Arms folded behind his back, Soma strides into the square, face carefully blank. "Uncle." he calls, softly. "I will be taking up residence within the smaller Boldiszar household, if that is acceptable..."
(Soma Boldizsar)


Tarquin Brubeck says, "You look good, Bronwyn. Your mother does quality work."
Tarquin nods.
(Tarquin Brubeck)


Tarquin Brubeck says, "It's yours, you needn't even ask."

Soma Boldizsar says, "...Thank you."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Mmh."

Vaughn says, "That is a simple fort? A large one of very grand structure then. The design of it is quite attractive."
Brought up the wineskin to her lips, having a dead expression on her face as she stared into nothingness. A circle of neries did wonders, and she was the only non-family one here.

Eventually, she pulled the wineskin away from her lips. Like a feline high on catnip, she was stunned.

"I still remember him yelling at me on the first day of my arrival. Then those same words repeating themselves in my head every day after that, Cardinal."
(Ramona Miroslav)


Tarquin Brubeck says, "We Valmasians pride ourselves on aesthetic. Upkeep, not so much."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "This bloody rock claims even the cobbles beneath our feet, the houses we build."
Virgil shuffled his weight from one half of his body to the other half, somewhat uncomfortable- standing up with a slow start from his seat and walking over to one of the more distant benches, shifting his papers onto his lap and making a pensive effort to straighten them out.

Anything to pass the time right now, really.
(Virgil Boldizsar)


Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck asks, "Could you not stay with us, Soma?"

Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck says, "And thank you father."

Soma Boldizsar says, "I...need space, Bronwyn."

Soma Boldizsar says, "But thank you for the offer."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Our doors are always open, whichever ones you come across."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "You know that."

Vaughn says, "I had noticed something of that affect. Not entirely clean along the front, but still...It's impressive, beyond mere words. Pride certainly is a powerful word, and fits with the layout."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Same for you, Virgil."

Soma Boldizsar says, "It's re-assuring to hear that."

Virgil Boldizsar says, "Of course. Thank you, Mister Cardinal. I'm... Considering options. Father always said that was important."

Ramona Miroslav says, "Cardinal. I am lacking a punch."
Tarquin baps Ramona on the cheek.
(Tarquin Brubeck)

Tarquin Brubeck says, "I'm in no state to hurt kinsmen."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Gehennans, on the other hand... Hoo."

Ramona Miroslav says, "Likewise, and that will do."
Exhaling, Soma strides toward the bench and takes a seat next to the grey-skinned son of Istvan, his own distinct lack of the Dreamer's blessing called all the more into focus. "The estate is to be converted into an orphanage run by Judge Catalina. What do you intend to do from here on out, brother?"

His eyes drift upward.
(Soma Boldizsar)

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Honestly, what did that guy expect? We're in mourning."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "'Nyerr, your architecture is so impressive...'"
The pale boy glanced up from his messy work, up towards his brother, a momentarily uncertain expression on his features. After a few aching seconds, a short huff escaped his lips, eyes turning away and gazing towards the sky.

"I will do whatever must be done. Pursue progress, truth, and stability. Tame, anneal, and temper. Make certain that..."

He paused for a moment, breath hitching, gaze falling as a shaky exhalation leapt forth.

"Make certain that we learn from history, yes?"
(Virgil Boldizsar)


Tarquin Brubeck says, "... Clod."

Ramona Miroslav says, "I don't know, and I don't care anymore."
Bronwyn stares at her hands clutches in her lap. A single finger tapping against the other hand
(Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck)


Ramona Miroslav says, "The only emotion I feel is revenge."

Soma Boldizsar says, "...A zealous response, Virgil. But my question was more...practical in nature."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "That isn't an emotion."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "Excuse me. I'm going to go sit with my daughter."

Ramona Miroslav says, "Hatred."

Soma Boldizsar says, "I simply wish to know that you're being looked after. I am your older brother, after all, even if we're only a year apart."

Ramona Miroslav asks, "Does that sum it up?"
Tarquin scoots over to do just that. He smells a little boozy.
(Tarquin Brubeck)


Tarquin Brubeck says, "Absolutely."

Virgil Boldizsar says, "Mmn. My apologies, Brother Soma. My thoughts are... muddied."

Virgil Boldizsar says, "Miss Emi might look after me, perchance, though.. And Miss Catalina has said she would help."

Tarquin Brubeck says, "You know what we could do."

Virgil Boldizsar says, "Mmn.."
Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck whispers something.


Soma Boldizsar says, "That should be for the best."
Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.

Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.


Soma Boldizsar says, "You are of course free to visit me should you need any help."
Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck whispers something.


Tarquin Brubeck says, "There's still that eyesore of a Gehennan-Krausite joint operation on our land."
Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.

Melli has exited Avalon.

Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck whispers something.


Virgil Boldizsar says, "I may need your council. I'm rather... inept when it comes to matters that aren't studious in nature."
Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.


Soma Boldizsar says, "I can understand the feeling, though...That will be a weakness I need to overcome, soon enough."
Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck whispers something.

Soma feels his gaze drift to the sky. His tone is almost resigned. "I fear I must become a warrior."
(Soma Boldizsar)

Ramona then slithered over to the empty seat by the cardinal once more, leaning into the lamppost with a loud 'ding' as her horn connected with it.
(Ramona Miroslav)

Perhaps opposingly, Virgil's gaze falls downwards, eyes drifting between the cracks in the cobblestone. "It is not a path easily traveled."
(Virgil Boldizsar)

Tarquin nods.
(Tarquin Brubeck)

Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.


Virgil Boldizsar says, "Though, neither is one of the diplomatic affinity."

Soma Boldizsar says, "Perhaps. But we're all driven by what's necessary in the end."
Bronwyn Lithia-Brubeck whispers something.


Soma Boldizsar says, "Play to your own strengths, Virgil."
Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.


Virgil Boldizsar says, "Wise words. Ones I hope you follow, all the same."
Tarquin Brubeck whispers something.


Soma Boldizsar says, "...mm."
