Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 8:41:41 PM)
*Nigel was rather appreciative of Scott taking the responsibility of driving. Road trips always made him sleepy, and it would likely have ended in a crash had he been the one behind the wheel. Along the trip, he studied little notes written; who's who, what position do they sit and the assumed goals of each.*

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 8:41:53 PM)
(was just about to type that)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:42:45 PM)
Azu eyed out the window the new area they were traveling to, it was sort of nice to be heading someplace new. Yawning a bit herself and letting Nigel do his study of his notes, smiling a bit at him. Listening to Frankie go on about how he'll teach Roy and Dee all manner of Science.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 8:43:10 PM)
*Faith sat next to Nigel reading his notes if he let her that is,and for once enjoying not haveing to drive*I have no idea who is who,Im such a lacky*heavy sigh,.as she ignored Frankie and his Science talk*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 8:48:03 PM)
*Let her peek over at the notes as he studied*

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 8:48:15 PM)
*It was roughly a seven and a half hour drive from New Orleans to Atlanta, so it gave everyone a large window for their time passing activities. Much of the trip would be on the interstates as they blended into one another and the landscape made slow, but steady changes*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:48:18 PM)
She listened in on the sidhe, digging out a redbull from a cooler, of course she brought those.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:53:25 PM)
Azu would probably peer at notes over Nigel's other shoulder sometimes, also commiting important people to memory.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 8:53:49 PM)
*Faith just sighed rather heavily*Im going to feel like a complete moron

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 8:54:12 PM)
*The hours passed at the usual road trip speed. Fine at first, then uncomfortable, and finally unbearable. Right about the point that you're sick of everyone in the vehicle, the high rises of Atlanta's business district came into view*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:54:42 PM)
"Just remember to be polite Miss Faith, if you aren't certain sometimes it's best not to answer." Azu commented, grinning when she saw the city. "Thank goodness."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 8:55:24 PM)
*nodding her head to what Azu said*I will trust me*she sighed once again when she saw the city scape*Oh thank the lord*chuckles a bit*My butt is going numb

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 8:57:10 PM)
*Nigel was nudged awake, and smiled at the sight of the city.* "Wonderful!" *YAWN* "Let's hope his lordship is in a fantastic mood."

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:58:56 PM)
"Well, freshen up at the hotel before we go, I booked four rooms."

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:59:12 PM)
(the idea being there were 7 people originally!)

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 8:59:23 PM)
*The freehold of Willow's Heart was one that not even a first timer to the city could miss. It wasn't the tallest building in the city, but it looked to have been carved of pale blue glass and then dipped in spun sugar. It was the upper levels of the skyscraper that stood out the most, the color brightening and becoming more vivid, the glass reflecting the city lights and casting strange shadows along the neighboring buildings*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 8:59:57 PM)
"And...ooh, look at that." Totally getting distracted by the pretty building.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:00:18 PM)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:01:08 PM)
*Nigel eyed the building with excitement.* "A modern palace. Very nice."

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:01:13 PM)
so I heading away from the pretty building right

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:01:43 PM)
Its very,whats the word?*as she continued to look at it*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:01:48 PM)
She smiled lightly at Faith and watched the hold out the window best she could. "Well, should be interesting if nothing else. I booked a hotel nearby Mister Scott so we're heading that way."

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:03:32 PM)
*The city itself was alive with light and color, what with it being a Friday night. People strolled down the sidewalks, slipping into bars, resturants, movie theaters and the like. Quite of few Kithain were about as well, which was not at all unusual for the seat of the kingdom*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:04:05 PM)
8he drives the hotel and parks the van infront

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:05:40 PM)

*she nods her head to what Azu said*Okay...*and climbed out of the van when everyone else got out of course,grabbing her small overnight bag,as she too went to her room*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:09:10 PM)
Azu nodded, taking the room with Faith cause she did't want to stay with the pooka if she could help it. Nameless was following along, glad to be out of the stuffy car.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:09:47 PM)

"I'm sure you'll do fine Miss Faith."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:12:58 PM)

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:13:28 PM)
*The hotel was busy tonight, as many other folks were checking in and heading out from their rooms to enjoy the nightlife of the city. Most of those about were mundane, but that was to be expected of hotels. The local Kithain naturally had their own homes*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:13:49 PM)
Azu touched up her hair and make up, changed into something a little nicer, more formal. Nodding some at herself. "I just hope they decide to help us."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:14:27 PM)
*once she was done,she sat on the bed taking care not to wrinkle her dress*I honestly would not count on it,but it is worth a shot to say the least..

