"Jemmy,.................." > ~Lord Jemalas Tamislane of Thornwood, Ruler of Kalisis > JDavis109@juno.com Aubk-i informed me during high tea, that Jemalas was been taken care of by the court priest and the royal tailor, she also mentioned, the royal Mage had a great interest in Jemmy, for what she didn't know but she said " who understands mages " . I could well imagine why, those two would be in deep discussion about the difference in magicka between the alternate planes, and I was quite surprised when Jemalas turned up after one hour, looking very elegant in the Sentinel way, and I said " the Sentinel fashion becomes you M'lord, and may I take this opportunity to formally introduce you to ( making a curtsy towards Aubk-i) Her Royal Highness, Queen Aubk-i, wife to King Gothryd, Ruler absolute of Daggerfall, Princess of Sentinel, Daughter of the late King Cameron and Her Royal Highness Queen Akorithi, and this is ( pointing towards Jemmy ) the Right Royal Lord Jemalas Tamislane of Thornwood, Ruler of Kalisis " and you already know your previously introduced guests" After the two got acquainted, we spent the time reminiscing over the previous adventures, however it was getting late in the noon, so I gave Jemmy the evil eye, and fortunately he ( for once ) took the hint and readied himself to go while the rest of us were getting on our feet, Jemalas did the most amazing thing, he took the Queen's hand kissed it and whispered "Your Majesty, till we meet again." at which Aubk-i naturally blushed al the way down to her ... err shoulder blades, I was glad to see that Jemmy had some manners, it is however not done in Sentinel to touch women in public and that ofcourse goes in triplicate for Royal Ladies, but Aubk-i took it all in her stride, it may have been cause she thought Jemmy to be unaware of Sentinel law by the fact that he's an off worlder or maybe because they where both of the same background, I don't know, in any case after everyone said the right things, even Zarth ( although obviously under the influence of Aubk-i's beauty ) managed to mumble a few words of politeness. On our way down the staircase Jemmy said "Lady Mea, may we attend to the matter of this letter from the dark elven princess, Morgiah? I remember you mentioning about her having the largest information network in Tamriel. Such an ally would be useful." Now this persistent line of questioning, in regard to Morgiah, had me a little worried, so deep in thought, I walked back to the stables where our horses were waiting. We got back to the ship, which had been beautifully repaired and I had a feeling that Aubk-i's influence had something to with it, cause in the middle of the drawing room on the table, was Jemmy's sack of platinum, a bunch of roses ( cost a small fortune in Sentinel ) and a note with Aubk-i's seal on it, after reading it, I smiled, took the sack and went to find Jemalas. He was in his state room, going over some papers, " Sorry to intrude on your privacy " I said, " but I had been pondering on your question in regard to Princess Morgiah, I am not sure why your are so intend on using her ... err network, so I thought, while I take Catris and Adeline shopping, why don't you find a good reason why we should meet with this Royal minx". I turned on my heels, to find the other two Ladies, stopped by at Zarth's quarters and was pleased to notice that he had his nose deep into one of my books, I had to smile when i saw his lips forming the difficult words, his brow was so frowned that without the mask he looked even more un handsome than usual, his concentration was so intense that he never heard me knock or look in, and so I left him to his studies, and called the two Ladies together for a shopping spree, rattling Jemalas's sack . -- Regards Mea /\ /vvvvvvvvvvvv \----------Sacre-Noir------------------------. `^^^^^^^^^^\^ /ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ \/ +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "Vegemite" the power of love... | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | "I didn't do it, it wasn't my fault" | +-----------------------------------------------------------+ |Homepage: http://geocities.com/TimesSquare/Labyrinth/6161/ | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
