Cyndikate 2303 Share Posted May 2, 2012 A silvered hair dark elf rests upon a roof of a Haelun'or house. She knew she wasn't welcome in the high elf city, and she didn't care. Despite that, she'd come back whenever she pleases. She knew the high elves were a proud race, although some of them were borderline pompous. Many times the guards dealt with her, many were quick to resort to violence. Azula didn't mind that at all, in fact, she gets most of her enjoyment pestering the high elves. She knew from experience what pushes their buttons, and she was prepared to do so whenever she deals with the guards. She laid on her back, with her head resting on her crossed arms. The warmth of the sun, and the gentle breeze from the east soothed her. She enjoyed the city's beauty, and appreciated the architectural structure of Haelun'or.

Distuth 69 Share Posted May 2, 2012 "You'd think you'd have learned from the first time." Distuth said, leaping to catch the edge of the rooftop. With a grunt, the wood elf pulled himself up onto the roof, his platemail loudly clanking against the colored stone. He immediately rolled to the side, one arm lashing out to block the expected blow. Oddly enough, it never came. Distuth blinked, and looked at the dark elf, who hadn't moved during the entire event. Probably not an assassin, then. Any assassin would have taken his apparent moment of vulnerability while climbing the roof. Unless...Unless the dark elf knew how Distuth used armor. If they'd been spying on him previously, they may have noticed his methods of deflection with it. They might just be waiting for him to turn his back. They were going to be disappointed. Distuth never turned his back on a possible threat. "So." Distuth said, forcing the suspicion from his voice. "Why are you here again? They nearly killed you the last time." Distuth's face was set into a welcoming smile, made simple enough by the centuries of practice. It'd take a rather attentive individual to notice the forced edges of it. He knew. He'd practiced to make sure of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Azula opened one of her eyes and turned to the sound of the clanking armor. It was the man to tried to save her the other night. He didn't appear to want to start trouble. She gave him a friendly smile. "Is it a crime to come and go as I please? I simply wish to appreciate this beautiful city. I'm not concerned about those guards, they pose no threat me. It's not like they can kill me anyway." Azula yawns and looks up at the sky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuln 265 Share Posted May 2, 2012 A gold haired Máli'Ahèral walked past the pair on the roof, she looked up at the noise of steel platemail above her. Her deep blue eyes searched for the source of the sound, they focused on the dark elf and the wood elf. A smile ran over her pretty face and she started climbing to the roof. Her dark blue robes flowed behind her as she reached the top and she raised her white hand in a greeting. "Karin'ayla lliran, what brings you to Haelun'or?"

Cyndikate 2303 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Azula raised a brow upon noticing the girl. She appeared friendly, and didn't appear to be the type to want to stir up trouble with her. Nonetheless, she returned the grin and chuckled. "I simply came to appreciate a beautiful day in such a beautiful city." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distuth 69 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Distuth eyed the dark elf, a frown starting to crease his face despite his best efforts. This was not rational behavior. It didn't fit. No reasonable person would deliberately put their life at risk for a simple bask in the sun. So, that couldn't be the real reason. The dark elf was hiding something. It was the only thing that made sense. And the fact that the elf just happened to roost at Haelun'or suggested her true purpose. Spying. And if Spies were being set on Haelun'or...It wasn't too much of a stretch to assume they'd develop at Ceru too. Distuth's brow burrowed deep between his eyes as he thought. After a moment, he realized, with a start, that he was still being watched. He quickly reapplied the false smile. A little information would do good. He'd just have to ask carefully. "So," He said, keeping his voice bright and perhaps just slightly too cheerful "What brings you to Haelun'or, rather then another city? Haelun'or is grand in its way, but other cities can match it. What makes Haelun'or special?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Azula turned to Distuth when he asked that. "Why not? This city doesn't seem as dull as the other places I've been in. I've been to many places, Normandor, Solace, Renatus, and Menocress, anywhere, you name it. They've all been a bore." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distuth 69 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Distuth frowned. Not exactly what he'd expect a spy to say. This one was either very bad in their field of work, or very good. "Is that because no one there has tried to murder you? That isn't exactly a healthy attitude to cultivate." He said, his frown appearing on his face once more. "And what about Alras? I've heard its lovely there. And you're rather less likely to be executed." Distuth glanced back towards the rest of the city. No real attention had been directed at this rooftop yet, but it was only a matter of time. Spy or not, the dark elf didn't deserve a sword through the gut. Well. Probably not. He knew little about the elf. Maybe they did. But more to the point, Distuth didn't want to spend another night in the badly locked jail cell the high elves used. The last occasion had likely created a rather fierce enemy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyndikate 2303 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Azula sighed. "Why do you care so much for my safety? It's not like any of the goons could touch me with their blades anyway. And yes, I've been to Alras, nothing special about it either. " She sat up and pulled out an apple. "By the way, wood elf. I appreciate your so called heroic efforts, but it wasn't necessary.

Yuln 265 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yuln smiled to the dark elf, nodding. "I think more people should be able to see Haelun'or, I understand that my superiors dont want non-high elves in the city, but I think its a shame." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distuth 69 Share Posted May 3, 2012 "To be quite honest, I don't. My actions weren't to safeguard you." Distuth said, dropping all pretense of friendly nature. "Haelun'or is not well regarded in Asulon. The last thing they need is a reputation for murdering those who sit outside their city. My actions were for the sake of the High Elves, nothing more. But now, you've returned. Not the action of a rational being. Unless that being has a job to fulfill." Distuth crouched down, watching the dark elf's collarbone. Any aggressive movement would start there. "So then. Who exactly sent you here?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuln 265 Share Posted May 3, 2012 "how were your actions for the sake of us, Máli'Ahèral?" Yuln asked, trying to figure out where he was talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugarthecougar 57 Share Posted May 3, 2012 *Eryndir watches down from the street level, eying the other Mali'Ker and listening to the three elves talking.* "If I have to deal with Distuth in a High Elven cell again because of this I might start losing my hair.. My.. Kin.. Can be quite mischievous." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distuth 69 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Distuth didn't turn to address the high elf. If the Dark elf attacked, he wanted to be ready. "I just explained it. If you gain a reputation for killing outsiders, then sooner or later, you'll have an army at your doorstep before long. And I don't think either of us wants to see Haelun'or destroyed."

Cyndikate 2303 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 Azula bit off a piece of an apple and looked down at the three high elves. "Who sent me? No one sent me. " Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
