Session

===Coifare Talks to Their Cousin

Calar Brescia: Ah cousin, so glad I ran into you. Shame about the big feast.

Calar Brescia: I had heard they were finally going to bring out the good wine

Coifárë: I'm sorry?

Coifárë: will look up from their painting.

Calar Brescia: Events have been called off tonight... for reasons I guess

Coifárë: frowns.

Calar Brescia: shrugs

Coifárë: Yes, because people died, Calar.

Coifárë: I assume the Amathalises felt it would be in poor taste to feast tonight.

Calar Brescia: Yes, yes, there was death... let their souls travel to their deserved place in the heavens

Calar Brescia: The only real reason I showed up to this...gathering... was for the final event

Coifárë: Oh? And to what were you looking forward?

Calar Brescia: To shower these folks with the blessing of my presence, in the one event worthy of my attention

Calar Brescia: and now its all a waste

Calar Brescia: at least you got to... doodle?

Calar Brescia: gestures to the painting

Coifárë: sighs at that.

Coifárë: I've had some opportunity to paint, yes. The gardens are beautiful, and the chapel is very peaceful.

Coifárë: You haven't had a chance to, ahem, 'shower' anyone in the few days we've been here?

Coifárë: I would have thought the baths made for an easy opportunity make an impression.

Calar Brescia: still trying to drag me down to your level I see

Calar Brescia: I attended the baths, as appropriate for one of my standard, and have met with those who were deserved of my attention

Coifárë: I've no idea what you could possibly mean, but I've made quite a few pleasant acquaintances since we arrived.

Coifárë: Oh? Anyone of which your grandmother would approve?

Calar Brescia: So now you take an interest in family affairs... away from whatever other affairs you were up to these past few days?

Coifárë: You know I only follow my heart, at the behest of our lord of Arvandor. .

Coifárë: And, as our family stands in his stead on Arth, my service to them is service to our House.

Coifárë: says in a saccharinely sweet voice.

Calar Brescia: yes, it is service. Although when it comes to service, while always appreciated, some are just more valuable than others, wouldn't you agree?

Coifárë: Some may have larger or smaller parts to play, perhaps, but all service is valuable. I think there's an Erathin parable to that end that's escaping me at the moment.

Coifárë: Something about striving to be tools of the gods, and I'm sure you are indeed a very important tool, dear cousin.

Calar Brescia: smirks

Calar Brescia: Just as your service remains small

Coifárë: It seems to suit Corellon well enough.

Calar Brescia: looks at the painting

Narrator: (It's a view of the grounds/gardens from one of the balconies.)

Calar Brescia: I can see why you practice so much... Meletharius you are not.

Calar Brescia: give it a few decades, who knows? I might put one up in my kennel

Coifárë: Nor am I striving to be, but even a pale comparison is a compliment.

Coifárë: Oh, you honor me, to talk of hanging one of my works in your own bedchamber so.

Coifárë: I shall strive to make it worthy of the honor.

Calar Brescia: Oh, you must be thinking of yourself, sleeping with the bitches

Calar Brescia: I'm sure you hang all your artwork there already

Coifárë: I prefer different art in such situations, but it can be aesthetically pleasing.

Coifárë: Perhaps if you had the opportunity to not sleep alone, you might find it so as well, alas.

Calar Brescia: Such is my burden, so close to the throne, I must keep myself secluded, waiting for such that is deserving of my company

Calar Brescia: Sometimes I envy that you have none of that worry

Coifárë: It's certainly more companionable than your...solitude, I must admit.

Calar Brescia: but it passes quckly

Coifárë: I shall say a prayer to Sehanine that her blessings find you, cousin.

Coifárë: I'm sure the favor of a god can overcome any social...distance.

Calar Brescia: Your concern over me is refreshing cousin. Good to see you will keep me in your prayers.

Calar Brescia: I think the next time I deem to visit one of these estates, I'll have to be a squad with me, just to make sure its safe

Coifárë: Ah, of course. I suppose not everyone is able to manage with a borrowed spear or shield, and we can't have any harm coming to the heir's heir. Better safe than sorry. How did you fare during the raid?

Calar Brescia: You needn't have feared for my well being. I am more than capable of ensuring its safety. That is the concern though. If the raid had not been more haphazard, a real threat could have befallen me. I do not abide by luck avoiding such threats.

Calar Brescia: Should I have not been a priority for you? I did not see you trying to seek me out to ensure my saferty.

Gueiris: (safety)

Coifárë: To the contrary, cousin, once I saw the heir to Therma Alba to safety, I and others moved back out the grounds to find any and all who might be in danger.

Coifárë: Luckily, though we didn't find you, you seem to have found your way to safety.

Coifárë: I believe heard it was an outhouse? Something to that effect?

Calar Brescia: If you think to be amusing, I find it lacking. It's not like I would rely on you for my safety regardless

Coifárë: But upon someone, I'm sure. One of those of 'less valuable service' perhaps?

Coifárë: Be sure to thank them for their leal service, as any good prince would.

Coifárë: For the moment, however, you're blocking my light.

Calar Brescia: Alas, you make the enfeebled assumption that I hold those who serve the throne in low regard. You mistake your single perspective and make broad assertions, failing to see how singular you are.

Calar Brescia: enjoy your doodling

Calar Brescia: leaves
