You wait for a few more minutes, talking of inconsequential things. Mostly relating to your father's business contacts and the plotting of the other noble families. Apparently the Demirs have been trying to muscle in on your family's trading lanes, though they've had little success. Even as weak as your family is after losing their fleet to those pirates, the dregs of your navy is still enough to trounce the Demirs soundly.

What's far more concerning is the increase in bandit raids, likely ordered or at least encouraged by the Demirs, against your caravans. Your family has never had the best footmen. Sure, their elite guards are as good as those of any house but their rank and file may as well be peasants tossing weapons about. Granted, they're flinging about very high quality weapons in quite expensive armor. If it were merely an issue of equipment, you'd have no problem. Rather it's discipline and skill which your family's soldiers lack. Your father has been thinking about hiring a few new drill instructors, veteran soldiers of some renown, to whip your household guard into shape.

You're reminded of your fellow apprentice, Rajani. If you recall correctly she's a Demir. Your two families were once close, in fact you think your great grandmother may have been of their line, but relations have soured in the last few years. Something about one of your cousins insulting their patriarch. Then they went and sank one of your family's dhows as a way of retribution. Then your father had their entire fleet burned in the harbor and one of their estates looted. Just minor incidents, really. Nothing of much import. At least, according to your family.

To you it sounds like the beginnings of a war. Internecine warfare is the norm among the upper nobility, a time honored tradition. You can't help but think it weakens the Shahdom. It would be better to turn their attention towards healthy competition, rather than looting and burning the other's holdings. Better to advance the cause of everyone and turn your strength against shared enemies.

Eventually you stand. “Excuse me, everyone. I feel I ought to look for my younger brother. It is getting late, and I do worry he may have come to harm.”

Your father waves a hand dismissively. “I'm sure he's fine. He's probably just brooding somewhere. I tell you, he's been the foulest mood as of late. I can't imagine why, his business endeavors are advancing apace and though some of his investments have failed to pay out as well as he expected he's still wealthier now than he was a year ago.”

You smile politely. “Yes, well. I feel it my duty as the older sibling to watch after the younger. I wouldn't want him getting in to any trouble.”

Your father nods, tacitly permitting you go search for Salil. You make your leave quickly, ignoring the concerned looks Vasuda cast in your direction. Once you're away from the family, you channel just a touch of magic. The world seems viewed as if through a green filter, the plant life surrounding the estate lighting up bright, glowing green. You spy the two guards standing at the main gate, and a third standing outside the foyer entrance. You spot your family in the dining room, and twenty or so men in the guard's barracks, but the rest of the house seems abandoned.

You set off for the courtyard. So awash was the area with life that you couldn't properly determine whether or not something you were looking at was a man or a plant. You slip past the curtain and into the open night air. The sky is clear and the stars shine brightly, allowing you some light to see by. The moon is but a mere sliver tonight, and so of little use. Of course, torches line the walkway but their light only reaches so far.

You take a slow stroll around the courtyard, but don't encounter your brother. You try looking in some of the usual hiding spots that you can recall; that alcove you were reading in earlier, a the boughs of a tree which are spaced just so, perfect for relaxing in; a small, disused guard tower on the north west end of the perimeter wall. He's nowhere to be found.

Finally you make your way through the house and up to the front gate, clearing your throat to get the attention of the two guards standing there. They're not the same two who failed to recognize you when you arrived, or at least you don't think they are. The one to your left, a stocky man with a barrel chest and the yellowest eyes you've ever seen, salutes you. His companion, a comparatively scrawny young man, belatedly does so as well.

“Have either of you seen my brother, Salil, pass through the gates?” You ask, beginning to suspect he merely stormed off without his wife. Irresponsible, is what it is.

The stocky one nods, dropping his salute. “Yes sir, a few hours ago. He said he wasn't feeling well and that he was retiring for the night.”

Gods above, the gall! Who does such a thing? Your ungrateful little brother, apparently. You suppose you ought to break the news to your parents, and Vasuda. You can't say you're looking forward to it, you can only imagine it will be terribly awkward. “Thank you, I'll let you get back to your duty.”

The two guards snap off another salute as you turn to leave. It's nice to not only command respect, but to have authority again. Even over those you barely know, merely due to your position in society. You make your way swiftly through the entry hall and into the dining room, where your family is still seated. Uncomfortably you clear your throat to get their attention.

