I've sailed frequently, and I've seen wonders at sea, but none of them prepared me for...this. Traveling among the stars is so far outside the realms of what I thought possible...but, I suppose that all knowledge is worth having. How is this done?

Ah - forgive me, my lords and ladies. My name is Imriel nó Montrève [there's a short pause, and then he adds, very slowly,] de la Courcel.

My foster mother. She'd be properly fascinated, not just struck dumb.

Is she a scholar then?

[iwilltrytobegood]

She is many things, a scholar among them. [And he might just be bragging now. Just a bit.] She holds the Name of God in her; it would be difficult not to be many things.

[He stares, and cannot help spluttering.]

The Name of God?

[iwilltrytobegood]

Yes. I went with her during her pursuit of it.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone wish to pursue it? [somewhat faintly]

[iwilltrytobegood]

[That gets a very small smile.] It's a long story, messire. She had a very dear friend, who was trapped on and island, condemned to live forever and age eternally to carry the brunt of an angel's rage. Only the Name of God could free him.

I would go through a lot to help a friend in that situation myself. I understand. [He shudders though. What a horrible thing to have to seek out. He's surprised this Phedre is still sane.]

Not many would. [He's face closes off a little; Imri's a broody bastard, especially about everything related to Drujan.]

Is there anywhere else you need to see? [Armand is getting the feeling Imriel may need to be alone to process all this. Even Wardens can get overwhelmed by things.]

[Good call. Imri runs a hand over his head before smiling a little and shaking it.] No, after this, I think I can manage anything. [He totally doesn't mind having to find some things on his own, either.]

[Armand gives him a bow with a smile.] Feel free to call on me anytime. I'll leave you to yourself for now.

[iwilltrytobegood]

[Imriel returns the bow.] Thank you, Armand. You've been an incredible help.

[And, if it's alright, Armand will depart, glad to have helped someone.]
