Shas Tarry smiles at Roysia Stone.
Roysia Stone: ... Do they ever forget them?
Shas Tarry shakes her head. "Forget them? No. They're apart o' me, always will be."
Roysia Stone: I guess so. Live and learn, right? Well, I ask your guidance any way you can offer.
Shas Tarry: "I'm here ta help, Rose. In anyway tha' I can."
Roysia Stone: Thank you, Shas. I really do appreciate it.
Roysia Stone: When will we be having those lessons on anger control?
Shas Tarry laughs at Roysia Stone.
Shas Tarry: "I'm thinkin' after th' holidays are over. Take th' time to enjoy yerself."
Shas Tarry: "It won' be easy. Th' things I learned was when I was a little girl, so it will take time."
Roysia Stone: Bah. Far too much work for 'enjoying yourself'... *She grinned, winking before looking forward.* Guess it's over. Might as well be social a bit. A little girl?
Shas Tarry nods. "Aye, I was taught a lot o' things when I was younger...."
Roysia Stone: Please tell me you're not going to be teaching me like a five year old..
Shas Tarry laughs softly. "Oh no, it'll be a more advanced level than that."
Roysia Stone: .. Well then, I guess I'll have to accept it any way possible. Oh, thank gods.
Roysia Stone: I didn't want to be stuck coloring a book or something silly like that.
Shas Tarry: "Jus' remember patience when it seems like ye have none."
Roysia Stone: Patience... Right. A virtue most treasured.
Roysia Stone: .. One that I really need to acquire.
Roysia Stone gazed out with a soft sigh, shaking her head after a moment. "Patience and tenderness."
Roysia Stone: Well, Shas, be safe and yell at me when you want.
Shas Tarry: "Alright, Rose. Take care out there."
Roysia Stone: You too.
Arielia Ryella: "Ah, the huntress cannot be thanked for merging thy souls. T'was fate that the huntress set together, merely."
Ciceroix Pellicier: "We have....Ameline has been accepted at Still Shores, and has just recently managed to get us a room of our own. "
Arielia Ryella: "...Ah. A property, as such. She thought a house were purchased. She were about to chortle."
Arielia Ryella: "I may visit, surely?"
Ameline Valtin nods, "Indeed, Huntress. You are always welcome, as is Miss Roysia. You shall find it most. . unadorned at the moment, but we are working on that." She chuckles.
Ciceroix Pellicier rises up to stretch a moment, yawning softly as he glances about. "so many people here...perhaps a chance to mingle? "
Arielia Ryella: "...Mingle?"
Ameline Valtin looks up to Ciceroix, "Be free, social bird. I will not keep you any longer pinned to this spot."
Ciceroix Pellicier: "I'm afraid not sir....should likely move, lest we get in the way I suppose.."
Arielia Ryella leaned over so as to wrap her arms around Ameline, pulling her into a sudden embrace as soon as Ciceroix left her. It was tight, and the huntress had evidently stifled her laughter as she did so.
Ameline Valtin smiled warmly, returning the embrace. "And what of you, Huntress? It seems that I always seem to spy you in transit from one locale to another. Is there some place you lay your head at night?"
Arielia Ryella: "Eorzea," Arie responded simply, her tone matter-of-fact. "...She needn't swear allegiance - even in residence - to any of the three city-states, hmn? Ishgard, naturally, off-limits for... evident reasons."
Arielia Ryella: "Now, if she shall speak of a room, of sorts, then... Ul'dah, loosely."
Ameline Valtin offers a cagey grin, "Forgive me, but that seems far too mundane for the likes of you. Tis indeed difficult for me to fathom you resting your head on the stained linens at the Quicksand." She laughed in jest.
Arielia Ryella: "Hah! 'twixt her lips, doth the truth resonate! As though a huntress of this caliber would choose the /Quicksand/ of all places!"