Once you have everyone's eyes, you speak. “It appears as though my brother has already left, returned home. He told the gate guards that he was feeling ill.”

Your father scowls, while Semiha blows out an annoyed sigh. “That son of mine! I can't believe him. He used to be such a sweet boy but lately he's just been incorgible.”

Your mother gently corrects her. “Incorrigible, dear. Anyway, we'll need to have someone escort Vasuda home, then. She's no warrior like that friend of yours, Mikhael.”

Vasuda holds up her hands in mock surrender. “No no, that's fine! Really, I can make it home by myself.”

Your father shakes his head firmly. “No, it really wouldn't do. You will take a contingent of guardsmen with you. It's the least we can do in the absence of my son to fulfill his duties as a husband.”

Vasuda winces, just slightly. “It's not necessary, I promise. I've a dagger with me to fend off any thugs which I might meet on the road. I wouldn't want to offend my dearest husband if he's feeling ill.”

You're not sure how being escorted home by a contingent of guardsmen is an insult to your little brother. If it is, he brought it on himself. He shouldn't have just abandoned his wife in someone else's home, even if it was the home of his family.

>Offer to escort her home, in your brother's stead.
>Suggest she stay the night here, you've guest rooms aplenty.
>Just let her wander through the streets at night alone, she's armed. What could go wrong?

I want to see how our families business is doing in depth.
Look into small things we could help out with.
I wouldn't mind finding out this bandits camp finding proof of their deeds with the demirs and ruining that royal family
Or have our dad take the evidence and strong arm them into handing over 90% of all their trade profits or something exorbitant.
I wouldn't mind taking another side quest. Especially if it's from our father for our family's benefit

I somehow don’t feel safe leaving that girl alone with that husband. Little brother isn’t exactly acting rationally and I fear he may just wait for Mikhael to leave town and then act even worse in "revenge".

I think some other family members need to be told. They will know to keep it discreet, while also having Mikhael”s trust to keep her alive.

Jesus

If anyone want to legally get Vasuda as mistress than the easiest way to do so is to get Salil banished.

I know we just spent a bunch of money but maybe we can appease the other family somehow so shit doesn't get out of hand.

>>36723634
Fuck, you're right. That would mean his marriage was declared null and void.
But it would also shame the family...

>>36723656
Yes but if it were him attempting to killing us how would it be seen.

>>36723634
But I don’t want to go that far. Brother is a dick, but he is family. If he continues to hit Vasuda, then something must be done. Otherwise, not so much.

How would you people feel about leaving the last brooch in the city. It could be left with our family or old master and anyone who wants to talk to us can borrow it for that time.

>>36723635
Nah fuck them, all we did it bitch about thier father and they sunk one of our ships.

You sit down next to your sister Pratima, deciding to leave this matter up to your father's discretion. Your father, for his part, merely shakes his head at Vasuda's pleading. “If my son is offended that I'd have his wife delivered safely to his home then perhaps he ought to reassess his priorities and stop being such a delicate little flower. It's entirely his fault we're even forced to have this conversation.”

He nods to Nadiyya, who reaches over to a silken rope dangling from the wall and gives it a few good tugs. A few moments later a slave steps in through a side door half concealed in the wall itself. Servants in your country are supposed to be seen as little as possible by guest, and noble families often spend quite a bit of money ensuring that their slaves can get around the estate without ever setting foot in the hallways. Your family is no exception.

“Bring a contingent of guards here to escort my son's wife to my son's estate. Five men, no more and no less.” The slave nods, then quickly steps through the concealed doorway and into the servant's halls beyond. Only a few minutes later a burly human strides into the room. He's short, by your people's standards, but massive by the standards of humans. Six foot four if he's an inch, and broad in addition.

Captain Koldo Azarola, one of the most famous mercenaries to wander the sands of Pidjata in the last three centuries. He made a name for himself pillaging the lands of the Samrajya during the last border war. You can see four other men, these proper Samja, milling about in the hall.

He bows low to your father, touching his fingers to his forehead and his chest. When he speaks, his Samjan is slurred and clumsy. Barely understandable really. “What'cha be havin' need of me for?”

Your father inclines his head to the human only slightly. “Koldo, I'd have you escort Vasuda to my son's home. Be sure she's delivered unharmed to his estate and safely inside before you return.”

(1/2)

He bows again, and turns to face Vasuda. “You'll be comin' wif me then, miss?”

