  1. [02:27] Syracuse Fengari says, "I've never had Jasmine, but I'm always interested in trying new things."
  2. [02:28] Syracuse took a seat upon one of the pillows, looking a bit awkward considering his size.
  3. (Syracuse Fengari)
  4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5.  
  6. [02:34] As he entered the home, the Kitsune is quick to latch on the lock and turn to his table. Taking a seat, the Kitsune rests his hands on either side of the pot - and then sticks a finger into the small firepit built into the table beneath the kettle.
  7.  
  8. "I've had a stressful day." He started, as the tea began to heat. He frowned.
  9.  
  10. "I suppose you've been having the time of your life, though, since you're allowed to walk around now." He speculated. He leans forward onto the table, staring at the hulking Syracuse who certainly didn't fit very well into Emiri's small home!
  11.  
  12. "What's it like, your faith, anyhow."
  13. (Emiri Taiyang)
  14. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  15.  
  16. [02:42] Tilted his head at the mention of stress, he knew that he'd been partially responsible for that little bit. He'd watch the fire magics of the Kitsune calmly for a few moments. It wasn't anything complex, but it was something new to him.
  17.  
  18. He raised his gaze upwards once he'd been asked about his time after being released. A genuine smile settling upon his features as he thought for a brief moment.
  19.  
  20. "I wasn't born to be locked in the dark. The open sky calls to me, I think you'd understand that more than most."
  21.  
  22. As he spoke he'd shift a bit. His crossed legs didn't quite fit the design of the table. Yet, it was his peoples way, oh he'd try to sit like the Sheng did. It had hurt his knees, a lot.
  23.  
  24. His eyes lit a bit when he was asked about his faith. It was one of the things that he enjoyed speaking of. One of the things that he'd been explicitly told not to talk about.
  25.  
  26. His gaze shiftedtowards the door for a second. Eye's settling upon the locked latch. His nose crinkled for a second as he chuckled at that. It would be fine to speak his mind within the humble abode of the Chancellor's house.
  27.  
  28. "I would love to, if you'd like to know. Where would you like me to begin? It's roots in the original message of Azreal? The tenet's granted by the Prophet Sareen? Perhaps my own enlightenments that I have been awoken to in my travels of Agartha?"
  29.  
  30. He asked with enthusiasm as if it wasn't often people actually asked to be told about his faith. In fact most of the time he snuck in the tenets as he was dispensing wisdom.
  31. (Syracuse Fengari)
  32. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  33.  
  34. [02:57] Emiri, on the other hand, sat perfectly fine and easy with crossed legs. As the water finished its boil, the Kitsune put in the teabags, before beginning to pour himself a cup, and one for Syracuse.
  35.  
  36. They were the same as those found in the shrine. Tiny little cups. But just enough to get by. Emiri begins to sip on the jasmine tea regardless, a light grin to his lips.
  37.  
  38. "Yes, I understand. A day where I do not see the sun is one lived in regret." He declares. It made some winter days where he obliged to stay inside dreadful for him.
  39.  
  40. "..Hrrm. A good question. I don't have much time." He said, pausing. "Tell me about..
  41.  
  42. The tenets, of the grey church. Mine are ones of understanding, kindness, and.. respect." He said. He stared at Syracuse with intrigued eyes! "But I hear your faith has.. four?"
  43. (Emiri Taiyang)
  44. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  45.  
  46. [03:13] Syracuse took a breath, he'd have to decide on how to explain it all. It wasn't something he enjoyed trying to do in a single setting. In fact more often than not he tried to break it apart in multiple sermons, His Sienna hues glanced over towards the Kitsune.
  47.  
  48. With a sly smirk he'd reach out to pick up one of the cups. Handling it gently as he lifted it. It was an amusing sight, like a bull trying to tip-toe through a china shop. Yet, he had his restraint when it was needed. Before long the tea was brought to his lips, being sipped occasionally as he explained.
  49.  
  50. "The prophet Sareen, savior of my race, delivered unto us four tenets. They are not so different to what you've said, perhaps even the same in different words."
