Re: The Establishment of The Exchange

"I've told you. My condition is... different. I am different."

*She sighs. Clearly far more under-control now or at least not visibly angry.*

"This is part of it. There is more, but I not only cannot show you. I cannot describe it in a way that would be understandable. As for the mask of my condition.... lets just say I have connections... or rather that as a child someone thought me useful. I've spent a lifetime repaying a debt that was not my choice to take on, but that debt has allowed me to live among men. Were I a threat you would be much worse off than you are. Let it suffice that much of who I was is not what I am now."

Zeiss ponders what Z has just revealed to him.

"I doubt that gold is the kind of currency that can repay that debt. Am I right?"

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:19 am

*Z chuckles.*

"Actually gold is exactly the kind of currency to repay that debt. I do not know if I owe a debt of gratitude and favors as well, as I don't know from whom I received it."

*Z appears to ponder a moment. She nods once as if having reached a conclusion, then speaks.*

"You know Zeiss. For all that at times I feel like I'm working with a child on occasion, you're not so bad."

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:29 am

Zeiss was preparing to say something about this mysterious person she was indebted to, but got interrupted by Z's remark.

"...Thank you, I guess? I didn't think I looked like a child in your eyes Z, but whatever. Actually, can't I just call you Zeriel? It sounds less strange than Z."

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:32 am

"But you act like the children I remember from..."

"Zeriel is a name from long ago. I cannot say that I am she anymore."

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:42 am

Zeiss tries to ignore the comment about the children she knew. He looks to where the wagon is. Not there yet.

"Hmm. I think Z is a suspicious name. It's only one letter. And it's the initial of the name you do not wear anymore. You should choose something better. Like Molly. You do not look like a Molly, so it fits you perfectly."

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:46 am

*Z gives a surprised snort of laughter.*

"Molly... You want to call me Molly!"

*She laughs some more.*

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 4:52 am

Zeiss hides it, but he is happy to see that Z can finally takes her mind off of what is happening in Stonehold.

"Why are you laughing? I did tell you that name did not fit you. You would be more of an Asha. Or Arya. Molly sounds too sweet. But at least, it's better than one letter."

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:29 am

*Z is still laughing behind you.*

"Alright alright a name. I'll think of one okay."

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:32 am

"Good."

They continue to advance towards the wagon that they can see now, far away.

"How much do you owe that benefactor?"

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:39 am

"I owe him my ability to exist before you, but the gold is repaid. Why?"

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:41 am

"Oh, I'm just worried that this person might decide to come visit us and ask of you to pay your debt..."

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 6:29 am

"I'm sure whomever that was is either long gone dead or escaped with the remnants of the old Undermarket."

*She stops and ponders again.*

"...Did you talk to Fiernaceal about the hanger before you left? Are we sure there is only one entrance?"

by Permeus (tabran) Tue Jun 11, 2013 10:47 am

as Zeiss and Z get back to the group.

"you know i dont think i will ever fully understand people, Z are you Ok?! i want to hep theres people too but right now we just dont have it in our power."

Zeiss looks over his shoulder and stares at Z.

"...No. But let's hope there isn't any other."

*continues talking after Tabran joins.*

"In a facility that large, several miles in all directions remember? I'd say that whomever designed it would be a fool to have only had one entrance. Not to mention that thing was designed to hold multiple of those."

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 11:37 pm

"If there are any other entrances, we'll make the weavers in our group seal them. But we have one entrance that is known by a whole village. We have to take care of that one for now."

He stops, thinks for a few moment, then adds :

"Maybe we should try to find another exit, seal the one we discovered and make your friend Milli weave the soul-tied door to another entrance."

by Z Tue Jun 11, 2013 11:41 pm

"One not so known? That wouldn't be too bad of an idea. we'll have to ask Fiernaceal to check for other entrances when we get back."

To Zeiss and Tabran:

by Zeiss Tue Jun 11, 2013 11:43 pm

"Right."

He follows the wagon on his horse and prepares to head back to the ruins.