She nods, though the look on her face seems to suggest she just caught a whiff of some particularly foul stench. She stands and strides out of the room, Captain Koldo following after a moment's hesitation. He seems just a touch dimwitted, but a military genius from what you understand. With a force of two hundred men, humans at that, he bested a contingent of three hundred Samjan with Vatis support en route to reinforce the Samrajya's armies at the front.

Once the guards have left you turn your attention to Pratima. Despite her ridiculous outfit those gems embedded in her palms do inspire curiosity. What are they, and where did she get them? You're curious about that brooch on her strap which binds her single pauldron to her shoulder. Ignoring how asinine is is to have only a single pauldron, the brooch itself looks quite interesting. Gold with an array of carvings surrounding the red gem at the center. It might be some sort of enchanted artifact.

“Tell me, Pratima-” She sets down a bottle of wine, her glass refilled, and turns her attention to you. She seems to be quite capable of holding her liquor, this must be her sixth or seventh glass of the night and she hardly seem tipsy at all. Granted, she's been pacing herself and she did just eat a large meal. “-what do those gems embedded in your palms actually do? They don't appear to be a simple piercing, nor can I imagine how one would go about getting their palm pierced.”

She giggles lightly, shaking her head and swallowing a sip of wine. Perhaps just a touch drunker than you'd thought. “No no, no. These I found in an old temple complex to the south east. Long abandoned, a temple to Pani I believe. I'd thought they were just gemstones or some such, but when I picked them up they started to burn like hot coals. I tried to throw them down, but I couldn't. It was horribly painful while they burned themselves into my flesh.”

She holds her hands out towards you, palms up so you can get a good look. Her flesh seems to have healed around the gems, just a touch of scar tissue bulging out around the beautiful blue gems. Turquoise, you believe. Fairly common, your people find a lot of it in north western Pidjata. “Ever since then I've just found casting so much easier, really they're wonderful little gems. Not to mention I can use them to drain vys, both ambient and from other people.”
(1/3)

>>36724777
To befair, it is possible, it just seems really unlikely from the info we have access to.

You raise an eyebrow. “You can cast? What elements are you familiar with?” You imagine as an adventurer she's picked up a few things. However, the girl's only twenty years old. She may as well be a child. You can't imagine she's particularly talented at anything in particular.

She coughs, clearing her throat. “Well, about that. I've got a basic understanding of fire magic. Father taught me after I told him I intended to join the guard. Well, that fell through so I started adventuring. I've gotten a little better, but to be honest I don't really understand how one actually improves skill with magic without an instructor.”

You shake your head, plucking up a cup and inspecting it briefly to ensure that it's clean before filling it from a bottle of sweet red. “It's quite difficult to get started on a routine of self-improvement. Several of my companions are struggling with it as well. All you really need to do is meditate.”

She scratches the back of her neck. “Well, yeah. I know that. It's just I don't know what I'm supposed to meditate on. The concept of fire? That's how I got started and I can't seem to make hardly any progress with that method anymore.”

You shake your head. “No no, you need to use your magic while you're meditating. Heat a bucket of water or-”

She cuts in. “Wait, what? How can you cast while meditating? I can barely maintain a trance while I'm sitting still, how could I keep a clear head while simultaneously trying to cast?”

(2/3)

>>36724767
Dictionaries nigga, use one

You raise an eyebrow. “You ought to be able to simply feel the magic and let it do as it wishes, guiding it with a delicate hand but not trying to direct it like some sort of authoritarian tyrant. My master once compared it to child rearing.” It quickly becomes clear that, should you wish to help your sister improve her magical talent, you'll need to actually sit down and meditate with her. She simply can't seem to wrap her head around such basic concepts as detaching herself from the results of her actions and allowing vys to act as it wills.

Eventually conversation with your sister peters out and you stand, excusing yourself briefly before making your way over to your father and his wives. You lean down, speaking quietly to your father. “If you'll allow me, I'd like to speak with you and mother in private.” You turn your attention to Semiha. “This concerns you as well, so you ought be present.”

“What is it exactly you wish to speak of? Can it not be said here in the presence of the family?” You shake your head, expression serious, and after a moment he nods. Semiha and your mother follow suit. The three of them stand while you straighten yourself, your father excusing the four of you from the table and walking with you to his study. He holds the door open for you, your mother, and Semiha to enter and then slips inside afterwards, closing the door behind him.