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:15:23 PM)
*Nigel spruced up a bit, ironing out his nicer suit and throwing a brush through his pale hair.*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:15:52 PM)
"Well, we must hope at least."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:18:08 PM)

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:18:18 PM)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:19:23 PM)
"I think so yes." She nodded, nameless followed the eshuess, not looking forward to getting into the Van again. "We should make sure Nigel's ready as well." (Scott staying by the car and all)

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:20:16 PM)
*nods*As well as Scott*said as she stepped out of the room,then canted her head to the side a bit as she saw Scott still in the van*You are not going to freshen up?

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:21:11 PM)
(im going to be a tad slow im cooking myself dinner)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:21:43 PM)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:22:05 PM)
"Olby out mmmit . . ."

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:22:31 PM)
She laughed. "We'll be down by the Van." And headed out after Faith with a chuckle.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:24:26 PM)
*she kind of shrugged her shoulders as Scott really didnt respond to her,then turned and looked at Azu when she heard her chuckle*What,is he not ready yet?

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:24:51 PM)
"He'll get here." She grinned at Faith. "Men always take longer to get ready than women you know."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:25:13 PM)

*he looks at Faith* what I showered this morning, I am in my armor, my sword is in the van, what more I need?

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:27:47 PM)
*Eventually--much closer to the time limit--Nigel would come down and be dressed quite well, hair carefully groomed and chin without a trace of fuzz.. Upon noticing what Faith is wearing, he would do a small double take, but say nothing. Instead, he smiled at each of them.* "So, are we ready to make history?"

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:28:31 PM)
*when Scott actually spoke she turned her head looking at him*I was just asking,and nothing I guess*when she saw Nigel she gave him a smile and a nod*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:29:05 PM)
She nodded as well, sighing softly as she got back into the Van.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:29:33 PM)
*she too got back into the van taking care not to mess her dress up or winkle it in any manner*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:30:06 PM)
*he adjusts the mirror slightly so he can look a faith in her lovely dress, and heads toards the freehold*

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:32:02 PM)
*It was easy to follow the colorful high rise to a parking lot nearby. A few dollars handed over and they'd be set to take the rest of the way on foot*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:32:52 PM)
Nameless again was glad to be out of the confined space and Azu leaned back to the point she almost fell over trying to see up the building.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:33:15 PM)
*Nigel picked his way somewhat carefully along the street, avoiding potholes and uneven pavement. The suit and shoes cost him an arm and a leg, and he wasn't about to throw that away before meeting the King.*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:33:41 PM)
*he gets out and sheths his sword, looking around, following the group*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:34:07 PM)
After catching herself and blushing she followed her feet, they'd lead her true after all.

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:38:01 PM)
*There were no guards posted at the front entrance, and after heading through it became apparent why. The ground level was wholey mundane, and mortals were freely going about their business. The only sign that something more was up above them was the Sidhe standing by a bank of elevators. His armor bore the device of house Scathach, and twin blades were slung across his back. Silver eyes quickly fell upon the group of strangers, and one alabaster hand rose in greeting*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:39:18 PM)
Azu bowed lightly to the sidhe. Respectful but not incredibly deep. He seemed to be someone to follow so she went thataway!

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:39:42 PM)
*Faith glanced around of course noting all the normal folks,then her eyes fell on the Sidhe standing by the Elevator and as soon as he lifted his hand in acknowledgment of them she gave him a respectful nod of her head*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:40:34 PM)
*Nigel walked over with dignified, purposeful steps. He offered a deep headnod in greeting.* "Good evening."

