[Golden Phoenix, West Booth]
Sounds from the dining room are muffled by the highbacked booths, allowing for quiet conversations -- be they romantic or business. The crisp table setting is complimented by fresh cut rose buds tucked in a tiny crystal vase. A leather-bound menu rests discretely behind the flowers. You also see a rust and blue dappled lizard.
Also in the room: War Pup Ceriben who is sitting, Daku, Varnuriun who is sitting, Mean Old Hag Seteria, Lost Rayvne, Astute Mage Suha, and Catriona.

Snow says, "I haven't had tea with Lady Laelsdel in weeks."
Nazirre says, "I still think she is the one we should be looking at"
Snow says, "She must have thought of someone else."
Catriona says, "Lael killed Zerlien and was hoping to pin the blame on Snow by dropping some evidence."
Riinesk says, "The soulstone arch has revealed Lady Snow to have had no involvement, as it is incapable of being decieved, she has offered to help in finding out the truth, and I welcome the assistance."

You nod at Zaud, in complete agreement with his views.
He is wearing a kyanite gwethdesuan, a jadeite gwethdesuan, a spired great helm, a heavy black greatcloak, a drawstring sack cinched with a braided silk cord, a blackened steel bolt quiver strapped to the thigh, a copper edged tower shield emblazoned with a crystal tower, a double-stringed crossbow with a drop-forged steel tiller, a brushed steel back sheath, some blued-steel armor with a lotus etched into the breastplate, some fitted grey trousers and some spurred leather boots.
Catriona asks, "do we need to go find Cialen and Lael?"
Nazirre says to Zaud, "The man was a woman hitter. If i had seen him alive i would have killed him myself"
Nazirre shrugs.
Riinesk asks Zaud, "The truth then, where were you last evening and through the night?"
Suha says, "They're some place my familiar can't go"
Seteria says to Snow, "you dont think.. that Cialen could have anything.."

Zaud says to Riinesk, "In Forfedhar on patrol."
Catriona shakes her head at Seteria.

Catriona says, "Lael was threatened by Snow's friendship with Cialen."
Nazirre says to Riinesk, "If he had been in town you could have smelled him coming from leagues away"
Zaud shows Riinesk his steel epaulet.
Varnuriun exclaims, "Show!"

Ceriben observes Varnuriun with fascination.
Seteria quietly says, "me.. ofcourse not.. but Im not to impressed with Lady Lael's manners either for that matter"
Riinesk stares at Varnuriun and leans back, arms folded across his chest.
Zaud says, "If you'll excuse me, I think Master Varnuriun should not be present during the questioning, and perhaps could use some assistance in finding a bed."
Zaud stands near Varnuriun.
Snow says, "I'm not trying to point any fingers. We just need truths aired out."
Zaud gazes down at the floor.
Seteria quietly says, "but and she's still quite alive"
Seannan asks, "Perhaps ... some tea for him?"
Zaud asks Varnuriun, "I know I'm not your usual company but would you allow me to assist you to a room for the evening?"
Seannan rests her hand on Varnuriun's hair.
Ceriben says, "He doesnt seem like the tea type"
Suha chuckles.
Varnuriun sobs.
Varnuriun exclaims, "I love you!"

Riinesk scowls.
Snow smiles at you.
Zaud asks Seannan, "Remaining, or would you like to accompany your friend in his time of need?"

Seteria nods to Seannan.
Seannan glances from Riinesk to Snow to the departing Varnuriun.
Riinesk says, "I don't think she has accounted for her own whereabouts yet."
Ceriben takes a sip of his ale.

You say, "I was either hunting wrums or reflecting in the Crossing guild"
Riinesk says to Seannan, "You may go shortly, after you tell us where you were last evening."
Seannan shifts her weight.
The wings of Seteria's boots flutter for a moment.
Snow asks, "Did you know Zerlien?"


You say, "I have heard the name of late, m'lady"
You ponder.

Snow asks, "Did you meet him?"

You say, "No, Lady Snow"

Snow nods.
Zaud sighs.

You shake your head.
Nazirre pats Zaud on the back.
Seannan nods to Riinesk.
Snow says, "Nazirre? You know I don't want to ask after you stood by my side."
Zaud says, "Master Varnuriun is up stairs in the Roc Suite......resting."

You ask, "Perhaps my soulstonw might clear me? As the arch did you?"
Snow smiles at Nazirre.