Your mother is the first to speak. “Well, what is it that's so important you need to speak with us in private? You know it's rude to just leave the table when others are still chatting.”

You should still know how to spell the words you use. Writing "implied" as "imolied" has nothing to do with not being a native.

Shezade's way is more for advanced users since it doesn't make use of the "gray comfort zone" that the regular use, using Shezade's akin to sunning yourself using cooking oil instead of the one that protects you against this

>>36724966
No shit mate, it's 23:25, typing on a shitty tablet because my computer is fucked, and I have slept 4 hours in the last 40 hours or so.
I don't have the attention or paitence to correct every typo I make right now.

>>36724980
I'm not talking about that. Some sessions before we learned that technique Mikhael read about how the Varishta complained that the common method of meditating is wrong and any proper vatis should do it properly. Something about opening your mind instead of emptying it.

I fear that without proper guidance little sis will eventually get into big trouble. Even her taking the life of adventure is pretty bad idea.

>>36724992
I hope we can be polite and shit while being blunt. His mother IS right here, after all.

I say what we customize our GM robes we add shekels dangling off of it like our hician armor

I've participated since day one, but in the end this shit is secondary to your health and actual responsibilities. Go sleep

>>36725132
Speaking of that should we decorate it with something for our more special kills? If we decorate it for every kill we'll probably run out of room fast

>>36725170
Jeeze, that's almost as bad as naming your sword or getting tattoos for each kill.

>>36725110
I intially thought your 'use a dictionary' comment referred to some other part of my post, to befair, like some horrible lack of synonyms or bad sentence structure, that's why I brought up being ESL.
>>36725144
Don't worry mate, I'll have some nice sleep tomorrow or somehing, and I'm used to decreased amounts of sleep now.
I appreciate the intent though.

>>36725192
I was actually referring to the hiacian armor. Var-Var's look after he put it on spoke more about his past fights than 100 stories could have.

>>36725254
He had an actual reason for that though, fightig in a war and being part of the special forces though.
We'd just be some arrogant pompous ass masquarading as some great general.

>>36725132
I would like our family crest on it.

>>36725170

How about for each dungeon we clear with size and complexity based on the difficulty of the dungeon

>>36725254
Var var was a huge fucking badass though. I don't think we've quite earned that sort of thing yet.

>>36725342
...I have no idea why I typed that second 'though'
>>36725366
That, on the other hand, seems much better, if still somewhat too fast for my liking.
Maybe once we return from the Pa'vala?

Some things to consider which came to me while reading the last thread, please discuss:
- Might Darzi want to invest in the ships and mine as well? If dad is okay with it and can use more money, that is. Since she is Samjan, and a prestigious guard captain, he might be interested. I don't know how feasible it would be for our non-Samjam friends to do the same, though. All of them are richer than almost anybody we know, and the First Bank of Void gives no interest, so it might be worth a try.
- The opium and other stuff from the bandits is packed in El-Amin boxes if I recall correctly. We might need to put them elsewhere before somebody recognizes them from his lost caravan. Now that I think about it, a part of it might even have belonged to our family.
- Don't forget to give a bit of the opium to Master Karim.
- What will be the consequences for Darzi when/if she takes the robe test in El-Amin? Will she be have to work for the state, like the other vatis? She will not be allowed to marry, does she want to? Doing the test in An thus might be better, depending on her personal plans.

- Can we please stop telling again and again that we assassinated Lord Spiros? Rule no. 1 for murder is "leave no evidence, no witnesses", rule no. 2 is "never ever ever talk about it, it will come back to bite your ass". I'm not concerned about Master Karim, dad or best brother, but the last thing we need is for Salil to tell the Anthus rulers, when we already successfully blamed the hooker.

>>36725366
I'd rather not. One advantage of full armor is not being recognized, besides, we'd be more likely to give the family a bad name that way.

>>36725377
>>36725375
Well yeah I was thinking like 3 decorations max. One for Spiros, one for Longia and one for Namek.

We could also decorate our grandmaster robes with something for each grandmastery we have. Although, that may already be a thing, I don't remember.

>>36725440
1. Too late for that.
2. Sure, we do still have to remember to keep one as a gift for our master.
3. Oh.
4. I don't really think there's any point to her taking the test. Especially not in El-Amin. But she can do whatever she wants.
5. Yeah I was also kind of pissed at that.