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:42:22 PM)
*Once they had come near, he called the elevator and stepped inside, holding the doors for them. He was a proud and graceful figure, with pale skin and long dark hair held out of his face with a circlet. His movements made no sound, and he didn't speak until they were all in the elevator and on the way up*Well met, strangers. Welcome to Willow's Heart.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:43:26 PM)
"Well met sir." She said politely, nodding and scurrying on the elevator so he doesn't have to hold it long. Of course Nameless is in toe, the water dragon yawning some.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:44:35 PM)
*as he held the doors open she stepped into the elevator as well choosing not to speak unless spoken to directly that is,but she did respond to his greeting*Well met*giving another respectful nod of her head*

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:46:29 PM)
You will be relieved of your weapons when we reach the penthouse level. The guard will keep them safely until you make your departure. I'm sure I needn't remind you that we follow the Escheat here*He was all business as they rode the elevator up floor after floor. The speech was almost monotone, and held little emotion. Clearly he repeated this a lot*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:47:30 PM)
.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:47:44 PM)
She just nodded, considering him a bit curiously a moment, petting Nameless absently. She got her knife from her boot to hand over to the guards when they reached the appropriate level.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:47:53 PM)
*she gave a slight nod of her head,thankful she didnt have any weapons..And realized the man had obviously repeated his little spill quite often*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:48:29 PM)
*Nigel made no motions to reply or respond to the Scathach, instead looking up at the floor numbers as they changed.*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:50:12 PM)
*he draws his sword and looks at the gaurd, and sighs slightly as he turns it over*

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:51:22 PM)
*she glanced at Scott for a brief moment before turning her attention back to the numbers as they changed*

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:51:40 PM)
*Eventually they reached the first level that contained the actual freehold and the doors opened to reveal the opulent entry hall. The marbles and colored glass hinted at a more traditional style, but the layout of the hall and the many fine decorations showed a much more modern taste. The Scathach bowed as they exited the elevator, and another guard stepped foward to claim any weapons. This one was an older Troll who wore the device of his King. He took all the offered weapons and headed for a small side room that was not unlike a coat check*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:52:40 PM)
She would check her knife without asking any questions, she'd been to proper holds before after all...it'd just been a while.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:53:20 PM)

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:54:01 PM)

*The Troll returned after storing their weapons*Well now, what brings you all to Willow's Heart?

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 9:55:00 PM)
*he looks at the troll sizing him up, as he remains near Faith*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:55:42 PM)
*Turning to speak with the Troll.* "We seek audience with the King about a tragic dispute."

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:55:58 PM)
She defered to Nigel, nodding.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:56:29 PM)
*she started to speak as well but Nigel beat her too it,then she just nodded her head*

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 9:57:00 PM)
*He was well into his graybeard years, and every exposed bit of flesh showed scars left by all sorts of weapons and less identifiable means. His horns were longer than most other Trolls, and the tips were starting to chip*Is he expecting you?

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 9:57:29 PM)
She shook her head negatively.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 9:57:53 PM)
*Faith saw Azu shake her head,then gave her a curious look but kept her mouth shut*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 9:58:54 PM)
*Nigel put on a grim expression.* "Given the threats of our circumstances, we could not endanger any more lives by mentioning the visit beforehand."

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 10:00:27 PM)
Most seeking an audience with the ruler of an entire kingdom would have the foresight to send word ahead of themselves, but if your situation is as you say then I suppose we can overlook that little slip*He shook his head and let out a sigh that seemed to say "Damn Wilders"* I'll pass along word and we can hope he is not currently engaged. In the meantime, you're welcome to wait in the gardens. Head up the hall and you can't miss them.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:02:12 PM)
She waited to follow after the sidhe, folding hands in front of her. Nameless meanwhile moved to stand next to Nigel, head up a bit more, adding some majesty to the image (at least as far as he was concerned).

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:03:12 PM)
*Offering a small bow to the noble Troll:* "Thank you greatly.' *and he led the way to the gardens.*

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:03:54 PM)
*Faith gave a polite nod of her head to the Older Troll,but could not help but perk up at the mention of gardens,as she too headed to the gardens with a bit of a smile on her face well as much as could be expected that is*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:03:59 PM)
After Nigel and Faith had passed ahead of her she went after them.

