Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Not much has changed I see (Said to Katrien about her clothes)
Kaitlyn Kellen: Katrien: Better then it was, at least.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I wonder where she gets it in her mind that those colors actually go together
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Katrien: *shrugs and offers a healthy chortle*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *glances out the window* Katrien?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well.. is she in at the moment?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I take that as a yes
Kaitlyn Kellen: Katrien: *thumbs up*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks up towards the window, hearing Kaitlyn*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Are you calling me, Katrien?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh!
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Oh!
Kaitlyn Kellen: *inclines her head graciously*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *covers her eyes quickly*
Kaitlyn Kellen: How nice to see you.
Kaitlyn Kellen: *gives Katrien a sharp look for not rising*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Are you alright?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You do well to stand out in a crowd but surely a common occurance as well to hurt
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: those with sensitive eyes
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks down in confusion*
Kaitlyn Kellen: This is the dullest outfit I have
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its a *whispers* sundress
Kaitlyn Kellen: Won't you come in?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Will I get sick?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh no!
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You sure?
Kaitlyn Kellen: It was all redone..its dull dull in there now truly
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods and nods* boring......drab...humble
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: For some reason I doubt it
Kaitlyn Kellen: Truly you'll be shocked
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll prepare myself beforehand..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *keeps her hand over her eyes*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *opens the door for her*
Kaitlyn Kellen: You can uncover now
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *peeks through a sliver between two fingers*
Kaitlyn Kellen: See?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Ohhhh!
Kaitlyn Kellen: *grimaces*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I know..i'm sorry
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No no!
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: This is wonderful
Kaitlyn Kellen: But everyone agreed and chipped in and did it while I was gone
Kaitlyn Kellen: *eyes her*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Truly you don't have to be polite
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I love the dark purple with the tan.. very nice combination
Kaitlyn Kellen: you like....tan?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well.. not for me to wear
Kaitlyn Kellen: *fights the keep the horrified look off her face*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: But to look at it's alright
Kaitlyn Kellen: I suppose..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *murmurs politely*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Would you like a seat?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Who did this.. I must commend them
Kaitlyn Kellen: Telakh did. One week when I was out of town
Kaitlyn Kellen: He said it was a surprise
Kaitlyn Kellen: *weak smiles*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll remember that
Kaitlyn Kellen: It was
Kaitlyn Kellen: He did my home in Lindor too..and the clinic
Kaitlyn Kellen: They are prettier..but still sedately colored
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ah well...what do men know?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Tis easier on the eyes
Kaitlyn Kellen: *murmurs politely* Mmmmhmmm
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I think I have a headache forming from your dress though..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Never the less..
Kaitlyn Kellen: this old thing?
Kaitlyn Kellen: I can change...
Kaitlyn Kellen: I'm sure I have something.....even less....appealing
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Uh.. no that's not necessary... if what you said is true
Kaitlyn Kellen: It won't take me a moment
Kaitlyn Kellen: I could take off the bonnet maybe?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *slips it off*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: That was the lesser of the three
Kaitlyn Kellen: Shoes?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *kicks off*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Don't worry about it
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh I don't mind
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll recover from the pain soon enough
Kaitlyn Kellen: So long as you don't expect me to take the dress off too and sit around..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *pauses..then just chuckles goofily*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head several times*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Did you wish to sit?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm fine
Ethan Alkalai: *knocks*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Though there's someone at the door
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ah well then
Kaitlyn Kellen: Pardon me one moment
Ethan Alkalai: *grins*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh hello Ethan
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles* how are you doing ?
Ethan Alkalai: *has a broad grin on his face though he does where the lenses*
Ethan Alkalai: Quite well!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Of of course you know our Queen
Ethan Alkalai: I've found these *points at the lenses* To be quite useful
Kaitlyn Kellen: *gestures to her*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *watches the figure at the door, arms rising to fold*
Ethan Alkalai: *bows low a moment and lays his halberd by the door*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan Alkalai...Majesty
Ethan Alkalai: Pardon me if I'm interrupting
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Another one?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *rubs her forehead*
Ethan Alkalai: *laughs* nothiing like my brother I assure you
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well we're just needing to talk a moment..
Ethan Alkalai: Then I won't take long
Ethan Alkalai: I just have two things to share
Ethan Alkalai: The first
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seems to be pointedly avoiding looking at Kaitlyn*
Ethan Alkalai: My absence the next few days
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh you will be away?
