Valeska: Aldern smiles and looks at you. "Yes. I'd like that very much. My estate is about a 3 day's journey easy of Silverhall on the main road." After your kiss, he is flustered and tries to maintain composure. He takes your hand and kisses it. "Goodbye, Valeska. Until we meet again."
Valeska:
"I cannot thank you enough. there, there little one. A child is something I always wanted. I will take him home with me. Since the uh.. weather is not suitable for a hunt, I expect I'll return to my estate within the week. Peitros' speech is soon.. we should get going." -------------- Peitros smiles at Areanna's enthusiasm. "There there Areanna, I know you are eager to go... I just have to have Justice Ironbriar to sign off on these new charters. It is a formality, but required. To hasten the process, I have requested an injunction for your cases to retroactively be enabled should you leave in one week and your charters be delayed. I'll know in two days time of the status of my request." He addresses everyone, "Now to the matter of supplies...I hope Ser Bregan has told you of the generous supplies we'll be providing you for service. Horses, tents, a reasonable amount of food, rope, papers, ink, maps, journals...This is a one time supply. It will be difficult to re-supply on your journeys and get in contact with you. You will be on your own mostly out there. Oleg and his outpost has requested aid for some time now and perhaps you should make that your first stop on your journey. He'll be the only trader in the region, let alone the only place with access to an aviary. Extra supplies requested will be sent there should proper necessity deem it required. Ser Bregan, who shall be your group's quartermaster?" After those logistical matters have been addressed, he adds "One last thing before you go, everyone, I'll require your discretion about somethings. Rumor has it that a few of Ser Bregan's fellow falcons defected or aiding Bruthazmus' gang. Should you hear any word of truth to this on your expedition please let me know."
Addressing Vishoon's question: "Ha! No my friend. We have spears for that! Your exotic blades could help, but it is with spears one partakes in the noble sport of boar hunting. Getting too close to its tusks could be deadly." "Ser Bregan, a knight such as yourself knows better than to turn down an opportunity to go boar hunting! My servants will take care of the logistics and travel. This is to clear your mind and relax. Drink, ride, hunt. You know: live the Brevish dream! If it is your wish to remain in town for a week and help with the dead and clean-up, be my guest." He looks to Valeska. "Volunteering? This may be one of the last chances I see you! Certainly you will come along for the hunt? I feel like you are a good luck charm for me! Ha! I don't want to go back to my estate without returning proper thanks for my life! Also... I've been thinking..." Valeska:
"I know this sounds insane! Believe me... but if you are going to explore, I would like your permission to take care of the child. I can do the paperwork and talk to Peitros. My wife... recently passed.. and I would love some company at my estate. I would treat the child as my own and tell him everyday about the compassion Valeska showed him on this fateful day! That is... if you permit it." ---------------------------------- Gregan looks to Ser Bregan who is holding his personal charter. "That'll be the one. He saved my life you know. If he's leading you all, you're in good hands." Syra asks Gregan "Are we set to leave after my father's speech?" The Halfling server brings you a tall glass of stout. "As wished, hero."
"Valeska.." He takes a finishing gulp of his ale. "Nevermind." He smiles awkwardly and approaches Ser Bregan. He speaks with an optimistic tone. "Ser Bregan, a little birdy told me you are to lead an expedition into the Stolen Lands? Forgive me for interrupting, good sir," Notioning to Ravens. He laughs. "Before you get too excited I will not be interested in coming along... but I was hoping I could repay you and your friends here for saving me today. Before you go, I'd love to take Valeska, you and the others out boar hunting. Ever been?" He gauges your interest. "Trust me, it won't be a long trip. It is about a day and a half ride north of hear. I hear there is this boar out there named Tuskgutter who sounds like quite a worthy adversary for a hero like yourself. Oh and don't worry- we'll have no problem of bandits north." "At the very least, I figured the traveling and hunting could be fun and good practice of what's to come while exploring."
Valeska:
"I lost my mother when I was young, too. Poor thing. Are you joking? Surely someone as beautiful as yourself has someone in your life. Ah here we are! Let me get the door for you." Aldern opens the door for you to let you inside the Rusty Dragon. "Can I get you anything?" Aldern spots the rest of his saviors.
Valeska: "Oh yes. They are safe. For sure. I just wanted to make sure you were alright going out here all alone. You seem to be as capable of handling yourself as you are beautiful. Your husband is a very lucky man..." He changes the subject. "So, I suppose Peitros will be making an annoucement soon about what happened. Come lets walk and talk on our way to see the newlyweds..."
Valeska: "Wait! I can help.. oh...sorry I'll be quiet. I do not want to wake your child. I just had to protect you and make sure you are all right. My what a lovely raven! Is it yours?"
"No..." He whimpers as Valeska runs away from him. His eyes watch her leave. He calls out "WILL I SEE YOU AT THE RUSTY DRAGON?" The commanding form of Ser Bregan take's Aldern's attention after Valeska leaves. He has a bittersweet expression. "She's like a sunset- beautiful but fleeting away. Such beauty...I sure hope her child is ok... I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend. Yes I do! They'll recognize me. I am a distinguished guest and friends of House Lebeda." He takes a double take at Areanna. "Wait. I...I've seen you from somewhere. You're the Delante's child, aren't you? The singer?" He looks a little puzzled and looks down at his clothes to brush some dust off him."AH!" Aldern jumps at the spear polk. "Gods you are a scary one, Ser...? I am Aldern Foxglove. Humble guest and friend of House Lebeda. Do not fear- I am a distinguished man of honor! Maybe you have never been to Silverhall but I know quite a few people and a bit of a tradesman. I've moved into my home near the Bend of the East Sellen. It is a beautiful place. I bet Valeska would like it if she saw it." He gasps. "Valeska! Yes. Such simple beauty. Areanna, do you really think I should go after her? Don't you think I should take you to the Rusty Dragon? The bridal party will know you are good men if I return to them with you.. but I am the dashing type.. I should go after her. She saved me and I must protect her, now!" "Go on ahead, everyone. Tell them you are with me and I will be coming shortly. I must go see to it that Valeska is safe!" "Valeska! Wait up! I'm coming!" |
