[-Hall of Sulport-]
Is within the Main gathering Hall. Surrounded by the warmth of the many blazing fires and scents of freshly cooked food oozing in from the kitchens. Gentle music dances through the air from the roaming lute players. The Hall is mostly for residents of Sulport and any uninvited guests will be stopped by the guards at the doors.

says to ALL: I was through searching and now that I was back home for the second time I would stay here. I knew that someone had answers or knew how to get them, but I was tired of looking so all I could say was it's all in the past and I would focus on today and the future.

I swear that some days this climb to the hall got longer and steeper, and the guards meaner and surlier. It had been a while since I had come to the hall. My footsteps echoed inside the large cavernous building and I sat down at the table near the dais and just let my mind wander over the last few days and weeks.

says to Kanady - Sulport -: Cast half in shadow, I sat in my favored chair. The highback curled up and around me drwarfing my small frame. It added somewhat to the impression of vulnerability that those forlorn eyes of palest jade whispered. My expression though gave no glimpse to the thoughts that drifted through my mind like the clouds in the sky. So many thoughts...from business opportunities, to those things lost to me in more recent days and too there were thoughts of the construction that was currently underway in the city. A small plate of bread sat before me on the table, mostly untouched and beside it was a wooden cup. When I heard someone enter, my focus shifted from the glowing embers in the hearth. A mask of radiance fell into place, veiling the saddness from pretty features. It was such a convincing thing, that perhaps I should have considered a career in politics. I smiled, seeing it was you.

"Tal Kanady."

says to [.Deaths Lady.]V A L I A: I looked up to see you in the chair and thought how utterly careless I had been by entering not looking around to see if anyone else was in here. I was slipping and getting sluggish by all this domestic bliss of feeling so completely at home here.

Tal Valia, it's good to see since it's been a while

says to Kanady - Sulport -: "It's always a pleasure to see you, no matter how much or little time has passed."

The words, sincere as I spoke them because I did mean it. Sulport was my home, and it's citizens...my family. The only curse was that time seemed to change everything. The smile held to my lips but vanished from view as I lifted the cup to my mouth. I took a small sip of the wine, sufficiently watered. It tasted horrid, but you'd never know I thought so. I returned the cup to the table and took a small piece of the bread and took a bite. The butter and the honey masked the flavor of the wine and provided the smallest amount of nourishment. I honestly couldn't remember my last meal.

says to [.Deaths Lady.]V A L I A: Thank you Valia. I don't spend a lot of time in the hall any longer, but maybe it's time to put the past where it belongs and simply move forward.

says to Kanady - Sulport -: I listened to you, a wistful expression claiming my face at your words. I hoped with my entire being that such a thing was possible. My own past was filled with regrets and all I could do just, hope to move forward.

"Wise words, Kanady. I'm trying to embrace them myself."

I lifted my cup then to salute you and took a meager sip, behind it followed quickly another bite of bread.

says to [.Deaths Lady.]V A L I A: There were wise words but sometimes, or maybe most times it was easier said than done.

For the last few weeks I've chased leads about my heritage and hoping to find family out there, i have wandered gor in search of something that has no bearing on my life today. I am who I am and it's time for me to be that person. Sulport is my home and the people here are the nearest thing to family I have ever known.

says to Kanady - Sulport -: Of course, as with nearly everything, it was easy to say it but hard to live by those words. I knew this to be true, unfortunately, with so many things. Most could talk the talk but few managed to walk the walk. I listened to your confession and could almost understand. I was fortunate in the aspect that I knew my family, from where I had come. My Cosian roots ran deep and were vastly influential save for in Sulport. But I had realized much in my time here, about that family. Sometimes, it wasn't all that it seemed to be. I tried not to think about those betrayals and focus on you instead.

"It is normal to wonder about blood family if they are unknown to you. You should not feel bad about that curiosity. But I hope that you do not spend to much time wondering and searching for what you don't have----that what you do have is lost to you too."

When those words came from my mouth, I felt an actual pain in my chest. Though I had meant it for you, my conscience reminded me that I could stand to listen.

says to [.Deaths Lady.]V A L I A: Those are very true words, words that I need to remember. I like what I've got here and I think I would be completely lost if I let it all slip away. We can live by these words, we're not weak and we do what needs to be done........right?

says to Kanady - Sulport -: I took a deep breath and exhaled ever so slowly as you posed that question. I wanted it to be true so badly I could nearly taste it. It was a dangerous thing to want something so badly.

"It's not weak to fall sometimes. It's that vulnerability that can make life so....beautiful...at times. It hurts, because it matters. You see? It's that very thing that makes us stronger. Having the courage to continue on is what makes us strong."

Hope. I held it like a precious thing, shimmering in the depths of cool eyes. I dared to believe it to be true.

says to [.Deaths Lady.]V A L I A: You're probably right about falling, but being right and winning all the time is my weakness and it tends to lead me into trouble. I do my best to hide my vulnerabilities, but I have them. I'll try to remember your words.

says to Kanady - Sulport -: I gave a slight nod, spilling the length of an obsidian braid over the curve of my shoulder. My fingers played over it momentarily, tugging the end in my hand. Absently I twisted the wispy end around my fingers.

"It's not the fall that hurts...just the abrupt stop at the bottom. Fly when you can just ....be prepared for the landing too."

says to Kanady - Sulport -: I was very good at hiding my feelings too. Locking them away so that it appeared I was made of stone at times. I had a tendency to push people away before they could leave me. Like beating them to the punch. It was with guilty eyes I watched you now.

says to Kanady - Sulport -: Your laugh helped to lighten the seriousness of the moment and an appreciative smile grew to life upon my lips. I could not help but laugh softly too.

"I was very fortunate not to have any damage. Unlike so many others."

At least my office has survived. It was only my soul that seemed burned to ash. But...who needed a soul to live?
