in some capacity...

Davrion quietly says, So your pack observes her interaction with Cambin and can then pinpoint exactly what emotions have been tapped for the control.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Davrion quietly says to you, My wife and I will also have a VERY long talk about her involvement.

Davrion frowns.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, She really didn't hurt me, Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Aside from the bonk on the head.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Davrion quietly says to you, And that is the only reason she doesn't suffer the same fate as Cambin.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, That's n-nothing, you should see what she t-tries to do to him every day...

Davrion quietly says, That's actually her love language. you know she loves you when she tries to stab you.

Davrion chuckles.

You ask Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, See?

Sukidesu looks at you and shrugs.

(Nawain's eyes grow distant again, and she scrubs at her neck.)

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, ...he's talking to you, isn't he?

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, The meeting went... Poorly. I...

You flinch.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I know that look in your eyes.

Davrion quietly says, The 3 of you get with your packmates and decide a day and time and I will deliver Us.

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, If he would just leave her alone, I think there would be much improvement.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, Vrali, he's going to find you! He's going to... to bring you to the pack.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Davrion quietly says, And if he knows in advance it will make it more fun as he will fight harder before being brought for judgement.

Davrion smiles coldly

(Nawain blanches, eyes flicking towards Davrion.)

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, What's Cambin telling you, Nawain?

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, He... He... Damnit, Suki wouldn't let me tell him my way!

(Nawain's lips thin and she doesn't answer, gaze distant.)

Sukidesu fixes you with a proud, defiant stare.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Nawain.

Davrion quietly says, In my thoughts a few moments.

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Suki. I'm going to decorate the Empaths' courtyard with his entrails and hang him on the statue. What did he say?

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, We could use my boat. The Pilot listens to me.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, What is he saying to you, dear?

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Oh no, so far I've heard of no reason for you to be running away. Dav's coming after me.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, Right, but it's my fault! I told him.... I told him you taught me. Lessons.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, Because.... Because he gave his word. He... He promised that... He's... he's mad that...

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  Ok, rasa, slow down. You told Suki, and he promised not to tell, But he's mad. Why is he mad?

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, *panicked* No, no... I told Davrion! And he's mad! I didn't want to talk about it, but Suki... He kept... poking....

(Nawain rocks slightly, listening to distant thoughts.)

Davrion quietly says, Sorry about that.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You gaze at Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Tell us what he's saying to you. He's clearly speaking to you in your mind.

Davrion quietly says, My wife may be joining us here so don't be surprised if she does.

[Personal][Cambin] <to you>  I can't do much about Dav, but Suki is going to die a thousand deaths, each more gruesome and terrifying than the last.

Sukidesu nods to Davrion.

Ophiliah wavers into view, kisses Davrion and then fades out of sight.

Davrion chuckles.

Davrion searches around for a moment.

Davrion points at Ophiliah, ruining her hiding place.

Ophiliah stands near Davrion.

(Nawain winces, gaze distant, her eyes flicking to Suki with a horrified expression.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Sukidesu stands up.

Davrion searches around for a moment.

Davrion quietly says to Ophiliah, We need to talk....

Sukidesu comes and stands near you.

Ophiliah leans on Davrion.

Ophiliah says, Always.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, What is it, Nawain?

You quietly say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, He's going to k-kill you. And... And he's going to make it hurt.

Sukidesu frowns at you.

Davrion quietly asks, How much did you know about what Cambin was doing to Nawain?

(Nawain clenches her fists and shivers, looking at the ground again.)

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Is he going to make you do it? Otherwise, he can't hurt me in any meaningful way.

Ophiliah says, I was barely on the boat when others were.

Ophiliah says, Except a girls excursion.

Ophiliah winks at you.

Davrion quietly asks, Aye, you were always with me. did you know of his torture at all though?

(Nawain bobs her head towards Ophiliah, a little smile playing across her features.)

Ophiliah says, Who is gonna kill who.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, Don't even j-joke about that...

You shudder.

Ophiliah says, I dont know what everyone did.  just what i was around and i did not perform any torture.

Ophiliah says, Maye have some done some ... calming.

Ophiliah casually observes the area.

You say to Ophiliah in a Rakash accent, I've t-told them that. You didn't hurt me.

Sukidesu says to you in a Shardian accent, I'm not joking, I fully believe he would have you kill me.

Davrion quietly says, I figured as much. Cambin has much to answer for.

Ophiliah says, You know theres always some mischief in me though.

Ophiliah winks at Davrion.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, I know! But... If you put words to it, he might... hear.

