«While we wait, Miss Tintine, I'd like to talk to you in private. Would you please join me down here?»
The Iahn
CLICK ►
◄
Sure, why not.
Arntta
►
◄
«Miss Tintine, I'd like to first apologize for the behavior of Judge Bremeti.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«He is a bit of a... traditionalist.»
The Iahn
►
◄
I mean, it's pretty much what I expect to be treated like here, so.
Arntta
►
◄
«What do you mean? Have you been treated poorly elsewhere in Ion?»
The Iahn
►
◄
I mean, I don't know. It's my first time ever being here. In a Drago nation, I mean.
Arntta
►
◄
«I am very serious about the refugee program. If del are treating you poorly, please let me know.»
The Iahn
►
◄
It's not that, it's just...
Arntta
►
◄
...it's weird to me. How y'all do things, I guess.
Arntta
►
◄
The castes, the strict structures. It's weird to me. I had been warned about Drago as a kid.
Arntta
►
◄
«A goal of mine is to help destroy the negative perceptions the Del have of each other.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«I very much believe it is only with mutual co-operation we will flourish. Otherwise, Del like Cryostoria will prey on those weaknesses.»
The Iahn
►
◄
It's nice to hear the world outside Felishon doesn't like him, but disappointing he has gone as far as he has.
Arntta
►
◄
«Ion has been leading the move politically to stop him, I assure you.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«I have never trusted his intentions, and what we've discovered here has only cemented my beliefs. Which reminds me...»
The Iahn
►
◄
«I wanted to share with you what this is.»
The Iahn
►
◄
What, the tribute?
Arntta
►
◄
«Yes. Its appearance matches an artifact we have in the archives called a Primordial Key.»
The Iahn
►
◄
So what's that?
Arntta
►
◄
«When Lun came to Alastere, he left a number of these in the possession of trusted Del. They open very specific, otherwise impassable doors.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«My best guess is that this Key opens some door in your Grand Temple in Felishon.»
The Iahn
►
◄
!!
Arntta
►
◄
I'd bet like a house on fire that's how he locked the Grand Temple to Air.
Arntta
►
◄
So can we use it to fix the temple again?
Arntta
►
◄
«I cannot tell you. I would like to complete this ritual before you go off and use it, however.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«Which also reminds me, do you mind if I cast a spell on you to prepare you for the ritual?»
The Iahn
►
◄
...no, that's fine, I guess.
Arntta
►
◄
«Purify.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«Do you feel any different?»
The Iahn
►
◄
No, not really. Should I?
Arntta
►
◄
«No. That's good. It means you're ready for what we're about to do.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«Miss Tintine... Do you mind if I call you that?»
The Iahn
►
◄
...
Arntta
►
◄
Too drago-sounding. Just call me Arntta.
Arntta
►
◄
«Arntta, do you trust me?»
The Iahn
►
◄
...No, not really.
Arntta
►
◄
«May I ask why?»
The Iahn
►
◄
First, you're a drago. Second, you wear that creepy mask.
Arntta
►
◄
«This mask is who I am. The drago beneath is merely a vessel.»
The Iahn
►
◄
See, yeah, that kind of thing. That's creepy to me. It's a weird drago thing as far as I'm concerned. How can I trust anyone who won't show their face to me?
Arntta
►
◄
«I understand your position. I do not agree, but I understand.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«I assure you, I will do all I can in the next few minutes to earn your trust, Arntta.»
The Iahn
►
◄
«This ritual will fail if I do not.»
The Iahn
►
◄
That's... reassuring.
Arntta
►
◄
«It is almost time to begin. Ready yourself, Arntta, for you and I are about to face a test of will.»
The Iahn
►
◄
...fantastic.
Arntta
