Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Unfortunately she is forbidden to help as well'.
Villon says, 'Why is that?'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'So instead, I ask you, friend, to sit back and just listen to a tale'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'A hypothetical work'.
Aoide says (in common), 'I have sworn my forseeable future to my faith, Villon'.

Aoide says (in common), 'mouth of a thief?'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Would you believe that any gift had been rightfully won?'.
Aoide says (in common), 'or would you always wonder what had been stolen? '.
Aoide says (in common), 'It was then that I realized I can never change. Even if I did, you would always wonder if I had gone back to my thieving ways. '.
Aoide says (in common), 'Dejected, I listened to Ink prattle on about how youd surely be won over by the smooth words and shiny gifts the adventurers would bring.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Perhaps so, but would that been any less fake than my original sin?'.
Aoide says (in common), 'And then I realized his mistake. '.
Villon nods his head slowly in agreement, tears welling, but not falling.
Aoide says (in common), 'Ink assumed that as a woman, you would overlook my faults if the gift were large enough. '.
Aoide says (in common), 'And that is where the plan began. It was just a little wiggle in the back of my mind for days. Finally, it took shape. '.
Aoide says (in common), 'Your first reaction will be to recoil and run again, but hear me out.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'What I propose comes from the sincerest desire: to never again be without you. '.
Aoide says (in common), 'Instead of me giving up thieving, what if you joined me? '.
Aoide says (in common), 'I will let you choose the targets. Do you wish to avenge your people and steal from the dwarves? Rob the royalty and give their riches to the impoverishe'.
Aoide says (in common), 'impoverished*?'.
Aoide says (in common), 'No one will suspect a little elven maid.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'While they are watching me, and they surely will with my reputation, you can sneak in and steal the goods.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'It might be unconventional, but here are my gifts: your first set of black thief clothing...'.
Aoide says (in common), 'a black tunic, black gloves, and a silk headwrap to hide your fair hair.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Please, give it a thought.'.

Samiyah says firmly, 'I must ask you something, first.'
Samiyah demands to know, 'Do you TRULY love her? Because.. well.. I wrote the letter, but..'
Ink sits down and thinks deeply.
Samiyah says, 'I will not share it with you, if this is a lark or a falseness on your part!'
Ink gasps in astonishment.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'As long as we get the key, Sami'.
Samiyah says firmly, 'I do not care about the key. I care about her heart.'
Villon says, 'Samiyah...the words I have...none of them can explain my love...'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'I don't see what his intentions are as a relevant issue'.
Aoide scolds Ink.
Villon continues, 'No action can show it...'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'THE KEY! I must know whats in the chest'.
Samiyah says firmly, 'Villon, you must swear your intentions are honorable...'
Samiyah asks, 'Do you so swear?'
Aoide says (in common), 'Shush! Let's hear what Villon has to say...we all know what YOU think.'.
Villon ignores Ink and continues, 'I swear to you Samiyah, in whatever form you wish...'
Samiyah nods slowly.
Ink rolls his eyes.
Ink sits grumpily in the corner.
You say (in common), 'Very well.'.
You stop using a small druidwood shield.
You get a small black book from an egg casing.
Cresom gossips (in common), 'oh how i wish ink would let me into the circle of well what ever the hell he is doing i am bored '.
You hold a small black book in your hands.
Samiyah opens a small black book and glances again at Villon over its pages.
Samiyah reads, 'Dearest Eiren:'.
Samiyah reads, 'I admit it - I'm not always a good man. '.
Samiyah glares at Villon once more, then continues.
Samiyah reads, 'I have cheated at games of chance, I have stolen, I have poached the King's deer, '.
Samiyah reads, 'I have lied. . . But I have not ever spoken false about how I feel about you. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Like any man, my pride was hurt when you ran. '.
Samiyah reads, 'I did not follow. I should have. I have wandered since that day, always trying to find my way home -'.
Samiyah's voice softens, and you can almost hear the wistful longing in her voice, that someone might hold such thoughts.
Samiyah reads, '- but home is not a place anymore -- it is carried within you. '.
Samiyah reads, 'You have filled my days, always in the back of my mind, and filled my nights, haunting my dreams. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Without you, I am restless, seeking distraction and danger. '.
Samiyah reads, 'When we courted, I gave you a gift. Perhaps you still have it? '.
Samiyah reads, '(If so, I can only take that as a good sign!) '.
Samiyah reads, 'It was a key to a fabled treasure - because that is what you were to me. '.
Samiyah reads, 'A treasure I hoped to keep safe always. More precious than any gem I have stolen or any purse I have cut. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Yes, I know - you don't like what I do. But I'm not a bad man, I just do bad things sometimes. '.
The bard again glances at Villon over the pages of the book as she reads, her voice tinged with admonishment.
Samiyah reads, 'Perhaps with your fine example, I can do better...? '.
Samiyah reads, 'No, you're right, I probably won't walk the path of goodness, but won't you have fun trying to set me on it?'.
Samiyah reads, 'I thought long and hard on what gift I could give, that would show you my heart. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Trinkets and baubles and valuables, you might think I had stolen. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Magic - well, your people do that far better than any mortal man. '.
Samiyah reads, 'I settled on something simple: the seeds within this apple. '.
Samiyah holds aloft an apple, crimson and ripe.
Samiyah reads, 'You have no orchards of apples in your home village '.
Samiyah reads, '- I know, I wandered through the town late one night, wanting to learn this place that is so precious to you '.
Samiyah reads, 'and see if there was room for me in it - but your people do love growing things. '.
Samiyah's voice softens once more as she continues.
Samiyah reads, 'Theres a spot where one of the big trees fell that would make a good spot for a house and a garden '.
Samiyah reads, 'and an apple tree or two. That is, if you dont mind living on the ground instead of high in the air. '.
Samiyah reads, 'Perhaps the seeds of this apple can grow into something new in your world '.
Samiyah reads, 'and as they grow, the trees could be a reminder of my love and willingness to grow with you.'.
Samiyah's voice is quiet. Pleading.
Samiyah reads, 'Give me another chance.'.
Samiyah reads, 'Yours,'.
Samiyah reads, ' Villon'.
Samiyah closes the book and looks over at the thief, then tosses him the apple.
Ink's jaw drops to the floor.
Aoide says (in common), 'That was beautiful, Sami.'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'wow.'.
Villon nods to Samiyah.
Ink quietly mops up his puddle in attempts to conceal his tracks.
Ink utters the words, 'sagg xa hgruqz'.
Ink seems to walk lighter.
Ink whispers, 'Shhhhhh'.
Aoide says (in common), 'I would..any woman would love such a promise'.
Samiyah closes the book and tucks it away.
You stop using a small black book.
You put a small black book in an egg casing.
You wear a small druidwood shield as a shield.
You give an apple to Ink.
Ink puts an apple in a saddlebag.
Villon says quietly, 'Thank you Samiyah. I know...that may have been difficult.'
Samiyah nods slowly.
Villon says, 'Thank you.'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'And your last option, Villon...'.
Villon arches a brow at Ink.
Lexie's Entry
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Lexie has written a letter for you as well'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'She was unable to be here for it, so I have demanded that the bard perform it in her place'.
Aoide raises an eyebrow.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Since, after all, it is a bards duty to perform'.
Aoide says (in common), 'First: there are two bards.'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'on command.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Second: you demanded nothing.'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Shhhh'.
Aoide turns her back on Ink and addresses Villon.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'When we speak to others, we pretend I am in charge of things'.
Villon say, 'Ink...perhaps you've not listened to the words that have been said.'
Samiyah stiffles a giggle.
Aoide says (in common), 'Lexie has fallen ill. She sends this letter and asks you to consider her words.'.
Villon turns to Aoide.
Villon nods, 'Please then, continue.'
Aoide says (in common), 'My Beloved Eiren,'.
Aoide says (in common), 'I have come to see you many a time, and each time, lost the courage'.