>>36725451

Agree, we may want to get different sets of robes depending on what we are doing.

>>36725475
That is a thing, only done by state vatis and would make us look like a pompous ass, and not one with good tate, but a chuuni arrogant one.
The most I can deal with is some subtle white crystal pattern at the end/sides of our robe, to commemorate our first GM meditation.

>>36725475
Putting you elements on your robe for everyone to see always struck me as a terrible idea if you're not already famous for your abilities or settled down. I'd rather keep the element of surprise when needed.

>>36725529
>chuuni
>bad
No go away.

>>36725536
This would be a valid point if not for nature magic being pretty much known by anyone strong enough that will warrant us hiding our skill from them. As it is, having people know we're a six time grandmaster or something at a glance would work wonders with intimidation and persuasion.

>all these faggots thinking kills earned in war are somehow super important
>all these faggots thinking that you gotta be a big bad mofo to decorate your robes
Var var wasn't always walking death. Nigga started somewhere, and I doubt he started decorating after he was a full fledged one man army

>>36725536
Its just your grandmaster elements. Anyway normal nature vatis should be able to sense that we are a water grandmaster with the blue dots on our soul.

>>36725440
Which reminds me, we should not take the test in El-Amin either, we might be able to avoid being an official vatis, thus being allowed to marry and shit.
Remember that state vatis who are GM are expected to work for the state all the time or something.

>>36725622
...Where do you think we came from? Somas ass?

>>36725622
I thought we were already an official vatis since age 25, Aghtaki or not.

>>36725622
We are already an official vatis. We took a test for Vatis rank in Water.

You consider for a moment how you want to address this issue. You could dress it up a bit, and try to be elegant. You could overexaggerate if you wanted to make sure something got done about it. However, neither seems particularly appropriate considering the seriousness of the issue at hand. At a loss for any way to say what you must delicately, you decide to merely be blunt and clinical.

“Vasuda came to speak with my earlier, while you were eating dinner. She confessed that her husband, Salil, beats her and showed me bruises to prove it. When I healed her wounds, I found that she had four cracked ribs, a fracture in her arm, welts across her back, and bruises running up and down both arms. Now, as I've said. I healed her wounds. She's fine now. However, I believe something must be done about Salil.”

Silence reigns, your father has kept his face carefully devoid of emotion, he merely stares at you impassively. Semiha is less stoic. She looks absolutely panicked, although she's keeping her mouth shut. Just staring at you wide eyed and agape. As for your mother, well, you've never seen her scowl quite so in all your nearly twenty seven years of lie. “I spoke with him earlier, and admit that I may have reacted a bit stronger than I would have liked. He admitted to hitting her, tacitly, and explicitly told me that he'd do as he pleased to his 'whore wife'. I would assume that I am the reason he stormed off earlier.”

Your father shakes his head. “You should have come to me with this first, before you spoke with him yourself. If things 'got heated' as you put it, you may have simply inspired him to take out his dislike for you on Vasuda.” His expression softens. “However, it's better you informed us late than not informing us at all. We'll need to keep this quiet, but I will have a talk with the boy. Honestly, a very gifted lad. I love him dearly, but he needs to think more carefully about things which don't involve money. He's too impulsive.”

(1/2)

Your mother slaps your father lightly on the arm. “Are you kidding me? Do you know what I'd do if you started smacking me or one of my lessers around? You'd have your throat slit that very same night! I'll be damned if I'll put up with one of the boys I helped raised being an abusive little shit!” Well, that isn't the reaction you were expecting from your mother. Honestly, you can't imagine your kindhearted mother slitting your fathers throat. You don't really want to. Your mother turns her attention to you. “You did good, Mikhael. I hope you slapped him upside the head. Maybe he needs some sense knocked into him, fight fire with fire and all that nonsense.”

Your father seems wholly unphased. “Yes, well. Fortunate you're married to me and not my son, then. Fortunate as well Vasuda isn't nearly so willful as you are. Were one of my sons to be murdered by his own wife people would start to ask questions about why she did it. It would be a poor situation all around. No, it's best to handle this calmly and within the family.”

Semiha looks on the edge of tears. “I can't believe he'd do something like that! I always tried to teach him to be nice, how could he turn out this way?” Your mother wraps one arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a hug and patting her back while Semiha starts to sob.