Davrion quietly says to Sukidesu, If he tries you will have my shield and no harm will come to you OR Nawain without getting through me first.

Davrion wraps his arms lovingly around Ophiliah, snuggling close.

Sukidesu smiles at Davrion, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I doubt he would try with you here, unless he's very very stupid.

Ophiliah snuggles up to Davrion.

Davrion quietly says to Ophiliah, As long as you weren't involved that's all I care about. I knew you wouldn't sully my honor.

Ophiliah just tickled Davrion, who laughs and returns the favor.

Ophiliah asks, Not worried about my own hnonor?

Ophiliah chuckles at Davrion.

Ophiliah sticks out her tongue at Davrion and lets loose with a loud, Thbtbtbt from her lips!

You give a half-hearted grin.

Davrion quietly asks Ophiliah, Who did I kill last for sullying your honor?

Davrion looks at Ophiliah, obviously trying not to grin.

Sukidesu sweeps the steel tanto in front of himself with a flourish, bending his knees slightly as he braces for action.

Ophiliah says, Hon ill be honest we will have a conversation later but know i am never truely innocent.  i wont deny that.

Sukidesu gazes off into the distance.

Ophiliah says, But i dont hurt people... i may stab them..  but thats not torture.

Ophiliah grins like an idiot.

Ophiliah says, I even stab you.

Ophiliah gives Davrion a good pinch!

Davrion grins at Ophiliah.

Ophiliah says, Well try.

Ophiliah snaps her fingers.

Davrion quietly says to Ophiliah, Or try damn hard anyway.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Ophiliah exclaims, Id try tripping you if you were standing!!

Ophiliah sticks out her tongue at Davrion and lets loose with a loud, Thbtbtbt from her lips!

You lean on Sukidesu.

Sukidesu leans on you.

Ophiliah says, Nawain, i have not seen you for awhile.  are you feeling better.

Davrion stands up.

Davrion hums to himself.

You wince.

Sukidesu laughs through his pain, grinning stoically.

You sigh.

You say in a Rakash accent, No.

Davrion hums to himself.

You duck your head.

Ophiliah sweeps a foot at Davrion, but completely misses his feet.

Davrion grabs hold of Ophiliah in a tight grip.

Davrion flings Ophiliah around, spinning and throwing her completely off balance.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Worse, probably.

Davrion flings Ophiliah around, spinning and throwing her completely off balance.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Ophiliah moves a wickedly edged thrusting blade dangling a blizzard-white crystalline shard to her left hand.

Ophiliah sidesteps and adjusts her footing.

Ophiliah dashes quickly at Davrion, attacking him with a palm strike!

Davrion deftly sidesteps Ophiliah's palm.

Ophiliah leans back and hoists Davrion into the air!

Davrion lands with a roll, avoiding injury from Ophiliah's suplex.

Davrion shoves Ophiliah with tremendous force, knocking her into a sprawling heap.

You exclaim to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, See? They do it all the time!

Davrion stands up.

Davrion appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Davrion quietly says, Aye, we do.

Ophiliah snuggles up to Davrion.

Davrion brushes his lips against Ophiliah's in a loving kiss.

Ophiliah says, One day mister.

Davrion quietly says, I have no doubt of that.

Davrion grins at Ophiliah.

Ophiliah snuggles up to Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I see that, dear. But the drink you were given...that's different.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Rileos tested them, remember?

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Ophiliah says, Im sorry your not feeling better.

Ophiliah says, Perhaps a fresh air sea voyage.

Sukidesu squints at Ophiliah.

Sukidesu moves over to guard you.

Ophiliah says, What?  she has her own boat.

You smile at Ophiliah.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, And she had a heck of a time even riding that.

Ophiliah snaps her fingers.

Ophiliah says, We enjoyed a few voyages together.

Sukidesu gazes at you.

Ophiliah says, Unfortunately i only had a few minutes this evening.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Listen. I just want Nawain to not be mind-controlled.

Davrion nods at Sukidesu, obviously agreeing with his views.

Davrion quietly says, NO one should have their free will taken from them.

Ophiliah says, So i need to be going my few minutes are up.

Ophiliah snuggles up to Davrion.

Davrion brushes his lips against Ophiliah's in a loving kiss.

Ophiliah just kissed Davrion.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, See? He's a good one. She is, too.

You hug Ophiliah.  A faint scent of dahlias clings to her skin.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Ophiliah hugs you.

Ophiliah says, Im not THAT good.

Ophiliah says, Dont ruin my rep.