Ethan Alkalai: I will be leading patrols along the border and scouting parties into the Badlands
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *furrows her brows a bit*
Ethan Alkalai: A curtesy of my own funds I assure you
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods* Please be extra careful, Ethan
Ethan Alkalai: and the second is a thank you to Miss Kellen
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh?
Kaitlyn Kellen: For what?
Ethan Alkalai: To which has been formed into a gift
Ethan Alkalai: *holds up a hand as he retreives a cloth package with the other one*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles, looking curiously to him*
Ethan Alkalai: I was on my way north when I happened by a small ruin of a building
Ethan Alkalai: Sort of all grown over
Ethan Alkalai: Didn't look to be inhabited so I decided to investigate
Ethan Alkalai: I found *pulls out a golen chalice*
Ethan Alkalai: This
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks at it with great interest* My goodness
Kaitlyn Kellen: How very unique...
Ethan Alkalai: Upon cleaning it a bit I found ingraved on one side in obsidian the name
Ethan Alkalai: Kellen
Ethan Alkalai: *shows it to her*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *frowns as she leans in*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow, watching silently*
Kaitlyn Kellen: How extrodinary
Ethan Alkalai: I figure myself that it may be a chalice of very early origin in your family
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan I don't know what to say. It is indeed our name
Ethan Alkalai: *pulls off his lenses and cowl*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its amazing..
Ethan Alkalai: *takes the clothe the chalice had been wrapped in to wipe the blood from his eyes*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I will have to send word back home and ask about this
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thank you so much for bringing it to me.
Ethan Alkalai: *nods* Of course
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *sniffs the air a bit, looking over Ethan curiously*
Ethan Alkalai: *grins slightly*
Ethan Alkalai: I hoped you'd like it when I found it
Kaitlyn Kellen: *very carefully wraps it up before setting it away*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I will treasure it. You will have to show me sometime where you found it, please?
Ethan Alkalai: I felt like I was traspassing a bit when I realized it might be an old family
Ethan Alkalai: property
Ethan Alkalai: *nods* of course m'lady
Kaitlyn Kellen: thank you Ethan..*smiles warmly*
Ethan Alkalai: *pulls a bit at his waterproof vest*
Ethan Alkalai: I've also an apology to make
Ethan Alkalai: About the dinner with the Society
Kaitlyn Kellen: No..its alright
Ethan Alkalai: *looks down* It was not my place to warn them
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan, you meant well
Ethan Alkalai: *nods slowly* of course, and they did seem awfully well to it
Ethan Alkalai: Anyways
Ethan Alkalai: There was mention of sea traffic trouble?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *murmurs noncomittally*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye..I will ask Xander about it later on
Ethan Alkalai: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *glances to Aislinn a moment..then back*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I will let you know what I learn
Ethan Alkalai: Tell them I'd be happy to lend my expertise in sailing
Ethan Alkalai: *nods and bows*
Ethan Alkalai: Good day m'lady
Kaitlyn Kellen: Be safe and thank you again
Ethan Alkalai: *salutes the queen once*
Ethan Alkalai: *picks up his halberd while replacing the lenses and hood*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Father protect him.
Kaitlyn Kellen: *murmurs..then turns back*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I beg your pardon
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Warn them of what?
Kaitlyn Kellen: You sure you don't wish to sit?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well...its a long story..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm sure you can do well to sum it up
Kaitlyn Kellen: I could...
Kaitlyn Kellen: If you really wanted me to?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Shall we sit?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *shifting from foot to foot*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You can if you like
Kaitlyn Kellen: I cant if you stand
Kaitlyn Kellen: I'm fine though
Kaitlyn Kellen: You mentioned something about trouble in Bishani?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And I asked of what warning was given to this Xander
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh yes of course..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well..this was something I was going to write a report on and give to you
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its my idea..I didnt involve the town
Kaitlyn Kellen: Though they did sort of show up but that was just to help me
Kaitlyn Kellen: Though I didnt need help!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Everytime someone shows up they think i'm going to get murdered or carried off
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: This isn't summing it up
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its like how did I survive...
