Last post for now, folks... I am
really tied up with RL [img]tongue.gif[/img]
IC>>>
Dalben
His onyx black eyes meet those of his questioners, and he shakes his head somewhat sympathetically at the group ~ "I know, tis hard for you to cope with this tale..." ~ Jerks his head towards Eliza ~ "... especially that one there."
Holding his quarterstaff with both hands, he continues in a more urgent tone ~ "Yes, the thieves are heading this way and more from Cedric's men will swarm around us if we tarry." ~ Gesturing for the group to start moving ~ "As for your question, m'lady..." ~ Muttering as they now proceed briskly on their way ~ "... no, now is not the right time to bring Elena back to the throne... besides..." ~ Glancing at the apprehensive Sorsha ~ "... she might not like it there... who knows? The decision is ultimately hers."
Sorsha
Stumbling on blindly, her mind protests against further thought, though the guilt engulfing her soul is getting quite unbearable ~ They may all die... because of me... ~ Hastily, she brushes her hands against her watery eyes and tries to keep up with the group.
Eliza
This twist of Fate is surely a mockery of all the simplicity of life I had thought I was surrounded by... ~ Lips tightly pressed, she ignores all attempts at conversation directed at her, her face stony in expression ~ Seems that I'll have to take each step as it comes... ~ Angrily plucks a twig off a bush and hurls it vehemently onto the soft earth.
Isaura
She alternates between staring at him and at her shoes, her icy hands quite frozen and immobile ~ What should I say?... What should I do?... ~ Her mind is completely blank as she feels the gaze of Raymond and the stammering comforts her a little.
OOC>>> Okay, roleplay for me, I am off for now...
