Location: SFRIM Offices. Bar. Nahyeen VII, Zoar & Sons FactorySetting: The main gathering area of the Society, the bar sports plush leather couches centered around a long coffee table. Low music plays songs from around the galaxy. The soft blue lighting is easy on the eyes, but still light enough to see what you're doing and where you're going. The shelves are filled haphazardly with bottles of spirits, clearly labeled. The whiskeys shelf label has been taped over by Freya and Lucas, each bidding for ownership. There is a shelf with rum on it, with a fresh label reading 'Alexi'. Above that, is Nicoletta's shelf, with juice mixes and exotic wine, with a few bottles of absinthe here and there. Cocktail mixers and a jar of little umbrellas wrapped with a piece of tape reading 'Gottin's Dont Touch!!' is on her shelf. There is a shelf with a pair of bottles, one full of Absynth and the other full of Chocolate Irish Cream and etched "Lady Anise Tig'res of the Khanid Kingdom." A long line of bottles of Quafe are on a shelf with a "DON'T TOUCH!" sign by Rhoxy. Johanes has a shelf with brandies and cognac and a lone bottle of smurgleblaster. One shelf labeled "Lord Anderson's" has three bottles of brandy from Gallente space, along with other liquors. Another shelf labeled "Lord Tash-Murkon" has a secure black metal container with a biometric lock with a Sapidum Distillery Emblem - 'Sapidum 255' from a Khanid small batch distillery on Oris. Lunarisse's shelf has spiced wine and other vintages from around New Eden, with a few religious texts leaning against the bottles. New to her collection is one tall, elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Cream Liqueur, one tall elegant bottle with amarrian scrollwork of Chocolate Liqueur, one stout, wide bottle with amarrian scroll work of Chocolate sauce with added black tea all wrapped in a secure richly coloured, dark wood box.There are a few other shelves that hold overflow for now, waiting for new corp members to claim them.
[ 2015.05.28 01:02:57 ] Aria Jenneth > *Aria's presently curled up in a leather chair looking pretty miserable*
[ 2015.05.28 01:04:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the sleeping quarters. She is wearing her Pink Robe and Slippers and is carrying an empty cocoa mug.
[ 2015.05.28 01:06:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Aria "Hello Aria, can I get you something?" Her brow furrows slightly seeing that Aria looks pretty miserable.
[ 2015.05.28 01:07:15 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. ... Ave, Praefecta.
[ 2015.05.28 01:07:37 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm okay. *she manages a smile. Her eyes are a bit red*
[ 2015.05.28 01:08:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly as she makes her way around the bar "Lunarisse is fine in here you know." She begins to brew some hot water. She glances at Aria "You don't look ok."
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:15 ] Aria Jenneth > ... just ... *sniffle* ... sort of finished saying my ... goodbyes to Directrix Mithra.
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pours some water into a mug stirs in some cocoa. "Oh. I was suspecting that might be coming after reading the IGS..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Are you sure it's time?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:11:13 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. And ... yeah.
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:16 ] Aria Jenneth > ... there's ... still a lot more I could learn here, of ... course, but ... there's kind of a pattern of diminishing returns, and ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:21 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pours in some creme liqueur. "Well.. I can't say you didn't make it clear that this was just a sojourn. I hope you found us to be a fairly safe haven..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And friends?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:00 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. I really did.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... on both.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:27 ] Aria Jenneth > It's ... really pretty hard to go.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way to the couch and curls up.
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well, I guess am flattered by that. We will miss you."
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Where are you going next?" She sips her cocoa.
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:51 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* PYRE.
[ 2015.05.28 01:15:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote almost spills her cocoa but recovers.
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:10 ] Aria Jenneth > *gets a faintly pained expression that suggests this isn't the first time the announcement has resulted in shock*
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Aria... but Pyre has Vincent Pryce in it?" *she frowns slightly* "I remember the day you joined us you asked me to keep him out of the Lamp because you didn't feel safe"
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:44 ] Aria Jenneth > Yeah. Do you also remember the day he ... came to dinner here?
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, I remember that I permitted him in after you asked."
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:12 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I spent ... a lot of the next day fixing the wall.
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and her eyes look like she realized something. "Oh.... so that's what happened to the kitchen..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Aria... that sounds like you two had a fight?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:10 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I was hoping the patch job wasn't obvious.
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:16 ] Aria Jenneth > Not ... exactly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles softly at the prior comment "A woman knows her kitchen...but I digress". She tilts her head "What do you mean not exactly?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:19:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa, looking more serious again.