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 10:06:17 PM)
*The gardens were enclosed in the same painted glass as the rest of the building, and far more expansive than the dimensions of the place should allow for. Azaleas, camellias, and gardenias made up the bulk of this floors garden, their frangrances created a heady mix that calmed the nerves if one breathed in enough of it. Above them they could see another glass sphere containing what appeared to be a forest of magnolia*

She smiled at the gardens, taking a deep breath and looking around the gardens with a smile. "It's lovely." Nameless was sticking close to Nigel now that they were in the hold itself, possibly having been asked by Azu, possibly on his own, it was usually hard to tell with the dragon.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:09:33 PM)
*Nigel looked about the garden with as much pleasantness as he had seeing the palace the first time. The colors, shapes of the leaves: it was simply beautfiyl

Adversarius (Mar 18, 2011 10:10:25 PM)
*They were currently the only Kithain present in the garden, but the place was chock full of chimera. Many of the plants were alive, but the garden was also home to long extinct species of bird and insects of many kinds. They milled about with no concern for the presence of the group, as they knew they were completely safe in their domain*

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:12:37 PM)
*Faith was in awe at the place unable to hide the smile on her face as she looked around*its beautiful here...*speaking softly*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 10:14:45 PM)
*he follows them, and stands silently watching, he smirks slighting wondering if there was a sabertooth tiger chimera around and if he could convince it to be his friend*

*It would be a good half hour before the old Troll strolled out into the garden and took a deep breath of the sweet smelling air. He approached the group with a bright smile*You're in luck, strangers. His majesty has agreed to see you. If you would please follow me to the grand hall*He motioned them along and headed back out into the freehold proper*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 10:17:57 PM)
*he turns and follows the group, the silent bodygaurd to the travelers, should have worn a tux, or a suit, but atleast the armor was clean of blood*

(This user is now known as Meilge:King of Willows)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:18:04 PM)
She pulled out several sheets of parchment wrapped with a ribbon to hand Nigel discreetly. -vq- "A gift for him."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:18:42 PM)
*faith was brought out of her trance when she heard the old Troll speak,her attention quickly turning to him still a smile on her face...As she turned and followed the Troll out*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:18:44 PM)
Then she fell beihnd the sidhe again and Nameless stayed at Nigel's side, looking all magestic and mystical.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:18:59 PM)
*Nigel stopped his garden enjoyment the instant the Troll spoke, and nodded:* "Thank you kindly." *He made sure everyone got the message and followed the Troll. Nigel handled the gift carefully.*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:22:22 PM)
*The guard led them through the halls and finally opened a large set of wonderfully crafted double doors. Beyond them was a circular ball room with a raised platform in the center that held the throne and a number of smaller seats and desks. A galleried balcony hung overhead, though it was empty this evening. Upon the throne was Meilge, wrapped in dark velvets that reached the platform beneath him. Atop his head was the crown of Willows, and a scepter laid across his lap. The upper half of his face was covered by a mask of alabaster and gold. The lower half showed the lines of an aged Sidhe, and a smile that made those age lines all the more obvious. A scribe sat several chairs away, behind one of the desks*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 10:27:33 PM)
.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:27:58 PM)
*Nigel tightened up his posture, holding the gift steadily in his hands. Whether guided by guard or venturing on his own, Nigel's steps were solid and meaningful, as though he marched to battle and cared nothing for the danger. He would stop a respectable distance away and offer a very low, slow bow.*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:28:42 PM)
She followed in the other fae, entering a very deep curtsey/bow to where she had her forehead on the ground. and holding it until she was allowed to rise. Even nameless bowed when Nigel did, touching his dragony head to the ground as Azu did - though it was much easier on him than it was the eshuess.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:29:11 PM)
*upon entering the throne room,she noted the details around them but her eyes seemed to focus more on the King as he sat atop his throne drapped in velvets fitting of a King also noting the crown her wore and the sceptor that lay across his lap..She of course would give a proper curtsie upon stopping about six or so feet away from the platform,and did not rise until spoken too*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:30:09 PM)
*A number of guards were also in attendance, all of them either Trolls or Scathach. They were scattered around the ball room, and their eyes never left the group of newcomers for a second. Their faces held no malice, but it was clear that they would shoot first and ask questions later if a false move was made*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 10:30:36 PM)
*scot remains silent, standing head bowed, but always in a bodygaurd posture, protective of the group, eyeing the gaurds*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:33:01 PM)
*He let them hold their positions for a moment before speaking up. His voice did not carry a southern accent of any sort, which was a bit for the ruler of a southern kingdom. Still, it was a pleasent and friendly sound*Pease, dear guests....have a seat and be comfortable. Is there perhaps something we can get for you?

