Lyulfe closed his eyes and said softly <font color="darkseagreen">"Things are not always what they seem..."</font>

He opened his eyes again and gave Plaxica a wry smile, as if aware of his feelings about elves. <font color="darkseagreen">"I'm sure Skye would be more than willing to help. However, she is currently trying to convince the Captain to let her try and keep the poison under control in Mormegil and the wizard... if the Captain waits any longer to decide, it may be too late."</font>

<font color="red"> "I'll go and see the captain and ask Skye about this. Karthias you'll stay here?" </font>

<font color=orchid>Rong Er

Her eyeballs stirred under the eyelids, and gradually, her body shifted, turning to rest on the left and her right hand rising to cover her right ear. The momentary silence of the room was punctuated by a gentle snore.</font>

Plaxica just stepped out of the room when the full meaning of what Lyulfe had said struck him. <font color="red"> "How did the wizard get poisoned?" </font>

<font color=#00FF00> karthias
"yeh thats fine Plaxica, Il wait and see if she wakes up"

And with that Plaxica had left the room. Karthias paced up and down the small space impatiently. He needed this to hurry up, he needed Mormegil to pull through! He was so anxious he nearly didnt notice the shift in Rong Er's posture.

"Hey you"he called" do you realise what you've done!? Get up! NOW! And save this blessed guy before he passes away, and do you realise that you have almost killed someone else aswell with your stupid "game!" I dont like you, I dont like you one bit, so do this now or I may be forced to take action!!" <font>

<font color=orchid>Rong Er

As first it had been an irritating buzz of the mosquitoes, hovering about her ear and threatening to sting her but never quite doing so. She ignored it, hazarding the stings, if only she could continue to sleep on unmolested.

But the "NOW!" that so violently shook the bed thundered in her ears, sending her jolting up and glancing about, her dreamy eyes drawing daggers at the sight of Karthias and her ears taking in the outpour of his words. Annoyance, regret, pensiveness and something else crashed upon her face like tidal waves, upon a pale sandy shore.

"I don't like you either." ~ She spoke bluntly but in measurable tones, eyeing him keenly ~ "And I don't follow the dictates of people I dislike. If you kill me, two others will die with me and my father, avenging me, will slay another lot of you. Quite a fair exchange, I would say."</font>

<font color=#00FF00> "what so you intend to just stand by, and let these two innocent people die, just because of some foolish memory of yours, I think you've lost the plot! Do you really think it will gain you anything? I guarantee that if you let them die then you will be killed in a most painful way! Now are you gona do something or shall I have to force you? "
</font>

<font color=orchid>She glared at him, her jaw muscles tightening ~ "Don't forget that it was Mormegil that insulted my father first! You may choose to let someone slight your kinsmen, but that is not my style." ~ There was a slight sneer to her voice as she continued ~ "As for that other interfering fool, he saw what I was capable of, and tried to drown me. Are you saying that I should allow myself to die without a fight?"

Shaking her head, she went on ~ "I've already said that I don't take to threats kindly. If you want me to save those two, they'll have to apologise to me first."</font>

Plaxica heard the high voices of Karthias and Rong Er from the room and he went back into the room just as Rong Er finished speaking. <font color="red"> I've just spoken with Skye and she said that those two are in no position to apologize. Both of them are fighting a losing fight against the poison. Now I do agree that what Mormegil had said to you was not totally OK, but then I don't exactly know his past history too well. Now look here, I agree with you that threats aren't going to go anywhere with you. But since I saved your life out there I think you do owe me something, and I would just like to ask you to tell us what the antidote is. I'm sure that any court would convict you for attempted murder, but if you cooperate I think people could be talked into not pressing those matters. Now just please be reasonable. What do you gain by withholding the antidote, except further troubles for yourself." </font>

ooc- dplax, I would have appreciated if you had actually asked my character (Skye) first before saying that you did, but it's okay. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Skye- *kicks the Captain* wake up!! :(

ic- Meanwhile, Lyulfe was rubbing his temples furiously and sighing, his eyes closed and his face tilted towards the deck as the verbal tennis-match continued. Finally the stalwart elf could take the barrage no longer.
<font color="darkseagreen">"Please."</font> He spoke the word forcefully yet softly, causing the other three to acknowledge his presence with surprise. <font color="darkseagreen">"Please leave, Plaxica, Karthias. I need to speak to Rong Er alone. If you are worried about your two comrades, perhaps you could help Skye convince the Captain faster, to allow her to help slow the poison."</font> The elf continued to look piercingly at the floor as he waited for a reply.
