During the time that Newall, Eli, Gamon, Aagha, Sallis, and Marsilla (and the driver) were riding out of town before thinking twice about it and going back home in the city, the gents had a little time to converse with the ladies.
Eli took the lead in questioning:
*He asked Marsilla about the Blood Guard.
**She explained that at one point in the past, they were powerful enough to assassinate an Arumlelian Emperor for being soft on up-and-comers.
**They were supposedly exterminated after that.
**She don't know if the modern bunch are descended from survivors or if they picked up the flag.
*She knows that Maxwould Bavioux is a peenar. She can't speak for the rest of the family.
*What's a Peenar?
*He figured without asking that Aagha came from the nation of Aladar up north just by her accent.
**She confirmed this, stating that she came from the city of Gramethen.
*Likewise, Sallis came from the island of Tavalin, which has been warred over frequently between Aladar and the nation of Erendor.
*Aagha lost her father in the war, and Sallis lost both parents and her home in the fighting.
*Aagha's mother died when she was young.
*Sallis fell in with a military unit.
*Aagha and Sallis met when both were hunting the same wizard in the Sargan States, between Aladar and Trynser.
*Aagha and Sallis formerly had more people in their team, but one, their manager, broke up with Aagha and went away.
*Marsilla spent her entire life in Jartapur, mostly in the Horlafense Estate.
*Her father was a teacher as well as a librarian, and was in demand.
*He held classes for several noble kids from neighboring houses as well as Antannja, and the common kids of the Horlafense Estate, including his daughter Marsilla.
*Antannja and Marsilla were close friends when they were 5 and 6, then Antannja discovered the difference between common and noble.
**Marsilla seemed bitter about this.
*The noble kids disdained the common kids, and the common kids knew that Marsilla had been close to Antannja, a noble, so Marsilla was picked on by everyone.
*Marsilla's mother died in a plague when she was 4.
**One of the last Arumelian Emperors waged war on witches before he died.
***His war on witches included a war on cats.
***There was a big plague the next year.
****Go figure.
This left Gamon to ask the important questions.
*What's Marsilla's favorite color?
**Blue
*Does Marsilla like the theater?
**Yes, very much!
In return, the girls asked questions:
*Marsilla picked out that Eli came from Casterria in Trynser
**Eli explained that he was noble, son of a countess / Sister of Surrea that whacked a kraken.
**He also explained the murder of his wife, involvement of the Bavioux family, and intention to destroy the Blood Guard.
*Aagha said she was generally sympathetic, but just as long as she got to fuck shit up she was happy.
*Marsilla also picked out that Gamon was as Jartapuran as she was, but there was something odd...
**Gamon explained that he was held in Zazimar against his will, but he got out.
**Seriously? Zazimar?
***You didn't know?
**What's Aladar like?
***Ambitious and grabby, wants to control the Dragon Seas. Aligned with Pengaldia against Trynser.
***Erendor is their enemy, thus drawn towards Trynser.
**What ever happened to the 'Witches War'?
***Puttered out after the emperor died in the plague.
*What does Marsilla think of the current state of Arumelia?
**"Well, obviously it sucks, though it is exciting in terms of the possibilities. I'm hoping I've joined the winning team."
*What does Aagha and Sallis have going on right now? Anything worth sharing with us?
**"There were some mage-hunting jobs that we weren't comfortable with taking on, but with you guys I think we can take them."
*I explain my disdain of the current nobles and the sorry state of Arumelia.
*Since Marsilla probably has memmorized the 'book' I ask her which chapters would I be most interested in?
**"It's a journal, m'lord. She wrote things down all over the place. What do you want to know?"
*Is Marsilla's father still alive?
**"He passed four years ago. I miss him very much. He's like the only one I could talk to growing up."
*I share my dreams of a United,stronger,energized Arumelia.
**Aagha: "With you in charge."
*I also want to make sure that Arumelia will not be beholden to any Nation --Trynser or any one.
**Aagha: "Good luck."
*I have a lot of questions but I'm too busy right now lol!
**I'll be here all week.
*BTW a peenar is a penis. Maxwould Bavioux is a dick. Though Marsilla didn't use that language.
Newall has plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