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:35:19 PM)
She rose slowly, making sure to do so after the sidhe with her had. Nameless rose with Nigel. Shaking her head in a polite decline of the king's offer, again after whatever Faith and Nigel had to say.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:37:22 PM)
*Nigel rose just as slowly as he'd bowed and offered a firm but polite smile.* "His majesty is too kind. If you'll allow it, we have come today with a gift of our own." *Nigel took a few steps forward and offered the goblin paper, holding it aloft gently.*

*upon being spoken to and told she could rise she did just that,giving the King a respectful nod along with a smile in response,she glanced at the others in the the group then she watched Nigel soon as he took the steps forward offering the gift,obviously letting Nigel do all the talking*(oh shut up!)

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:39:33 PM)
(( lol

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:39:44 PM)
*Everything about Meilge seemed inviting, from his bright eyes and genuine smiles right down to the fact that they were before a king and Protocol was not in effect. One of the guards came forward to accept the bundle of parchment from Nigel. He spent a moment inspecting it before he took a knee and offered it to Meilge. The king eyed the gift with a widening smile*Goblin parchment, eh? Someone has done their homework*He handed the parchment back to the guard, who backed off the platform and resumed his post, gift in hand*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:43:34 PM)
(( where are the chairs the king is refering us to sit in? ))

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:44:12 PM)
(I left them out of the description didn't I? Doh. There are a few rows set up before the platform hosting the throne)

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:44:29 PM)
(we forgive you*pats*)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:45:53 PM)
Nameless lays on the floor near Nigel, almost like you'd expect a 'faithful dragon' to act. Azu sits a seat behind and a bit to the left of Nigel.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:46:16 PM)
*Nigel bowed again, and moved deliberately to take the middle-most chair, seating calmly, back straight as a board.* "The preferences of His Majesty are of great importance in his kingdom."

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:46:49 PM)
*Faith would take a few steps back away from the plateform before turning and taking the offered seats,smoothing out the back of her dress with her hand as she sat down crossing her ankles sitting up straight and proper*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:47:14 PM)
*When they were seated he spoke up again*Let us begin with your introductions, and then we shall move on to your pressing matters.

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:50:49 PM)
"Of course, Excellency." *Nigel stood and bowed again.* "I am Squire Nigel Ambrose ap Eiluned, of New Orleans of the Delta Crescent."

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:51:42 PM)
Well met, Squire. It is always a pleasure to meet a member of our grand house*He motioned for Nigel to sit before his gaze fell on Faith*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 10:53:13 PM)
*Nigel would quickly find his seat again, back straight with a small painted smile*

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:53:38 PM)
*Faith glanced at Nigel when he said all that,she could not help but swallow hard cause her's wasnt nearly as elborate as his..As she too stood up after Nigel finished giving another curtise*..Iam Squire Faith King ap Fiona,of New Orleans*giving another respectful nod of her head*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:56:41 PM)
A pleasure to meet you as well, Squire. The Fiona have fallen on hard times in my kingdom of late, but it gives me hope that they will rise again when I see promising youngsters under their banner*He motioned for her to sit and then looked to the two commoners before him*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 10:56:54 PM)
"Azu Ongokos of New Orleans Your Majesty." Following the proper suit of rising and sitting back down, her head lowered in the polite and proper manner despite the fact she wanted to stare (damn sidhe being all pretty when propiety demanded commoners avert their eyes!), etiquette pounded into her over several lifetimes helping her to follow all the correct nuiances of the court. She often came off more like a respectful commoner of much older days than one of the outspoken one of modern times.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 10:57:46 PM)
*she sat once he motioned for her too*

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 10:59:44 PM)
*He offered Azu a polite smile, but said nothing as he awaited Scott's introduction*

Scott Roberson (Mar 18, 2011 11:00:12 PM)

Two noble children of differing houses, one of the restless wanderers, and their staunch guardsman*He nodded toward the old Troll that had checked their weapons and led them in*Aegirr tells me you came in haste due to conflict in your home. Please, enlighten me.