You're still a little shocked after hearing your mother use such course, violent language. Your father turns his attention to you, while your mother consoles Semiha. “Can you provide any insight into just why it is Salil hits her? Has she been unfaithful, or does he think that to be the case? Does she provoke him? Is he just sadistic?”

>He implied that he thinks she's unfaithful.
>He told you that she would prefer to be your bride rather than his.

And

This helps them understand that they're having communication issues.

>>36725887

>He told you that she would prefer to be your bride rather than his.

The reason that he gave me is that she called out my name on their wedding night. If that happened, it's not something pleasant, but it in no way excuses what he did.

I can see where Mik got his traits.

>>36725887

Was it implied at all by Sally that he called her a whore because she fucks around or because shes married and wants some Mikky-D?

>He spits out the words. “Fuck you, Mikhael.” A pause to take in another shuddering breath. “Do you know what it's like, to have your wife call out your brother's name on your wedding night?” You wince. Damn, that's harsh. You can see why he'd harbor some resentments for an insult like that, but it's still no excuse to beat the woman. Especially not as severely as he does. “So fuck you, and mind your own fucking business-” He's pulled himself to his feet, apparently having finally caught his breath. “-I'll do as I please to my whore of a wife.”

Look down, back up, where are you? You're in El-Amin with the mer your mer could match if he wore an ancient cursed mask. What's in your hand, back at me. I have it, it's a spear assembled from the bones of a dragon. Look again, the spear is now my penis.

Oi Soma, does Mik hate Salil enough to knock spicy curry out of it's spot on the list of dislikes?

You clear your throat. “Well, besides the 'whore of a wife' comment he stated that she called out my name on their wedding night.” Your father winces. “Additionally, she told me that he hits her whenever she makes any sort of mistake, but had no idea why he hates her. I'm not entirely convinced either of them are telling the whole truth, but I don't doubt for an instant that Salil hits her.”

Your father shakes his head slowly. “That's... harsh. I can see why he'd be upset. No reason to strike her, of course.” He sighs. “Well, assuming for now that they're both telling the truth I think we ought to find your brother a second wife, more suited to his taste. One preferably unconnected to you. Perhaps with the distraction of a woman he actually likes he'll leave Vasuda alone, and if that fails we'll need to simply separate the two. For now, I think a stern talking to ought to suffice. Tomorrow, I'll call him to the estate.”

You nod. You suppose it's not a terrible plan, though you can't quite shake the feeling that it isn't a good idea to rewards this sort of behavior. That is indeed what this seems to you, a reward. Still, you can't exactly think of any other solutions. The only way to have the marriage annulled would be to have your brother banished, and you don't see that happening. You couldn't exactly have your own brother killed, even if he is detestable. Having Vasuda live entirely separate from your brother seems the best solution to you, but a touch costly and you've no doubt it would prove a lonely existence.

(/12/)

>>36726808
MIK AM DOMINANT JEW, HE SHOW LESSER JEWS WHAT IT MEAN TO BE REAL JEW

>>36726709
No, Soma said she is an ordinary gypsy, if she was a chieftain's daughter that would make it barely sufferable instead of taboo. Or something like that.

>>36726856
Does that mean 12 updates?

Once your mother manages to calm Semiha down, she provides her own thoughts on the matter. “I think we should skip the new wife and just send Salil away.” That sets Semiha sobbing again, but your mother speaks over the din. “We've enclaves in Aleamond and the successor states where we could send him to live alone, far away from Vasuda. I doubt he'd complain and he'd be able to advance the family's standing abroad. Sending him off to live in some detestable little petty kingdom seems an appropriate punishment for what he's done.”

Your father seems a touch uncomfortable with the idea. “He may be in the wrong, dearest, but I don't think isolating him abroad is the best solution. Surround him with humans and he's like to find himself succumbing to degeneracy.”

>Support your mother's plan, send him away.

I think mom is trying to take advantage of the situation to push Salil's mom down in the pecking order.

Can we use the prism to check out both our brother and his first wife?

>>36727079
Perhaps when we're not in our families house...

>>36727074
Maybe.

>>36727034
>I think mom is trying to take advantage of the situation to push Salil's mom down in the pecking order.
While she is the 2nd wife I don't think she's the 2nd in the roost so to speak. I'd think the Jewest would run a close second then Semi, then the 26'ish wife

>>36727079

>>36727101
The shit about him talking to some one when the room is empty screams void shit to me, so i want to see what he is up to, plus i would like to know if vasuda made it home safe.

