[GitG] Kender

[Kender Bard]

"Then I guess difficult is the word for it," she muttered. "Any way, I was just on my way to see Flash or Saph. I need to get to Sensatia, and talk to my Aida. I think she'll believe us when we tell her what happened... Well in as far as she's able to."

[Darastrix]

"Hope nobody's landed there. Poor Thelon has enough to worry about," Dara says, thinking about her mentally unbalanced brainchild.

[Northen Light36]

North nodded in agreement as she lead the way towards the mansion. "Well look on the bright side, Dara. You might get to see Twilight after all," she pointed out. "Oh, sis, what are your signs?" Even as she asks, North spots Kender's mind sign and sighes, "Another Mind? Congratulation sis, between you and Dara, the population of the Minds just doubled."

[Darastrix]

Dara grins in response to North's comment about Twilight and glances at Kender. "Hoo boy, we'd better not run into Thelon. Even if he believes us about where we came from, he might try to get us to stay and assist with building Sensatia's population."

[Kender Bard]

Kender just shudders, but laughs even as she does so. "If Thelon gives us trouble, let me handle him. I bet I could push his buttons." She pushes up her glasses with a finger to assume the air of too-smart-for-her-own-good aura.

At the palace, a guard nods at them. "Hello ladies, what can I do for you?"

[Northen Light36]

"We need to speak to Flash Calder, please," North replies, her tone polite but firm. "As soon as he's avilable." She isn't worried Flash will refuse to see them or even that he won't believe them, and it shows in North's tone and expression. She knows her original characters. I hope.

[Kender Bard]

The guard looks at them funny, then shrugs and nods. He gets someone to cover for him and goes to inform Flash of three female visitors, with all intention of ribbing the poor man over it.

[Darastrix]

((Guard: Hey Sir Denial, there's three women outside to see you. Shall I assume you'd rather Salacia not be informed? ^_~ ))


Dara stands back behind Kender and North, trying to think if she remembers anything about Flash. Drawing mostly a blank, she crosses her arms to touch her Mind sign and sends experimentally to North.

~Flash...was he the one hooking up with Queen Salacia?~

[Northen Light36]

((LOL! My poor, long suffering Flash.))

North nods and thinks back, Yep. Although this would be so much easiler if this was his original self, not the Naruta version... She doesn't say why though and Flash arrives at that moment, with Salacia. He and North met eyes for a moment and... something... passed across Flash's face for just a second. It wasn't reconision, but something deep inside North and Flash did acknowledge each other. You don't have someone living in your head for half a lifetime without some after affects, North thinks idly. Looking Flash over, North has to struggle to resist the urge to drool. She forgot that Twilight's good looks came from both his original parents.

"I was told you wished to speak to me?" Flash asks, giving the group a questioning look. North nods.

"Yes, however if you don't mind, it's a long, rather unbelievable story and I'd rather tell it sitting down and in the company of as few people as possible," she replies. Her feet are killing her by now. Flash looks at Salaica for her opinion.

[Darastrix]

Dara blinks a bit, looking startled when she sees Flash. ~Dude, I thought he was in his forties~, she thinks to North before mentally shushing herself. She looks Flash over while North talks, feeling it's probably better if she doesn't say much. How to talk to the various Leaders and their representatives isn't exactly something she's very familiar with.

Man, he looks good for his age. Heeeey....I probably look like I'm blind with these dark glasses on. License to stare, baby, she thinks, nodding in agreement with North about explaining things sitting down.

[Kender Bard]

Kender smiles and averts her eyes from Flash, feeling a surge of mixed feelings. A blush creeps up from her neck and touches her cheeks.

Salacia, through some womanly intuition, seems to pick up on these thoughts and her hold on Flash's arm tightens just a little. "It would be impolite to let them stand out here like this, especially if the credibility of their story is in question." Unspoken was the word 'Still...'

Kender smiled to herself. She was still able to figure out what Salacia was going to say before she could say it. At least to an extent. That was so very useful. "M'lady, if nothing else, then a tale of fanciful stories, whether true or fabrication, should provide delightful entertaintment."

Salacia pratically lights up at the idea. "Then by all means, let us all go inside."

Kender idly rubbed her temple and spoke to the other two. ~Expect and audience. I have a feeling Salacia is going to tell her kids, or at least Twilight and maybe Emerald. She's been bored out of her noggin and suddenly WE'RE looking like a good way to pass the time.~

[Northen Light36]

Oh Efil... Twi... North thinks with a mental sigh. Still, insane may be a turn off for him. Bad enough she's attracted to Flash, Twi would be worse. What happened to brotherly love? she asks herself, then answers, This isn't COL. Mores the pity. He's even cuter there. Ugh! Bad thoughts. Thank the Forces Saph isn't here.

Showing no outward sign of her mental rambling, North smiles at Salacia and Flash. "Thank you both. I know you're both very busy."

"You've caught our interrest," Flash admits, giving North a grin as he leads the group inside and into a private sitting room. "Now, what's this about?" North can't answer. She's too busy melting.

Damn... He's too good at that, she manages to think.

[Kender Bard]

Kender comes to the rescue, clearing her throat, "First, I want to profess that my reasons for coming was more about getting in contact with Sensatia more than anything. I'm told you have a niece there, Luna Calder, and by association, you would be able to get us into Sensatia. I have a friend there I was going to tell this tale to, as I think she could help us or at least aid us in some fashion. But if you really want to know..."

Salacia had discreetly slipped away while Flash was taking them to their room. Now she returned with Twilight in tow. Emerald was busy guarding the King. Twilight gave a sweeping bow to the three ladies.

"Such beautiful company," he purred with a slightly raised eyebrow in the direction of Dara and a broad wink to Kender and North. "Mother you do spoil me so."

Salacia laughed and sat down, bidding her son to do the same.

[Darastrix]

Dara gives a smile at Salacia's enthusiasm, which turns into a slightly foolish grin when Kender mentions Twilight.

~I think I can deal with that,~ she replies so they both can hear her. ~Just don't expect me to speak up much. These are mostly your characters, and I feel way out of place in this part of Naruta,~ she adds as they follow Flash and Salacia inside.

It's her turn to flush when Twilight makes his entrance and speaks to his mother, and she unconsciously raises her shades to sit on top of her head to get a better look at him.

Hel-looooo, nurse!

"Flattery will get you everywhere, m'lord," she murmurs, well aware that if she didn't say SOMETHING to the man, she'd kick herself later.

[Northen Light36]

North blushes as well now. He has way too much of Flash's looks, even here, she thinks. Flash is still more attractive though. The quiet charmers are more to my taste. "Not quiet everywhere," she mutters, finding a spot to perch. Flash chuckles at that.

"We really would like to hear your story," he pushes. "I'm sure it's not as unbelievable as you claim." He gives all three girls a reassuring smile. North actually half raises a hand to her mouth to check for drool before she catches herself.

"I'm sure it is unbelievable..." she manages to say, trying to focus on how best to tell the story. "Where to start..."

"The beginning works best, I find," Flash grins.

"Riight..." North sighes. "Fine... Can you believe that there are other... worlds out there? Like this one, but also different in some ways?"