Faith King (Mar 18, 2011 11:03:41 PM)

"Your Grace, it is with a deep sadness sought your prescence this evening.

*He spent a few minutes reading the letter before lowering it and looking to Azu*Ms Ongokos, I would also hear your testimony. I am as trusting a man as a king can afford to be, but I cannot sanction movements against fellow Kithain without knowing full well that what I am told is truth*His gaze settled on one of the guards*Fetch the Chancellor...*The guard ducked out and returned a moment later with a golden haired Sidhe in his wilder years. He bowed before the throne and spoke softly with the king for a moment*Now, your testimony before one of house Gwydion.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:22:36 PM)
"It is an honor Your Majesty if it is of any aid to the Kithain of New Orleans." She nodded deeply, standing before she spoke and keeping her head bowed properly.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:25:26 PM)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:25:29 PM)
(typing now)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:30:18 PM)
"I personally have been affronted by the actions of Roy duFontane and Rhonda Devalier. The pair of them for at least the last six months in my personal case have horded the hold away, allowing no use without requiring the payment of dross for everything. Just to walk in, to use the balefire or any other thing you might need. People have been forced to put up with this from what I've been told at least for many months even prior to my arrival. Then a few months ago...a childling boy dissapeared. Taken from his very home by a boggan called John Perkins." (more)

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:35:12 PM)
"We searched for some time before we discovered who had taken this boy, called Gordy, and that they had taken him to the very hold they denied the access of so many others. During Samhain myself, Miss Rhys and Mister Scott (all of whom should be here!)" She'd make light gestures to them, looking at the Gwydion Chancellor this time as she spoke and told her story. "...we went into the hold paying the dross they required for our entry and found the boy. I would prefer not to go into many details, as they are not proper for a court such as this, but he was in poor condition. It was immediately obvious to all of us that he had been being tormented for a very long while and that effort had been taken to make certain he wouldn't actually die from his wounds."

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 11:37:08 PM)
*Meilge wore a genuine frown as the tale went on, but said nothing. The Chancellor was clearly kenning the words of the Eshu, concentrating on the task*

Nigel Ambrose (Mar 18, 2011 11:38:44 PM)
*Nigel steadied his jaw from chattering at the story. Words from an Eschu were something to witness, though this was a story he'd wished he'd never heard.*

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:39:33 PM)
"We snuck him free of the hold, though I imagine by now they are well aware of what we did. Later when he spoke to us, he and Mister Calvin both promised they would take an oath of truth in telling the court the horrors they have witnessed during their time in New Orleans. Gordy went on to describe that the boggan had kidnapped him from his home after pretending to be there for more innocent means. Also that during the months of them hurting them, and I was lead to believe by his description that all three of them were torturing him; They were attempting to get him to lure out Mister Calvin to an unsafe location. I imagine because he is one of very few in the city that will openly disregard what stands and a hollow and wicked pale reflection of any true court." Said almost as if it -pained- her to call it a 'court' at all.

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 11:44:17 PM)
*When she finished, the Chancellor once again spoke softly with Meilge before stepping back to let the king have the floor once again*It would seem you speak the truth, though at this point I must say I wish you did not.

Azu Ongokos (Mar 18, 2011 11:46:05 PM)
"I wish that I was not the bearer of such poor tidings as well Your Highness, my apologies that could not bring you a lighter tale." Going back to keeping her head down now that her story was finished.

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 11:47:02 PM)
So, in light of these awful doings you came here to seek my aid. Based on that, I suppose the local Kithain are powerless to stop these brigands?

*He turned toward the court scribe*Bring me the minutes from the last time New Orleans was discussed here*The scribe bowed and headed off to fetch the reports*This matter was brought before me once before, I do believe when the conflict in your home had first escalted into open violence.

Meilge:King of Willows (Mar 18, 2011 11:53:32 PM)
*The scribe returned a few moments later and handed the report off to Meilge, who began to read through it as the scribe retook his seat*Ahh yes, here it is. We sent what troops could be spared to help bring things back under control. Only a few of them returned with their lives.