>>36727139
He could have just been genuinely brooding.

>>36727115

I think she's alright. I mean, I agree she's no Jew wife, but she seems like a good hearted person, and I'd rather have her around then some scheming black widow type.

>Stay silent, your father has the right of it.

Surround him with humans and he's like to find himself succumbing to degeneracy.
Oh dad, soon you will meet OUR friends...

>>36727019
Mik is racist as in "Samjan master race", but he tolerates others and treats them well. He gave a speech to Zahak about this when we dropped off Tertia.

>>36727155
I rather be safe than sorry.

>>36727121
.....not going to lie, that's what I figured would happen with the guards and Vasuda.

>>36727121
>>36727198
I'll vote for prism just to see mik's reaction if this actually happens.

>>36727187

Its more like "Vatis Samjan master race".

>>36727034
why would it matter.
And It doesn't seem as so.
She is still the favorite.

>>36727226
Moar leik "Royal Family Samjan Master Race, bow down to your Padishahanshahamirdjubir."

>>36727198
Top tier mercenary, in family employ for years. I think it won't happen. But spying on Salil because talking to himself seconded.

>>36727233
She is the alpha wife, but she might do it nonetheless. Some people feel threatened for nothing. I know a guy who feels threatened by his gf's best female friend.

>>36727164
She's a good wife/woman/mother for sure but
Step-Mothers:
(41) Semiha Abdul-Hakim: Father's second wife. A beautiful, if dimwitted woman. Very doting. Has always treated you well.
(33) Nadiyya Abdul-Hakim: A distant and cold woman, but unbelievably shrewd. Taught you everything you know about haggling.
(26) Ayda Abdul-Hakim: Father's fourth wife. The last scion of a once wealthy and noble family. Married for her wealth.

With our mom being head bitch she'd need a strong 2nd wife to help run the house/take up the mantle when she can't. I think she's Head Mother in charge of raising the kids while our mom and Nadiyya run the house.

That's how I'd run my harem at least.

Say Soma, did you ever explain how long a Samjan woman stay fertile?

>>36727338
Ten bucks says they're dyking it up behind his back

An idea strikes you. A brilliant idea. “Father, there's a way for us to use this situation to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.” Normally you'd probably feel giddy and excited, eager to earn your father's approval. Now though, you just feel a sense of calm confidence. You know your father will love the idea, it's the sort of thing he'd usually come up with.

He turns his attention to you, raising an eyebrow. “Well, how would you suggest we go about doing that? Spit it out, Mikhael. No reason to leave us guessing.”

You clear your throat. “This business with the Demirs is destructive to both of our houses, and you seek to wed Salil to a second wife. Yet at the same time we want to separate him from Vasuda, whom we've established he detest. What I would propose is to marry him to one of the Demirs, and then ship him off to Aleamond or some other such human polity. We wouldn't have to worry about him succumbing to degeneracy and we wouldn't have to worry about him striking Vasuda.”

Your father seems to think on this a moment, weighing the pros and cons no doubt. “What if he were to strike his new wife? Would that not merely raise the ire of the Demirs further instead of brokering the peace you seek? Additionally, why would I want peace with those pompous upstarts?”

You grin. “Hear me out, Father. At the moment we have the upper hand in this little conflict with the Demirs. You sunk their fleet and looted one of their estates. Were we to broker a peace now, it would come across as us being merciful. We are allowing them to bow out with some shred of honor. On the other hand, if they were to strike back against us and we tried to broker a peace afterwards we would come across as beggars.”

(1/2)

>>36726902

Sell it like some kind of a joint venture between the two families where they start some business or something in those lands to advance both families standing..

You hold up a hand to stop your father from interrupting. “As for Salil, if he beats his new wife and the Demirs grow angry with us we'll simply be right back where we began. We won't lose anything by it. That being said, I do not think he is just habitually violent. Growing up I always knew him as more of a schemer than a thug. I'm sure that, in the absence of Vasuda's connection to me, he would've proved a good enough if not necessarily charming husband.”

Your father nods, giving you a sly grin. “Well spoken, Mikhael. Well spoken indeed. Very well, I will send an envoy to the Demirs on the morrow. Gods willing they won't do something stupid like return me his head in a box or some such. Once the envoy is sent off I'll call Salil to the estate and explain my plans for him. I'll be sure to phrase it as a reward for his service to the family. It will take some time to select a bride, organize the wedding, and make arrangements abroad but... he could be off within six months time. That may even be an overestimate.”

