>>>>>[Dimitri, I accept your apology. You are indeed a chivalrous and wise
individual. Young Turks like you will revolutionize the Tir. I look forward
to your Ascension. To explain my position, I should refer you to what is called
the "working" Council of Princes. This consists of all the regular voting
members, plus Adviser Princes - who sit in, observe, advise in areas of their
expertise, can argue (with the High Prince's permission), but cannot vote.
These positions are also for life. It is too this class of Prince that I have
ascended.
Wyrm, Cat, I find you both to be quite amusing. Cat, as ever, you have my
respect -- we could work together you know.
Wyrm, I await your masterpiece as I would await a new Raphael Maddona. To
match wits with you is as adrenilin in my blood. But watch out - this panther
stalks as well. As a token of respect, I submit to you a present ***PresentWyrm
***. I'm sure you'll apreciate the irony.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Solariel, you are certainly audacious. I get involved in the Tir
politics as often as once a year. This is not to say that I don't
follow them -- I do -- but I very carefully keep myself out of them.
Attention, you see, is dangerous -- and danger tends to cut the span of
one's life a bit shorter than it might normally be.

Perhaps you do stalk, Solariel -- but you are not born and raised to it,
you are not one who must stalk and hunt, even as you breathe. Panther
does not call to you with voice irresistable, in your body and mind and
soul so that you have no choice but to answer his summons.

You are *human*. I work with humans only if I must.]<<<<<

>>>>>[*dryly* Oh, I appreciate the irony, Solariel. I just don't find
it humorous. And perhaps you should get better blood -- the current
stuff is overloaded with logic-wrecking hormones and whatnot.

Yeah, I've still got emotions -- but, as always, they are .mine. to feel
and .mine. to control. Your demise will be slow and painful, Solariel.
When I leave you, you will be alive -- oh yes, living and breathing --
but you will be penniless, dry of vigor, destitute, discredited, devoid
of any enjoyment in life or its events.... but unwilling and unable to
destroy your miserable, conniving existance. Your enemies will no
longer pursue you -- why pursue such a gibbering, sodden wreck of a man?
Your friends will no longer claim you -- this is not the man, the elf,
they once loved. Your country will no longer know you -- that? He is a
well-designed imposter, for what reason we do not know, for nothing
could come of such a pitiful specimen.

You, Solariel, will be my second masterpiece. And, I hope, my last.]<<<<<
