Log with Sigurd and Geddoe
Who: Euram, Sigurd and Geddoe
What: Euram takes the idle threat Alenia shot at him very seriously.
When: After the winter party
Where: Sigurd and Geddoe's room
Euram: ::knocks rapidly on the door to Sigurd and Geddoes room, looking behind him as though someone might have followed him…then knocks faster::
Geddoe: *looking up, then over at Sigurd* Were you expecting anyone?
Sigurd: -Looks up from the book he was reading, an eyebrow raised- No, actually... do you want to get that or should I?
Geddoe: I've got it. *wasn't doing much anyway, so he gets up and goes to open the door*
Euram: ::almost knocks on Geddoe, then jumps when he realizes the door is open:: Oh! Wonderful you are in!
Geddoe: *staring down at him* ....Sigurd. It's for you.
Sigurd: Euram? -He gets up from his seat, setting the book aside- You look positively spooked
Euram: Spooked? Haha..oh my..Can I come in now? ::looks behind him:: I do not know how long before she follows…if I will even get such a warning. Oh!
Sigurd: She...? Oh no, what's happened now?
Geddoe: *steps aside in silent invitation*
Euram: ::runs inside, standing in a far back corner:: She still wishes to kill me! Oh that wretched woman! She will just not sully her own hands with my blood.
Geddoe: *closes the door with a sigh* We have a table and chairs for a reason. Sit down, Barows. No one's going to kill you here.
Sigurd: Before you get started, I'm going to stop you right there and ask that you start from the beginning, too
Euram: ::sits down with a pout, but still cringes into himself:: The beginning? Oh my…well I attended the winter party…quite a wonderful affair…that is until that horrid dog in a queen’s knight uniform threatened me. Oh my and I do not doubt she will do it this time! It would be far to easy for her.
Sigurd: .... Why did she threaten you?
Geddoe: *goes and sits at the desk under the window, listening but not getting involved*
Euram: …I may have made a statement in regards to her ability to be an apt guard, but..That is no reason to bring anything to her majesty!
Sigurd: -facepalm- Okay okay, I'll step in to defend you here, but don't expect me to paint you in a good light when you go out of your way to taunt her
Geddoe: *subtle eye-roll in the corner*
Euram: You don’t understand! If she tells her majesty what…about what we did…the dawn rune…I DON’T WANT THE SAME FATE AS LORDLAKE! ::face down on the table now, shivering::
Geddoe: *paying a little more attention now*
Sigurd: ...you don't honestly expect such a fate would befall you for merely taunting Alenia, would you?
Euram: That’s….that’s not it. She…she said she would tell her about my family’s involvement with…stealing the rune and…oh you do not know. Lordlake was blamed in our stead. She destroyed them for it! What would she do to a wretch like me? The actual perpetrator of the crime? You’ve seen what the rune can do!
Geddoe: *sitting up straight* What do you mean, what the rune can do? What exactly was the fate of Lordlake?
Sigurd: Well... historically, its irrigation water was completely evaporated by an intense heat
Euram: ::shrinks back from Geddoe, cause he’s scary when he’s intense:: Intense heat. Yes, that is a way to describe a second sun in the sky.
Geddoe: *silent one-eyed stare*
Sigurd: And do you honestly think that she, in her current state of mind, would do such a thing to you?
Euram: Why not! All of those people…and it was all my fault. Of course she would! Not only would, but most assuredly can! You must have seen that light. We are all lucky we were not destroyed in the same manner!
Geddoe: *half to himself* ...then I wasn't mistaken.
Sigurd: Wait a minute... then that was the Sun Rune that caused all of that?!
Geddoe: *curses under his breath*
Euram: ::jumps at the shout, on edge:: W…well I do not know for certain as…as I…::takes a breath and starts over:: It has to be, it was the same light….we could see it that day plainly at Rainwall.
Sigurd: Perhaps she can be reasoned with then. I'm not about to let something like that happen twice
Geddoe: No, Sigurd. It doesn't work that way.
Euram: Yes listen to him! You cannot reason with her majesty! She would need to be informed of my true crimes for that, and to try to persuade her to a different course from that point…oh! No! Something must be done about Alenia to insure she cannot bring the information to her in the start!
Geddoe: *sigh* Well, I'm not about to provoke the Queen in any way.
Sigurd: Me either, but we have to consider the safety of everyone here.
Geddoe: *ignoring Euram for the moment* Kyle told me a little too much, before the Queen ever came here. It won't be a simple task. This is a True Rune we're dealing with.
Euram: You do not need to do anything to her majesty, only that horrid Godwin puppet.
Sigurd: -He considers a moment, raising a hand to his chin- ...hmm... What say you, Geddoe?
Geddoe: *closes his eye* I don't know. There are other ways besides Alenia blackmailing Euram to provoke the Queen, I'm sure.
Euram: ::looking back and forth, a bit confused. Why weren’t they rushing off to help him?::
Sigurd: What she's doing doesn't just pose a threat to him. She's about to make a foolish mistake and we have to stop her, I think.
Geddoe: And how do we know that this isn't just someone blowing things a little out of proportion? *stern look for Euram*
Euram: ::curls up into himself, tearing up:: I’m…
Sigurd: Geddoe, this time I think he's sincere...
