[13:50:14] Valeria V. Kyros: You.
[13:50:14] Valeria V. Kyros: Come.
[13:50:14] Valeria V. Kyros: We can speak in the keep.
[13:50:14] Cedric Kyros: Hm..
[13:50:14] Masked Wanderer: Very well, but keep an eye on your guards.
[13:50:14] Cedric Kyros: alright then see you in two irl months
[13:50:14] Valeria V. Kyros: (we'll just white)
[13:50:14] Valeria V. Kyros: (probably)
[13:51:05] Cedric Kyros: (sob
[13:51:05] Valeria V. Kyros: Now.
[13:51:05] Valeria V. Kyros: The mask, first.
[13:51:05] Masked Wanderer: Not yet. First important news.
[13:51:56] Masked Wanderer: Celeana is going to have a child.
[13:51:56] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[13:51:56] Valeria V. Kyros: Oh boy.
[13:51:56] Masked Wanderer: With me.
[13:51:56] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[13:51:56] Valeria V. Kyros: Oh.
[13:51:56] Valeria V. Kyros: Boy.
[13:51:56] Masked Wanderer: And i don't know if you've caught on yet but... I am someone from your past.
[13:52:48] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[13:52:48] Masked Wanderer: Perhaps altered since then but... I don't think that would matter to you.
[13:52:48] Valeria V. Kyros: <*Her legs cross.*>
[13:52:48] Valeria V. Kyros: I'm listening.
[13:52:48] Masked Wanderer: Don't touch Celeana or the child.
[13:53:39] Valeria V. Kyros: Why would I?
[13:53:39] Valeria V. Kyros: Celeana is my Redeemer.
[13:53:39] Masked Wanderer: Do you not feel it?
[13:53:39] Masked Wanderer: That... dread aura in the air? That tinge of deeper depravity?
[13:53:39] Valeria V. Kyros: I don't feel anything I've not felt before.
[13:53:39] Valeria V. Kyros: Dear.
[13:53:39] Valeria V. Kyros: My grandfather is a lich.
[13:54:30] Masked Wanderer: But even a lich is not a sin...
[13:54:30] Valeria V. Kyros: Oh dear...
[13:54:30] Masked Wanderer: Now do you see the plight?
[13:54:30] Valeria V. Kyros: <*She seems stressed.*>
[13:54:30] Valeria V. Kyros: I won't touch Celeana or her kids.
[13:54:30] Valeria V. Kyros: That much is a promise.
[13:55:21] Masked Wanderer: Good.
[13:55:21] Valeria V. Kyros: A sin magi is the least of my problems.
[13:55:21] Masked Wanderer: I am not one to belittle like that Miss Valeria...
[13:55:21] Valeria V. Kyros: I am not belittling you.
[13:56:12] Valeria V. Kyros: But unlike the Imperfect or the Dreamer, you are not attacking anyone.
[13:56:12] Valeria V. Kyros: At least yet.
[13:56:12] Valeria V. Kyros: I trust you'd have enough tact to not do anything like that in my castle, after all.
[13:56:12] Valeria V. Kyros: Now.
[13:56:12] Masked Wanderer: Oh please, we have such a history together and yet you've already tossed me aside...
[13:56:12] Valeria V. Kyros: Who are you?
[13:57:04] Masked Wanderer: Take a guess, Miss Valeria.
[13:57:04] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[13:57:04] Valeria V. Kyros: <*oh shit*
[13:57:04] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[13:57:04] Valeria V. Kyros: What do you want this time?
[13:57:04] Masked Wanderer: You haven't told me what your guess is, Miss Valeria.
[13:57:55] Valeria V. Kyros: You never gave me your name.
[13:57:55] Valeria V. Kyros: But I still remember your face.
[13:57:55] Masked Wanderer: And what exactly did 'this person' do?
[13:57:55] Valeria V. Kyros: Shamed me.
[13:58:46] Valeria V. Kyros: If you came expecting me to kneel and cry, you are wrong, dear.
[13:58:46] Masked Wanderer: Oh no. I've had enough of that, it barely sates me anymore...
[13:58:46] Valeria V. Kyros: Is there any reason for you to be here?
[13:58:46] Valeria V. Kyros: Other than apparently Celeana?
[13:59:37] Masked Wanderer: Well, there might be, but, mainly... I wanted to see why you've forgotten about me.
[13:59:37] Valeria V. Kyros: I haven't.
[13:59:37] Masked Wanderer: Oh please, I do such things and I don't even get a single guard looking for me.
[13:59:37] Masked Wanderer: Do you know how... angry that made me?
[14:00:28] Valeria V. Kyros: I showed them your face.
[14:00:28] Valeria V. Kyros: What I remembered.