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh...oh
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well the written report would have been more succinct
Kaitlyn Kellen: But let see..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I care not to read a novel
Kaitlyn Kellen: There is this new group whose been arranging
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh no I condense when I write
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its more of an outline then a novel..so to speak
Kaitlyn Kellen: I edit better when I write then when I talk
Kaitlyn Kellen: I am shy though
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Kellen: Yes Ma'am
Kaitlyn Kellen: The group
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Sit down
Kaitlyn Kellen: They
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: and breathe or something
Kaitlyn Kellen: *whews and sits*
Kaitlyn Kellen: thank you
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: now.. go on
Kaitlyn Kellen: I contacted the Leader of this group who'd been making large donations to many
Kaitlyn Kellen: of our people and those from other towns. To thank him and also because
Kaitlyn Kellen: frankly I was curious.
Kaitlyn Kellen: He wrote back..and invited me to come meet and talk to him at the Charity Hall
Kaitlyn Kellen: they built in Tindrea
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks rather pleased with herself for having gotten all that in so well*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I met him..
Kaitlyn Kellen: And a few friends came with me..oh and the Sultan Jalii!
Kaitlyn Kellen: And we spoke and met Krieg who is another one in his group
Kaitlyn Kellen: Doyle didnt warn me about him just Xander
Kaitlyn Kellen: Who is handsome!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Krieg was charming, some men are just born with it I swear
Kaitlyn Kellen: So we had dinner and talked and I looked at the log books on their records
Kaitlyn Kellen: because they made me..
Kaitlyn Kellen: And they asked for volunteers to help guard their caravans
Kaitlyn Kellen: And I offered to assist in a more personal way
Kaitlyn Kellen: And they accepted..so after what Doyle said I figured why not be smart and learn from
Kaitlyn Kellen: within
Kaitlyn Kellen: Though its a secret group and a brotherhood so I cant really be one..which is fine
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thats where it stands now!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Truly there is not much to it.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What did Doyle say?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods *
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well you know he is a bit...well..
Kaitlyn Kellen: he's not real trusting and he said that he thought he remembered Xander from
Kaitlyn Kellen: some time back and the memories were not all that good.
Kaitlyn Kellen: And he said that this group could be just a front for some thieves
Kaitlyn Kellen: And he warned me but then thats him.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly*
Kaitlyn Kellen: He thinks I'd walk blindly into a brothel after all and pass out scrolls of salvation
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So what was it that Ethan warned them of?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well..Ethan ...
Kaitlyn Kellen: He has this tendancy to sort of say things he shouldn't
Kaitlyn Kellen: He told them to be wary of traitors within their group
Kaitlyn Kellen: Which offended them..but we smoothed it down so I think its fine.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Traitors in their group? Why would he say that?
Kaitlyn Kellen: The record books were detailed..they have huge sums...
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks up again* I have no idea
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Alright.. and what of the Jillhani?
Kaitlyn Kellen: He did the same thing with the Jillhani
Kaitlyn Kellen: I apologized
Kaitlyn Kellen: What?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *winces*
Kaitlyn Kellen: oh that..
Kaitlyn Kellen: WEll I cleared that up..I all but groveled
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Who did what to who
Kaitlyn Kellen: I dragged him out and we talked and talked...and I apologized to them
Kaitlyn Kellen: whom?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *blushes*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well you want the long version or the short?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You talk fairly fast so I suspect the long version might be short..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles at the obvious compliment*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thank you Majesty..I do try
Kaitlyn Kellen: Alright then *takes a deep breath then exhales out *
Kaitlyn Kellen: We were watching the spars...Ethan and I had volunteered to judge the Craft contest
Kaitlyn Kellen: and the festival so we were there to work but then afterwords we went down to
Kaitlyn Kellen: watch the battles. A young lady was fighting this huge ogre lord..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I was talking to the Sultan..He is such a nice man!
Kaitlyn Kellen: He's always gracious and charming. I spoke to Fang too but he's hard to talk to
Kaitlyn Kellen: Stubborn as a mule though polite.
Kaitlyn Kellen: I'll get back to that part.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well as were standing there..the young girl fighting stumbled..and the Ogre stomped
Kaitlyn Kellen: towards the spectators, the gate door flew open and Ethan immediately grabbed a
Kaitlyn Kellen: weapon, I grabbed the Sultan to pull him behind me...Ethan charged the beast.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Up til that part its all good..aye?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Aside of the dishonor it likely placed upon the woman.. or something similar I suspect
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well yes....but..it got worse.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan continued to battle him, even entering into the ring where the girl was
Kaitlyn Kellen: and slashing away at the Ogre.