You cock your head at Snow.
Snow says, "But you know we have to."
Nazirre raises an eyebrow.
Nazirre says, "Fire away"
Suha says, "Ah"
Snow says, "We just need to know where you were this time yesterday."
Suha says, "They're coming"
Nazirre gestures.
Seannan says to Riinesk, "/hesitantantly I ... "

Laelsdel exclaims, "I just heard the news! I am so sorry!"
Cialen says, "Snow, I am so so sorry."
Snow asks, "Nazirre, did you know Zerlien?"
Riinesk says to Seannan, "Your name came up more than once. It's best you be out with it."
Nazirre looks at Ceriben and shrugs.
Seannan quietly says to Riinesk, "I was with Varnuriun."
Cialen gives Snow a formal hug, pressing first his right cheek, then his left, against Snow's.
Catriona glances at Seannan.
Snow smiles at Cialen.
Nazirre says to Snow, "No but if i had seen him hit a lady he wouldnt' have walked out the door"
Ceriben takes a sip of his ale.
Snow says, "Thank you, but I'm alright, really."
Laelsdel gazes at Snow with concern.
Catriona says, "oh my gawds.."
Catriona glances at Laelsdel.

Ceriben takes a sip of his ale.
Ceriben moves a mug of golden ale to his left hand.
Snow says, "I understand, but I'm only looking for facts of what did happen or not happen."
Nazirre nods to Snow.
Catriona asks, "Zerlien was a moon mage wasn't he?"
Snow asks, "Suha?"
Cialen says, "Lael, please, just tell them where you were."
Seannan blinks at Catriona.
Suha raises an eyebrow.
Nazirre says, "I would tell you if i had killed him"
Laelsdel glances at Cialen.
Nazirre says, "I'm afraid it wasn't me"
Snow asks, "I have not seen you in this area much lately, did you meet Zerlien?"
Suha asks, "Yes?"
The dappled lizard sits down.
Riinesk says, "I suppose he may remember your being with him once he's sober...If he becomes sober."
Catriona folds her arms across her chest.
Laelsdel says, "I told you, I was looking for houses."
Cialen nods to Laelsdel.
Laelsdel turns stiffly away from Cialen.
Cialen sighs.
Seannan gives Riinesk a slight nod.
Seannan says, "I would hope so."
Snow smiles at Suha.
Snow asks, "What did you think of him?"
Laelsdel impatiently taps her foot while fiddling with an ornate animite engagement ring set with a dragon's blood crystal surrounded by tiny diamonds.
Suha says, "Didn't know him. Only time I saw him was after they fished him out of the lake."
Seannan takes a sip of her wine.
Nazirre's pearl-eyed kingsnake uncurls from about his finger and coils about his right wrist, where it goes still.
Snow asks, "And where were you in the last day?"
Suha says, "Riverhaven, studying"
Snow leans over and whispers something in Riinesk's ear.

Riinesk points to Rayvne, standing quietly to the side.

Snow nods to Riinesk.
Snow smiles.
Snow nods to Suha.
Rayvne asks, "Hrm?"
Zaud folds his arms across his chest.
Snow smiles at Rayvne.
Riinesk says, "You...You have had ltitle to say."
Rayvne says, "I was..sleeping out the west gate."
Rayvne says, "I've a hangover, still"
Rayvne blushes furiously!
Snow asks, "No one with you?"
Riinesk asks, "Where might you have been last night?....sleeping....outside?"
Rayvne says, "Um.."
Ceriben says, "That seems pretty close to the crime."
Nazirre clears his throat.
Ceriben nods to Snow.
Rayvne says, "No, no one with me"
Rayvne frowns.
Nazirre pats Rayvne on the back.
Snow asks, "Did you notice anything?"
Snow asks, "Hear anything?"
Rayvne says, "No, I heard nothing"
Seteria whispers something to Riinesk.
Snow asks, "Did you know Zerlien?"
Rayvne nods to Snow.
Snow asks, "Any thoughts on him?"
Rayvne says, "I did, yes, I didn't respect him much, his thoughts on other races and females needed some improvement."
Ceriben looks thoughtfully at Rayvne.
Snow nods to Rayvne.
Rayvne says, "But, I didn't kill him."
Zaud says, "A sentiment shared by many."
Suha peers quizzically at Laelsdel.
Riinesk whispers something to Seteria.
Rayvne says, "If I had, he'd a had holes in him, not bruises."
Nazirre nods to Rayvne.
Rayvne glances at Seteria.
Nazirre pats a steel-plated ironwood crossbow with a sculpted dragon-head cranequin.

