True she wss a threat to her hopes of freedom but the elf princess had confidence in Darius to be loyal to this arrangement. Diabelle was about to say something but then he spoke up harshly.<br/><br/>Darius was angry but also trying to be patient. But that last word was too much to take. Placing his hand on the door. He stopped Parasha from leaving just yet.<strong>"Sit back down. Both of you."</strong>Darius was angry now and looks like she struck a hard nerve with him. The lot of Padhe considered him non existant. Yet only now do they even consider looking for him when they need him.<br/><br/>Now she was going to get a weeks worth of that frustrations pointed at her.<strong>"Listen well. I don't care that she was casting magic. I would rather she exercise that caution than leave me in the dark. Especially when someone placed a ransom on my head. No I don't care even if it was you and had the best intentions ever because in my mind you wouldn't need it. It brought nothing but doubts paranoia and double guessing myself at every turn. Add in the fact you tried to force her out of the talk and with that mark on your arm and that doesn't quell suspicions, it raises them. So instead of giving me more grief I am giving you a second chance and explain yourself. You want me believe you. Heres your chance. No more nonsense, no more tendersteps, no more magic."</strong><br/><br/>Darius did notice the captain and Growl'Ruk and the male breeder coming. And noticing the captain was not giving Songbird even a chance to rest he spoke sharply.<strong>"I said only for one night just for her to enjoy the crowds. I didn't say this performance was to be for every night. Furthermore you failed to protect her and let it get out if hand. She will rest up and recover. Now if you take a step further with my Songbird further towards those doors, I will demote you from Captain so fast you'll wish you never left the estate"</strong>Diabelle didn't know whether to be turned on or frightened by Darius taking command like this but his presence was enough to make her do as he demanded.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Darius rolls Diplomacy and gets a 30 (forgot to adjust the added number)<br/>At 2021-09-23 11:44:34, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a15 Result: 32 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=156021)<br/><br/>Darius rolls Intimidation and gets a 32.<br/>At 2021-09-23 11:51:55, Laughing Hyena (uid: 10552) rolls: 1d20a15 Result: 32 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=156022)
