"My fleet has never set sail near Aerenal. I have no quarrel with them, nor do my people. But we shall not be bullied. Even though the elves think they have a superior fleet, they couldn't be more wrong."

" I never said you personally were there nor your personal fleet, but the fact remains that a ship sailing under your flag was responsible for this act. Now, if you had nothing to do with that, then you mind is set and you don't have anything to worry about. But, allow me to be frank, you wish for the Principalities to become an independent and united kingdom...do you really thing that a war with the Undying Court is the right way for your kingdom to begin its existance?"

"Hm...no, I don't believe so." Princ se naslonio natrag na sjedalo, i geldao na pozornicu kao da razmišlja o onom što mu je Syd rekao.

"But I do not believe that the right way for his kingdom to begin it's existence is by handing out his citizens to elves with a grudge." Barun je prošaptao, no nije skinuo pogled sa pozornice. U njegovom glasu nije bilo ni protivljenja, ni slaganja. Samo činjenica.

You call a grudge soarwood worth 40,000 galifar golden coins...?Interesting.Rekao je to ne skidajući pogled s pozornice dok mu je osmijeh titrao na licu.

"Ah, money...yes, Lord Lyrandar. I have forgotten that you, as do I and lady Orien here, are members of a House. And money is important..." Nastavio je gledati još par minuta, te se na kratku opet osvrnuo prema princu i Sydu. "We should continue this later on...you will miss the play."

" In this matter money is less important, honor is the thing in question." I dalje je promatrao Fieru na pozornici i nakon kratke pauze nastavio. " But I agree, let us devote our attention to your wonderful niece."

Kutovi barunovih usana su se prvi puta tu večer razvukli u osmijeh. "Indeed."

Syd nije ništa komentirao, jednostavno se zavalio u svoj naslonjač pogleda prikovanog za Fieru na pozornici.

Predstava je tekla svojim tokom sve do svog tragičnog završetka. Kada je ljepousta Fiera izdahnula na kraju, Syd je čuo jecaje lady Orien. Očito je stara dama bila dirnuta izvedbom. Prije nego su se zastori spustili, svi glumci su se skupili za posljednji aplauz i naklon.

Sa spuštenim zastorima, paževi su otkrili everburning lanterne, osvjetljavajući kazalište titravim plavim svijetlom. Sydova grupica se zaputila prema izlazu, te je diskusija o predstavi živo započela.

"Fiera was just perfect for the part...if only she hadn't had to die in the end!" Lady je zajapureno rekla.

"I still don't understand why do we have to watch people die on stage...isn't real life enough. But I guess that is the weird aesthetics of the world today!" Kapetanica se nadovezala na Anastazijine riječi. "And who was the boy who played Jalian?"

"His name is Ulien H'uggali...a new star of the theater on the horizon. Fiera discovered his talent in the public 'blood theaters' in Darguun. If he stayed there, it would be such a waste of talent, don't you agree?"

Medic je hodala kraj Syda, te pridodala svoj komentar predstavi. "Did this story really happen? Was it based on real people?"

Syd je svoju pažnju po prvi put potpuno posvetio Medic i odgovorio joj. " No, I don't think it was based upon real events. The story was invented by the lady who was playing the leading roll. So, did you like it?"

Lady Orien se ubacila odmah nakon Sydova objašnjenja. "Not really, Lord Lyrandar. The play was invented by...by House Phiarlan artists centuries ago. It is one of the 'elven classics', if I am not wrong?"

"You are not wrong, Lady d'Orien...but Fiera's interpretation is a modern one...we have to keep that in mind. Shall you join me in the saloon?"

Svi su potvrdno kimnuli i krenuli za barunom.

Medic je odgovorila: "Yes, I like it."

Kad se lady Orien okrenula leđima i krenula prema salonu, Syd je napravio izraz lica kao da će mu postati slabo, ali nije ništa komentirao samo je krenuo za ostalima. Jedino se nasmiješio Medic i upitao ju gotovo šapatom. " So what do you think about the high society?"

"I don't. I do not understand why is it called high. You don't need to explain. I think I won't understand it anyways." Trapkala je za Sydom.

Barun ih je odveo kroz predvorje (kao što je i većina gledatelja otišla) do vrata na desnoh strani od kazališnbe dvorane, te su ih dva paža otvorila pred njim. Dugačka prostorija je bila puno užđa od kazališne, no isto se svakih nekoliko metara spuštala sa dvije ili tri stepenice dublje u zemlju. Unatoč tome, prozore su krasile iluzije prostora, koje su 'gledale' na idilčne livade, šume, prašume, farme i tako dalje. Sama prostorija je bila načičkana foteljama i divanima pokraj malih stolova, a paževi su trćkarali između onih par gostiju i vodili ih do praznih stolova. Barun Thuranni ih je odveo do najniže razine i posjeo.

Začudo, nije ih poslužio paž nego je barun upitao: "Can I offer you some refreshments? I quick snack maybe?" Lady je odmah prihvatila ponudu, kao i ostali koji su samo tražili vino ili vode.

Syd je ljubazno odbio piće i izvadio svoju lulu iz unutarnjeg džepa i zapalio. Upitao je Medic koja je stajala pokraj njega pokajničkim glasom. " I hope you are not bored too much. We organic beings tend to do things slower than you might be accustomed to."

"No, not bored." Rekla je Medic i nastavila pratiti razgovor koji su vodili halflinška kapetanica i lady Orien. Razgovarali su o predstavi, i prilično se sukobili oko glavne muške uloge. Olore je zagovarala da je izvrsno odglumljena, dok je lady tvrdila upravo suprotno.
