Video - Locked to Unseelie

[scorchedchivalry]

For those that have unearthed remains at the behest of the Black Shuck, if you have come across those of the Seelie, I will be venturing to Caer Gleam to return them upon the evening of the Seventh. I am willing to transport those of any who can bring them to me in Daonna before my departure to the Seelie stronghold.

Should you do so, I will ensure that the Seelie are aware of whom among us honored their dead. [Since honor was a huge deal to the Seelie.]

I would appreciate being contacted beforehand so I can prepare.

Did not that and the dragon's awakening occur at roughly the same time?

No. The dragon was months before I arrived, I believe. But Alyosha's death was less than two months ago, in Treun. She was badly injured in the incident with the dragon, I know -- she bore scars from it when we met -- but it was not that incident that killed her.

And yet I am sure there are many of Redgate's people that would claim that had the dragon not been awakened, Lady Alyosha not badly injured, the Fox would not have slain her.

[She waved her hand dismissively.] It matters not as the bounties stand as is and for just reasons.

[sigh.]

The people of Redgate, it seems, are looking for any excuse to blame any wrong on these Seelie shardbearers. [and with him still trying to decide how he's gonna work this whole neutrality thing while still playing morla's loyal unseelie, it's just another frustrating complication added to the pile.] I'm sure their bounties are justified, but casting additional faults their way out of resentment only misdirects the blame from where it should lie.

Reynard was the murderer. If there's anyone who deserves the city's hatred, it's him.

The papers regarding the bounties are quite clear. It is only the opinions of the masses that wander. Lady Alyosha was much beloved by her people.

I think once the two Seelie have been brought in for trial, it will be easier to direct the gaze of the people.

[people are stupid. but handling that stupidity is sort of his job, so.]

I'll see what I can do about that. With any luck, these matters can be dealt with without resorting to a hunt and reward.

They know they are to stand trial. They have chosen to ignore the justice system of Redgate. The other two that were associated with them came back to Redgate of their own accord and made amends.

It looks to me as if these two are refusing to acknowledge they may have done wrong.

They might be. But I've been told I'm rather persuasive. Perhaps I can convince them to do the right thing here.

You are the Lord of Redgate. [She gives a small bow to the locket.]

[and this is why he likes you.]

Please, none of that. It's a new title, and you're a friend. It hardly feels appropriate.

I will keep that in mind as I aid you with your growth into that title. It may not be as grand as a king, but here it is much more than what you arrive with.