Kaitlyn Kellen: It was then that those in the town took offense..which truly I understand perfectly
Kaitlyn Kellen: and words were exchanged between them and Ethan.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan argued back til I nudged him..and told him to go cool off.
Kaitlyn Kellen: I then apologized to each one there who was upsest.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Humbly apologized *still looks pained in some ways*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan came back..and again I took him in hand and made him come here where we
Kaitlyn Kellen: talked at length .
Kaitlyn Kellen: Later he went back he said and apologized after we talked. And then I went to Fang
Kaitlyn Kellen: himself and offered a gift I'd crafted and once more told him how sorry we were.
Kaitlyn Kellen: To which he replied something to the affect that our people were like children
Kaitlyn Kellen: and needed discipline..
Kaitlyn Kellen: To which I responded something to the affect that our people were caring and
Kaitlyn Kellen: compassionate and full of honor as well..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Though graciously!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thus I think it's settled. I groveled...apologized..gave gifts and listened
Kaitlyn Kellen: I think its settled..*looks concerned by hopeful*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ethan meant well he was just a bit overzealous
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I explained that to them.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I actually am in quite a bit of agreeance with the Jillhani
Kaitlyn Kellen: I also requested that Fang and I talk more...to best understand each race
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods slightly* Yes..I know Majesty
Kaitlyn Kellen: I do as well..*sighs*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And that's where I come in..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I will go back again and speak to them
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I will be travelling to Bishani in a few days..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Truly...
Kaitlyn Kellen: Majesty ...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I already planned to before I heard of this..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: It has been a long time since I've spoken with Lord Koma
Kaitlyn Kellen: I was there..tis my place to do the apologizing not yours
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I am not going there to apologize
Kaitlyn Kellen: No?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Then to better our relations?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thats exactly what i've been doing
Kaitlyn Kellen: And its working to a point I think.
Kaitlyn Kellen: I would like to go with you and assist in this if I may?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I think I have a bit more of a pull in political positioning
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye indeed...I'm just good at gracious diplomacy..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't intend for anyone to go with me
Kaitlyn Kellen: *notes the shaking head*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Alone?
Kaitlyn Kellen: You are going to go alone?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Tis how I approached the Zuberi
Kaitlyn Kellen: *rises*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *thinks of many reasons why she shouldnt't*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I ..see
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: One of the Jillhani already know I'm coming..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods ever so slightly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If she tells the Emperor, so be it.. if not, then so be it as well
Kaitlyn Kellen: Perhaps..as a secretary to keep notes...
Kaitlyn Kellen: I mean..you are the Chil'en'atar
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If I see you before I intend to leave, then I'll think about it
Kaitlyn Kellen: What if they are not respectful enough
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye....*nods and has to accept that for now*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: One condition
Kaitlyn Kellen: I think two women coming there would be even less fearful then one
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks up again* Wear something dull?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't want to be a target
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods firmly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Or near one for that matter
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh flesh covered?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thats a great idea!
Kaitlyn Kellen: Though actually
Kaitlyn Kellen: If i'm the target then you are not which is a good thing
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Let me put it this way
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't want to draw attention to myself
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I hate crowds
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ah...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And the less people I find near the Emperor the bette
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *r
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods firmly..completely understanding that*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I will have it ready then if needed
Kaitlyn Kellen: I know how to dress down..down
Kaitlyn Kellen: I wore a heavy cloak and wide hat and boots when Doyle took me to..
Kaitlyn Kellen: took me..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Dull..nondescript
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Yes
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Took you?
Kaitlyn Kellen: I can do that
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh just took me for a walk
Kaitlyn Kellen: I know how to blend in when I have to
Kaitlyn Kellen: We went looking in Fendahl for a slaver once and you should have seen my
Kaitlyn Kellen: outfit..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well I hope you can wear black since that is what most of the Jillhani wear
Kaitlyn Kellen: Tarty..
Kaitlyn Kellen: but I blended in
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye..black and voluminous
Kaitlyn Kellen: Shall I make you one too?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No.. I have mine.. I use it often
Kaitlyn Kellen: You know what I learned though?
Kaitlyn Kellen: You have to be careful of your..*lowers her voice* scent...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smirks*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes.. that you do
Kaitlyn Kellen: Even if you look like a fat old hag, if they smell perfume they are curious
Kaitlyn Kellen: Uh huh...been there done that *makes a face*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Would you like me to make something for you to give the Emperor?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye
Kaitlyn Kellen: You know...
