Muirfinn's diary (Moore)

[Nephrite]

"Hm... I wonder who it is... I doubt it's Sune herself, but... then again, it's entirely possible, I suppose, considering." Moore reasons. "Did you use it much?" He turns to her, a small grin forming.

[Anastasia]

"Only to make an impression," Ilsenine admits, "I've always preferred to fly, moreso now."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles, then looks a bit more serious for a moment. "It must be difficult -- the weight of royalty. You bear it well, but... ...may I make an admission?"

[Anastasia]

Ilsenine nods quietly as you hover over the scene, seeing the wheel fixed and the carriage traveling off. The crowd gives a little cheer and parts for it.

[Nephrite]

"I don't know that I'd be able to keep up with it." He says with a turn to look at the crowd parting. "I'm good at motivating people, but I'm not sure that I have the regal requirements."

[Anastasia]

"Being a royal is all about appearances. Most provide the rest themselves," Queen Ilsenine remarks quietly.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and laughs a little. "Ah, a play within a play. What an interesting way of looking at it. Ah, but let us continue our own scene, shall we?" He smiles and continues to fly along.

[Anastasia]

With that the two of you go on.

Flying above head level mitigates most distractions. You soon come to a temple, an elegant building of marble and pillars. It has a roof of heatless flames that dance in the sunlight. People come and go from it regularly, often couples arm in arm.

[Nephrite]

"I wonder how many marriages they see here every day." Moore says as he starts to head down. "I'm not entirely sure what we're looking for, but I know we'll know it when we find it."

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Queen Ilsenine agrees thoughtfully as you land. The front is open space, leading into the proper building. Here are soft couches where people sit and talk, or alternately snuggle. The smell of oils and incense fill the air. Courre eladrin and little cherubs fly about, bringing treats to those who rest here.

[Nephrite]

Well, someone has to be in charge around here... right? Moore decides to simply head forward for now.

[Anastasia]

The warm buzz of conversation.

The scent of oil and sweet smoke.

The heat of bodies and the coolness of shadows.

You walk forward, a main entrance ahead, doors wide open. But as you do, a cute little cherub flies up. A male one, wearing a toga and fluttering in the air. "Hi! Can I help you?"

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "Hello. My name is Moore, of Aurora. This is Her Majesty, Queen Illsenine of the Lifasan Aurora Court." Moore says, keeping his language very to-the-point but hopefully charming. "I realize this is a bit of an imposition, but we have a matter of great importance that we need to speak to Sune about. I understand that She will generally appear where and when she wants, but if there's any way we have to put in a request or something for an audience, I would appreciate it."

[Anastasia]

"Oh my!" The cherub does a loop-de-loop in the air, gasping. "You want to see Lady Firehair?! Oh my, this is really important! Stay here, stay here! I need a superior!"

[Nephrite]

"Oh, thank you very much." Moore says with a smile.