[ 2015.05.28 01:19:58 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... I explained to him why he couldn't afford to get what he wanted. That he'd end up killing both ... his mentor and me, even if he succeeded. And also that he couldn't afford to ... take revenge on the people responsible.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:12 ] Aria Jenneth > I explained why.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:33 ] Aria Jenneth > I wasn't wrong. He expressed his frustration with a frying pan.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ah.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:47 ] Aria Jenneth > Hence the dent.
[ 2015.05.28 01:21:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So you are sure he won't try.. to do something to you now?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:21:30 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... I don't think he'd touch a corpmate. And ... well ... part of the point of what I did that night ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:22:01 ] Aria Jenneth > ... was to get him thinking he doesn't ... need to re-scramble my brain to get his mentor back.
[ 2015.05.28 01:22:54 ] Aria Jenneth > ... 'cause he can do that easy, over and over again, without upsetting the Cartel or risking the original. So I had to make sure he didn't want to.
[ 2015.05.28 01:23:14 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:23:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "by making him think he doesn't... I do hope the old Aria doesn't turn up now.. I rather liked the one I've seen the past few months." She smiles wryly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:24:36 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *she shrugs* I'm not sure we were ever all that different. She was ... carrying a lot of guilt. And a lot of anger.
[ 2015.05.28 01:24:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Are you now?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:06 ] Aria Jenneth > *she shakes her head*
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good."
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although.. I am curious. Is Sir Shutaq going to insist you can't fight since you are part of the Amarr militia?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:50 ] Aria Jenneth > But I ... think I know what capsuleer dementia is, now, Lunarisse. And ... if I'm right, it means I was basically born with it.
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... doubt it. That was a term of my being a guest here.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:34 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle* And I'll sort of be going back to the Caldari.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:37 ] Aria Jenneth > Sort of.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:47 ] Aria Jenneth > ... so that objection doesn't apply.
[ 2015.05.28 01:27:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Don't let him try to raise it then. The Militia needs good pilots." *she says firmly, then asks in a quizzical voice* But.. what do you mean about capsuleer dementia?
[ 2015.05.28 01:27:51 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... *sniffle* ... one puzzle of capsuleer dementia is that it only kills empathy towards baseliners. Capsuleers ... empathize with each other fine.
[ 2015.05.28 01:28:10 ] Aria Jenneth > So it couldn't be psychopathy.
[ 2015.05.28 01:28:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa, letting Aria finish her thoughts.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:12 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... if you think about it ... human beings only can really care about around a hundred forty people at a time. That's our ... sort of ... biological limit. It's about the size of a small tribe or village.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:49 ] Aria Jenneth > Anything outside of that we can rob or kill without getting the guilt going. ... unless the limit is stretched. And that's a lot of what ... *sniffle* what civilization's about.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "There is only so much love and tears in anyone."
[ 2015.05.28 01:30:09 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods*
[ 2015.05.28 01:30:23 ] Aria Jenneth > The first job of civilization is ... well, to keep us from killing each other.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:16 ] Aria Jenneth > And it comes up with all sorts of great ways to do that, like ... common languages, national identity ... *sniffle* ... common religion's a really good one, if you don't ... mind me saying.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "All of the wayward children sought to be brougth back into the fold..." she nods at the last comment
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:52 ] Aria Jenneth > You just ... make God and his followers part of your ... 140 people.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:59 ] Aria Jenneth > And poof. You care.
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:12 ] Aria Jenneth > "His followers" is basically one person.
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:20 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And if you expand the definition as the Amarr has.. so are the those you seek to bring into the fold..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:50 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... if you stick people into a place where they grow estranged from their cultures and societies ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head.
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:23 ] Aria Jenneth > ... and you don't replace that society with a new one ... well ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:40 ] Aria Jenneth > ... if you can judge a culture's aspirations and character by its laws ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:55 ] Aria Jenneth > ... and capsuleers don't have any, like, at all. Even CONCORD's are sort of optional.
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:13 ] Aria Jenneth > We're basically in a howling wilderness with ... a few floating pockets of safety.
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Many have forgotten where they come from.."
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:53 ] Aria Jenneth > Yeah. And even those who haven't ... *sniffle* ... are mostly getting deprogrammed. They're going feral.
[ 2015.05.28 01:35:35 ] Aria Jenneth > We're not evil. We're ... the human animal. Barbarians. ... Hunter-gatherers with rail guns.
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Having.. arrived at this concusion. Do you plan to simply accept it or try to change it? forgive me, but Pyre is seen as a very mercenary group.. sort of like what you describe."
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:33 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. That's the point.
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:45 ] Aria Jenneth > I haven't decided ... what to do with this information. I haven't figured that out yet.
