the firestarters always get the burns
and the good guys never get the girl
Okay, that's it. This girl is just acting crazy. Why she's a diplomat at all eludes her completely at this point.
"I know that you're irritated, and so am I. We're getting nowhere with this at the moment. The facts are that my steal was successful and yours wasn't, and that I have no intention to fight you. We're diplomats, not warriors. Whatever deal you wish to make to get out of your stay here, I will listen, but tomorrow. I have nothing to offer you but your freedom - but if you have nothing in return but threats, you'll just have to stay here until you think of a better deal. Those are the terms. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go some place warmer. You're still welcome to join me there, it's no use standing here in the open winds." She turns, leaving Lepis at the spot. If she really wishes to escape, Ilma will be sure to find her within the appointed timeline, which will force her to come back. But she's not going into Loess - not with Lepis, at any rate.
@[Lepis]
I'm just going to end it here. Feel free to make a new thread in Hyaline or even a common land to escape, but Ilma is not going to Loess with Lepis and also not going to fight. Maybe I'll see if she can talk to Bane though.
