Briefing >Plot Thread:Search for Evil<

[Lirael]

"Well, it's a long and dreadful process! Not really, you need to have, um, four years of proper training. I had it in six, because of my delegate and ambassador training. It's worth it though. I could help you if you need it."
Her eyes widened. She wanted very much to learn about magic, and learn how to use it properly, her herself not having any proper training.
"You could?" She asked, after rose had finished talking about the length of the trip. She herself could spare a year to this trip if they needed it, they didn't need her at home, and wouldn't mind when she got home- although she would like to see her brother again soon.

[Sapphire]

"Well, probably at least a week to a week and a half...its hard to say, depending on when Aly is there...she's supposed to be there already, but we're not sure yet. I sent a missive to her last week, so it'll take awhile yet to get an answer."

This was going to be an interesting mission. Could you call it a mission? More of a task really. Sapphire was glad that she had something to take her mind off all that had been happening. Take away the stray thoughts that haunted her mind. "Oh, and what do we need? To bring I mean."

"You could?"

Sapphire giggled at the girls face. "Of course I could. It would be nice!" she glanced at Rose, "Who else are we waiting for?"

[Rhianna Kiandra]

"Well, probably at least a week to a week and a half...its hard to say, depending on when Aly is there...she's supposed to be there already, but we're not sure yet. I sent a missive to her last week, so it'll take awhile yet to get an answer."

Rhianna nodded. She'd kept quiet as she worked on a particularly nasty chunk of dired mud stuck to her boot.

"Who else are we waitning for?"

Rhianna looked to her knight mistress. "Any one else, Rose? Or is it gonna just be us girls?" A twinkle lit her emereald eyes as she noted the distinct lack of males.

[Kirra]

Kirra was dressed in her Queen's Riders clothes, a plain white shirt, brown tunic and trousers and riding boots, as she walked up the quiet street in the nobles residential area. Kirra had never been here before and, although walking briskly, took in the beautiful houses and the gardens surrounding them as fast as she could. Stopping at the Castlemaine townhouse, she looked down at her Rider's badge, a crimson rearing horse on a bronze coloured field, surrounded by a ring, for assurance that she did have the right to be here. Kirra still wasn't used to be around nobles, and treated as an equal by many.

Raising her head and setting her jaw, she knocked on the door and was soon ushered upstairs, to a rather large room with a polished table in the middle with chairs all around. Looking quickly around at the faces and decoration in the room, Kirra smiled. Most she didn't know, but she did know Rose of Castlemaine. Kirra's mouth was clamped shut, reverting to being shy, but she was slightly more comfortable. She walked in and pulled out a chair, sitting slightly uncomfortably on it, just the end of a question.

"So Rose, how long is this delegation going to take?"

"Well, probably at least a week to a week and a half...its hard to say, depending on when Aly is there...she's supposed to be there already, but we're not sure yet. I sent a missive to her last week, so it'll take awhile yet to get an answer."

Kirra made a note of this as she sat down, once more looking around at the other faces, and it suddenly struck her that there were no men there. Interesting. But her thoughts suddenly strayed back to the task they were going to be undertaking. They were to find Cynthia, formerly of Longlake, for high treason at the battle of Masbolle. Although Kirra had heard all about the battle at Masbolle, she hadn't actually been there, and she was going to accompany the others as a Queen's Rider.

[Sapphire]

"Any one else, Rose? Or is it gonna just be us girls?"

Sapphire grinned at this remark. She lokked around and nodded in agreement, "Yes Rose, just us girls? Isn't Claw meant to be coming?" She fiddled with her long dark curls and her smile didn't falter. She waas happy to be doing something. Happy to have something to keep her mind off things. Happy to be doing something. It was a good feeling. A purposeful feeling.

She looked up and saw Kirra. "Oh hi Kirra, how are you?" She looked at Kirra's new, broze Riders badge and smiled kindly. "I haven't seen you in ages. I like the badge!"

[Lirael]

Kaidreni looked down at Kirra's badge too, although a wistful expression in her eye, she had often wished she had had something to do, but she was no warrior, on countless occaisions she had wished to be so, she supposed it might just be as well she was not a warrior. After all, Sapphire said she would help her.



Waiting on her chair, kai listened quitely, she hoped she was not required to say anything now, she did not like being around so many people. She would stay though, for however long this meeting took. This was something to get on with, and she would enjoy having something real to do.



The slight light flickered in her right eye, she found sitting in this position it was hard to keep herself from falling asleep, she shuffled forwards in her chair, poising at the very end of the chair so that she would be uncomfortable enough to wait.

[Rose]

((SORRY FOR NOT REPLYING GUYS!!))

"Who else are we waiting for?"

"Well...let me think. We're waiting for Claw...Jazz couldn't come today of course, Kirra...and...yeah...just Claw, Jazz, and Kirra I think." she said.

"Or is it gonna just be us girls?"

Rose cracked a grin.

"Sorry to disappoint you there sweetpea, but Claw will be joining us." she said with a wink. "We'll have to torment him just a bit, don't you agree?" she said innocently.

Rose raised her head and waved at Kirra as she walked into the room.

"Hi Kirra. We were just talking about you." she said with a smile.

[Rhianna Kiandra]

"Sorry to disappoint you there sweetpea, but Claw will be joining us." she said with a wink. "We'll have to torment him just a bit, don't you agree?"

Rhianna returned her knight mistress's evil grin. "Of course we will, Rose."

"Hi Kirra. We were just talking about you." [/]

She turned her head and smiled at the new arrival. "Hi."

[Riana]

((Is it too late to join? If so, I'll delete this post))

Riana walked along the streets of Corus where the nobles most commonly lived. The high-end architecture was something she was intrigued by, and she stared constantly at the houses with wide eyes. Remembering that she was searching for the Castlemaine Townhouse, she dug for a slip of paper in the pocket of her breeches where the address was written. Looking around, she spotted the house a little ways down the street.

As she walked to the door, she straightened her tunic and breeches, her mind racing. She'd never conversed with nobles about important, international matters, and the pressure was suddenly on her. With a shaky hand, she lightly rapped on the door and she was welcomed quickly inside. She was led to a room where a group of women sat conversing around. Immediately she began searching for familiar faces, and was relieved to see Kirra sitting at the table.

"Hello," she said shyly to the woman at the head of the table. "I'm with the Queen's Riders." She absentmindedly toyed with the badge on her tunic as she hurried to take a seat by Kirra.

[Rose]

((Nah, you're fine. Thanks for joining.))

"Of course we will, Rose."

Rose laughed at her squire's tone of voice and "evil" grin.

"You're shaping up to be a great squire Rhianna." she joked with her.

The opening of the door caused Rose to look up as a new arrival walked in.

"Hello, I'm with the Queens Riders."

Rose smiled at the new woman.

"Hello, I'm Lady Knight Rose and the rest of the titles which I don't feel like adding. I find them quite...un-useful. This is my squire Rhianna of Queenscove, and you obviously know Kirra. And then there's Kaidreni and Sapphire. Fhire is from the Yamani Isles. Anyways, we're just waiting for a couple more people to come..."