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says gently "Alright."
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I think the best course might be to try and get us to start developing a ... real culture. A society of our own.
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:20 ] Aria Jenneth > A civilization.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Obviously, you've seen PIE and SFRIM try to maintain the line, but I admit we are a drop in an ocean of capsuleers..." She frowns slightly pondering what Aria is saying.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:13 ] Aria Jenneth > Which is going to be really hard.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well i wish you luck on your next stage..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I confess a small part of me hoped you might make the sojourn among us permanent, but I promised not to try to actively convert you.
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:38 ] Aria Jenneth > ... in order to be listened to, if I do work it out ... I'll have to be respected.
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:55 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. And thank you for sticking by that.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:18 ] Aria Jenneth > For ... for better or worse, capsuleer society doesn't just ... respect cleverness or insight very much. Not unless there's ... cunning and strength ... backing them up.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:38 ] Aria Jenneth > Power is ... the real coin of the capsuleer. Mostly destructive power.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "I don't know, there are many ways to get respect... but I do agree that's all some of them care about."
[ 2015.05.28 01:42:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods*
[ 2015.05.28 01:42:57 ] Aria Jenneth > Especially the ... most dangerous ones.
[ 2015.05.28 01:43:29 ] Aria Jenneth > And I also know that some of those are taking an interest in me.
[ 2015.05.28 01:43:43 ] Aria Jenneth > ... which is a problem ... if I'm not someone they respect.
[ 2015.05.28 01:44:10 ] Aria Jenneth > So ... I don't know whether this'll ever turn into anything ... any more grand.
[ 2015.05.28 01:44:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. 'Remember even the small mustard seed can grow into something quite large if it lands in the right soil"
[ 2015.05.28 01:45:50 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods* I'm not ... sure this is the right soil, exactly, but ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will pray for you" She smiles wryly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... at least, maybe I can actually do ... what I set out to all those years ago.
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. if you find the going.. more difficult than you expect..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You can always visit the Lamp and here you know. Once a member of the Society, I figure there's always a place for people who leave us as friends. I'll leave your personal code active if you wish"
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "For access"
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:42 ] Aria Jenneth > *tears up a bit* Thank you. A lot.
[ 2015.05.28 01:48:36 ] Aria Jenneth > ... ... I ... wish Aldrith was so ... *the tears gather force*
[ 2015.05.28 01:48:50 ] Aria Jenneth > ... so kind about this...!
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He is a man of rigid opinions."
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:35 ] Aria Jenneth > Oh, gods ... he hates me, Luna! *this last is more or less bawled*
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *she pulls her knees up in front of her face*
[ 2015.05.28 01:50:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks visibly moved "You need to make sure you are at peace with yourself. Ignore the man"
[ 2015.05.28 01:51:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > " until he can accept you like he accepts his Caldari allies. He is holding you to a different standard"
[ 2015.05.28 01:53:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You aren't Amarr much as he.. and perhaps me.. wish you were"
[ 2015.05.28 01:53:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... but he was so kind! He was hoping I'd be something ... different ... better ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:56:24 ] Aria Jenneth > ... more ... pure ... I guess ... *she lowers her knees a little, though her cheeks are still wet (and not getting any dryer)*
[ 2015.05.28 01:56:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's face darkens. Shesays firmly "to be blunt, he has no right to make you his personal petri dish"
[ 2015.05.28 01:57:21 ] Aria Jenneth > I wasn't ... he wasn't trying to ... ... I was his hope. And now I've gone and snuffed it out.
[ 2015.05.28 01:59:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote deflates slightly. "Well.." She sighs. "I've always believed we each have our vocations (whether it be God given or otherwise) and it takes time to figure them out. One canno be a square peg in a round hole. He needs to accept you as you are."
[ 2015.05.28 02:01:17 ] Aria Jenneth > ... He says I'm not ... coming back.
[ 2015.05.28 02:01:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "... What do you mean?"
[ 2015.05.28 02:02:30 ] Aria Jenneth > *more quietly* He thinks ... that I'm going to ... walk into the abyss, and be ... evil. Forever.
[ 2015.05.28 02:03:34 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *sniffle* but if that's ... true ... I think I was already there.
[ 2015.05.28 02:03:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I..." She looks taken aback. "Everything you've said to me suggests the opposite. I didn't know your.. prior self. But you seem to have a good sense of self awareness to hold off from the edge..."
[ 2015.05.28 02:05:25 ] Aria Jenneth > ... what is the edge? ... I don't care about people, Luna. I mean ... as a group. Amarr or ... Caldari, ... or Matari, or ... anybody. Or human.
