Synovia x Imahnee

Synovia enters the Dragon and looks around for Ameiko, Naome or Imahnee.

Bertha, a matronly waitress at the Dragon, runs up. "Oh, girl. Glad you're hear! The rushed your gentleman friend up to their room and Ameiko is on fire about it! 'What does that big cow think he's doing!' she says. 'Ruin my daughter's chances at marriage? I'll skin him and serve him up for a lunch special!' she says! 'When I see him again, I'm going to gut him and make new strings for my lute!' she says!" Bertha looks positively amused with the drama, as she does and surely the whole town will know of this by tomorrow. She natters on as she takes Synovia up the stairs. "He was conscious by the time Lorran got him here. She was hanging around and doting like a green nursemaid until she got a little to fresh and OUT the door, Ameiko had tossed her." Bertha giggles and lowers her voice as they get closer to the door. "Almost quite literally. Anyway, here you are!"

"Thank you Bertha," she says unsuccessfully suppressing a giggle at the sight of the huge man being doted on by the small Ameiko. "She smiles and nods at Naome mouthing an "I'm sorry" then turns to Imahnee, ignoring any comments from Ameiko for the moment. " I am so sorry, I knew he was being a little over protective, sending Lorren with us, but I had no idea he would smack you in the head with a hammer. How is the head by the way?" She turns to Ameiko and says "Thank you for looking after Imahnee, but I don't think the ranting and mother hen routine is doing much for his headache. Give me a minute with Imahnee and I will come downstairs and let you know what happened at the Garisson."

Naomee smiles and silences Ameiko with a stern look. The Minkain woman growls as she is ushered from the room. Turning to close the door, the older woman winks and says to Synovia, "Tonight's menu is Osirion comfort food. I must advise Ameiko on how to cook it properly so we will be very busy..." "I DO NOT NEED TO BE ADVISED!" comes a very indignant, accented protest. "...And very loud," Naomee says with a laugh, closing the door with a click. Imahnee grins. "Your father has VERY good aim! I knew he was the sheriff but I did not know he was also such a fierce warrior." A cold towel is on his forehead, which he removes. He folds it into a smaller square than with a pulse freezes it solid and sets it aside.  "Fortunately for me, I have a VERY hard head!"

Synovia can not help laughing "I am sorry about the hammer. If it helps I insisted he be arrested for assault." She pauses a moment, barely suppressing a smile at his shocked look, then continues "Of course no one had the guts to actually do it. I did have a chat with my father and we have come to an understanding. You should not receive any more hammers to the head. After putting up with my parents, I would understand if you ran as far away form Sandpoint as possible, but I hope you don't. I like have you here. I don't feel so alone."

Imahnee laughs. "How can I leave when a beautiful queen is in need of my assistance. I still intend to help you in tonight grand plan to find the monster who is destroying your village and happiness." He pauses. "Why do you feel so alone? You are surrounded by friends and family that care so much for you. Ameiko would not leave me alone. I once sneezed and she had hot tea for me to drink and I think she has given me all the tavern's pillows. How can you be without someone with whom you can speak your heart?"

"I feel like they expect me to be this strong, fearless warrior, but I feel like a person thrown into a storm tossed ocean with no boat. I don't want to let my family down and yet I have already failed two of them." She sighs "I'm a mess. To top off everything else, tonight's plan frankly scares the hell out of me. I will have no armor, no weapons and no way to protect those I love. I can not bare the thought of losing yet another family. The person we seek tonight has made this personal." She hands him the notes from HIS LORDSHIP. " How did I attract this type of twisted person. Should I have somehow known and been able to stop him before Bobole and so many others lost their lives?"

He raises a hand and places it against her cheek. At first it's cool then is warms as he strokes her skin with his thumb. "And we could not bear to lose you. With everyone, there is desire," he says searching her eyes. "Desire to protect, to have, to fight, to run...We want things and for me...there is no greater desire than to be with you and I cannot do that with you in Pharasma's embrace."

Synovia draws in a shaky breath and says quietly "How is it that I can fall so hard for someone I just met?" After a few minutes enjoying the embrace, she says "Well, I better get downstairs before Ameiko decides to put Hemlock on the menu. We are meeting before dinner to finalize everything.I'd like to have you join us."

He grins. "I'll get stretched and geared up. I will meet you down there." He sounds almost excited as he throws back the blankets, still clothed. "Have some tea and relax."

"Relax, I don't think I even know what that means."