Ameline Valtin: "Ah, and now we cut to the core of it. It would seem she has a clandestine hideaway deep within the belly of the desert jewel. Are mortals allowed entry to such a place?"
Roysia Stone: Only mortals whom possess no soul.
Arielia Ryella seemed mildly amused as she pursed her lips thoughtfully, with her eyes turned upon Roysia. They echoed her light-hearted demeanor.
Arielia Ryella: "Effervescent must the physical incarnation be, t'would seem."
Ameline Valtin looked up to Rose, "Ah, so you have had the distinct honor of knowing secrets shared between few! My curiosity burns!"
Roysia Stone: I believe I'll have to hunt down a dictionary if you keep talking such. Heh, I know as many secrets as the next perceptive woman, I'm sure.
Arielia Ryella: "Ah, when you spread the dictionary, glance for the term 'wonderful'. Surely, her name will be beside it."
Roysia Stone gently nudged Arie with a boot, her smile turning to a lopsided smirk. "You've always had the most flowery way of flirting." She snickered, looking up to the line.
Ameline Valtin smiled warmly between the two. "Ah, but I must find dear Ciceroix before I find him attached to a woodland harlot!"
Arielia Ryella: "Ah, such cannot occur! Off with thee. Shoo!"
Arielia Ryella: "With haste, Ms. Ameline!"
Ameline Valtin rocks up to her feet and scans the horizon for the Elezen man.
Arielia Ryella released Ameline from the embrace, nodding her head.
Roysia Stone: A warm farewell, Ms. Ameline. Do not let us hold you!
Arielia Ryella: "It would seem the huntress the only remaining upon the ground, save the attraction..."
Arielia Ryella: "Unique, yes?"
Roysia Stone rolled her eyes. "You're unique in far more ways than that, hun..." She moved to the side, offering a hand down to Arie with a smile. "Up on your feet, yes?"
Arielia Ryella grasped the hand, curling her palms into it as she pulled her lengthy figure to its feet.
Roysia Stone gently pats Arielia Ryella.
Arielia Ryella: "Will she have her fortune told?"
Arielia Ryella: "She will? Fantastic!"
Roysia Stone: I believe not. You know my issue with 'fat--
Roysia Stone: ...
Arielia Ryella reached out to forcefully grasp Roysia's arm, tugging her into the line.
Roysia Stone: This is one of those moments you amuse and infuriate me.
Roysia Stone said it light heartedly, moving to stand beside Arie.
Arielia Ryella: "'Tis why I am endearing," she said, her front teeth bared, if only a little.
Roysia Stone: You will get your future read. I believe little in it, though it's fun to listen anyways.
Arielia Ryella: "The huntress, too, tells the future. We shall simply see if hers is credible, yes?"
Roysia Stone rolled her eyes, moving to nudge Arie. "You be cautious with your ego. What if your fortune is wrong, mm?~ You recall our conversation, how each of us shape our own destinies. Althyk just determines the order of the events."
Arielia Ryella returned the hip-check with a smirk striking her lips, standing tall so as to gaze over the crowd. Of course, were it not for Oscare, mayhap she would see to the end.
Arielia Ryella: "She doth nary possess this 'ego'..."
Arielia Ryella: "Doth nary... eh..."
Arielia Ryella: "Hardly eloquent. Ehm. Yes."
Roysia Stone: Had to leave it at home?
Arielia Ryella: "...Your home," she mumbled.
Roysia Stone: I can't even complain about that comeback.
Arielia Ryella: "...Thy soul shall merge with me ego. When they date... oh gods..."
Roysia Stone: Oh no. You keep your ego away from mine, yours will devour me whole.
Arielia Ryella: "Thy soul, Roysia, thy soul!"
Roysia Stone: 'Thy soul' is on a beach still, perhaps drowning by now since I lack the ability to swim.
Roysia Stone: Don't step on th--
Arielia Ryella stumbled backwards as she stepped on the little carbuncle, glancing down at it with an apologetic stare.