[ 2015.05.28 02:05:44 ] Aria Jenneth > ... just people I know, and ... who've been good to me.
[ 2015.05.28 02:06:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa.
[ 2015.05.28 02:06:57 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* And he was one.
[ 2015.05.28 02:08:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly. "I am sorry."
[ 2015.05.28 02:10:54 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *sniffles* Sorry....
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:03 ] Aria Jenneth > Might be obsessing just a bit.
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Are you sure you don't want some cocoa? it has some of Lady Tig'res liqueur in it"
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Give you a good night's sleep before you make your way out.."
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... i-if ... you don't mind.
[ 2015.05.28 02:12:12 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods. She looks kind of drained*
[ 2015.05.28 02:12:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slides off the couch and makes her way behind the bar. She begins to brew up a cup of hot water and retrieves the bottles.
[ 2015.05.28 02:13:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mixes up some cocoa with some of the famous chocolaye liqueur and walks over to Aria and gives her the mug.
[ 2015.05.28 02:16:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curls back into her couch spot, content to sip her mug and provide Aria company but without forcing conversation.
[ 2015.05.28 02:18:42 ] Aria Jenneth > ... thank you....
[ 2015.05.28 02:19:02 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. For ... a lot. A whole lot.
[ 2015.05.28 02:19:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "thank you as well for deciding to spend your time with Amarr with us."
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:07 ] Aria Jenneth > It's ... been wonderful. ... Things could have turned out very differently if ... I'd been elsewhere.
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:19 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm not even sure how.
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:29 ] Aria Jenneth > *she sips her cocoa*
[ 2015.05.28 02:23:10 ] Aria Jenneth > Um ... Lunarisse? Do you ... do you ever worry about ... what slavery is ... doing to the slaves?
[ 2015.05.28 02:24:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes... If it is the wrong holder or custodian it can be a disaster."
[ 2015.05.28 02:25:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I.. was glad to see the Empress's decree. I don't know if she can go beyond that any time soon though. It is such an important part of our economy - even though that shouldn't matter!"
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:09 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I ... seem to have sort of made friends with Samira Kernher.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:16 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm really worried about her.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In your time with us did you hear about how Lord Raholan got angry with me when i was a custodian of his slaves?" She breaks off.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh? She is very hard to get to know..." She smiles "lovely girl. But what do you mean?"
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:02 ] Aria Jenneth > You know that second question?
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes..
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:24 ] Aria Jenneth > The one that ... would have kept me out of SFRIM because I'd been talking to Fierach?
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ah." She nods and wrinkles her nose at the mention of Fierach.
[ 2015.05.28 02:28:39 ] Aria Jenneth > ... well ... I think she was a slave for a very long time to people who gave the same answer I did, and meant it.
[ 2015.05.28 02:29:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "It's like a child who is always told she is bad...."
[ 2015.05.28 02:30:28 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah.
[ 2015.05.28 02:30:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is such an overachiever, though. She is one of PIE's finest pilots"
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:10 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods* I ... can't ... say too much. I promised I wouldn't, but ...
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And she and I coordinated the raids on Naupliu's tower and Sleeper race. A good organizer too.."
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote trailsoff..
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:40 ] Aria Jenneth > ... if you could ... you know ... sort of give her a chance to talk to you now and then.
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:46 ] Aria Jenneth > ... maybe one day she will.
[ 2015.05.28 02:32:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "i will try,"
[ 2015.05.28 02:32:58 ] Aria Jenneth > *very quietly* I think even Heaven is turning dark, for her.
[ 2015.05.28 02:33:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2015.05.28 02:33:50 ] Aria Jenneth > A-anyhow ... um. If you could not mention that ... I asked you anything about it. Or said anything at all, really....
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I won't. But.. I'll try to see if I can talk to her. I have reason to visit Mehatoor lately as PIE has been engaging me to haul supplies"
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I understand Mr. Pryce may be relocating his cafe there..."
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:51 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I didn't know he had one.
[ 2015.05.28 02:35:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Cafe Marlinea. it is owned by he and his wife.
[ 2015.05.28 02:35:23 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods thoughtfully*
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you for sharing it me. I won't tell."
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *it with me
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:59 ] Aria Jenneth > ... thank you.
[ 2015.05.28 02:39:01 ] Aria Jenneth > *she falls quiet for the moment, sipping her (very deluxe) cocoa*
[ 2015.05.28 02:45:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *at length, she snuggles a bit lower into her chair. She seems more or less at peace*
[ 2015.05.28 01:02:57 ] Aria Jenneth > *Aria's presently curled up in a leather chair looking pretty miserable*
[ 2015.05.28 01:04:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote enters from the sleeping quarters. She is wearing her Pink Robe and Slippers and is carrying an empty cocoa mug.
