OOC>> Mistral, he's going to post for Sir Bors, today, he says. I think that he was waiting for you to say something, but he'll imagine you standing there looking shy while Lady Galadria is talking.

OOC>>> Hmm, I thought Legolas was alright with time, actually, but I could be mistaken [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] And thanks for the clarification, Galadria

I'm off to bed, though [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img] Another long day awaits [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]

IC>>>
Isaura

She could feel her breath quickening under Sir Bors' scrutiny. Nervously, she reached to twirl a lock of her honey-coloured hair, wondering why she was having this moment of weakness when her life depended now upon this latest quest.

It's all that I have left...

Or was it, truly?

Attalus · 09-15-2002, 11:03 AM

SIR BORS (Looks appreciatively at the lovely girl) "Well, Princess Isaura, I can assure you of the Order's support in this matter. Tell Lord Amroth that his supply trains shall be free of the Pass, and that I shall speak to the factor that I know he deals with to assure him of this. But, tell him that he should double the guards on his convoys, for that will be a place that Jonathan may well think to strike. Princess, you should visit as many of the disaffected nobles as you can. And, Lady Galadria tells me that you have a sister. Do not neglect to use her in this, for, if she is as fair as you, think of what a rallying symbol it would be, the two beautiful princesses fighting for their father's throne. You would gain adherants from all over the land, and, I doubt not, volunteers from others, once the bards get ahold of this tale." (turns to Lady Galadria) "Galadria, you shoud meet with Blondin, the head of the Bard's Guild, here in Tarashia. I assure you that he would like the tale and have a song for it within the day."

Galadria · 09-15-2002, 11:15 AM

LADY GALADRIA "Indeed, my Lord, I was going to suggest to the Princess just that. Isaura, think what an effect that would have. Come on, we are going to see this Blondin. At the Bridge Embattled, my Lord? Just so. My best duty to you, good day." (After saluting, they leave)

Jonathan

As she stirred in her sleep, he turned to place an arm over her lovely shoulder, only to have it shaken off irritably. What was it that she was murmuring in her dreams?

Was it his name, or another's?

He could feel the flames scorching his heart, smouldering it with deadly fumes but try as he might, he could not shut his eyes against the mocking reality. Quietly, he eased himself up, resting against the panel of the bed. His eyes bore holes against Natasha's back as she continued to giggle softly in innocent slumber.

You had better be true to me, my lovely... or I'll... ~ His clenched fists shook with indignation, then opened. His fingers reached towards her nape and closed round them...

"What is it, my love?" ~ That soothing submissive tone. It drove him wild to think, who was this love?!

Yet he knew that he had brought this to himself, at the end of the day. He had no one else to blame. It was all for the glory of the kingdom, for power and riches.

Grunting, he lowered himself into the bed once more, knowing he would continue to have these restless nights for the rest of his life...

mistral4543 · 09-15-2002, 09:19 PM

Isaura

She briskly follows the pink-armoured paladin, panting slightly in her haste ~ "My lady, I am most grateful to Sir Bors for his unconditional support..." ~ Here, she hesitates a little ~ "... yet I find I have no heart to draw Sorsha back to this business. A business she has no interest in, and could perhaps, prove sordid." ~ Sorsha. The only kin I have left in the world; how could I not care for you? ~ "I shall try to rally the people on my own and contest this Jonathan without her involvement. I hope this is not too displeasing to you?"

Galadria · 09-15-2002, 10:53 PM

LADY GALADRIA(She strides through the streets of Tarashia. People make way for her, for a large, armored figure with a scowl on her face, such as she now habitually bears, with a very long sword at her side, is intimidating at the best of times.) "Not at all, Isaura, we shall work with what we can. But, Sir Bors is a politician, to his fingertips. He knows well what will fire the young and restless to desert their plow and join your banner. Certainly, you are made for drawing the romantic young, but I cannot but agree that two would be better." (She shrugs) "Ill not worry about it, for the past is past, the future unmade, and all a woman can do is strive her utmost in the present. Ah, here we are." She pauses before the door of a handsome inn, with the designated sign. They plunge into the crowd listening to a spare, elderly but still spry, man, wearing a beret and rather longish curled hair. This was the famous Blondin, the Chief Harper of the Guild in Tarashia.)

Attalus · 09-16-2002, 09:29 AM

BLONDIN (A harpist very apt to his trade, he at once notices the two women who join the crowd. Both blonde and beautiful, that would be reason enough to notice them. But, one slight and lovely in a slyphlike way, with a scar on her cheek, whose glance darted back and forth anxiously between himself and the taller woman. This one was an impressive figure indeed, at least six feet tall, wearing armor that even in the dim tavern glowed with a pinkish cast. Her eyes, at least, were fixed on his face, and the full mouth was set in a scowl. Her whitish-blonde hair was cut short and looked unkempt, in contrast to her companion's carefully-maintained waves of honey-colored hair. He sensed that she was only waiting for him to finish his song, so he strung it out in a few more arpeggios. Let her stew a bit. There was a song in this, or he was no bard.)

mistral4543 · 09-16-2002, 07:23 PM

Isaura

She allowed herself to be swept away by the tragic strains of music, her eyes almost stinging from the beauty of it all. For a moment, she could feel herself relenting, but a silent snort from Galadria sufficed to draw her back to reality.

I must not fail...

And so, biting her lips, she stood up, her glittering eyes scanning the room to study the captivated audience. Surely this man held them in some trance! For there was no mistaking the looks of admiration in their wistful eyes. Now...

If only I could get him to aid my cause...

With a strange courage, then, she advanced towards the harper and curtseyed deeply before him before turning to the audience ~ "I do beg your pardon, everyone." ~ Struggling to keep her voice even ~ "I should be most grateful if you could lend me an ear."
