[color=8882be][h3][center]~Arletta Dupain~[/center][/h3][/color] Interactions with: [@Man Jack Frost] [@1Charak2] [hr] [color=8882be]"Thank you, Matti."[/color] Arletta replied with a small nod. No need to try and not be ungrateful for the uneasy peace at least. At least everyone seemed intent on calming down now that everyone had said their opinion on the matter. Arletta sighed, shaking her head with a frown. This wasn't going so well, was it? Perhaps if she could spend a bit of time with the Lich she could get the other undead to change her tune, even a little? Undead - all Monsters even, and humans could get along if both parties were willing to negotiate and not let their egos and stupid religions and other beliefs get in their way. She had seen it plenty of times to know it was the truth. [color=8882be]"Now, erm, about that-uhm?"[/color] Oh dear, this Shoggoth was being fairly friendly, wasn't she? Not that Arletta really minded the creatures presence. In fact, it was pleasant seeing someone so openly friendly here. In fact, the Shoggoth made her smile a bit with her overly seeming friendliness. [color=8882be]"Aha, Gor, I certainly won't mind the extra company."[/color] She said with a quiet giggle. Now that the entire situation had been defused she didn't feel like suddenly shoving these people into their place. She was more worried about Liliana's reaction to the somewhat forceful way Gor was going about this. [color=8882be]"That said, erm, Gor, if you don't mind excusing us for a moment there's something I wish to talk to Liliana about."[/color] With that said, the Dullahan led the Lich away from the crowd to discuss something a bit more personal for the Undead Knight. [color=8882be]"You know,"[/color] Arletta sighed. [color=8882be]"You should work on your people skills."[/color] She said with a shake of her head, one of her hands moving up to her neck and unclasping the silver choker she was wearing. [color=8882be]"Not that I have much room to talk, heh, but I'll have you work on that after you help me with something."[/color] She gave the Lich a smile, though it was decidedly less friendly then she had given the others and it lasted for only a few seconds before it vanished. [color=8882be]"Erm, so well, you obviously know I am a Dullahan."[/color] Arletta said with a frown. [color=8882be]"I normally try to keep that to myself. It makes dealing with humans easier...except when my head decides to conveniently take a vacation."[/color] She sighed, using her free hand to dislodge her head from her body. [color=8882be]"Makes it [i]really[/i] hard to talk to humans sometimes."[/color] She replaced her head quickly. [color=8882be]"This choker I have was given to me by a...well, former friend of mine to help with that. Don't get me wrong, it does help immensely. It will keep my head on in simple day to day activities but with enough force or if someone just decided to pluck my head from my shoulders it would be quite easy for them to do so. Not to mention I have to be...careful with my swordsmanship and abilities or I have to watch - sometimes even carry my head if I can't. Which makes my combat effectiveness go down quite a bit. Since I'll have one of my hands full with my head."[/color] She replaced the choker around her neck, giving the Lich a serious look. [color=8882be]"It's nothing serious, but with you being a Lich and both an undead and likely fairly skilled with magical arts, I thought you may be able to help with somehow keeping my head on more...permanently unless I wish to take it off for some reason...which shouldn't be ever..."[/color] After taking a look back over the quest board and Gor, the knight shook her head. [color=8882be]"But that is an endeavor for another time, no? I think it might be prudent to get one of these quests underway..."[/color] After waiting for a reply from the other undead, the Dullahan and Lich returned to the group where Gor was already picking out a Quest. [color=8882be]"Hrm, Gor, Perhaps this 'Mystery Quest' would be better for us to attempt?"[/color] The Dullahan said. Aside from the fact the other quests looked so...mundane, she was highly curious as to what this quest could entail. That said, she was always one to stick her nose where it didn't belong sometimes. [color=8882be]"The one in Boreal port, that is. I thought I overheard some of the others wanting to go to the forest as well. It would be a much more effective use of the guilds time to try and split up the tasks."[/color]