[ 2015.05.28 01:06:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote glances at Aria "Hello Aria, can I get you something?" Her brow furrows slightly seeing that Aria looks pretty miserable.
[ 2015.05.28 01:07:15 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. ... Ave, Praefecta.
[ 2015.05.28 01:07:37 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm okay. *she manages a smile. Her eyes are a bit red*
[ 2015.05.28 01:08:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly as she makes her way around the bar "Lunarisse is fine in here you know." She begins to brew some hot water. She glances at Aria "You don't look ok."
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:15 ] Aria Jenneth > ... just ... *sniffle* ... sort of finished saying my ... goodbyes to Directrix Mithra.
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pours some water into a mug stirs in some cocoa. "Oh. I was suspecting that might be coming after reading the IGS..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:10:55 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Are you sure it's time?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:11:13 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. And ... yeah.
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:16 ] Aria Jenneth > ... there's ... still a lot more I could learn here, of ... course, but ... there's kind of a pattern of diminishing returns, and ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:21 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pours in some creme liqueur. "Well.. I can't say you didn't make it clear that this was just a sojourn. I hope you found us to be a fairly safe haven..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:12:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And friends?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:00 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. I really did.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... on both.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:27 ] Aria Jenneth > It's ... really pretty hard to go.
[ 2015.05.28 01:13:48 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote makes her way to the couch and curls up.
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well, I guess am flattered by that. We will miss you."
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Where are you going next?" She sips her cocoa.
[ 2015.05.28 01:14:51 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* PYRE.
[ 2015.05.28 01:15:23 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote almost spills her cocoa but recovers.
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:10 ] Aria Jenneth > *gets a faintly pained expression that suggests this isn't the first time the announcement has resulted in shock*
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Aria... but Pyre has Vincent Pryce in it?" *she frowns slightly* "I remember the day you joined us you asked me to keep him out of the Lamp because you didn't feel safe"
[ 2015.05.28 01:16:44 ] Aria Jenneth > Yeah. Do you also remember the day he ... came to dinner here?
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes, I remember that I permitted him in after you asked."
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:12 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I spent ... a lot of the next day fixing the wall.
[ 2015.05.28 01:17:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote pauses and her eyes look like she realized something. "Oh.... so that's what happened to the kitchen..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "But Aria... that sounds like you two had a fight?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:10 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I was hoping the patch job wasn't obvious.
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:16 ] Aria Jenneth > Not ... exactly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:18:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote giggles softly at the prior comment "A woman knows her kitchen...but I digress". She tilts her head "What do you mean not exactly?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:19:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa, looking more serious again.
[ 2015.05.28 01:19:58 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... I explained to him why he couldn't afford to get what he wanted. That he'd end up killing both ... his mentor and me, even if he succeeded. And also that he couldn't afford to ... take revenge on the people responsible.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:12 ] Aria Jenneth > I explained why.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:33 ] Aria Jenneth > I wasn't wrong. He expressed his frustration with a frying pan.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Ah.
[ 2015.05.28 01:20:47 ] Aria Jenneth > Hence the dent.
[ 2015.05.28 01:21:04 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "So you are sure he won't try.. to do something to you now?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:21:30 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... I don't think he'd touch a corpmate. And ... well ... part of the point of what I did that night ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:22:01 ] Aria Jenneth > ... was to get him thinking he doesn't ... need to re-scramble my brain to get his mentor back.
[ 2015.05.28 01:22:54 ] Aria Jenneth > ... 'cause he can do that easy, over and over again, without upsetting the Cartel or risking the original. So I had to make sure he didn't want to.
[ 2015.05.28 01:23:14 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:23:53 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs. "by making him think he doesn't... I do hope the old Aria doesn't turn up now.. I rather liked the one I've seen the past few months." She smiles wryly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:24:36 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *she shrugs* I'm not sure we were ever all that different. She was ... carrying a lot of guilt. And a lot of anger.
[ 2015.05.28 01:24:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Are you now?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:06 ] Aria Jenneth > *she shakes her head*
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:30 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Good."
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Although.. I am curious. Is Sir Shutaq going to insist you can't fight since you are part of the Amarr militia?"
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:50 ] Aria Jenneth > But I ... think I know what capsuleer dementia is, now, Lunarisse. And ... if I'm right, it means I was basically born with it.
[ 2015.05.28 01:25:54 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Oh?
