Haer'Dalis:
So, my dusky jay, what draws you to our company?
Xulaye:
As you well know, male, I was commanded to travel with you. If you are still wracked with confusion, perhaps some time in the spider pits will provide some clarity.
Haer'Dalis:
Ah, and it was at your request, if Handmaiden Imrae is to be believed. What interest could a female in your eminent position have in our humble group?
Xulaye:
Nothing that concerns you, bard.
Haer'Dalis:
Then-
Xulaye:
Silence! I will not be questioned!
Haer'Dalis:
Then allow me to make a statement.
Xulaye:
Keep it quick, fool. My patience is speedily waning.
Haer'Dalis:
I have seen the glances shared with Phaere, and-
Xulaye:
How *dare* you presume to know what I am about?!
Haer'Dalis:
I apologise, 'twas not mine intent to offend.
Xulaye:
Open your mouth once more, male, and you will find the spiders pleasing in comparison to the tortures I will put you through!
Xulaye:
What of you, silent one? You watch, but do not speak a word. Are you dumb? Deaf?
Valygar:
I simply choose not to speak. One learns far more by simply listening.
Xulaye:
A wise decision. You could find favor in Ust Natha, perhaps even in House Despana. Your body is most pleasing, as is a servant who can hold his tongue.
Valygar:
I am not interested.
Xulaye:
No? That is too bad. You could go far.
Xulaye:
But it is your choice, male. I find it odd that you are not in want of power, but it matters not. There are always others to do my will.
Valygar:
Yes, I'm sure there are. But I am not one of them, nor will I be. I have other matters to attend to - excuse me.
