4th Sending [Audio]

[thequeensown]

[Talia has made her way, with the help of the elevators and tunnels beneath the Keep, to the library. She contents herself to perusing the various titles and selections available to the residents, but eventually she opens her own journal.

Her voice is soft and patient as she speaks, eyes wandering around the otherwise empty library as she speaks.]

I don't suppose that any of the staff have appeared? Or that we might have any idea as to how long this dust might affect the area?

Deior's the only one I've heard from. Looks like the others up and vanished.

[That's never a good thing.]

I don't like it.

:Db

[thequeensown]

No .. I don't like it either ..

[These things never ended well on the Boat .. it was hard to imagine it ending well here. Where the hell were the staff members?]

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

Something's going on here and they're keeping us in the dark about it.

[You can practically feel how tense he is through his voice. Kevas never likes it when he doesn't know what's going on and ever since he left Azeroth this happens much more than he cares to admit.]

[thequeensown]

[She nods to herself, unhappy about the connotations that they are being kept deliberately in the dark.]

We had to deal with this on the damned boat .. I'm not at all wishing for a repeat performance. The things we don't know are the ones that turn around and bite us in the ass.

[Yeah .. it happens way too often to feel good about it.]

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

Couldn't have said it better myself. If this keeps up I'll need to start finding answers myself.

[No way will he let his family be in danger just because Deior feels like they don't need to know what's happening.]

[thequeensown]

Well, just be careful when you do.

[When, not if. Talia has gotten rather used to not getting answers and needing to find things out on her own. She doesn't foresee this being any easier than the past has been.]

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

When am I not?

[Pause.]

Don't answer that.

[thequeensown]

[You'll hear the grin in her voice, Kevas, have no doubt.]

Mmmm .. I don't believe I need to.

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

Hey I can be careful. Sometimes I just get passionate.

[thequeensown]

[A soft chuckle and Talia is smiling once more, the curl to her lips soft.]

Just a bit, perhaps, but if it is to be considered a fault, it is one I cherish about you dearly.

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's a mistake I should make more often then.

[thequeensown]

[Her laughter is soft, but the mirth is evident.]

Not when said mistake tends to put you in harms' way, my love.

[Even her scolding tone sounds amused.]

Don't make me come after you!

[Because she will. Every time.]

[drinkuntilidie.livejournal.com]

[Oh Talia he's shaking in the boots that he doesn't wear.]

You make that sound like it should be a threat. I can't think of a single reason I wouldn't want a lovely ladymon chasing after me.

[And he'll wait for her. Every time.]

[waitsandlistens]

Staff?

This place has servants?

[thequeensown]

[Oh hi there new voice! My, but you sound young. MAMA TALIA MODE IS GO!]

Staff, aye .. although I might not go as far as to calling any of them servants. They help us, but they do not serve us..

[waitsandlistens]

Then what do they do?

['Cause she hasn't got any help yet. Not that she needs it.]

[thequeensown]

[Talia actually lets out a dry laugh at this.]

They have a good go at not telling us anything, actually. Or telling us just enough to raise more questions they won't or can't answer.

[A brief pause and then.]

I don't believe we've met yet, nor is your voice familiar .. [Well, it is, but she never really met Elegante-verse Toph officially.] I'm Talia .. Is there anything you'd know of this place that I might be able to answer?

[waitsandlistens]

I'm Toph.

Where do we get food when it's not dinner time?

[thequeensown]

It's a pleasure, Toph .. You can find food in the kitchen at any hour of the day. It is neither locked nor difficult to find and has a fairly varied selection to choose from between meal hours.

[waitsandlistens]

Yeah, but who cooks it?