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... doubt it. That was a term of my being a guest here.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:34 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle* And I'll sort of be going back to the Caldari.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:37 ] Aria Jenneth > Sort of.
[ 2015.05.28 01:26:47 ] Aria Jenneth > ... so that objection doesn't apply.
[ 2015.05.28 01:27:08 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Don't let him try to raise it then. The Militia needs good pilots." *she says firmly, then asks in a quizzical voice* But.. what do you mean about capsuleer dementia?
[ 2015.05.28 01:27:51 ] Aria Jenneth > Well ... *sniffle* ... one puzzle of capsuleer dementia is that it only kills empathy towards baseliners. Capsuleers ... empathize with each other fine.
[ 2015.05.28 01:28:10 ] Aria Jenneth > So it couldn't be psychopathy.
[ 2015.05.28 01:28:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa, letting Aria finish her thoughts.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:12 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... if you think about it ... human beings only can really care about around a hundred forty people at a time. That's our ... sort of ... biological limit. It's about the size of a small tribe or village.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:49 ] Aria Jenneth > Anything outside of that we can rob or kill without getting the guilt going. ... unless the limit is stretched. And that's a lot of what ... *sniffle* what civilization's about.
[ 2015.05.28 01:29:49 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "There is only so much love and tears in anyone."
[ 2015.05.28 01:30:09 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods*
[ 2015.05.28 01:30:23 ] Aria Jenneth > The first job of civilization is ... well, to keep us from killing each other.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:16 ] Aria Jenneth > And it comes up with all sorts of great ways to do that, like ... common languages, national identity ... *sniffle* ... common religion's a really good one, if you don't ... mind me saying.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "All of the wayward children sought to be brougth back into the fold..." she nods at the last comment
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:52 ] Aria Jenneth > You just ... make God and his followers part of your ... 140 people.
[ 2015.05.28 01:31:59 ] Aria Jenneth > And poof. You care.
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:12 ] Aria Jenneth > "His followers" is basically one person.
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:20 ] Aria Jenneth > *sniffle*
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And if you expand the definition as the Amarr has.. so are the those you seek to bring into the fold..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:50 ] Aria Jenneth > But ... if you stick people into a place where they grow estranged from their cultures and societies ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:32:57 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote tilts her head.
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:23 ] Aria Jenneth > ... and you don't replace that society with a new one ... well ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:40 ] Aria Jenneth > ... if you can judge a culture's aspirations and character by its laws ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:33:55 ] Aria Jenneth > ... and capsuleers don't have any, like, at all. Even CONCORD's are sort of optional.
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:13 ] Aria Jenneth > We're basically in a howling wilderness with ... a few floating pockets of safety.
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Many have forgotten where they come from.."
[ 2015.05.28 01:34:53 ] Aria Jenneth > Yeah. And even those who haven't ... *sniffle* ... are mostly getting deprogrammed. They're going feral.
[ 2015.05.28 01:35:35 ] Aria Jenneth > We're not evil. We're ... the human animal. Barbarians. ... Hunter-gatherers with rail guns.
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:17 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Having.. arrived at this concusion. Do you plan to simply accept it or try to change it? forgive me, but Pyre is seen as a very mercenary group.. sort of like what you describe."
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:33 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. That's the point.
[ 2015.05.28 01:36:45 ] Aria Jenneth > I haven't decided ... what to do with this information. I haven't figured that out yet.
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:01 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says gently "Alright."
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:06 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I think the best course might be to try and get us to start developing a ... real culture. A society of our own.
[ 2015.05.28 01:37:20 ] Aria Jenneth > A civilization.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:00 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Obviously, you've seen PIE and SFRIM try to maintain the line, but I admit we are a drop in an ocean of capsuleers..." She frowns slightly pondering what Aria is saying.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:13 ] Aria Jenneth > Which is going to be really hard.
[ 2015.05.28 01:38:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes."
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:25 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well i wish you luck on your next stage..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > I confess a small part of me hoped you might make the sojourn among us permanent, but I promised not to try to actively convert you.
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:38 ] Aria Jenneth > ... in order to be listened to, if I do work it out ... I'll have to be respected.
[ 2015.05.28 01:39:55 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah. And thank you for sticking by that.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:18 ] Aria Jenneth > For ... for better or worse, capsuleer society doesn't just ... respect cleverness or insight very much. Not unless there's ... cunning and strength ... backing them up.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:38 ] Aria Jenneth > Power is ... the real coin of the capsuleer. Mostly destructive power.
[ 2015.05.28 01:41:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says lightly "I don't know, there are many ways to get respect... but I do agree that's all some of them care about."