[14:00:28] Valeria V. Kyros: But apparently it did not work.
[14:00:28] Masked Wanderer: Not even a bounty...
[14:01:20] Masked Wanderer: I've had your soldiers speak to me, to the face beyond this mask and yet still nothing.
[14:01:20] Valeria V. Kyros: I'm pretty surprised at that as well.
[14:02:11] Masked Wanderer: <*His eye seems to twitch in the depths of his mask.*> Well. Perhaps I should keep re-educating them as I have done...
[14:02:11] Valeria V. Kyros: Excuse me?
[14:03:02] Valeria V. Kyros: Is that a threat?
[14:03:02] Masked Wanderer: ...What do you think the very first thing I told you was?
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: (i dont really understsand that...)
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: oocly...)
[14:03:53] Masked Wanderer: (Oh, telling you to stay away from his waifu and kid
[14:03:53] Masked Wanderer: (A threat
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: oh)
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: (it just)
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: (reads weird)
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: (as a sentence)
[14:03:53] Valeria V. Kyros: okay)
[14:04:44] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[14:04:44] Valeria V. Kyros: Just...
[14:04:44] Valeria V. Kyros: What do you want?
[14:04:44] Masked Wanderer: It's always the same question with you isn't it? You asked that so many times the last time we met...
[14:05:36] Masked Wanderer: It's infuriating.
[14:05:36] Valeria V. Kyros: All I've gotten so far is that you want to be a criminal here, apparently.
[14:05:36] Valeria V. Kyros: And for me to not do anything to Celeana, or your kid.
[14:07:18] Masked Wanderer: I just want you to remember who I am. And I want you to know that there is a very easy chance of you earning my wrath now.
[14:07:18] Valeria V. Kyros: I remember you, as I said.
[14:07:18] Valeria V. Kyros: Quite well.
[14:07:18] Masked Wanderer: Gorandis.
[14:07:18] Masked Wanderer: That's my name.
[14:08:09] Valeria V. Kyros: I see.
[14:08:09] Valeria V. Kyros: That makes giving you your so desired bounty much easier.
[14:08:09] Masked Wanderer: Hah, as if there're many poeple who even know it to begin with...
[14:09:00] Valeria V. Kyros: Better than nothing.
[14:09:00] Valeria V. Kyros: I intended to keep what happened between us as a... Personal thing.
[14:09:00] Valeria V. Kyros: But if you prefer otherwise, it can be arranged, too.
[14:09:52] Masked Wanderer: Well I haven't exactly been shouting it to the heavens but... Celeana knows.
[14:09:52] Masked Wanderer: And she knew before she decided to have a child with me.
[14:09:52] Valeria V. Kyros: Her decisions have nothing to do with me.
[14:10:43] Masked Wanderer: The strongest person under your command? And her decisions have nothing to do with you?
[14:10:43] Masked Wanderer: My word.
[14:10:43] Valeria V. Kyros: Her personal decisions.
[14:10:43] Valeria V. Kyros: I trust that she knows what she is doing.
[14:11:34] Masked Wanderer: You disappoint me Valeria...
[14:11:34] Valeria V. Kyros: How so?
[14:11:34] Masked Wanderer: So much unwarranted faith in others...
[14:11:34] Masked Wanderer: The fact that you are sitting here quite comfortably with me...
[14:12:25] Masked Wanderer: I can see why Lorelei almost managed to simply ask you for the crown.
[14:13:16] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[14:13:16] Valeria V. Kyros: If you're trying to say that I'm a bad queen, you're not the first.
[14:14:08] Masked Wanderer: My accusations are not so shallow.
[14:14:08] Masked Wanderer: I think you are a terrible person.
[14:14:59] Valeria V. Kyros: Good to know.
[14:14:59] Valeria V. Kyros: Now please.
[14:14:59] Valeria V. Kyros: Get out of my city, Gorandis.
[14:14:59] Masked Wanderer: Not quite yet. Not until I am sure with Celeana.
[14:14:59] Valeria V. Kyros: Celeana is my friend. I won't do anything to her.
[14:15:50] Masked Wanderer: Oh, not that.. until I am sure she is pregnant.
[14:15:50] Valeria V. Kyros: Huh.
[14:16:41] Masked Wanderer: You know... She is the only person who seems to calm me down...
[14:16:41] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[14:16:41] Valeria V. Kyros: You have until then, fine.
[14:16:41] Valeria V. Kyros: Then, out.
[14:16:41] Masked Wanderer: I will be returning, over the years.
[14:16:41] Valeria V. Kyros: No.
[14:16:41] Masked Wanderer: Yes.
[14:17:32] Valeria V. Kyros: You beat me in war, but my patience is limited.
