Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Kill them, be charged with the federal offense for murder of an imperial officer, rot in jail living off scraps, then die in your sleep of the deathly chill at best." Kaspin said pointing out where she was plainly wrong. "Yes, yes, Magic or whatever the modern youth call it today I am a whatever you said... I just say the words, throw some gesture at them, and react to whatever the spell inflicts on them." Kaspin rested his head in the sunlight and let the rest of his body under the shadow of the barrel. "Im going to sleep a bit, the nicest thing you could do is at least give an old man some pity and wait for him. But can I expect that from a free bird like yourself?" Kaspin chuckled to himself.

Arya walked slowly through the street in his sweeping robe just barely touching the stone pave road of third dock, on the eastern end of Tesa. He strummed a freshly tuned lute willfully through the street. "Well so far we have gained so much information as how it spreads and what the estimated death count is, we have a few symptoms, but no source." Arya recapped looking at Morilineth with a wry smile and youthful eyes. He stopped his lute playing saw a familiar figure on a shipment boat. "Was that the women we talked with previously. Arya started his way over, blending with the crowd and pushing several people aside, he got closer and knew it was the same face. He also saw an older figure. "Something about that man startles me..."

Arya stopped when she saw him. He kept a straight face. Arya kept moving, slower this time. Arya's hand strayed from his side under one of his layers of robe. He stopped a decently safe distance away. "Hello again..." Arya began to feel suspicious of this women, she was on a cluttered boat in a deserted area. He took a step forward. And began to silently slide out something from his pocket. His expression darkened. "Who exactly are you?" Arya interrogated.

Kaspin opened one eye. He slid quietly behind the overturned barrel and looked at Arya with a smile. He waited, hand on his cane. If she was desperate enough to run then he would have to break one of his principles, but it would have to do. He just hoped he would answer the man's questions.

Eva raised an eyebrow as the man from earlier strided toward her.
"And what would you like to know this time?" she asked skeptically. She was beginning to doubt that he was just a curious outlander. She was able to weave her way out of the situation without a fight last time. She simply slipped away with the excuse that she had to get back to work. A valid excuse anywhere. But she probably wouldn't be so lucky this time.
Eva watched as a familiar looking man hobbled out from behind this man.

((Azuuuuure?))

"Very well." Arya said straightening his posture and looking at her straight. He said with less hostility in his voice now, "I am Lord Arya Pelnas, commander of the third ship division of the army, and high political adviser of the imperial court and his lordship Juwel." Arya held up his imperial seal of government, the rose and lute were his signs of power. "I apologize for my demands, but of recently I cannot trust any Lebrethians first hand, yet I failed to give you a good chance. Seeing you out here made me suspicious." Arya took another step forward. "The best I can do to apologize is secure your ship on Pelnas and keep you within my walls. Juwel will personally see to it that you be tortured and interrogated, and If he finds out about my freelance work of investigation, he would put me under protection and the island of Sceptra would be doomed to it's expiring. Then those diseased would come to these islands, and it would spread." Arya explained. "Do you not see my vision to protect us all?"

Kaspin stood up and placed his arm on Eva's side. "He is right girl, it would be to benefit us all." Kaspin agreed he knocked his cane on the boat's wood. He walked over to Arya. "Hmm... Ah yes, Pelnas's boy, you've grown." Kaspin said with a smile. "Have you got your steps right?"

"Master Kaspin!" Arya said unbelievably. "Yes... my father spoke of you to me." Arya shook his hand appropriately. "I see you have come across this women, but under what cause."

"My own, come Eva why not introduce yourself properly?" Kaspin said. Then his attention came to the older figure. "Ah, professor Astra... Astra something. I have heard of your works, and I have been wanting to meet you for some time. I was wondering, do you perhaps have any thought on philosophy?"

"Not directly no, but through ancestry our families together have fought against those of the rebellious natives. Sadly I must admit that I come from a similar blood line as those who go against the will of the imperial court. My for fathers and his met on the battle field, and bonds were made. The Tegu line left my family Pelnas, and protected one another in duty. Such is described on the code of arms and scripts of my ancestors." Arya explained. "The Tegu and Pelnas select to youths of each of the family to be bonded and defend one another, mine has yet to be born." Arya went further while Kaspin nodded in agreement. He bowed his head to Eva. "Eva, of Lebrithian blood, you are requested as a personal guest of the Pelnas family, and will be able to go about isle Pelnas easily and without question, not disguise required. Such will be my orders." Arya turned. " Now If you would be kind to show me to your boat, we need to get out of this chaotic place as fast as we can." Arya gestured for her to lead.

Arya nodded. "We will return to my palace on Pelnas." Arya answered. He pointed to a alley way. "May I suggest that way."