[ 2015.05.28 01:42:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods*
[ 2015.05.28 01:42:57 ] Aria Jenneth > Especially the ... most dangerous ones.
[ 2015.05.28 01:43:29 ] Aria Jenneth > And I also know that some of those are taking an interest in me.
[ 2015.05.28 01:43:43 ] Aria Jenneth > ... which is a problem ... if I'm not someone they respect.
[ 2015.05.28 01:44:10 ] Aria Jenneth > So ... I don't know whether this'll ever turn into anything ... any more grand.
[ 2015.05.28 01:44:35 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote nods slightly. 'Remember even the small mustard seed can grow into something quite large if it lands in the right soil"
[ 2015.05.28 01:45:50 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *nods* I'm not ... sure this is the right soil, exactly, but ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I will pray for you" She smiles wryly.
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:14 ] Aria Jenneth > ... at least, maybe I can actually do ... what I set out to all those years ago.
[ 2015.05.28 01:46:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Well.. if you find the going.. more difficult than you expect..."
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You can always visit the Lamp and here you know. Once a member of the Society, I figure there's always a place for people who leave us as friends. I'll leave your personal code active if you wish"
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:19 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "For access"
[ 2015.05.28 01:47:42 ] Aria Jenneth > *tears up a bit* Thank you. A lot.
[ 2015.05.28 01:48:36 ] Aria Jenneth > ... ... I ... wish Aldrith was so ... *the tears gather force*
[ 2015.05.28 01:48:50 ] Aria Jenneth > ... so kind about this...!
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:28 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "He is a man of rigid opinions."
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:32 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sighs.
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:35 ] Aria Jenneth > Oh, gods ... he hates me, Luna! *this last is more or less bawled*
[ 2015.05.28 01:49:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *she pulls her knees up in front of her face*
[ 2015.05.28 01:50:43 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote looks visibly moved "You need to make sure you are at peace with yourself. Ignore the man"
[ 2015.05.28 01:51:05 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > " until he can accept you like he accepts his Caldari allies. He is holding you to a different standard"
[ 2015.05.28 01:53:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "You aren't Amarr much as he.. and perhaps me.. wish you were"
[ 2015.05.28 01:53:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... but he was so kind! He was hoping I'd be something ... different ... better ...
[ 2015.05.28 01:56:24 ] Aria Jenneth > ... more ... pure ... I guess ... *she lowers her knees a little, though her cheeks are still wet (and not getting any dryer)*
[ 2015.05.28 01:56:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote's face darkens. Shesays firmly "to be blunt, he has no right to make you his personal petri dish"
[ 2015.05.28 01:57:21 ] Aria Jenneth > I wasn't ... he wasn't trying to ... ... I was his hope. And now I've gone and snuffed it out.
[ 2015.05.28 01:59:20 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote deflates slightly. "Well.." She sighs. "I've always believed we each have our vocations (whether it be God given or otherwise) and it takes time to figure them out. One canno be a square peg in a round hole. He needs to accept you as you are."
[ 2015.05.28 02:01:17 ] Aria Jenneth > ... He says I'm not ... coming back.
[ 2015.05.28 02:01:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "... What do you mean?"
[ 2015.05.28 02:02:30 ] Aria Jenneth > *more quietly* He thinks ... that I'm going to ... walk into the abyss, and be ... evil. Forever.
[ 2015.05.28 02:03:34 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *sniffle* but if that's ... true ... I think I was already there.
[ 2015.05.28 02:03:56 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I..." She looks taken aback. "Everything you've said to me suggests the opposite. I didn't know your.. prior self. But you seem to have a good sense of self awareness to hold off from the edge..."
[ 2015.05.28 02:05:25 ] Aria Jenneth > ... what is the edge? ... I don't care about people, Luna. I mean ... as a group. Amarr or ... Caldari, ... or Matari, or ... anybody. Or human.
[ 2015.05.28 02:05:44 ] Aria Jenneth > ... just people I know, and ... who've been good to me.
[ 2015.05.28 02:06:42 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote sips her cocoa.
[ 2015.05.28 02:06:57 ] Aria Jenneth > *quietly* And he was one.
[ 2015.05.28 02:08:45 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly. "I am sorry."
[ 2015.05.28 02:10:54 ] Aria Jenneth > ... *sniffles* Sorry....
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:03 ] Aria Jenneth > Might be obsessing just a bit.
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:29 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says "Are you sure you don't want some cocoa? it has some of Lady Tig'res liqueur in it"
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:47 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Give you a good night's sleep before you make your way out.."
