Eros Cassanova

[Devon]

Eros walked the aisles of the currently empty temple, making sure everything was clean and in order. Normally this was a job for lower priests or acolytes, but he felt like keeping busy today.

[Kender Bard]

A man entered the temple - his clothing loose and flowing, almost like a robe but not quite. The material was plain and dark but a bright sash of multicolored silk stood out like a beacon around his waist. His hood was up, obscuring his face.

"May I have a word with you, sir priest?" he called out softly.

[Devon]

Eros stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the man who had just entered the temple. "Yes sir, what is it that you need to speak with me about?" he asked. Pointing to a pew, Eros said, "Go ahead and have a seat please."

[Kender Bard]

The man chuckled, as though amused by the request, and took a seat. "What are your thoughts on the Soahcian religion, sir?" he inquired.

[Devon]

Eros sat down and thought about the question. "Well, from what I've read since I've been here, Soach is a very interesting religion. There is almost a freedom to the way people are allowed to worship there."

[Kender Bard]

The man nodded and then suddenly grinned. His hood slipped back enough that Eros could see the grin as well. "Tell me, Eros Cassanova, can you keep a secret?"

[Devon]

Eros stared at the man, wondering why he was so interested in talking about Soahc, but nonetheless he nodded his head. "Yes I can keep a secret."

[Kender Bard]

The man reached up and pushed his hood back. He looked like any other ordinary man, though his blonde hair turned purple at the tips.

And his eyes were a constantly shifting sea of color.

"Good," he replied merrily. "Because if you don't I'll smite your love-happy ass."

[Devon]

Eros sat back in his seat and blinked rapidly. "Are you...are you um..Why are you here!?"

[Kender Bard]

"I'm Soahc yes," the Force stated. He leaned casually in front of the pew in front of him and grinned at Eros. "Let's see, where to start.... Tell me do you know anything about the Black Swan?"

[Devon]

"I've heard some of the rumors about the Black Swan," Eros replied. "A person blessed by Taed to deliver death or something along those lines." Eros tried to keep himself calm as he sat in front of a Force.

[Kender Bard]

"Close enough," Soahc agreed. "Did you know that there's a White Swan now? An upstart mortal who got more than he bargained for, though I guess he sort of likes it now. My sister is fond of him." He winked. "Very fond. Guess what he does as his duty."

[Devon]

"I'm guessing he saves lives as the White Swan," Eros said. "And from the way you keep talking about how fond Efil is of him, maybe a little more than that is his job."

[Kender Bard]

Soahc laughed at that. "You're quick. That's good. Now we're getting to the heart of the matter. I've watched you. Seen what you do with that flower-dust. Did you know I made those flowers? I'm so glad someone appreciates them and puts them to good use. I'd like you to keep putting them to use. I suppose we could say I'm asking you to be my swan, but swans are becoming a bit too numerous. And what color would I give you? I like them all. Maybe I'm asking if you'll be my multicolor crow."

[Devon]

Eros considered the offer that was brought before him. The last time he had used the dust he nearly got beaten by the royal family, still it was a fun experience for him and lately consoling people in dealing with their love lives was becoming a bit boring. "A multi-colored crow," he murmured. "all right, I'd like to help you."
