.........*sigh*
Kai: ZZZZZZZZZZZ
*they come before him so his feet always touch life and the room brightens with his presence*
Alarye: You do not sleep.
Bhudo: I no longer sleep Elder.
Alarye: It is not wise. You must rest.
Bhudo: I have tried Elder. I no longer can. Will you join me ?
Alarye: Yes. Thank you. *watches Bhudo stroke Kai's hair* He is afraid for you.
Bhudo: With good reason. Would you like some tea?
Alarye: Your mind was vulnerable when you were attacked. I know her now.
Bhudo: Know her?
Alarye: I have stood next to her and explored her and her loves.
Bhudo: How did you find her Elder? Is she well?
Alarye: She is not well but is recovering quickly. The child is not well at all, *thoughtfully* and her energy reminds me of the Key. They were sleeping when I left them.
Alarye: Her soulgem is not there, but she is surrounded by you. You have marked her heart. Why do you not claim her? She is important to you and to us.
Alarye: Is it her familiar? *sip* He is a very strange being. I have never seen one like him, but he is harmless. *sip* At least for now. I do not understand your hesitation child. Speak to me. Of all that I care for, your men are the most silent.
Bhudo: I have decided to free her.
Alarye: *suddenly reaches out* Your hand.
Alarye: * seemingly looks at Bhudo's hand* No .......there is no madness in your line. *drops it in disgust* Why?
Alarye: You risk so much for pride? We risk all for love. Reconsider.
Bhudo: I cannot. I will not. I have named my Sword and my call has been answered. I can offer her nothing but pain and danger. She must be freed.
Alarye: Your Chehei fights for your life. You throw away his efforts. He revealed himself for you. Dared to summon me and has paid a hefty price.
Bhudo: Will you force us to answer?
Alarye. I am considering it still. She is in more danger than you know. If you make this decision, she will die.....as will her child. Your quest is honorable and noble. I will add it to my considerations.
Alarye: For now young king rest. You wil need your strength. Sometimes soulcall can be gainsaid. Reconsider. You mother does not wish to see you so soon. *leaves*
Bhudo: *whispers* I love her more than my own life.
Bhudo: I must free her. For her.
