[Solymr]

: Heh, we actually did it...

Edgar silently heard the king and Taft go back and forth until it was clear that the mission had been in vain.

: Your majesty, I don't think you're lying, but other than the emblem, there's also the issue with the assassins sent to kill you. If there's a third side involved that it's trying to set Cleper and your country against each other, the fact that the assassins and us were sent at the same time is probably not a coincidence. Do you have anyone in mind that would try to have you killed?

[Haspen]

"The good King can repay us by providing us with ample amount of medicine, magical staves - especially healing staves, and lots of them, considering the group's penchant for getting knocked out - and money, as the Council was made of scrooges."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Nah, dat s'uff ain' so impor'an'. We saved der kin', righ'? An' dats like savin' der kin'dom. An' iffn yer save der kin'dom den yer get ter marry der princess 'n' become ruler."
"I c'n marry 'er w'eneva she's ready, yer kin'liness."

[Twinwolf]

Alicia, being a new addition to the group with not much to say that hasn't already been said, is quiet.

[Swordstar]

The king had been about to reply to Taft when the others spine up. His frown deepened and he was about to speak when Shil added her two thoughts. Instead, he stared to laugh.

"Ah, sadly my dear woman, my daughter has already chosen the man she will marry. And your other demands are unlikely to be fulfilled. Unless... Well, I suppose I could simply let you return to Cleper. If that is your wish. However, I too desire to speak to these representatives. Their actions, while understandable if they truly believed me to be corrupted by the emblem, are still troublesome. I do not blame you for following their orders but may I suggest a compromise?

 You remain here as my... guests. I know that Cleper has the ability to warp many places and I suspect that you have some way of keeping in contact with them. If you were to send them a message requesting they send an envoy here so that we could discuss the situation, I would be willing to look past what happened here tonight so far as your original intentions. So long as the explanation I get is satisfactory. For as you said, the timing is very interesting. Perhaps the shifting we rulers have been sensing more are finally turning into the storm we were afraid of..."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Great. Cleper's holding our boss hostage and now this guy is holding us hostage. We have the most rotten luck."

[Swordstar]

The king frowned and shook his head.

"You misunderstand me. If you wish to leave, you are free to go. However, it seemed like you might wish to not travel all the way back to Cleper as that is a journey of weeks. So it seemed to make more sense to bring an envoy who can teleport here in a few seconds, as opposed to making you do that, plus it makes both sides happy as I would get to find out more about why they chose this way of dealing with the situation."

[GiglameshDespair]

"Pfft, dun worry, Taffy. E'en iffn we're 'ostages, den it dun ma''er iffn we ge' sil' cus'ions an' der like, eh? Also, it migh' 'nnoy der Lepers, so it' wor' it fer dat."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"My life has been nothing but bad luck since the day we met, Shilleka, and I'm putting all the blame entirely on you. It can't be a coincidence."

[Haspen]

"O' mebbe yer were born wi' it."

[GiglameshDespair]

Shilleka grinned at someone else speaking properly.
"Eeeeeyyyyyy!"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Sure, sure. A good lifetime career goes straight in the latrine the same day I met most of you. I can't see the correlation here at all."

[GiglameshDespair]

Shilleka grinned at someone else speaking properly.
"Mebbe yer career wen in der la'rines cos yer were shi'?"
"'Oo wa' it 'oo go' seen, now?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Jog on. That was bad luck - which YOU caused. You and your damn... voodoo stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if you hexed me just for a laugh."

[CrimsonEon]

Kaldach's arm dropped to his side, making a glance at Taft. Looking aside to Alaria, he asked in his gruff voice;
: "Well, any thoughts?" The words were clear, but his tone sounded like he barely restrained himself from saying 'orders'.
