Sorry for my recent absence, I had a hot date.

The duke frowns. "Not that I know of, but then again, if the distraction was successful, I wouldn't know, would I? I will see what I can dig up." Archibald takes Allia aside to speak privately for a moment.

Sir Vincent scratches his chin for a moment, before answering. "Despite their fine accoutrements, they did not seem to be particularly skilled. Perhaps they were new recruits?" Archibald smiles in response to your question. "I am but an observer, my lady, a set of eyes and a pair of ears...

:cool: I can neither confirm nor deny that.

"I think it wise" the duke says, staring after Lady Rousseau. "To start with the assassin's target. You should speak with Arianna. " Lady Eona looks to Reana, her golden eyes unnerving. "If any of you are wondering why I am helping you, Two weeks ago, a high ranking member of the Elidrin was...

Thanks for your honesty. I Can see how the way I set up events lead to your character sort of being shafted,(And not in the good way.) and I'm sorry about that. I should have set it up better. However, I do want to address two of your points. I can understand how it would seem that way, but...

"Well," The elf begins. "Time to get down to business. The duke's daughter has been attacked by assassins. We want you five to find out who sent them. Now, a few ground rules. one: Secrecy is of the utmost importance. If word of this attack gets out, Maran would be thrown into turmoil. two: Do...

Both of you keep your heads in the face of his attempt at charming you. That's fine. you can still choose to like him, you are just not required to.

Archibald, seemingly quite a mirthful man, chuckles yet again. "Oh no my dear, I am no lord. Just Archibald will do." Then, turning to Allia, his voice thick with false severity, he says: "I assure you my lady, I never speak unless it is absolutely necessary" He holds his stern expression for a...

"I ask because you seem to think I would invite you out here and share information of an extremely sensitive nature with you, all for no good reason, because, as you said, you had nothing to do with it. Surely only a fool would do such a thing, no? So I ask again, do you think me a fool?"

The duke smiles warmly, but when he speaks, his voice is cold. "Lady Taerin, do you think me a fool?"

Sir Vincent nods and moves back a few steps. The old man chuckles and rises to his feet. His height is impressive, nearly matching sir Vincent's. "Look at this one Eona! Quite the firebrand!" His eyes twinkle with mischief. "I think you should answer her, lady Taerin. She doesn't seem the...

You did not see Sir Vincent cross the room, but the very moment your rapier leaves it's sheath, his hand is around your sword-arm's wrist, his fingers like bands of iron. "My Lady, now is not the time. Put your blade away, or you will answer to me." He says, his voice very calm.

The duke shakes his head, his expression grim. "My eldest daughter, Arianna, was attacked in her quarters."