Kaitlyn Kellen: If that Ogre had come closer then I would be dead now
Kaitlyn Kellen: So they really can't complain too much..their warriors did not react as swiftly
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I doubt that
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well..yes I know ...
Kaitlyn Kellen: But still if it had been some small child there
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What would a small child be doing at a fight such as that?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Katrien: *growls back at her*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well some people do take their children places
Kaitlyn Kellen: Even young young ones.....like say Doyles...little girl
Kaitlyn Kellen: *tugs on her sash*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *cants her head slightly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You sure talk about him a lot
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks over to the flowers* Hmmm
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh well he stops by and talks a bit...
Kaitlyn Kellen: *glances over to her from lowered lashes*
Kaitlyn Kellen: I think maybe he misses some ...things...here.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Things?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Mmmhmmm...maybe some..thing he was fond of ..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Who knows with such men..*waves a hand around*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Such as?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Such as..*echos dumbly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Apparently you know more than you are letting on
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh no..I never know anything really
Kaitlyn Kellen: I just feel...sometimes
Kaitlyn Kellen: But feelings arent facts
Kaitlyn Kellen: Unless you are Alistar *smiles a bit*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I am close enough..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I am more then ever now
Kaitlyn Kellen: But tis not my business..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lifts her arm to tap a nail at the crescent moon tiara on her head*
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods...*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Maybe you two could talk sometime then
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So tell me why it is you speak of Doyle so much..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I did ask if he would bring his daughter to town sometime
Kaitlyn Kellen: Majesty
Kaitlyn Kellen: *lowers her voice* I went there...
Kaitlyn Kellen: *tones hushed in horror* it was ghastly...horrible
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Where?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Lethe?
Kaitlyn Kellen: and those children are just running in the filth and the bodies
Kaitlyn Kellen: *softly* aye
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Why would you go there?
Kaitlyn Kellen: They had no doctors at all..
Kaitlyn Kellen: The children are sick..dying..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I went heavily disguised and no one knows but me and Doyle..and you now
Kaitlyn Kellen: They need a doctor..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Do not get sucked into the darkness that is Lethe
Kaitlyn Kellen: rats running free across dead bodies...*closes her eyes* it was horrible
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well i'm not..but how can we do nothing when those innocent ones are exposed
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No matter how much doctoring you give them, it is doubtful it will help
Kaitlyn Kellen: such inhumane
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its awful
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: They don't have to stay there Kaitlyn
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods..seeing the truth in her words but still feeling as if she should do more*
Kaitlyn Kellen: The children do though
Kaitlyn Kellen: Babies...just crawling through the filth
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Lethe is not my area
Kaitlyn Kellen: Women just thrown down and passed around..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye..I do this all on my own..i do not involved the city at all
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Nor is it yours
Kaitlyn Kellen: I can't go there..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Not alone..even I know that
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'd prefer you not go there at all
Kaitlyn Kellen: But I thought maybe I could send some basic supplies
Kaitlyn Kellen: I dont plan on going back, especially not alone
Kaitlyn Kellen: I wouldnt last and I know that.
Kaitlyn Kellen: But I did want to send some things..just from me
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh!
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Those that live there could put the effort in to clean it up, instead they rot
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks up* Oh and that group..The Black..Oath Charity group sends supplies there too
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Let them do it then
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its odd though
Kaitlyn Kellen: They have free passage even through the Mages part
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *reaches for her bonnet then realizes its not there and her hand falls to her side*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Ma'am?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh so I can go with them there..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thats all
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gives her a flat look*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *eyes her steadily, not sure why she would feel guilty but figuring she must *
Kaitlyn Kellen: So I will handle that part...without involving the city at all
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You will involve the city if something happens to you
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And I'd rather not have to deal with Lethe as well as everything else
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh I didnt think of it that way
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well in that case to avoid any possible trouble for our people, I will set that
Kaitlyn Kellen: aside for now?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods firmly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Since you seem to be so friendly with Doyle..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If you want to send supplies and the like to Lethe, make him do it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smirks faintly*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Actually..I'm not but I will
Kaitlyn Kellen: He despises me..of course
Kaitlyn Kellen: But yes I will.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Doubtful if he keeps coming here
Kaitlyn Kellen: I dont think its me.....he's coming to see
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And who is he? Katrien?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't see anyone else here
Kaitlyn Kellen: Katrien has a boyfriend..he's a sailor named Gomez
Kaitlyn Kellen: He only has one eye but Katrien thinks he's manly...go figure women huh?