[14:17:32] Masked Wanderer: I am not going to completely abandon my child.
[14:17:32] Valeria V. Kyros: She can go to you, then.
[14:17:32] Masked Wanderer: No, she deserves as normal of a life as she can get.
[14:17:32] Masked Wanderer: Far from me.
[14:18:24] Masked Wanderer: From what I do.
[14:18:24] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[14:18:24] Valeria V. Kyros: <*She SIGHS.*>
[14:18:24] Valeria V. Kyros: I'll speak with Celeana.
[14:18:24] Valeria V. Kyros: She'll be the one convincing me to let you visit her.
[14:19:15] Masked Wanderer: Whatever makes you happier...
[14:19:15] Masked Wanderer: Would you like to see it before I go?
[14:19:15] Valeria V. Kyros: No.
[14:19:15] Masked Wanderer: You didn't even ask what it was.
[14:19:15] Valeria V. Kyros: Your face, probably.
[14:20:06] Masked Wanderer: Oh, no, not that. No, the fruits of my labours. The thing you helped my finish.
[14:20:06] Masked Wanderer: (me*
[14:20:06] Valeria V. Kyros: Oh.
[14:20:06] Valeria V. Kyros: No.
[14:20:06] Masked Wanderer: Your loss. Perhaps you'll meet them some day regardless. He does like to wander.
[14:20:57] Valeria V. Kyros: I'll pray to Azrael that's not the case.
[14:21:48] Masked Wanderer: Such a distant relation to your own creation. You were never like this with your dolls.
[14:21:48] Valeria V. Kyros: I love my dolls.
[14:21:48] Valeria V. Kyros: Not you, or your creation.
[14:22:40] Valeria V. Kyros: Now, I think it's a good time for you to leave.
[14:22:40] Masked Wanderer: Yes, I suppose I'd better leave before you end up needing new guards or something...
[14:22:40] Valeria V. Kyros: ...
[14:23:31] Masked Wanderer: But.
[14:23:31] Masked Wanderer: Do enjoy yourself. I'll still be in the city for a short while...
[14:23:31] Valeria V. Kyros: You're making me want less and less to allow you to visit Celeana and your child.
[14:24:22] Masked Wanderer: Yes well. That is my nature after all... Perhaps one day you will understand it too...
[14:24:22] Valeria V. Kyros: Mhmm.
[14:25:13] Masked Wanderer: You can't fight your sins Valeria... Not from experience at least.
[14:25:13] Valeria V. Kyros: But I don't intend to simply give up to them either.
[14:26:04] Masked Wanderer: I have never given up... That's the problem. That's why I need to stay away from the child.
[14:26:04] Masked Wanderer: Because I /am/ trying to fight it.
[14:26:04] Masked Wanderer: And i often lose.
[14:26:04] Valeria V. Kyros: I already said that Celeana would convince me about it.
[14:26:04] Valeria V. Kyros: Not you.
[14:26:04] Masked Wanderer: You really do miss the point all the time don't you?
[14:26:56] Valeria V. Kyros: (im full of anesthesics and exhaustion rn)
[14:26:56] Valeria V. Kyros: (its probably)
[14:26:56] Valeria V. Kyros: (not the best time to speak to gorandis...)
[14:26:56] Valeria V. Kyros: <*She just doesn't reply.*>
[14:26:56] Masked Wanderer: (Definitely not
[14:26:56] Valeria V. Kyros: (just making valeria seem worse)
[14:27:47] Masked Wanderer: (You should have said
[14:27:47] Valeria V. Kyros: (i didnt think you'd make this so HARD)
[14:27:47] Masked Wanderer: (I'm all for omitting this
[14:27:47] Valeria V. Kyros: nah)
[14:27:47] Valeria V. Kyros: (valeria isnt smart anyway)
[14:27:47] Valeria V. Kyros: (its okay
[14:27:47] Valeria V. Kyros: i arrived from the doctor to this p much)
[14:28:38] Masked Wanderer: (I just don't want valeria to come off as something she's not from this
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: eh)
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: (we can omit maybe the parts where she seems REALLY dull)
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: (because that's from me ooc)
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: (dw though)
[14:28:38] Masked Wanderer: (We can omit all of it, I don't mind.
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: the general idea is that valeria is stubbornly proud)
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: (but not smart)
[14:28:38] Valeria V. Kyros: (nah dw)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (the talk about celeana and ur kid)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (is important enough)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (and oh boy now i have to talk to rod)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: can you tell drake to)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (come in)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (when you go out...)
[14:29:29] Masked Wanderer: (Have fun. I should get to killing Rod soon
[14:29:29] Masked Wanderer: (And sure
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: ty)
[14:29:29] Valeria V. Kyros: (and kill him yes)