[ 2015.05.28 02:11:49 ] Aria Jenneth > ... i-if ... you don't mind.
[ 2015.05.28 02:12:12 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods. She looks kind of drained*
[ 2015.05.28 02:12:31 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote slides off the couch and makes her way behind the bar. She begins to brew up a cup of hot water and retrieves the bottles.
[ 2015.05.28 02:13:46 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote mixes up some cocoa with some of the famous chocolaye liqueur and walks over to Aria and gives her the mug.
[ 2015.05.28 02:16:50 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote curls back into her couch spot, content to sip her mug and provide Aria company but without forcing conversation.
[ 2015.05.28 02:18:42 ] Aria Jenneth > ... thank you....
[ 2015.05.28 02:19:02 ] Aria Jenneth > ... um. For ... a lot. A whole lot.
[ 2015.05.28 02:19:24 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote smiles. "thank you as well for deciding to spend your time with Amarr with us."
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:07 ] Aria Jenneth > It's ... been wonderful. ... Things could have turned out very differently if ... I'd been elsewhere.
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:19 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm not even sure how.
[ 2015.05.28 02:22:29 ] Aria Jenneth > *she sips her cocoa*
[ 2015.05.28 02:23:10 ] Aria Jenneth > Um ... Lunarisse? Do you ... do you ever worry about ... what slavery is ... doing to the slaves?
[ 2015.05.28 02:24:44 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Yes... If it is the wrong holder or custodian it can be a disaster."
[ 2015.05.28 02:25:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I.. was glad to see the Empress's decree. I don't know if she can go beyond that any time soon though. It is such an important part of our economy - even though that shouldn't matter!"
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:09 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I ... seem to have sort of made friends with Samira Kernher.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:16 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I'm really worried about her.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:18 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "In your time with us did you hear about how Lord Raholan got angry with me when i was a custodian of his slaves?" She breaks off.
[ 2015.05.28 02:26:34 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Oh? She is very hard to get to know..." She smiles "lovely girl. But what do you mean?"
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:02 ] Aria Jenneth > You know that second question?
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:12 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Yes..
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:24 ] Aria Jenneth > The one that ... would have kept me out of SFRIM because I'd been talking to Fierach?
[ 2015.05.28 02:27:52 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Ah." She nods and wrinkles her nose at the mention of Fierach.
[ 2015.05.28 02:28:39 ] Aria Jenneth > ... well ... I think she was a slave for a very long time to people who gave the same answer I did, and meant it.
[ 2015.05.28 02:29:03 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says softly "It's like a child who is always told she is bad...."
[ 2015.05.28 02:30:28 ] Aria Jenneth > ... yeah.
[ 2015.05.28 02:30:51 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "She is such an overachiever, though. She is one of PIE's finest pilots"
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:10 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods* I ... can't ... say too much. I promised I wouldn't, but ...
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:13 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "And she and I coordinated the raids on Naupliu's tower and Sleeper race. A good organizer too.."
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:16 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote trailsoff..
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:40 ] Aria Jenneth > ... if you could ... you know ... sort of give her a chance to talk to you now and then.
[ 2015.05.28 02:31:46 ] Aria Jenneth > ... maybe one day she will.
[ 2015.05.28 02:32:21 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote says quietly "i will try,"
[ 2015.05.28 02:32:58 ] Aria Jenneth > *very quietly* I think even Heaven is turning dark, for her.
[ 2015.05.28 02:33:39 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > /emote frowns.
[ 2015.05.28 02:33:50 ] Aria Jenneth > A-anyhow ... um. If you could not mention that ... I asked you anything about it. Or said anything at all, really....
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:14 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I won't. But.. I'll try to see if I can talk to her. I have reason to visit Mehatoor lately as PIE has been engaging me to haul supplies"
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "I understand Mr. Pryce may be relocating his cafe there..."
[ 2015.05.28 02:34:51 ] Aria Jenneth > ... I didn't know he had one.
[ 2015.05.28 02:35:07 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > Cafe Marlinea. it is owned by he and his wife.
[ 2015.05.28 02:35:23 ] Aria Jenneth > *nods thoughtfully*
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:33 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > "Thank you for sharing it me. I won't tell."
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:36 ] Lunarisse Aspenstar > *it with me
[ 2015.05.28 02:37:59 ] Aria Jenneth > ... thank you.
[ 2015.05.28 02:39:01 ] Aria Jenneth > *she falls quiet for the moment, sipping her (very deluxe) cocoa*
[ 2015.05.28 02:45:48 ] Aria Jenneth > *at length, she snuggles a bit lower into her chair. She seems more or less at peace*
