[NPC] Bresilykian Emissaries

[ironwood]

Characters: Bresilykian Emissaries + Foreigners
Date: Month of February, after Tu Vishan leaves Evidet's shores.
Location: Anywhere in Keeliai, or outside the city
Situation: Catch-all post for talking with the emissaries. Please specify location and the NPC when tagging in.
Warnings/Rating: None yet.
NOTE: Descriptions and habits of the five emissaries can be found in the Feb Itinerary post.

Having received the requisite permissions from the various factions in Keeliai, and after communicating with the capital citydome of Lichoyras, the five ambassadors seem perfectly willing to dedicate themselves to being on Tu Vishan for the foreseeable future. When it's explained in no uncertain terms to them that the Great Turtle is not presently in control of his own movements -- that only chance brought it to Evidet and who only knew when they might be back? -- the emissaries will assure that they've been made aware, and that they're here of their own accord.

In the meantime, they'll have split into their own routines of exploring the city, gathering information, and investigating the Foreigners who capture their attention.

All the syllables, but not the breath between the two words; still, Robert's smile broadens at the attempt, and he seems genuinely appreciative of the effort. "Robert's fine," he adds, pulling back his hand once he has the chance. "You've got quite a grip, Eiryam." Not a painful one, but he certainly hand't been expecting it.

He really should stop doing that. Expecting anything, that is. "A few months- there's a few others who have been here for years. But long enough to miss home, at least- there's a saying about not really knowing what you have until it's gone, if you've heard of it."

Eiryam laughed a little when Robert commented on his grip, releasing it sheepishly. "Robert," he echoed. "Yes, marvelous. Even a few months on the Great Turtle must be quite a learning experience," he said. "Don't tell Nandzinra, I'm certain she's around here somewhere, but I really hope we get to stay in Keeliai for quite a while. If she had her way, we'd all be back in Bresilyk tomorrow. Oh, she's good at what she does... but she doesn't like being away from Lichoyras. She has some quite young grandchildren there, you see."

Robert's smile falters for all of a moment, before he recovers; it may very well have been just a trick of the eye. "Really, now? You all have already had a few other groups you work with? I'd just gotten used to this turtle being everything, and you don't know how good it is know the world is far, far bigger than I'd feared.

"Besides," he goes on to say, "she'll have a few new stories to tell them, by the time she gets home."

[cherrywood]

"Won't we all!" Eiryam agreed animatedly, missing the split second falter from the older man. "And many of the kedan have been very helpful so far. I haven't had the chance to speak with many of your Foreigners yet, so you'll have to forgive me if I'm a little excitable. From what I've heard, a great many of your native worlds have technology that far outstrips what's found on Tu Vishan... is that true?"

[pushtheboundaries]

And then that smile broadens. "I can assure you, we're at least a hundred years ahead of here where I'm from- that tram system, they're working on? Old news, in San Fransokyo." Is he bragging? Maybe a little. But, really- it's just nice to think of home.

He gestures at some of the tech on the tables. "I'm still getting used to things being primitive here...but I'm hopeful that they'll improve, given time and knowledge. And materials," he allows. "Things can be a bit tight here, as I'm sure you've noticed."

[cherrywood]

"Is it?" Eiryam smiles. "May I ask, what do your people use to get around en masse?"

The young Bresilykian man glanced back toward the table. "I don't think it's necessarily primitive," he replied. "I think it's really quite impressive, given that the kedan have not been... well, themselves, if stories are to be believed. Not to mention, magic here was more prevalent for some time, was it not?"

He nodded understandingly in regards to materials. "I imagine that will be a topic of high interest when we make our reports back to Lichoyras, the import of materials."