  51.  
  52. As he spoke he'd shift a bit, scooting closer his voice dropping just an octave. The threat of being tossed back in the cell for speaking his faith aloud again rested a bit heavily upon his shoulders.
  53.  
  54. "The first Tenet, pursue progress, the sciences. Work to improve the world so that Kraus' creations may live in harmony together."
  55.  
  56. After he spoke he blinked, this wasn't the tenet as written by the Church. Yet, here was a man who wished to learn of the faith and was uncorrupted by the old ways of Valmasia.
  57.  
  58. "The second tenet, pursue truth. Seek to understand the beliefs of others. Acting with humility and respect to the differences we all share. This is the tenet I have based my life around."
  59.  
  60. The last bit was unneeded but perhaps would help explain the Nerie's oddity. After-all there was a second Neries captive who could give a much different story.
  61.  
  62. "The third tenet, pursue stability. Work to establish a willing unity amongst the creations of Kraus. Offer your aid to those who need it."
  63.  
  64. He tilted his head as he spoke that sentence. Adding at the end, just a tad bit more information than was needed.
  65.  
  66. "This tenet. . . Matters a great deal. It was under it that I snuck upon the fields to the north of Huangzhou during the Ghoul King's assault."
  67.  
  68. He'd not really wait around for that one to sink in. Moving swiftly upon the fourth tenet.
  69.  
  70. "Four Temperence. Temper progress with mercy, least your desire for advancement lead you to forsaking your humanity. Temper truth with wisdom, least your knowledge destroy those around you or the knowledge you seek would corrupt you."
  71.  
  72. He took a breath, before continuing.
  73.  
  74. "Temper stability with justice, least you become a tyrant in your pursuit of this path. For a tyrant cannot lead us into the Utopia."
  75.  
  76. He'd end his sentence at the same time he sat the tea-cup down. Shifting his gaze to the chancellors. Curious what the Kitsune's take on the Tenets might be.
  77. (Syracuse Fengari)
  78. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  79.  
  80. [03:25] Listening along as he explained his own tenets, the Kitsune poured himself many cups of tea and listened along with the most audible slurps of his drink. He also poured another cup for Syracuse as he continued to speak. Emiri seemed intrigued!
  81.  
  82. Finally, once he finished, the Kitsune stared out the window briefly. Time had passed, unfortunately - perhaps if the scuffle earlier hadn't happened he'd be able to speak more.
  83.  
  84. "I see, they're truly close to ours." He said, pausing. "It seems that our religions are close to one another, just like Conchita said to me.." He pondered. Emiri stared at the table. Then he looked at Syracuse!
  85.  
  86. "I think you fighting against the Ghoul King's army was noble, even if you didn't see eye to eye with us- I thank you." He spoke, coming to a stand. Maybe he was taller than Syrcause for a moment.
  87.  
  88. "..But, unfortunately, it's getting late and I must rest! Perhaps we can speak more on this another time.." He speculates. He begins to move over to the door to unlatch it!
  89. (Emiri Taiyang)
  90. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  91.  
  92. [03:29] Nodded, he'd down the last cup of offered tea in a swift motion. For a few seconds Emiri was indeed taller. Though it was short lived as the Neries stood.
  93.  
  94. "The Ghoul was misusing the Holy Arts, they where never supposed to be tools of death."
  95.  
  96. He spoke it simply, as if any Azrealite should know that. Yet, he was without a doubt the odd man out.
  97.  
  98. With a step he'd stand by the door, ready to leave once it was opened.
  99.  
  100. "So long as I don't get branded, maimed, or jailed for speaking of it. I would love that, Chancellor."
  101. (Syracuse Fengari)
  102. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  103.  
  104. [03:29] Emiri Taiyang says, "Hmm.. No, I don't do -that- to people."
  105. [03:29] Emiri unlocks the door!
  106. (Emiri Taiyang)
  107. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  108.  
  109. [03:29] Syracuse Fengari says, "It's not you I'm worried about."
  110. [03:30] Emiri Taiyang says, "Well, farewell."