Kaitlyn Kellen: And actually...he did mention your name once or twice...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The details of her personal life aren't my concern
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh i'm sorry I thought you were concerened about her dating Doyle?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Beg pardon
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm wondering who he would possibly be coming here to see if not you
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well..actually
Kaitlyn Kellen: He mentioned just the other night that he thought you
Kaitlyn Kellen: would be returning soon
Kaitlyn Kellen: He seemed animated actually with that idea
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *shrugs helplessly*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well he did
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: That still doesn't answer my question
Kaitlyn Kellen: I'm sorry I forgot the question?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Who could he be coming here to see if not you
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well I can't be certain...*looks up again, meeting her gaze* but I believe its you
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: But I rarely come here
Kaitlyn Kellen: Lady Aislinn..it's you he wants to see.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *almost seems to want to laugh*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *lets out a deep sigh, having picked up on more then the usual feelings coming
Kaitlyn Kellen: from each..for each*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: This is about the second time I've come here.. so that still sounds fishy
Kaitlyn Kellen: Not here..here..but to this town
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its what keeps drawing him back
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Ahh... well that is different then
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I thought you meant to this building
Kaitlyn Kellen: *looks down again* no...no
Kaitlyn Kellen: I meant Telrae
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well perhaps a bit of Alistar is rubbing off on you after all
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smiles*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I have business to tend to and plans to make for my trip to Bishani
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods slightly and then looks up and smiles a bit..then a little more*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Please keep me informed of the going ons that I might be concerned with
Kaitlyn Kellen: If needed I will be ready at once...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Which is just about anything
Kaitlyn Kellen: of course I will...anything at all
Kaitlyn Kellen: Shall I send reports?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Or tell you in person?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Either way is fine
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye *smiles*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Whichever comes first I suppose
Kaitlyn Kellen: Of course
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *fingers.. not.. working....*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Please.....just...take care
Kaitlyn Kellen: *could say a lot more but holds back*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I will be sure to..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *reaches out to open the door and steps forward though pauses*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *inclines her head graciously*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks back to her, leaning slightly to do so*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *raises her head and meets her gaze*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If what you say is true.. that he's looking for me.. What do you think of that?
Kaitlyn Kellen: *without hesitation* There is nothing more pure then true love
Kaitlyn Kellen: Anything else can be worked out.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps.. but considering the situation
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its complicated, but not impossible.
Kaitlyn Kellen: Love is our Fathers greatest gift..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its up to us to appreciate it and make it work
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps I might have to wait to find out after Father relieves me of this path
Kaitlyn Kellen: Perhaps..or the path may allow for a shift in the road
Kaitlyn Kellen: Whatever happens, don't deny this gift he gives us.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Let's say figuratively that this you speak of could actually be possible
Kaitlyn Kellen: *softly* Aye?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Don't you think the city would not much agree with it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Considering who he is
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: what.. he is
Kaitlyn Kellen: Oh no indeed..they would pitch a hissy fit and grab the tar and feathers...at least
Kaitlyn Kellen: at first
Kaitlyn Kellen: But you have to be true to your heart. There is a reason you feel this and him too.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: For awhile there he was the cities number one focus of negativity
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye...it would not be easy by any stretch of the imagination, nor safe..
Kaitlyn Kellen: But you're two highly intelligent people , if you cant work it out and make them
Kaitlyn Kellen: listen..who could?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I am only one person
Kaitlyn Kellen: as is he
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And after all the years of knowing him
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I know he will not sway from his chosen path
Kaitlyn Kellen: He thinks he won't ..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Oh I've tried.. many times..
Kaitlyn Kellen: But with the realization of love things change.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: He won't change it.. not even for me.. I know this..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So what is the point
Kaitlyn Kellen: Because with love their is hope.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Hmm..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Been holding onto that excuse for many years now..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Its a true gift to love that way. Not that many do.
Kaitlyn Kellen: I think what it would take is committment
Kaitlyn Kellen: Perhaps now the timing is right for you both
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Alistar spoke of this, didn't he
Kaitlyn Kellen: You would be a true family then, that does change a man
Kaitlyn Kellen: Briefly...
