Emerald Faye | Garroth Ro'meave

A Boat On Water ( Season 1 of MCD; Episode 82)

     " Lord Alex! I think you're needed at the docks! There's a problem."

     The freckled girl got calmly to her feet." What's the trouble, Dante?"

     " An O'khasis ship's at the dock, we aren't sure whether or not they mean harm. Laurence was sent to get Lord Aphmau as well, considering it's probably best if the lords of this town were too great whoever is arriving."

    " While I am technically no longer a Lord, I see your point." She grabbed a silver cloak before turning to head out the door.

    " Wait, before you go and meet them, shouldn't you probably bring some armor? Or a weapon of some sort?"

    Alex gave a knowing smile." I never leave the house empty-handed, I've got a dagger on me, and this cloak has some magical properties that can block practically any blade, although because it's a cloak it doesn't really do much in combat, but as defense goes, it's pretty good.

     "... right, in that case we should probably get going."

     " Probably."

    " Sir Garroth."

    " Lord Alex, my apologies for the sudden summoning."

    " Lord Alex?" The freckled girl turned to look at a blue-haired woman." I was under the impression that the town of Phoenix Drop was under the rule of Lord Aphmau, is it not?"

     " It is, however, I am from foreign lands where I was a Lord, and me and my people moved to this town recently, in the process I resigned from being a Lord, even though everyone still addresses me as such."

     " Then I should probably speak with you as well as Lord Aphmau, speaking of the Lord, where is she? I seek audience with your lord, not her head guard."

     " Before you speak with either of them about whatever matter you're here for, you address me."

     " Just because you are the son of the Lord of O'khasis does not mean I would hesitate to pull your tongue from your-"

     Before she could finish her sentence, Aphmau quickly interrupted her, walking over to where the group stood by the docks.

     " Hey! Wait a minute! That's completely uncalled for!"

     " My most humble of apologies, a young lady like yourself should not have seen that exchange of words, might I ask who you might be?"

     Aphmau took a logical approach to her words." I don't feel comfortable telling you who I am first, tell me who you are."

     " Indeed, my sincerest of apologies, my name is Lady Katelyn the Fire Fist, elite member of the Jury of Nine, I come from the village of O'khasis to discuss business with the Lord of Phoenix Drop."

     "... It's nice to meet you, Katelyn, I'm Aphmau, Lord of Phoenix Drop."

     " I knew I was speaking to a woman of power from the moment I laid eyes on you, do you think that perhaps you and I, as well as your friend Lady Alex, could discuss what I have to say in private? Say, on my ship?"

      Aphmau and Alex exchanged glances before the Lord of Phoenix Drop spoke.

     " I don't feel comfortable going aboard, I'm sorry."

     " Understandable, after all, why be at sea when we are perfectly fine here on land, then I seek audience with you where ever you feel comfortable, no guards, just the three of us."
