Entrance to Temple Courtyard
[Exits: west up]

Ghazkull nods in recognition to her.

Aphelion raises her eyebrow.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I'm glad I've run into you today.'.

Aphelion folds her arms over her chest, leaning back against the bannister.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I mean no ill will, Aphelion. I have come to try and explain.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'I am listening.'.

Ghazkull nods.

Ghazkull looks at her.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'Firstly, I would like to say that I did not attack you for pleasure. It was out of neccessity. I have been charged with a Quest of Mastery.'.

Aphelion regards you in silence, listening.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'One of my tasks was to Cut the Threads of various creatures around the realm... Or.. Kill a Mortal Kindred.'.

Aphelion slides her tongue over her fangs from behind closed lips.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'The tasks I have been set are many and varied, I sought to avoid many of them by killing you.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'That is not a particularly large pool of individuals.'.

Ghazkull shakes his head.
Ghazkull says (in common), 'At the present time, You are the only one that has presented themselves to me while I have been in a capacity to fight.'.

Aphelion glances down at herself.
Aphelion says (in common), 'I suppose I am a bit less terrifying a choice than, say, the Eldest'.

Ghazkull snickers softly.
Ghazkull shudders from the sheer thought of it.
Ghazkull says (in common), 'Yes... The Eldest would have had me for breakfast, lunch and tea.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'Are you here to explain or to gain forgiveness and absolution?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I do not know. I did not come seeking forgiveness. I guess I came to explain my actions, and to apologize. It is not in my nature to attack people without cause, but I must complete the tasks set before me. If you choose to forgive me, Then that is good, but if you do not... Well, I cannot say that I would blame you.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'where did this quest come from?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'it was granted to me by the Lady Weaver, Cordir. By my Goddess'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'yet you have the aura of the Wyld '.

Ghazkull nods.
Ghazkull says (in common), 'Another Task of my Quest is to serve the Wyld for 3x3x3 days.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'You worshipped Cordir when you attacked? And did so at her command?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I was commanded to kill a Mortal Kindred and the Quest was given to me by Her and the Wyldess.'.

Aphelion considers.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'So I suppose you could say that I was ordered to.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'I am a soldier. I am commanded in war to take lives. As are those who stand opposed against me. I bear them no ill will. If your act was one by Command then I consider you as I would a fellow soldier on the other side of the field, and bear you no ill will'.

Ghazkull nods in recognition to you.

Aphelion says (in common), 'that said, if you want _my_ forgiveness... I ask a demonstration of good faith'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I did not ask for forgiveness, the actions were mine. I accept the responsibility of them. But I will do what I must to demonstrate my good faith.'.

Aphelion nods upwards. "Trust me."

Lower Temple Courtyard
[Exits: north east south west up down]

Ghazkull nods in recognition to her.

Aphelion steps close, her height a match to his. She lets her breath play over his skin.

Aphelion says (in common), 'don't. Move.'.

Aphelion pauses to see if he will stop her.

Ghazkull stands resolute, a curious look on his face.

Aphelion tilts her head to one side and bares her fangs, leaning close to barely close - but not pierce - on his throat.

Ghazkull stiffens slightly but remains in position.

Aphelion lets him feel her fangs on his pulse of a single heartbeat's time.

Aphelion nods in recognition to him.
Aphelion leaves down.

[Exits: west up]

Ghazkull nods.

Aphelion says (in common), 'I would not have ill will between those who are .. in some regard .. family'.

Ghazkull steadies himself as the Angel starts jumping gleefully up and down on his shoulder.
Ghazkull mutters, 'Now is _not_ the time, Wyldling'

Ghazkull's head twitches slightly as the angel tugs on his hair.
Ghazkull's head twitches slightly as the Angel leans in to whisper something in his ear.

Ghazkull whispers something to the tiny angel, who responds with a sharp kick to the side of his head!
Ghazkull winces. Ouch!

Ghazkull mutters, 'Later, we shall.'

Ghazkull turns back to the Kindred, 'I apologise, My... Guide, can be a little restless.

Raage ftells, 'greets'.

Raage arrives from the west.
Raage leaves west.

Raage ftells, 'what's going on?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'Seems I am popular'.

Ghazkull covers his ears as the angel cackles Wyldly!

Raage says (in common), 'waiting for a mob?'.

Ghazkull shakes his head.

Raage looks at Aphelion.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I was... Making reparations for my actions'.

Raage nods.
Raage says (in common), 'well then...enjoy'.

Raage leaves west.

Aphelion ftells, 'sorry was afk for work'.

Ghazkull nods.

Aphelion glances at the restless creature on his shoulder.

Aphelion ftells, 'he attacked me a few days ago'.
Aphelion ftells, 'and was explaining why'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'what is her name?'.
Aphelion says (in common), 'and what is her nature?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I do not know her name, She has not told me...'.

Ghazkull admits, 'Although I have never asked'

Aphelion says (in common), 'Have you asked?'.
Aphelion snickers softly.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'as for her nature, she appears to be Wyld. She is constantly whispering ideas to me to help me understand the Wyld. She and my Bonded do not get on.'.

Aphelion absentmindedly toys with one of her fangs with her tongue as some sort of pondering.

Aphelion says (in common), 'Hm. I haven't ever seen such a creature, but being bound to law ... I haven't much truck with the Wyld '.

Ghazkull chuckles, evidently amused.
Ghazkull says (in common), 'Neither had I, a... gift from the Archmage while I am on my Quest.'.

Aphelion says (in common), 'Archmage?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'Belsambar. A title given to him by my Bonded.'.

Aphelion coughs to cover a chuckle.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I have heard him named it so much by her that it kinda stuck with me'.
Ghazkull shrugs.

Aphelion says dryly, "Belsambar." She nods slightly, evidently amused.

Aphelion says (in common), 'to whom are you Bound?'.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'Almond?'.
Ghazkull coughs.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'I mean..'.
Ghazkull says (in common), 'Samiyah is her name, She is the Desert Bard.'.

Aphelion raises her eyebrow.
Aphelion appears to recognize the name.

Ghazkull says (in common), 'Almond is my... pet name for her.'.
Ghazkull blushes.

Aphelion says (in common), '..Venom has spoken of her.'.

Ghazkull scowls in distaste at the name.

Aphelion chuckles.
Aphelion says (in common), 'a common reaction'.

Ghazkull nods.

Aphelion bows with military precision.