Kaitlyn Kellen: What I feel though came from Doyle himself.
Kaitlyn Kellen: When he heard you were on your way back, he was giddy...for him at least
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles a bit at that memory*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Maybe you can Alistar could speak of this..in detail
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I have spoken to him of it briefly before I left
Kaitlyn Kellen: And perhaps Doyle could speak to him too, or the three of you
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Can't keep anything from that man
Kaitlyn Kellen: *makes a face* I know
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: But he advised me against it
Kaitlyn Kellen: Of course he did
Kaitlyn Kellen: Any rational person would
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lowers her gaze*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Or anyone who didn't know the power of true love and had complete faith in it.
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles a bit*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Things weren't like this then..
Kaitlyn Kellen: But the timing was wrong then?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I guess...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: He didn't wait for me..
Kaitlyn Kellen: he was younger...less wise in the ways of life
Kaitlyn Kellen: he feels that awful loss still from then
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'd say he's not much better now
Kaitlyn Kellen: You have to know he feels that.
Kaitlyn Kellen: He's different...
Kaitlyn Kellen: But the part of him you love is still there.
Kaitlyn Kellen: You may be the only one besides his daughter who can reach that part and free it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You know what is the worst part of all this..
Kaitlyn Kellen: What?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I feel like a child lost in the woods..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *steps in closer* thats the gift and curse of love..
Kaitlyn Kellen: You cant appreciate one without the other perhaps.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The bad part about it is..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I wan't to let myself feel it.. to be consumed.. but this position I am in brings up the
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: fear that some might think lesser of me for it.. and start acting stupid
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Or should I say more stupid than they already do
Kaitlyn Kellen: There will always be those who think we are stupid no matter what we do
Kaitlyn Kellen: or that as foolish women we were lured by men who cast spells over us
Kaitlyn Kellen: That will happen but it doesnt touch the real us..what lives inside..us
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No but I don't think that is a price I can afford right now
Kaitlyn Kellen: You may not be ready for it yet..thats okay
Kaitlyn Kellen: In time you might be. When you feel its worth it all and the risks you know it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Oh it is something I want more than anything else.. or wanted anyway..
Kaitlyn Kellen: will entail.
Kaitlyn Kellen: You deserve happiness, Aislinn. You deserve the love you want.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Deserve, perhaps..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Father knows I've waited long..
Kaitlyn Kellen: yes, He does know.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Doesn't mean I can have it.. not in this case
Kaitlyn Kellen: I think it means it won't be given to you
Kaitlyn Kellen: You'd have to get it on your own, maybe.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The problem isn't between us..
Kaitlyn Kellen: its with , them.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The problem is me
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes, them..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods slightly*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: This was part of the reason why I've been gone so long..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs and looks as if she's getting ready to leave again*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I've said more than I should have..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Maybe you're getting more ready all the time
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nod respectfully* nothing will be shared ..ever.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Would be nice having someone to speak of such things aside of he who reads my mind
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles a bit*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: But tis a touchy subject
Kaitlyn Kellen: I know...but we are both women..we feel things deeply
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If it were anyone else, it might be different
Kaitlyn Kellen: I'm, safe.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't mean you
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye....almost anyone but him
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Almost
Kaitlyn Kellen: There might be a few that would raise more eyebrows I suppose
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I think he takes the cake in the well known bad reputation department
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well yeah ..it's pretty bad.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And then would come the questioning of what I would do if he is the one that screws
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: up to the point I have to do something abou tit
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *about it
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye that scenario could happen
Kaitlyn Kellen: As could others..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: that one is the one that sticks out most in my mind
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Since I really don't know what I would do
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Or could do, for that matter..
Kaitlyn Kellen: How can you have all those answers yet?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: How could I have that answer at all
Kaitlyn Kellen: You have to trust in yourself to do the right thing. And why wouldnt you?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Could you sentence the one person you truely love to their death regardless of how
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: deserved it might be?
Kaitlyn Kellen: No
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: There in lies the problem
Kaitlyn Kellen: I would find a way to avoid that..dodge it..whatever I had to do
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes and then the people start looking to you instead of him for protecting him
Kaitlyn Kellen: You can worry about any eventuality
Kaitlyn Kellen: This worries you most of all I know.