Aoide says (in common), '(These are my words, thief. You may notice a theme. Ink should pick up on it too.('.
Aoide coughs on Ink.
Aoide says (in common), 'Each day that passes where I cannot gaze into'.
Aoide says (in common), 'your eyes, or run my hand upon your rosy cheek, is a torture I both'.
Ink scratches his head in confuse...ment?
Aoide says (in common), 'loathe and embrace as a punishment for how I have hurt you.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'I hope you can someday forgive me.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'It was only out of fear that I sent those explorers to find you and did not meet you myself. '.
Aoide says (in common), 'They did a very poor job, I hear, of conveying my words to you. Only to be expected as it is only'.
Aoide says (in common), 'right that you hear from me, and me alone. I was confident the Bards, Gheorghe'.
Aoide says (in common), 'and Samiyah, would do a beautiful job in sending my message to you. I had my'.
Samiyah blushes, and checks the position of her veil, to ensure it is modestly in place.
Aoide says (in common), 'concerns with that hound fellow, Sagan, is it? And ugh, that last girl, Lexie ...'.
Samiyah scuffs her foot on the floor, remembering her initial words.
Aoide says (in common), 'I just *knew* she would mess it up, but I felt that if you heard from so many, you would'.
Aoide says (in common), 'know how sincere I am. Please accept this gift as a modest token of my undying '.
Aoide says (in common), 'love for you.'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Eternally yours,'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Villon'.
Aoide says (in common), 'Her gift comes from your former home: the mystic wood'.

water nudges up to the face of a small cliff to the west. Sparkling pure

If this item were destroyed, don't expect it to re-appear.

Villon says, 'Aoide, I agree.'
Samiyah curtseys deeply before Aoide, still biting her lip, holding back a spill of words she daren't speak.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Villon, we will leave to give you time to gather your thoughts and present your gift to your love'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'But first'.
Villon says, 'Yes?'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'I'd like to invite you all to a dinner tomorrow evening'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'In celebration of this great day'.
Villon nods.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'Will you be able to make it, Villon?'.
Villon says, 'I shall be there my friend.'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'And perhaps bring Eiren'.
Ink coughs.
Villon says, 'I hope the adventurers will be able to make it as well.'
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'apologize...'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'to her...'.
Ink says (in sahuagin), 'for my, errr, lack of romance'.

Ink quietly mops up his puddle in attempts to conceal his tracks.
Ink utters the words, 'sagg xa hgruqz'.
Ink whispers, 'Shhhhhh'.
Aoide says (in common), 'perhaps you should just avoid Eiren completely, Ink'.
Samiyah nods firmly in agreement with Aoide.

(The End!)
