"Either the danger is now or he is living the memory." Elaine mumbled, more to herself than anyone else when the baron struck out and hit his daughter. She could not surpress a gasp, quickly moving with Rowena towards the confused man and the dazed Alicia. "Someone please help her up....

Elaine surpressed the urge to walk out again. It was so crowded in this little space! All the voices, all the needs, all the intentions! Not all of them would grieve if the Baron did not live... The blind woman nodded at Rowena, listening carefully to her words. "Well met, lady, my name is Elai...

She did not want to go. She did not want to add more to the pile of not understanding. She did not want to fail again. Please just say no...just say no. Tell us he needs no help. For once let someone else take the lead. It was a thought unworthy of the Mother's tool she strove so hard to be, yet the...

"True, true, too many would drown out the necessary as well..." Is that it? Is it too much or too little? Gods, I wish I could just think clearly! I need to help Selderine! There's no time to loose myself. I have been in the mind of a demon. I have fought death over the Caesar's life. I ha...

"Because of it?" Elaine pondered. "No, I think Selderine has simply nudged king Balthazar to build here, calling a city home, so to speak...clearly the walls were already here, even if it was just from memory at first." She reacted to Ulder's navigation, trusting him to steer the...

Elaine nodded, meanwhile taking in the scents of the faire. Somewhere something tingled on the back of her tongue already, waiting to be sampled. Her stomach reacted and started to growl softly, demanding immediate satisfaction. It was not uncommon to have her attention in two places at the same tim...

Elaine's frown deepened. This was a worrisome continuance of the talk she'd had with Draydis before. "So he is still seeking consolidation or perhaps even confirmation outside of who he is. It sounds much like the talk I've had with the man. Hrm...not a pleasant thought to see such a worthy man...

"Your behaviour?" Elaine blinked her eyes. "Oh goodness, Ulder, don't be silly! Things come as they come. You hardly went out looking for it. I was the one wishing to go to the fortuneteller." She squeezed his arm. "No blaming yourself, you hear? I was just trying to puzzle ...

Elaine and Ulder left the tent, the conversation clearly at an end. There were customers here who wanted a 'true' future read instead of the sudden -and potentially dangerous- subjects they had touched upon. A frown drew her eyebrows together as the blind woman reflected upon the talk. Now why did I...

Just like that she was out of the conversation. Curious how people can do that. Elaine pondered. Of course it was her own problem for not getting up to date with recent events any more than it touched her own little quest. Yet she could not escape the feeling that it might be better if Torc and Ulde...

Elaine shook her head. The fortuneteller was easily swayed into revealing more than just his fortunes. She was not entirely sure if his answer was what Ulder had been hoping for, but at least it showed an openness and honesty that her husband appreciated, that she knew. "My question was one I w...

It wasn't exactly that she had been fooling herself, nor had it anything to do with a particular distrust or even a touch of paranoia after their experiences in the political games of the Citadel. Yet Elaine could not escape the notion that although the answer was as frivolous as could be expected f...

ooc Yeay! Torc as bonus! ic Elaine squeezed Ulder's hand. "Well, she was right in a way....you did get quite the name, and not just because of that tournament back in the Citadel." She laughed at the picture her husband painted. Meanwhile inside some woman was being told the usual. Of cou...

"A fortuneteller?" Elaine could not help but laugh. It was such a strange idea to actually go to a festival. The last one had brought her husband a winner's title, together with a good amount of trouble. Perhaps this time a bit of music and laughter would bring some diversity to the though...

Late Chyril It was a double edged sword, to be in a completely new place with it's own unique set of problems, so Elaine quickly found out. On the one hand it was quite refreshing to be out of the insane political game without having to worry about skulking powers in the corridors. On the other han...

Elaine sat up straight, shocked by the sudden change in voice. Yet it touched Blackbird's story in such a way that there was little choice but to respond. "To know it's memories is to know the pain. Share this pain so it can be healed. Share this pain so w...I might understand." Almost. Al...

Elaine tapped her way up to the songmaker and nodded at Craghley. "If you could direct me to a chair?" She asked him softly, following his lead. Kaelara's description of Seth went through her mind. Craghley seemed to suggest already that this man too belonged with the past. Yet did every m...

*hugs* You're a sweetheart.
Let me know if it's too much of a bother though, I don't play for the skills anyway

Have lotsa fun!

Unfortunately it's rather hard to write a recesspost when I have no clue where my thread will go. So I guess I'll just skip on skill advancement and write a summary later instead of a half-guessed-possibly-impossible recess now.

Elaine stood in doubt for a moment, caught between the hypnotic song and Kaelara's sudden urgency. The blind woman wondered if she should go with the shopkeeper, for whatever it was that had been whispered in her ear, it had clearly rattled her. Yet the longing song ended and words were spoken that ...

ooc Continuing as per agreement with Guido and Craghley ic Craghley's question was a good one and frankly, in Elaine's mind there was no doubt after Kaelara's insistance to go see this man, he'd prove to be interesting at the least. The song breathed a dream to the blind bard, one of old memories a...

Perhaps Kaelara had not meant it that way, but her warning sent a jolt through Elaine's system. All too well did she remember the violation of her mind by the blackness that had haunted the Citadel. In a reflex the young Achadhiel sought refuge in her self-created shields of roots and branches, calm...

ooc Let's move then ic Even while they were getting ready to move to Annuir more pieces of the puzzle kept falling into place. It was amazing to see how the city was working as a whole to bring people and facts to one final conclusion. Yet we still have to see what that conclusion will be . Elaine f...

ooc rounding off is fine ic Elaine had a little trouble focussing on the world around her, yet Kaelara's words came through. "Harshly? With help and healers so readily available? I'd count any city lucky with your presence." She put on a smile and took the offered hand. There was nothing m...

All the strength and faith in the world was not enough to keep this man alive. Elaine knew it as soon as the healer set to work. A choice would have to be made and in all honesty, she believed that the healer had made the right one. It would have been no life to live in a nightmare forever, to be st...