Roysia Stone: Arie... Don't step on the carbuncle..
Arielia Ryella: "You tell her that after you force her to step upon it. Hmn."
Roysia Stone: To my right then.~
Arielia Ryella hip-bumped Roysia playfully, as if threatening to cause her to topple over onto it.
Roysia Stone grasped onto Arie, eyes widening a moment before they narrowed onto her Elezen companion. "If you make me accidently hurt it, I'll feed you to a morbol."
Arielia Ryella leaned her weight into Roysia. Not enough to topple over, but enough to cause her to at least lean to the side. With a glint in her gaze, she spread her lips into a smile. "Threat, or promise?"
Arielia Ryella relented immediately as she pulled Roysia straight, taking a step to the side, and pulling her along. "Come. Let us leave the adorable creation."
Roysia Stone returned the hip-check before grumbling playfully. "Always pushin' me round. Should've come in plate... Threat."
Arielia Ryella leaned in, so as to murmur quietly, having to stoop forward to accommodate Roysia's height.
Roysia Stone went silent, eyes forward as she heard Leanne's question.
Roysia Stone muttered, softened eyes moving to Arie as she shook her head. An arm moved to wrap around Arie's waist, her sigh gentle as she looked forward once more to Oscare. Nice slops, she thought.
Arielia Ryella returned the arm around Roysia's waist, leaning in so as to respond with a downcast gaze.
Roysia Stone: Oh gods no!
Arielia Ryella: "But it is what you claimed you sought!"
Arielia Ryella: "...Was it a figure-of-speech?"
Roysia Stone: Figure of speech, figure of speech! I just want someone to explain, geez..
Arielia Ryella: "...I mean, we could..."
Roysia Stone sees Arielia Ryella and blushes with embarrassment.
Arielia Ryella: "...Eventually?"
Roysia Stone: No. No, no.
Roysia Stone: Let's just.. Get our fortune read.
Arielia Ryella: "I am wonderful at convincing you indirectly, sweet."
Roysia Stone rubbed the back of her neck with her free hand, clearing her throat as a blush built up. "I swear to the gods I'm going to tie you up and drop you off in the swamp.."
Arielia Ryella: "At least the huntress will swim to safety.~"
Roysia Stone: Pft, don't tease me. I'm a real sailor, I don't need to know how to swim.
Arielia Ryella: "You do not own a boat, Roysia."
Arielia Ryella: "Thus, you require swimming lessons."
Roysia Stone: ... Not yet.
Arielia Ryella: "...Cap'n Roysia III..."
Roysia Stone: I always preferred to be First Mate Rose, really.
Roysia Stone: Let someone else take on being the captain..
Arielia Ryella: "...She does hope she wouldn't expect the huntress to mount such a boat..."
Roysia Stone: You can be in the crow's nest, Arie.
Arielia Ryella: "We shall have to seek a crow that builds its nest upon the dry land, then."
Roysia Stone: To be the First Mate though is to control the boat whilst the Captain sits in the back and depends on you. I feel it's where the real action takes place... Hah!
Roysia Stone: You'll wake up one day with the sea beneath your boots, I promise. Then you can't kill me until we get to shore.~
Roysia Stone: I--
Roysia Stone paused as she heard the fortune, eyes slowly moving towards the teller.
Arielia Ryella's gaze slowly turned upon Iskierka, her eyes set upon her with a pursed lips. Something somber stole Arie's demeanor as she released Roysia's waist, inclining her head with a quiet sigh.
Roysia Stone kept silent after, moving onto the rock. Her eyes moved to her boots, her arms crossing now that they were free.
Roysia Stone: Reminds me... My cousins ransacked the estate when they heard of the deaths. I need to buy some more furniture..
Arielia Ryella: "...Mayhap we may endeavor to shop for... furniture? Change the lock, most likely."
Roysia Stone: They were entitled to a bit. Pop's put it in his will..