The tip of Suha's tail makes lazy circles in the air.
Seteria whispers something to Riinesk.
Laelsdel gazes at her fingernails.

Cialen says, "Of course I do."
Snow looks eye to eye with Cialen.
Ceriben walks over and sits down on the chair with a relaxed sigh.
Snow asks, "Where... were you?"
Ceriben leans back.
Riinesk says to Snow, "Better from you than me, in thise case."
Cialen says, "I was playing with Sellan, he couldn't sleep."
Snow slowly empties her lungs.
Catriona smiles at Cialen.
Nazirre pats Cialen on the back.
Cialen says, "Ear ache, Cook says."
Snow asks, "Do you feel you had motive?"
Suha ponders.
Cialen asks, "Because I punched him last time I saw him?"
Snow says, "We all saw you hit him that night."
Laelsdel shoots Cialen a look before looking away again.
Riinesk furrows his brow.
Cialen asks, "It would appear I could have some, wouldn't it?"
Cialen says, "But as I said, I was with Sellan."
Snow nods to Cialen.
Snow turns to Laelsdel.
Ceriben says, "Should lady Snow really be doin the questionin? She seems to have quite the motive, Save face with her family."
Laelsdel smiles at Snow.
Ceriben glances at Snow.
Snow asks, "And Laelsdel? I was told you and I had tea last night?"
Nazirre says to Ceriben, "She has already been cleared"
Ceriben asks, "Has she? by who?"
Laelsdel opens her mouth to say something, clearly surprised.
Nazirre says, "In the Paladin way"
Laelsdel says, "I..."
Snow asks, "Laels, why would you say that?"
Suha says, "She's tiny, she couldn't strangle anyone"
Cialen glances at Laelsdel.
Laelsdel glances to Cialen then back to Snow again.
Ceriben asks, "Paladin way?"
Catriona says, "Not without help from someone else maybe."
Snow asks, "Where were you last night?"
Nazirre nods to Ceriben.
Suha nods to Catriona.
Laelsdel looks to her hands again.
Catriona glances at Seannan.
Ceriben says, "I have known paladins to be able to repent."
Riinesk quietly says to Ceriben, "The soulstone doesn't lie. Though it seems we are left with little option but to take so many others at their word."
Laelsdel says, "I was... house shopping."
Laelsdel gazes at Snow.
Nazirre makes an odd noise like he just inhaled a tart.

You say to Ceriben, "Not that quickly. Not for murder"
Snow asks, "House shopping?"
Snow asks, "Why would you lie and say you were with me?"
Cialen asks, "Whatever for?"
Laelsdel says, "Yes. The tower isn't a very warm place."
Seannan takes a sip of her wine.
Laelsdel gazes at Snow.
Laelsdel glances at Cialen.
Laelsdel squints.
Laelsdel looks back to Snow.
Riinesk says, "To repent a minor transgression is one thing. To hide the damage to your soul that would come from killing a man and dumping his body to the crocodiles is quite something else."
Laelsdel wrings her hands nervously.
Snow raises an eyebrow in Laelsdel's direction.
Nazirre asks, "I think someone was getting it on with teh recently departed?"

