The Lady and Kal
Subject: The Lady and Kal
From his position in the group, Harp watches as Kal rides over to the Lady De Blum and begin to engage her in conversation. A bad feeling starts to come over Harp. He had seen Kal put his foot in it before, and he would not be surprised to see him do it again.

The Lady listens stony faced as Kal chastises her for her treatment of Flavius. At Kal's last statement she bursts out laughing. It is a harsh, cold sound. "I have no need of love from such as these. They are small people." She gestures to the legionnaires ahead of them. "They always have been and always will be. However, respect will be given to me, by right of my position. Did I offend you by having the cretin flogged? I could have had him hobbled, but that would slow us down, and the less time I have to spend out here on the road the better. Listen to me, elf: power is what power can do. Did Maximus protest my decree? No, because he knew I was within my power. Save your naïve thinking for your uncouth friends." Almost as an aside to herself she says "What would one expect from the lower races." She then turns her back and rides back to the patrol, calling for Flavius to bring her some water.

Ran is greatful for the reprieve that Kal's interruption offers. He takes the opportunity to position himself further back in the patrol, hoping that distancing himself from the Lady will put him out of her mind. The politics of it all was enough to drive a man mad.
OOC: If only she thought half-elf was a lower race.

Allistair rides up next to Ran. "It might not be in your nature, but if you hang around Mund, Harp, and Salix and engage in conversation that she would find distateful, she'll probably be lest apt to spend so much time with you."

It is Ran's father she is interested in. Ran is just a means. :)