Roysia Stone sighed gently, raising a hand to rub at the bridge of her nose. "I just need a bit of time and some more lumber.."
Arielia Ryella: "...Then, the huntress shall gather such," she said with a quiet little nod.
Roysia Stone bumped into Arie gently, shaking her head.
Roysia Stone: Worry not on it. Just give me some company.
Arielia Ryella remained idle as she were bumped, balancing well, as she turned her curious gaze upon her. She soon spread her lips into a smile.
Arielia Ryella: "'Tis an order, Sweet?"
Arielia Ryella was obviously joking.
Roysia Stone: Heh, if only I had the rank..
Iskierka Stormspeaker: Next?
Roysia Stone nudged Arie gently before moving forward, offering Iskierka a bow. She straightened, looking to Arie.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: How can I help, miss?
Roysia Stone: I've no specific question, so much as wanting to know what will be in my future?
Iskierka Stormspeaker shuffles her cards, and fans them out in front of her. "Pick a card, ma'am."
Roysia Stone didn't hesitate before raising her left hand to tap the one second to the end.
Iskierka Stormspeaker looks down at the cards. "It appears you've drawn two! How interesting!"
Roysia Stone: Interesting indeed...
Roysia Stone 's eyebrows furrowed a moment before she shrugged it off, clearing her throat as she looked to the woman with curious steel eyes.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: The Fool and The Chariot.
Roysia Stone: Ohoho, should've seen the Fool coming.
Arielia Ryella glanced up towards Roysia. There was no expression present, save a neutral gaze.
Roysia Stone: I'm unfamiliar with the Chariot however..
Iskierka Stormspeaker: The Chariot symbolizes victory.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: I think you've got a lot to look forward to, friend.
Roysia Stone paused a moment, seeming to think on that. After a moment, she gave a small nod, bowing. "I pray you're right, Madam Teller. Thank you."
Roysia Stone muttered as she shook her head, looking towards the swamp. "The Fool and the Chariot.."
Iskierka Stormspeaker: Next?
Arielia Ryella remained idle a while, snapping from her thoughts as her heeled boots stalked forward, 'til she stood before Iskierka. She seemed to examine her, awhile.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: How can I help you, friend?
Arielia Ryella: "Premonition shall grant thee knowledge of the unseen, mayhap. Shall we begin with her future?"
Iskierka Stormspeaker: Whose? The lady before you?
Arielia Ryella blinked, before she set her hand atop her chest. "Nay. Hers. The huntress' future, Ms."
Roysia Stone: She speaks in third person sometimes.
Roysia Stone called it out for the fortune teller, glancing over her shoulder.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: Ah!
Iskierka Stormspeaker shuffles her cards and spreads them out before Arielia Ryella. "Pick one, ma'am."
Arielia Ryella twirled her wrist, 'afore she grasped the card directly in the middle. She tugged it at, though, she then retracted her grasp, until she reached out for the one directly beside it.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: The Hermit... you... may not want to leave your bed tomorrow.
Roysia Stone: ...
Roysia Stone beams with delight.
Roysia Stone 's grin was a slow one, but she couldn't help it. She glanced over her shoulder towards Arie, eyes mischievous.
Iskierka Stormspeaker: Just lay there. Have someone bring you tea. And pie.
Arielia Ryella simply stared at the fortune teller with a blank stare. One. Two. Her jaw fell slack as her lips parted. Without a word, Arie turned towards Rose, eyes wide as she grasped at her forearm, patting it. "Roysia..."
Arielia Ryella: "...T'would seem this 'day off' hath been ordained..."
Roysia Stone gently tugged her arm free, calling out a thank your for Arie's sake before she wrapped her arm around the woman's waist. "I'll keep you company."
Arielia Ryella squinted at Roysia. "Art thou a fortune teller, as well?" She grinned, even as the arm wrapped about her, and she leaned in to murmur.
Roysia Stone: Never mistake perception for a mystic power, darlin'.
