Ahnaom pushes the heavy double door of the Court with both hands and walks into the hall. Shiny eyes and paler skin speak of some changes the villager has met during his long sea hunt. (2010-09-18 09:46)

Ahnaom glances at Monaliza "The present comes as a bit unexpected. I rarely receive gifts and those seldom are precisely what I am in need of at the moment. Magical this seems, indeed." (2010-09-18 13:35)
Ahnaom puts aside the present. "I see you have this tiny bird by your side, such an adorable smouldering creature. Reminds me one of fiery beast I encountered while sailing." (2010-09-18 13:38)

Ahnaom mumbles some obscure curse "Wicked spirits, let me catch my breath..." (2010-09-19 12:25)

Sympathetic Phil grins, amusement dancing in his eyes. "I'm sure no-one bloody wants a repeat of that nastiness, do they? Heh." He puffs out a cloud of foul-smelling smoke. "Oh no, that did not go well at all..." (2010-09-19 21:02)
Sympathetic Phil leans against the wall, scratching at his stubbled chin. He glances down at his fingers and grimacing at the dirt that coats them, wipes them on a nearby tapestry. (2010-09-19 21:04)
Sympathetic Phil shrugs. "That's about bloody it, really. Just be neighbourly, like." He glances at the flowing script on the wall. "After all, this is a friendly place, eh?" (2010-09-19 21:05)
Sympathetic Phil winks at monaliza, and casts an eye across the gathered court. "Not the sort where an innocent mercenary'd be killed just for being a foreigner. Bloody inspirational it is, Queenie." (2010-09-19 21:07)
Sympathetic Phil gestures with outstretched arms. "That in the violent world we live on, there'd be such an oasis of peace and liberated bloody thinking. Brings a tear to my eyes." (2010-09-19 21:08)
Sympathetic Phil sniffs the air. "Speaking of which, what's that bloody smell?" He inhales again. "Ugh, I think someone's stepped in something..." He lifts a booted foot, and screws up his nose. (2010-09-19 21:09)

Ahnaom stares at the lying body with a hesitant look, lazily moving his fingers. After a brief moment of tension he lightens up "Delirious spirits and thick blood, I see that not much has changed." (2010-09-20 15:33)
Ahnaom smirks and drags his chair with the right leg closer to the throne. "Sorry for the noise, dear Queen..." He comfortably slumps back and hands Monaliza a small copper pot. (2010-09-20 15:35)
Ahnaom says "I am really not sure whether this would match your tastes. My kind has some... let us say, peculiar recipes for mixing herbs. Tart and bitter this might seem, the heart of the swamp." (2010-09-20 15:37)

The spectral figure of Sympathetic Phil laughs heartily, and the drapes flutter in the icy wind that appears from the ether. "AND I DIDN'T EVEN BLOODY GET THAT! IGNORANT SAVAGE. AND THEY CALL ME A BARBARIAN?" (2010-09-20 20:36)
The spectral figure of Sympathetic Phil saunters over to monaliza's throne, his feet hovering several inches above the floor. He floats directly through the stone chair and the native woman sitting on it, turning to look down over her. (2010-09-20 20:38)
The spectral figure of Sympathetic Phil flashes a spectral grin as the queen shudders and screws up her face in disgust. "SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW, QUEENIE? IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT ON THE WALL OVER THERE..." (2010-09-20 20:39)