You giggle at Ophiliah.

Sukidesu bursts out in a sudden snort of laughter.

Davrion chuckles at Ophiliah.

Ophiliah winks.

You say in a Rakash accent, We'll keep is secret.

Ophiliah laughs!

Ophiliah says, Thank goodness.

Ophiliah says, Be well all.

Ophiliah smiles at Davrion.

Ophiliah says, Night love.

Ophiliah brushes her lips against Davrion's in a loving kiss.

Sukidesu nods politely to Ophiliah.

Ophiliah raises her edged blade in a quick salute.

Ophiliah retreats from combat.

Shadow of Chaos Ophiliah wanders southwest.

(Nawain's shoulders sag, just a little.)

Davrion quietly says, One day she WILL get me with that pigsticker of hers.

Davrion chuckles.

You chuckle at Davrion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It'll be a surprise.

Davrion pets the white guinea-pig.

Davrion quietly says, 1v1 most people don't have much of a chance but she'll get there eventually.

You quietly say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, I did it, right? I... spoke the right t-truth to the right person. And maybe I can get better.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Sukidesu says to you in a Shardian accent, You did, you did well.

You lean on Sukidesu.

Sukidesu leans on you.

Davrion pats you on the back.

Davrion quietly says to you, Once Cambin and I are before the pack for judgement I hope it will bring the closure you need.

You exclaim to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Oh! I... I nearly forgot, and it's so much more important!

Sukidesu glances at a white guinea-pig.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Snow really likes Davrion.

The white guinea-pig squeaks, I do!

Davrion pets the white guinea-pig.

You say to Davrion in a Rakash accent, Rileos, he... he promised me he would investigate the Baron. And he *didn't*. He *isn't*. I'm so sorry, I... I really thought he would help us.

Davrion quietly says, The feeling is mutual, seems to bring a calm i am usually lacking.

Davrion quietly says, I was afraid of that.

Davrion quietly says, As I mentioned before he IS one of the Baron's lackeys in the watch.

(Nawain frowns a little belligerently at that. He's not a lackey...)

You notice a white guinea-pig rub against Davrion for a moment.

Davrion quietly says, For his sake I hope he stays out of my way when I take the Baron's head. I WILL have my vengeance and justice.

Davrion pets the white guinea-pig.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

You nod to Davrion.

You say in a Rakash accent, I'll... I'll see what I can do. On my own.

You frown.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

You quietly say in a Rakash accent, I didn't join the Inquisition so I could sit on my hands and watch someone else refuse to do what must be done.

Davrion quietly says, Just be careful. he like all nobles is ruthless and inscrutible when he feels his power is at risk.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Just don't get yourself locked in a dungeon. That's all I ask.

You nod to Davrion.

Davrion nods at Sukidesu, obviously agreeing with his views.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, If there're any -ddungeons involved, I'll stay near Ophiliah and Davrion. They can get out.

Sukidesu grins at you, his dimples flashing into view.

You notice a white guinea-pig rub against Davrion for a moment.

Davrion quietly says to you, I failed to protect you once. I never make the same mistake twice.

You gaze at Davrion.

Sukidesu pats you on the back.

Teavira stands up.

You notice as a white guinea-pig squeaks with excitement, for no apparent reason.

Teavira stretches her arms.

Davrion pets the white guinea-pig.

Davrion quietly says, Was a pleasure meeting both of you. hopefully next time will be under better circumstances.

Davrion bows to Teavira.

(Nawain looks about to say things several times, but just closes her mouth with a click and hugs the big paladin instead.)

Davrion bows to Sukidesu.

Teavira nods politely to Davrion.

You hug Davrion.  A faint scent of vanilla clings to his skin.

Briefly dropping down to one knee, Sukidesu plants the steel tanto on one end before himself and steeples his hands over the other end, bowing his head in silent reverence.

Davrion hugs you.

Davrion sweeps a glimmering helm surmounted by a radiant crown of icesteel off his head and in front of him in a large arc, fluidly stepping backward and bowing to you at the same time.

Davrion quietly says, I shall you all to your discusions and plans.

You bow to Davrion.

Sukidesu pivots in Davrion's direction and salutes him with his steel tanto, bringing the weapon downwards in a precise, fluid movement.

Davrion raises his hand in a quick salute.

You wave to Davrion.

Davrion waves.

Knight of Chaos Davrion strides southwest.

Teavira waves.

Teavira serenely asks in a Prydaenese accent, Shall we go back up?

You nod.

