I suspected this was going nowhere but it was Sunday and I was alone in the home so the role play was welcome. If she returns, which I doubt, please consider her contained for one of the men to deal with .. chuckles

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o:
The guard drew his eyes from her and while he felt it was probab ly more prudent to direct her to the physician at this point it was not his duty to decide for anyone .. let alone a high born woman .. what should be done. He had enough of the tongue he got from his companion and today he just wanted a day of peace and quiet .. and he subscribed to the fact that people could make their own decisions and knew their own needs. The man nodded to the woman and then gave her directions to the cabin that housed the office of the only scribe in residence.
" Follow the road to the east here and in the edge of the town square you will find the library and the office of t he scribe you cannot miss it .. the sign has a Violet Quill on it. Lady Cyan is there that I am aware of.

says to ALL: I carried on taking the notes .. adding the various low castes to the assignment:merchants- white & gold,slavers - blue & yellow,metal workers - grey,assassins - black,torturers black & red,perfumers - white & yellow,vintners - white and green,pot makers brown & green,sleen trainers - brown & black. At this point I took a moment to set aside the quill and stretch my fingers .. the tips of them traditionally stained by the inks that I used. It was a professional hazard and I had gotten used to them .. besides I had a reason to indulge in the guilty pleasure of shopping for fine dyed gloves to cover them when I was not needing to use them in the application of my practive. I had a lot of ground to cover and I took up the quill once more .. dipped it and continued with an explanation of what caste codes where .. and smiled as I thought of the various riddles and sayings that made up some of the codes... trust Goreans to not have a set of laws per se but a list of ethical teachings that while not considered to be laws held the same weight as if they were legall required. I suppose that is just one of those quirks that made us so interesting. I also was intigued by those things that each varying caste considered to be ideals to which their members should aspire and govern their behaviors. Like my own caste it was those details that had kept me drawn to the work and to the creation of stories.

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o:
Laura was a small town and so the appearance of a woman .. a stranger .. was not missed and there was some speculation made .. the fact that the lady wore her colors was one of the reason that she was not stopped by other members of the guards as she progressed .. sitting outside of the Library however were two men playing Kaissa ... both were scarlet and charged with the protection of Lady Cyan and so they were mopmentarily distracted from the game when it seemed you were headed to the building where Cyan worked.

I blinked softly having not anticipated anotehr s cribe but widened the door and gestured you to enter " Tal Lady .. come be welcomed to Laura and the Library .. please do not be offended but you look like you could use a seat and a warm cup "

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: When one of the men spoke up my eyes narrowed and my mouth curled in a wicked smirk as I turned aside to allow the traveller to proceed inside and as she passed by me I leaned towards him and tossed back my response " Trust me Horatio .. I can tell by one glance that she is far better than the likes of you .. now run along and play your games there is no need of you here ". I could not stop the roll of gorgeous veminium eyes as I shut out the brisk day and moved behind you inside. With a shake of my blonde head I turned to you with an apologetic expression " honestly .. I think the men cheated in the war .. there is no way those heathens should be the dominant race, they are barely above barbarians " .. I offered a smile and with a wave of my hand lead you to the chairs ...as you moved I noted the limp and figured you could use the rest. "What brings you to Laura and to my door today ?"

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: I think only a scribe could appreciate the look and the scent of the room .. I knew that warriors were not comfortable here and that was fine by me .. it allowed me to have a source of income to prepare any papers that they needed ... I was not sure why you would not sit but I would not push you ... I had no such reservations though and settled in one of the chairs ... there was a pot of tea steeping there ... one I had prepared before your arrival .. it sat upon a tray with cream and sugar and several cups .. I was taught by my mother to always be prepared for the lonely traveller .. I would not insist .. you were an adult afterall so I listened and then as I checked the tea and replaced the lid I glanced to you " It is my pleasure to meet you Lady Helena .. family you say ... it is always good to keep connected .. why would you think you might have been lead astray? " .. I did not ask you if you wanted a drink . I learned my lesson with the chair and simply poured two cups .. leaving yorus close to the opposite seat and busied myself adding cream and sugar to mine " are you alright Lady ?" I was concerned about the leg and the evidence of tears.

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: White it was true that scribes were keepers of the law .. Laura was a small trading outpost town on the edge of the forest with little more than the river as a means to access it .. matters of security and threats were not that common and the towns laws reflected this .. what you did not know about me was that I too was a recent implant here and by way of official duties to the town I had few ...