Kaitlyn Kellen: But trust in yourself to find that answer when and if you ever need it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps Father will be kind enough to relieve me of this position
Kaitlyn Kellen: I am sure he will answer your prayers
Kaitlyn Kellen: In his wisdom as whats best for you
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: That is what worries me also
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Father exhiled him..
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye he did
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I doubt he'd find it in my best interest
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aislinn
Kaitlyn Kellen: our Father doesnt give up on those he sends to exhile
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I know
Kaitlyn Kellen: If He still sees their value what does it matter if no one else but you do?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: It wouldn't matter if I wasn't Queen
Kaitlyn Kellen: A Queen is still a woman.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: True.. But one that needs to 'rule' justly and fairly..
Kaitlyn Kellen: As you do. And as you will continue to do no matter what
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose all I can do is hope that he doesn't do anything stupid
Kaitlyn Kellen: Perhaps you should talk to him about that?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: heh
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Already have
Kaitlyn Kellen: Then do so again..and again
Kaitlyn Kellen: Men are not always the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to picking on
Kaitlyn Kellen: some important issues.
Kaitlyn Kellen: When he brings his daughter here, you two should go off and talk..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Maybe even go out of town , and spend some time together.
Kaitlyn Kellen: I really think you need to talk, again.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I will
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods..*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I should go now.. before I get to rambling
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles a bit* I think you heard enough of my ramblings,
Kaitlyn Kellen: You deserve to share yours with me. Whenever you like.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps.. but I sound like a love sick puppy and its pathetic.. I almost disgust myself
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: at times..
Kaitlyn Kellen: To me you sound like a woman who loves deeply, there is nothing pathetic
Kaitlyn Kellen: about that. Just very very real.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: To you it might not sound as such.. but to me it does
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well its always easier when its someone else
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Don't see how you can stand it.. I'd of been dyin by now
Kaitlyn Kellen: *smiles a bit* Love is beautiful
Kaitlyn Kellen: Even complicated, fearful..love. Its still a gift.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: How long have you known..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well I felt something when I first met you...
Kaitlyn Kellen: And Alistar ...without going into details he told me abit.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What'd he say
Kaitlyn Kellen: But it wasnt until Doyle spoke of it that i knew for sure
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well you know how things are with Amber..and her ex...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No.. not really
Kaitlyn Kellen: He said something about Harvest weddings?
Kaitlyn Kellen: Might be best in this case too?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I can't say I know what that is
Kaitlyn Kellen: Or he might have meant us..who knows...*shrugs*
Kaitlyn Kellen: You marry for a year then both are free...
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Neither of us seek marriage..
Kaitlyn Kellen: No?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I don't find it necessary
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well it wasnt for sure until Doyle mentioned it..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What all did he say aside of being 'giddy'.. in his own way
Kaitlyn Kellen: Well you know Doyle is a man of few..few words..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Kaitlyn Kellen: But he did say after I asked him about the giddy-ness..that his feelings for you
Kaitlyn Kellen: were deep and yours for him the same..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Thats it
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly in thought*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I wasn't aware that he was speaking of it to others..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I dont think he meant to
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I.. don't mind really..
Kaitlyn Kellen: *shrugs* people tend to do that to me..maybe its to shut me up?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Could be
Kaitlyn Kellen: *nods sagely*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What of Anouk?
Kaitlyn Kellen: He never said a word about her..I assume she was out of town or something?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Typical
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: There is so much more to all of it than you think..
Kaitlyn Kellen: Aye?
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Part of me wants to tell you if for no other reason than to get it off my shoulders..
Kaitlyn Kellen: If you would like to, please do
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And while it's not your fault.. its the other side that is untrusting of pretty much
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: everyone
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Atleast when it comes to my personal affairs..
Kaitlyn Kellen: I respect your feelings and I understand them. Tis up to you of course.
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The damage is already done I suppose.. figuratively speaking.. perhaps in the coming
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: days I'll find it in me to speak of it all.. though for now I need to seclude myself
Kaitlyn Kellen: Be safe...I will be here
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods*
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll try
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *moves forward finally and steps out the door, closing it behind herself*
Kaitlyn Kellen: aye..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lifts her gaze skyward and sighs deeply*
Kaitlyn Kellen: *lets out a deep breath and sends a blessing after her*
Kaitlyn Kellen: Father keep her safe..
Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gaze lowers then a moment later before finally moving awy to hide in Tyr*
