The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"Yes, especially to your dear Queenie," Canderella smirks, "My my, how are things going there? Whispers and gossip surely haven't forgotten the two of you, but I've been indisposed."

[Nephrite]

"Ah... she has her duties, I have mine. I suppose I should go see her after this." Moore admits. "I don't want to cause her trouble."

[Anastasia]

"You are, without any doubt, a man." Canderella rolls her eyes, "You don't cause a woman who likes you trouble by spending time with her. Well, except the family type of trouble, but that's only a problem if you mind being marched to the altar once she starts to show."

[Nephrite]

"Ah... that's..." Moore clears his throat. "That's not something that's going to be in the immediate future. Regardless, yes, I understand your point. I'll go see her -- but she wasn't the one with her soul trapped or whatever it is that happened. I think she'll understand if I keep you company a little while longer."

[Anastasia]

Canderella smiles and tsks, "Careful, she might get the wrong idea if she years you saying sweet things like that to me. Please don't make me have throw lightning at Ilsenine."

[Nephrite]

"Elena can be the witness that I meant it in the most platonic way possible." Moore says with a smile. "Besides, aren't you interested in a certain gold dragon?"

[Anastasia]

"I'm interested in many things," Canderella replies, "Though I will be checking in on Gold once I'm out of bed."

[Nephrite]

"You could just say you're dating, you know." Moore says with a grin. "Or is it ~taboo~."

[Anastasia]

"We haven't gone that far yet," Canderella retorts, "Besides, I'm toying to try and date Hanna, just to see how Hanna and Jaela react. Of course, the problem with that is that I see axe in my future if I do."

[Nephrite]

Moore decides to leave out that the two have a common bond for the time being.

"Let me know how that one works out. Uh... well, you know, if you don't end up banished from Aurora or something." He says.

[Anastasia]

A laugh follows that, "I'm sure I'll be fine. Hanna's soft once you get past her urge to viciously murder evil."

[Nephrite]

"She's a mother at heart." Moore says with a grin. "As much as she probably is tired of being one, especially to 27."

[Anastasia]

"I'm waiting for the day 27 tries calling Jaela his sister and hoping I'm there," Canderella laughs, "That will be amazing."

[Nephrite]

"I've come to the conclusion that 27 actually knows all the truths of Creation, he just can't actually speak any of them in terms any of us understand." Moore says with a laugh himself. "Well, something like that, anyway."

[Anastasia]

"You're saying that the slaad have ultimate wisdom?" Canderella says, laughing some more.