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: This was a day for surrises it seems and when you spoke of being marked there was a slight change in my attitude. I regarded the robes with utter suspicion now and then in a moment of madness strolled to the door ... opened it and called out " Horatio ...Kane .. I need you now " .. then I disappeared back inside .. the men being who they were rushed inside ... yes they were hired hands but somewhere along the way they determined they were loyal and weere always at my side ... I know that you looked like little threat and while I was not concerned about a w eapon being concealed I was not in the habit of entertaining slaves .. you could only be speaking of being marked as one of those .. and while I mnight sympathize with youi being ambushed .. if you were masquerading as a freewoman and one of high caste when you were in fact not granted manumission .. well your stay in Laura was going to become a very different experience and one wher seeking family was the least of your worries. The men rushed in and flanked you right away .. it was normal behavior for guards .. contain any threat or potential threat ... and I looked to them ... " search her .." .. I was not so nice and sweet any longer and while I could give some leeway to a freewoman visitor I was not that polite as to give that same consideration to a mere slave.

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: My features were stern. I looked over the woman I had once given all the considerations of caste toward. On the table were the things that were seized from the woman and while I could hear the sobbing and the shock at being handled like common property .. she was a stranger and in effect subjec to suspision .. I opened the coin pouch and dumped it on the table top .. poking at the coins with the end of a teaspoon as I was not one to chance there being a pin or some form of poisoin trap in her monies. Leaving those spread on the tables I went through the papers and could find no evidence of any that stated she had been granted manumission. This provided me with a quandry since her identification was in order as was her caste certification. I would therefore give her some benefit of doubt and have her contained pending review of the leader or his second in command as to her fate. Unfiortunately I was not allowed to give her the benefit of the doubt and release her. I had no clue my day would turn out this way as I stepped towards the woman and regarded the common slave mark. My eyes moving over her .. my voice devoid of kindness now and strictly fromal and business like ... " do you have manumission papers ?.. if you do not I am afraid that I will need to detain you until you can plead your case to one of the leaders of the home"

says to .:. A Wild Imagination: she nodded as the Lady's words, though kindly spoken, very much went over her head,, her eyes looked down to her thigh almost as if they could ee through the thick robes "it is not that I need medical attention Lady" the tears begin to well up n her eyes "what ails me is nothng that many women have nt suffered....she sobbed......I am marked"

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: This was a day for surrises it seems and when you spoke of being marked there was a slight change in my attitude. I regarded the robes with utter suspicion now and then in a moment of madness strolled to the door ... opened it and called out " Horatio ...Kane .. I need you now " .. then I disappeared back inside .. the men being who they were rushed inside ... yes they were hired hands but somewhere along the way they determined they were loyal and weere always at my side ... I know that you looked like little threat and while I was not concerned about a w eapon being concealed I was not in the habit of entertaining slaves .. you could only be speaking of being marked as one of those .. and while I mnight sympathize with youi being ambushed .. if you were masquerading as a freewoman and one of high caste when you were in fact not granted manumission .. well your stay in Laura was going to become a very different experience and one wher seeking family was the least of your worries. The men rushed in and flanked you right away .. it was normal behavior for guards .. contain any threat or potential threat ... and I looked to them ... " search her .." .. I was not so nice and sweet any longer and while I could give some leeway to a freewoman visitor I was not that polite as to give that same consideration to a mere slave.

says to .:. A Wild Imagination: Aye Lady *said Horatio straight away with a certain relish I gasped as immediately I felt the hands fo the men all over my robes all over my body, I sobbed, I had never been manhandled inn such a way, one by one Horatio handed to Lady Cyan, my pouch of coin, my identity papers and caste papers from Ar, finally as they completed the search Kane held her upper left thigh, feeling the mark beneath he peeled back the robes, ,with a nod befor turnng to his employer "it appears she is who she says she is and she is trained in the Scribes Caste, but she has very recently ,,, in the last day r two , received a brand to her thigh, she bears the mark of the kef"

says to Lady Helena of ArCaste o: My features were stern. I looked over the woman I had once given all the considerations of caste toward. On the table were the things that were seized from the woman and while I could hear the sobbing and the shock at being handled like common property .. she was a stranger and in effect subjec to suspision .. I opened the coin pouch and dumped it on the table top .. poking at the coins with the end of a teaspoon as I was not one to chance there being a pin or some form of poisoin trap in her monies. Leaving those spread on the tables I went through the papers and could find no evidence of any that stated she had been granted manumission. This provided me with a quandry since her identification was in order as was her caste certification. I would therefore give her some benefit of doubt and have her contained pending review of the leader or his second in command as to her fate. Unfiortunately I was not allowed to give her the benefit of the doubt and release her. I had no clue my day would turn out this way as I stepped towards the woman and regarded the common slave mark. My eyes moving over her .. my voice devoid of kindness now and strictly fromal and business like ... " do you have manumission papers ?.. if you do not I am afraid that I will need to detain you until you can plead your case to one of the leaders of the home"
