Esmeralda's Long Rest

[Context: Esmeralda is one of the few al'Mu-allima, who had been enemied to Targossas due to a misunderstanding and some IRL issues.]

Esmeralda tells you, "Can i get a hug?"

Esmeralda tells you, "Is that allowed?"

You have emoted: Ygia smiles softly to Esmeralda, opening her arms in invitation.

Esmeralda hugs you and pins a a blue crystal brooch on your shirt gently.

You have emoted: Ygia wraps her arms - and, then, her wings - around Esmeralda's form, consoling her.

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Thank you for being in my life. I'm sorry that the hurt got as such. But I understand."

Esmeralda says, "I just don't really know what happened, and I don't know what to do. Feel like i'm so far behind..."

Esmeralda says, "But thank you for helping me as much as you have. and please keep this brooch to remember me by."

Esmeralda gives you a friendly cuddle.

You smile and say softly to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "I'll treasure it, as I treasure you, and my memory of you. I won't let it go."

You reach over to Esmeralda and ruffle her hair.

Esmeralda takes a canvas backpack from an elegant white letter.

Esmeralda gives a canvas backpack to you.

Esmeralda says, "This stuff too. It's just gonna decay into dust."

Esmeralda says, "Oh, and I have some more elixirs in my rift and stuff..."

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Worry not about the elixirs. We have plenty, in Targossas. Still... I'll keep this stuff safe, dear."

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "...Most of all, I worry of you. Will you be alright, where you go...?"

Esmeralda says, "I'll be okay."

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "...I'm glad. Please be okay."

You give Esmeralda a friendly cuddle.

Esmeralda tells you, "// just going to make a new character and try again. I like Achaea, just not Esmeralda."

You happily tell Esmeralda, "// I had figured. I look forward to seeing your new character."

Esmeralda says, "I don't know how I got enemied and kicked out again...."

Esmeralda says, "And I'm just tired of trying."

Esmeralda says, "Just wanted to say goodbye, and thank you, in person."

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "I believe you had left the city at one point, and thus been branded an Oathbreaker... Much to my dismay. I know that you tire... I don't judge you. I will never judge you. And anyone that would will have to pass by me first. ...Thank you for being by me, dear. Be safe, okay?"

Esmeralda says, "I didn't mean to leave... I don't know what happened."

You have emoted: Ygia nods gently, a slight frown on her lips.

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "...They are quick to judge."

You give a pained sigh.

Esmeralda says, "I worked so hard to join Targossas... why would I leave?"

Esmeralda says, "I barely got in, and joined a house, then I had to sleep for a while."

Esmeralda says, "I didn't even get started on my tasks. I was looking forward to them."

Esmeralda leans forward and plants a kiss on your cheek.

You say to Esmeralda with an archaic, Eastern accent, "If anyone dares to speak out against you, I will tell the Truth of the matter. I can promise you that. ...Be well, in your rest, long though it may be."

Esmeralda nods her head at you.

You have emoted: Ygia holds Esmeralda close for a moment.

You smile softly.

Esmeralda says, "Love you."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Goodbye. I love you."

Esmeralda says, "I'm going to sit on my cliff for a while."

You nod your head emphatically.

You draw a white tweed cloak about you and blend into your surroundings.

[Later on...]

(Targossas): You say, "Is anyone available to engrave jewellery?"

(Market): You say, "Seeking a jewellery engraver. No enemies of Targossas, please."

Allene says with a lilting Arcadian accent, "What did you need repaired?"

You give a blue crystal brooch to Allene.

You say to Allene with an archaic, Eastern accent, "This, please. And an engraving placed upon it, "In memory of Esmeralda al'Mu-allima, niece.""

Allene says with a lilting Arcadian accent, "My condolences for your loss."

The falling snow begins to accumulate around you and obscures your vision somewhat.

You smile and say softly with an archaic, Eastern accent, "It's quite fine."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "But thank you."

[Post-engraving.]

Allene says with a lilting Arcadian accent, "1k will cover both."

You give 5750 gold sovereigns to Allene.

Allene smiles softly.

Allene puts some gold sovereigns in a medicine pouch.

Allene says with a lilting Arcadian accent, "Bad math."

Allene says with a lilting Arcadian accent, "Thank you."

You say to Allene with an archaic, Eastern accent, "I'm known for it."

You smirk.

You lower your head respectfully.

Allene inclines her head politely.

You whisper in Targossian with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Duanathar."

This brooch is round with a gold rim that holds in place a cobalt blue crystal that shimmers like water. Stretched across the crystal is a filigree of gold, shaped like a map of the islands and coast line of Targossas. Connecting each island are fine traces of silver depicting bridges and roads, and in the centre is a small topaz fashioned like a pyre.
Engraved on it are the words:

In memory of Esmeralda al'Mu-allima, niece

It has 207 months of usefulness left.
It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Kaiu.

You have emoted: Ygia turns a blue crystal brooch over in her hands. She gives it a firm hug, closing her eyes for a long while, before she breathes in deeply and moves on into the city proper.
