[ CLOSED ] Scarce the blessing from on high

WHO: Byerly, Flint, Madi, Silver
WHAT: A Princess Returns From The Dead
WHEN: mid-August
WHERE: Kirkwall/The Gallows
NOTES: Bad news from Nascere is followed a week or so later by an unexpected arrival.







Two things, all the world among,
Help the lover to attain
All that doth to Love belong:
E’en desire the good to gain,
Hope that makes the coward strong.
Both within my bosom lay.
No, ‘twas in my stricken soul
That they lurked to take away
My desire to reach the goal.
Hope hath fled and will not stay.

[ There are a few things about this that are interesting. Foremost among them is that the woman is asking for Captain Flint, not Commander. Another one: that this woman carries herself like a personage. Byerly would, of course, help under any circumstances; these, however, make his help grow a little less out of duty and a little more out of curiosity.

So he offers the woman a bow (graceful, with just the right degree of respect due to someone like this) and says: ]


I am headed to the office adjacent to his. May I escort you?

Ambassador Byerly, Lord Rutyer.

[ Straightening: ]

And yours?
bouchonne: (amused)

In a manner of speaking.

[ He offers her his arm, gallant as any cavalier. ]

We are Riftwatch now. A daughter organization, of sorts, after breaking with the Inquisition.
bouchonne: (hmmm?)

Is the Chantry not mother to us all?

[ He touches his lips, seeming for all intents and purposes perfectly devout. ]
bouchonne: (drunken pontificating)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-08-07 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
We have multiple sources of income. But the Chantry is not our primary one.
bouchonne: (droll)

Scarcely.

[ His voice is easy. ]

Our work is largely to care for rifts. Ensure they do not wreak havoc upon the countryside. Humble work, nothing like the grandeur of an Exalted March.

Sometimes, a person will catch a shard of something in their hand.

[ He turns his own hand upwards - it's devoid of any mote, but all he has to illustrate. ]

It gives them a relationship with rifts.

Those without anchor shards?

[ His expression is pleasantly guileless. ]
bouchonne: (considering)

hmmm I did not receive this tag, suspicious, dreamwidth

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-08-08 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, they all have those shards, too.

[ He wiggles his fingers. ]

They are a great asset in saving the common folk.

Is Nascere where you hail from, madame?
bouchonne: (attentive)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-08-09 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hmmmmm. ]

Do tell.
bouchonne: (considering)

[personal profile] bouchonne 2020-08-09 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Largely what I have learned from Captain Flint.

[ And, you know, a number of intelligence reports. Those have helped, too. ]
