"This is..." Soft words tumbled from Livia's lips as she could only passingly imagine just what this could mean for both Cheliax and Taldor worlds.  As Kalchas described the Shory woman that was discovered, Livia drew her vividly in her mind.  Her mind allowed itself to fill in a rich setting of the Shory before their demise and wondered if their mythical power had any claim.  And there were<em>other</em>Shory!  Perhaps there was a functioning city as well?<br/><br/>A jolt of envy passed through Livia but she kept her face deadpan as she met Kalchas's gaze with an unpleasant look.  Dare she say, she would give nearly anything to have been in the Taldorian's place when he or she met the Shory.  She only hoped the Taldorians would not taint the Shory woman's mind too much.  It was not easy to obtain information from a group of people who did not care much for you.  In the back of her mind she wondered who's hands she would have to warm in order to join the next Chelaxian delegation to their outpost.<br/><br/>She, almost shyly, looked over at the Contessa to see what she how she was digesting the news.  She knew of many of those who were more battle-minded would not necessarily grasp the importance of the news.