You nod at Riinesk, in complete agreement with his views.
Catriona gazes at Seannan.
Laelsdel says, "I'd... I'd really rather not say here. In front of everyone. In front of them."
Laelsdel looks over at the ladies.
Snow says, "Laelsdel, you're going to have to say it."
Seannan takes a sip of her wine.
Cialen says, "Lael, please, I am most curious myself."
Laelsdel asks Snow, "Couldn't you and I talk outside?"
Suha looks thoughtfully at Cialen.
Seteria whispers something to Riinesk.
Laelsdel exclaims to Cialen, "I don't care what you want right now!"
Laelsdel turns from Cialen again.
Seteria raises an eyebrow in Laelsdel's direction.
Cialen says, "Lael, I think I have the right with what you told me."
Cialen says, "You lied to me."
Riinesk whispers something to Seteria.
Laelsdel sticks her nose up in the air haughtily.
Laelsdel says, "You deserve it."
Suha raises an eyebrow.
Laelsdel fixes Seteria with a frank, even stare.
Laelsdel exclaims, "Get her away from me!"
Laelsdel stands near Snow.
Zaud folds his arms across his chest.
Laelsdel exclaims, "I don't trust her!"
Snow blinks.
Nazirre gestures.
Seteria quietly says, "your wounds look..."
Catriona nods to Seteria.
Snow says, "But Laels"
Laelsdel exclaims, "If I have wounds it's because of the spell you cast on me!"
Snow says, "We just need to know why you lied."
Laelsdel exclaims to Riinesk, "I want this woman arrested!"
Zaud moves into position to block attacks against Seteria!
Catriona says, "Like wounds a moon mage would give you if they cast on you."
Laelsdel quiets down, gazing at Snow.
Zaud moves over to guard Seteria.
Snow exclaims, "Laels!"
Catriona glances at Seannan.
Catriona says, "Same as the ones Seannan has."
Snow says, "We need to know."
Riinesk says, "Who you trust isn't in question at the moment. It is whether we should trust you that demands answering."
Catriona says, "I find that intriquing."
Snow says, "Right now you're looking like a very serious suspect."
Seannan blinks.
Cialen says, "Wait, please, she didn't kill him."
Laelsdel exclaims to Snow, "Because! Because I thought if Cialen thought you two were getting married again then he'd stop...!"
Laelsdel gasps!
Laelsdel exclaims, "I didn't kill him!"
Laelsdel sobs.
Laelsdel buries her face in her hands.
Cialen asks, "Stop what?"
Seteria quietly says, "that damage to your nerves appears to be the effects of a moonmages mind bolt... if I were asked a professional opinion"
Snow has a puzzled look.
Catriona nods at Seteria, obviously agreeing with her views.
Laelsdel exclaims to Cialen, "That you'd stop chasing her around like you're in love with her!"
Catriona gestures at Seannan.
Laelsdel sobs.
Cialen turns Laelsdel towards him.
Catriona says, "and hers too."
You notice as a rust and blue dappled lizard eyes a nearby bug.
Laelsdel cries softly into her hands.
Catriona folds her arms across her chest.
Seteria nods to Seannan.
Seannan glances at Catriona.
Snow says, "Laels, I'm sorry."
Seteria quietly says, "aye.. hers too"
Ceriben takes a sip of his ale.
Cialen asks, "Didn't I tell you to go get a ring after you told me they were together again?"
Laelsdel says, "You tell me a lot of things to just shut me up, I know you do."
Cialen says, "That's not true."
Laelsdel dabs her eyes with her fingertips.
Seteria mutters into the air something about cant blame him for that.
Catriona whispers something to Seteria.
Cialen looks away, his eyebrow twitching.
Nazirre asks Laelsdel, "Missing your handkerchif?"
Laelsdel says, "It doesn't matter."

Laelsdel says, "No."
Laelsdel sniffles.
Riinesk glances at a white silk handkerchief with silver embroidery.
Nazirre raises an eyebrow.
Riinesk gazes at Laelsdel.
Seannan says to Seteria, "The only wound I have had recently is the one you took from me."
Catriona says, "No, because it wasn't hers."
Laelsdel says, "At any rate, I didn't kill anyone."
Laelsdel asks, "How could I? With happiness?"
Laelsdel rolls her eyes.
Snow asks, "Laelsdel, did Zerlien do anything to you?"
You notice as a rust and blue dappled lizard yawns.
Snow says, "I need to ask, I'm sorry."
Seteria just touched Seannan.
Snow says, "I know you two didn't get along."
Laelsdel says, "Do? He's a mean, horrible... I mean.. was..."
Laelsdel says, "Yes but..."
Laelsdel says, "But I didn't do it, Lady Snow, I swear I didn't."
Seteria quietly says, "your quit untruthful Seannan"
Snow pats Laelsdel on the back.
Seannan appears to be baffled.
Snow asks Riinesk, "I think that's it for now then?"
Seteria quietly asks, "did Zer cast a mental blast on you both to stop you from killing him?"
Riinesk nods to Snow.
Catriona grins at Seteria.
You notice as a rust and blue dappled lizard basks.
Riinesk says to Snow, "There are those I am not sure I believe, but I can think of nothing else to ask at the moment."
Ceriben glances up at the sky.
After a few moments he lowers his gaze.
Seannan looks at Seteria like she's sprouted another head.
Snow asks Riinesk, "Did you get Varnuriun's alibi?"
Laelsdel sniffs again, wiping at the corners of her eyes.
Riinesk says, "He claimed he was drinking all day, and from the state of him, I doubt his tale the least."
Snow ponders.
Catriona says, "You certainly had motive for wanting him dead, Seannan."
Snow says, "But I'm confused."
Snow asks, "What was Seannan's motive then?"
Seannan says, "I have not seen Zerlien since he graced me with that black eye."
Seteria asks Seannan, "how long have you and Lady Lael been planning this?"
Catriona says, "He was slapping her around."
Nazirre asks, "Getting hit in the face?"
Laelsdel gazes at Seannan.
Laelsdel blinks at Seteria.
Nazirre gestures.
Dark stripes form upon his skin, rippling with feral power.
Laelsdel exclaims to Seteria, "What?!"
Catriona asks, "and perhaps forcing himself on her?"
Zaud bows his head and chants a prayer.
Catriona glances at Seannan.
Seteria nods to Laelsdel.
Ceriben takes a sip of his ale.
Snow asks, "Seannan, where were you again?"
Ceriben glances at Seannan.
Seteria quietly asks, "why did you two do it?"
Catriona grins at Seteria.
Seteria peers quizzically at Seannan.
Zaud stops guarding Seteria.
Seannan says, "I was with Varnuriun."
Laelsdel says to Riinesk, "I really do need to speak with you sometime soon."
Snow asks, "Drinking here?"
Catriona asks, "And why would you want to frame Snow?"
Riinesk says, "She claims that she was here, watching Varnuriun drink."

