Leilan
Your beauty is beyond compare -
oh, if I could hear but one song from you
I shall hail thee Queen of Birds...
oh, if I could hear but one song from you
I shall hail thee Queen of Birds...
The bay winged man takes his report without too much comment, nodding here and there, frowning where Leilan would have also. He was right then, that besides Cagney’s one attempt on taking Taria, nothing else had happened. ”Taria did mention that Arthas simply succeeded where we failed, so I guess they took offense over every single attempt. Long toes, if you ask me.” he shakes his head. Well, it’s not like he’d been the nicest either, in the end.
Brennen’s casual comment about Jesper makes the roan shift in place. ”I meant to visit him, see how he holds up. Taria might have escorted me into Sylva if I’d been able to keep up the niceties. Truth is they got under my skin before that, so I walked out.” he explains.
Brennen admits he8d rather have the roan here, and although Leilan should agree, he does not. ”Regardless of that, I don’t like the idea of sitting here waiting for a storm. I suppose I could tell them I’ve just escaped to earn myself a rank above that of prisoner, and get back there on my own terms. I don’t know if it would help to try and take a liaison-like position, but my stay there, as long as I were unharmed, probably helps prevent Nerinian attacks on them, too.” Especially with his mother holding the semi-queenlike position she does now, even if she is quick to give the title to another, because she does not like to stand in the full sun but rather pulls her strings from the shades - she’ll probably keep doing something important, like advise the new Leviathan queen. ”Perhaps I can convince Arthas it would gain him a cease-fire with Ischia as well. I’d have my own conditions of ‘turning coat’ of course, one of them being able to move to the common lands freely and gaining proper citizen rights like any other Loessian. But unlike Jesper did with Sylva, I won’t accept everything they throw at me, so it may turn out that I won’t stay and gain nothing... But Brennen, how badly do you think we need eyes and ears in that corner of Beqanna?”
Because that’s what it would all be about, in the end. If another Ischian can meet with him anywhere in Beqanna or he could even go to Hyaline and meet a Nerinian girl there, he would be able to report. Perhaps there should even be a ruse of a falling-out between him and Brennen, since the Loessians know he is a loyal man and would rather keep his word than leave the Brotherhood for another king. But those are details for later concern. Leilan is the only one in a plausible position to try and work his way into Loess, and as long as there is no torture involved and he is able to move around freely, he should be able to live with that change. He’s not one to confine himself to a tropical island anyway, after all.

there's something here that doesn't make sense
let's go and poke it with a stick

@[Brennen]
Two things I know I can make: pretty kids, and people mad.