[Zoluren Royal Mews, Training Field] (170012)

Another practice area opens up, with the scent of fresh grass and the smell of horses in sharp contrast to the fragrant roses planted against a nearby brick wall.  Wooden barrels and fences provide the perfect opportunity for practicing jumps and turns.

You also see a white guinea-pig that is sitting and an oak tree strung with garlands of thistle and amber-hued gaethzen orbs.

Also here: Doctor of Kittens Sukidesu who is surrounded by six playful cats bounding around and Merchant Marine Teavira.

Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

Room Number: 7621

You pull an oak tree's ladder release rope out from its hiding place.

You pull the release rope attached to an oak tree, lowering a ladder from above.

Teavira climbs up into the heights of an oak tree.

You stand back up.

You climb up into the heights of an oak tree.

[Nawain's Home]

A grimwood table with pedestal carved as a leafless tree and a circular glass tabletop caught in the branches of a sculpted metal tree with some stuff on it rest upon the silverwood floor of this tidy workshop.  A basalt fireplace embellished with moss agates, with an ayabere herb basket with a large moon coral button hanging above it, burns from its resting place at the edge of the moss-green rug covering the silverwood floor.  Tapestry walls enclose the area, holding in its strong smell of eghmok potion.  You also see a huge silverbirch-framed window inset with moss-green glass, a door, a mossy-green cushion of fine silk, a large black shadowbark apothecary's cabinet inlaid with fanciful kiralan herbs with some stuff on it and a bewhiskered ash grey Musparan dog.

Also here: Merchant Marine Teavira.

Obvious exits: none

Sukidesu climbs in through the door.

Sukidesu closes the door.

Sukidesu rattles the handle of the door.

You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Feel a little better?

You nod.

Sukidesu hugs you, and you wrap your arms around him with a warm smile.

Your heart continues its slow, steady rhythm.

You say to Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, Gods, Suki.... I feel... I feel like h-half of me is... is safe, finally. And... and half of me is t-terrified for vr... for him.

Sukidesu nods to you.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I'm not surprised...you're at war with your own mind. It's understandable you'd feel both of those ways.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, I hate this. I hate this. You're going to get hurt, and it's b-because I was worried about someone else's... honor.

(Nawain sighs, scrubbing her hand across her face.)

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You say in a Rakash accent, Thank you for.. for letting me tell him.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Sukidesu nods to you.

You say in a Rakash accent, I.. It was eating at me. I knew he made promises.

Sukidesu pulls you to him in a tight hug.

You say in a Rakash accent, And that... that he didn't know they were broken before I even left the ship.

You sigh.

You hug Sukidesu who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile.  A faint scent of fresh herbs clings to his skin.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, I'm sorry if I was a little harsh, but I felt if I didn't say something, you would have kept tiptoeing around it.

You nod.

You say in a Rakash accent, Well, I... would have told him some other way.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Like...a letter?

You say in a Rakash accent, No, I mean...

Sukidesu cocks his head.

You say in a Rakash accent, He understands pain.

You sigh.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Well, anyway, it didn't have to go that way.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, All went well.

You nod.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Days are starting to blur together... were you doing meditiation before or after Cambin came back?

Sukidesu gazes upward.

You say in a Rakash accent, Before.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, When he came back...did you stop?

Sukidesu ponders.

You give a slight nod.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Maybe that's it, then...you should go back to meditating...I think it was helping before.

You hear your mental voice echo to Cambin, *mournfully* I've ruined everything. Davrion even... He understood, when I.. When I told him you taught me to free myself. Despite pain, or fear.

Sukidesu asks in a Shardian accent, Aaand I know you won't like my suggestion, but when meditating, maybe turn off your gweth?

Sukidesu gazes at you.

You wince.

You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It's hard to meditate when people are in your head. People multiple. Not just him.

You nod in agreement.

Sukidesu leans on you.

Sukidesu nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.

You pull out another cushion.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, It's been a long day.

You pull out another cushion.

You pull out another cushion.

Sukidesu sits down on a mossy-green cushion of fine silk.

You yank Sukidesu's cushion out from underneath him!

You giggle.

You duck your head.

Sukidesu thrashes around on the ground.

You sit down on a mossy-green cushion of fine silk.

Sukidesu sits up.

Sukidesu starts nagging you unmercifully.

(Nawain gazes at Suki with an innocent expression, barely hiding a grin.)

Sukidesu smirks at you.

Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, Sleep well, dear. I'll be right here next to you.

You nod.

You lie down on the cushion.

Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.