Laelsdel exclaims, "You two are insane!"
Nazirre's pearl-eyed kingsnake slithers up from his wrist and transfers itself to his neck, looping itself in graceful coils before falling back to sleep.
Catriona asks, "Are we?"
Laelsdel exclaims, "Obviously!"
Cialen just touched Laelsdel.
Snow pulls Riinesk aside and begins to speak in low tones.

Snow looks away from Riinesk.
Laelsdel begins pouting.
Seteria asks Seannan, "did he command you to go back to his room?"
Nazirre says to Riinesk, "Told you"
Snow asks, "So it's true?"
Catriona nods to Snow.
Zaud says to Riinesk, "Not to doubt your investigation skills, but I do not think you can rule out Varnuirun yet."
Snow asks Seannan, "You were having an affair with Zerlien?"
Riinesk says to Nazirre, "And you were right."
Laelsdel raises an eyebrow in Seannan's direction.
Seteria asks Seannan, "did he attack you again?"
Riinesk nods to Zaud.
Riinesk says to Zaud, "Quite likely not."
Snow asks, "Attack you?"
Zaud asks Riinesk, "Should I go to his room to fetch him?"
Seteria taps her right eye.
Seannan says to Seteria, "He certainly did that shortly after M'lady Snow called off the wedding and a group of us were here drinking, but not last evening."
Seannan glances at Snow.
Snow glances at Seannan with concern.
Seteria asks Seannan, "he didnt find you again last night?"
Snow says, "I'm very sorry Seannan."
Catriona asks, "But did he force himself upon you or do you go with him willingly?"
Snow says, "I didn't mean to cause such a thing."
Laelsdel shakes her head.
Seannan says, "I ... no, I was not having an affair with Zerlien."
Riinesk says to Zaud, "At the moment, I think the less people talking the better. We will find him when we need him."
Seannan shifts her weight.
Zaud nods to Riinesk.
Seannan says, "We were rightfully married long ago."
Laelsdel gasps!

Riinesk nods to Snow.
Catriona smiles at Ceriben.
Ceriben laughs!
Riinesk says, "Something more must be said for someone who has lost her husband and covered up so much already."

Seannan glances at Riinesk.
Catriona nods.
Nazirre says, "Multiple motives"

Snow says, "I have more questions."
Ceriben laughs!
Laelsdel sighs.
Cialen nods to Snow.
Riinesk asks Snow, "Do you have more to ask fo these people, or will you be joining us?"
Seteria quietly says, "someone as petty as Lady Lael... for material objects"
Cialen says, "So do I."
Ceriben leans on Catriona.
Snow says, "I'd like to join you please."
Laelsdel pointedly ignores Seteria.
Snow joins Riinesk's group.
Catriona scratches Ceriben's back. Ceriben smiles blissfully.
Riinesk says to Seannan, "It is time you follow me."
Ceriben says to himself, "I guess this means she won't be comin to work for me."