Euram: ::nodnodnod::
Geddoe: *sigh* Fine. Then whose responsibility is it to talk Alenia into backing down?
Sigurd: Given our history, I'm not certain I can do so without things escalating...
Euram: You can’t talk to that madwoman! She would only be deceitful!
Geddoe: You think I have greater patience, after watching her wound you? You give me too much credit.
Sigurd: I guess we'll have to do it together then. If we ask for help elswhere, word risks getting out
Geddoe: True. I don't want this running like a wildfire through the castle. I don't dislike the woman but I can't expect myself to be civil, if she gives me attitude about it.
Euram: …Y..You’ll take care of it?
Geddoe: *simply sighs*
Sigurd: We don't really have much choice. We're kind of the "secret forces" here lately.
Geddoe: *muttering* If only we got paid for it.
Euram: …::heard him:: I’m sorry I am not able to. But please…do not be hurt this time? It is…not worth that.
Sigurd: I'm going to try to not have this get violent at all, Euram, but a lot is at stake here if she goes through with her idea...
Geddoe: *lifting his head, his face softens a little* I won't let him get hurt. Trust me.
Euram: ::just nods again, and doesn’t look at them::
Geddoe: I have one question for you, though. Euram. Does Alenia know, or would she suspect, that the Queen has the Sun Rune?
Euram: hmm? Of course. I mean…why would she not? Everyone in Falena knows that her majesty bears the sun rune…
Geddoe: Kyle was under the impression early on that she might not, since she died prior to appearing here.
Sigurd: I think Alenia was just as aware as Euram what caused that incident awhile ago...
Euram: Why would mortality matter? ::knows nothing about runes:
Geddoe: Mm. You think so, Sigurd? *glancing at Euram* When a True Rune's host is killed, it leaves their body. Either for a new host, or a dormant state. But if no other person is carrying it right now... *trails off in thought*
Euram: ::blinks:: oh.
Sigurd: Either way, we need to hurry with whatever we decide to do
Geddoe: *glancing at Sigurd again* She'll accuse you of coddling and protecting Barows, you know.
Sigurd: She can accuse as she likes, it is no business of hers.
Euram: I don’t need to be coddled!
Geddoe: Yet, as I see no sign of you picking up a sword in your own defense, we are technically protecting you. Like it or not.
Sigurd: ....
Euram: …
Geddoe: That is why you came to Sigurd, isn't it?
Euram: …Where else was I suppose to go? Luserina isn’t here…no one cares.
Sigurd: Euram, there might come a time when I'm not here for you, in spite of the promise I made...
Euram: … ::oh that made him feel better…thanks::
Geddoe: We will handle the matter at present, since it does have bearing on all of us.
Sigurd: -He fails at coming up with something comforting to say to Euram... he just looks sullen-
Geddoe: *sets his hand on Sigurd's shoulder and caresses with obvious care*
Euram: ::notices and starts to feel uncomfortable::…Where should I go until all is settled? I wonder if that nice chap from Vinay would remember his offer of lodging…
Sigurd: Geddoe, think we can hole him up here for a few nights?
Geddoe: *stares* What?
Sigurd: I mean it. We don't use all of this space, after all
Sigurd: I can put up a privacy curtain
Geddoe: I'm not about to have him around if we're... *looking embarrassed*
Euram: ::blinks in his confused puppy way::
Sigurd: Geddoe, it's just for a few days...
Geddoe: I'm inclined to march right out and find Alenia tonight if it'll keep him from having to stay with us.
Sigurd: -He can only chuckle at that-
Euram: Oh yes, I quite like this idea…though if I were to remain here, perhaps I could repay the hospitality by again sprucing it up! Oh I’m certain Miss Josephine will be quite happy to lend her talents!
Geddoe: *horrified* No.
Sigurd: -at the same time, equally so- No.
Euram: ::deflates:: …ok….
Geddoe: If you're in immediate danger, we'll handle it right now. If it's not that urgent, you'll be fine.
Euram: … ::stands, looking down, still deflated:: I will leave you to it then.
Sigurd: You can stay here for now, though. I can pull out a cot I've kept handy around here.
Geddoe: Sigurd!
Sigurd: I'm not about to toss him back out if he honestly feels this place isn't safe for him, immediate or no. I wouldn't do that for any of my friends.
Geddoe: *can't find an argument, but the look on his face still says that he isn't pleased with the idea*
Euram: … ::looking back and forth between the two:: … I would not wish to be somewhere I was not wanted. I’m certain I can find a place…perhaps I can implore master Thomas.
Geddoe: *sighing*
Sigurd: Geddoe, please... you know I rarely ask much of you. Just do this for me, alright? Please?
Geddoe: *pulling him aside slightly...resistance fading...* Dammit Sigurd, I'm not comfortable with someone else being around...us. But... *SIGH* One night.
Sigurd: -Sigurd returns his compromise with a warm smile and a big hug- I promise you won't regret this, geddoe
Geddoe: *holds him for a minute and growls in his ear* You owe me for this.
Sigurd: .... -BLUSH-
Euram: …. ::looks back at them curiously…slightly uncomfortable::
Geddoe: I will hold you to that privacy curtain idea, though.
What: Euram takes the idle threat Alenia shot at him very seriously.