Ahh, a scheme well executed. Though you do wonder what will become of Vasuda. You suppose she has handmaidens and servants to keep her company, but it seems a poor substitute for a caring husband.

Perhaps we should give some tuition to our adventuring sister now or at least offer it to her.
Have anyone raised the topic of giving one of our armors to her? Would anyone be against that?

I want to ask Pratima to meditate with us later.

>Ask your father where you'll be staying tonight. You'd like to check on Vasuda and Salil via the Prism.

There is something else going on here with Salil...more than meets the eye...not sure what exactly but he is up to no good and on a scale much bigger than just beating his wife...mark my words...he is possibly involved with the Denir and committing treason against the family...everyone has noticed how he has been much worse than normal later...this indicates a conflict of conscience is going on...

Not now bookfags

>>36727555
Son, if you pass the use of one ellipse then you've already gone too far off the deep end to be saying anything reasonable.

>>36727494
Can we tell our little sister to come to our room for lesson later?

>>36727549
Dunno if the work the same as the centurion but I'd think that the Optio and Tech armor would use some buff by spending vys into them.
From what we've talked with her she's barely out of apprentice rank.

>>36727602
Sounds hot
Anyone else up for banging our imouto?

>>36727650
Pls no.

>>36727650
Only if we can bang mom after

>>36727494
Since talking to our sisters loses, can we do what this anon suggested?
>>36727602
Except include the guard sister so that we can also teach battle meditation.

>>36727602
Oh , you naughty anon.
I kind of don't want to send Salil off thouh, like, I mean Vasuda did tell us she's not asking to be whisked away, just some talking to.
Althogh I guess this works, as he realy will be helping the family now.
So I guess Vasuda will stay with our family from then on, and we'll have some romantic/sexual tension whenever we return and always be on the verge of kind of proposing getting together.
Fun!

>>36727693
>>36727650
Invite Zahhak. It's about time to learn about the birds and bees and the responsibility of being an older brother, even if he has yet to become active.

By the way, who are we going to give our final brooch?
Our master or someone from our family (father or elder brother)

>>36727751
Master.

>>36727721
Why do I have a bad feeling about this.

>>36727751
Our Master. He is a vast repository of knowledge and we are closer with him than any other.

If our family needs to contact us for anything they can ask him.

>>36727751
Master for sage advice in times of need.

>>36727721

>1x Optio Armor
>3x Technician's Armor
Keep in mind that we may keep one tech armor to dismantle and use the parts on Chryss'(got a few more protection on it) if hers doesn't have a repair function.
The Optio is what the regular soldiers used in the Rhynian army if I remember correctly. Shit would be heavy for a wannabe adventurer if it doesn't have the passives bonus of the Centurion.

If you think about giving her the Centurion or the ones Chryss and Darzi wore you can forget about it.

>>36727751
Master, so we can teach him enchanting on the go.

It like you guys are otaku perverts.

>>36727751
Does Zahak's telepathy only extend to Mik? Because if not maybe saving one for him might be a good idea.

>>36727813
N-no..

>>36727796
Optio is what second to commandors used, like a secretary to the ones using the Centurion.
It might be more utility/comfort-focused, I believe.

>>36727820
His father/mother could mind fuck us, and its been revealed that he learned meditation so its safe to assume he can speak to others minds.

>>36727796
I say we offer her to choose between the Optio armor and the Tech armor. we might as well, I doubt they're worth much.

>>36727820
Why save him one if he can do telepathy though? Ican't see the logic in your reasoning.

>>36727848
>Worth much
Only so many exist and they are not being produced

>>36727848
>doubt they're worth much
Those cost us a pretty amount of gold.

>>36727874
We got them as loot.

>>36727883
We bought two of them and got one free if my memory is right.

>>36727895
That's also what I recall.

>>36727883
We bought the Optio one from an armorer in Anthus, I believe.

We bought the Optio armor in anthus.

We found the tech armor as loot.

>>36727873
>>36727874
Optio armor cost us 800 and we found the tech suits.
It's not like we were gonna do anything with them other than sell them or learn some runes from them, and as long as we have the centurion we don't need the others for runes.

>>36727895
We found them down in the mine near the dragons

>>36727912
We found it in Licae along with Prof and Fulvia back in thread 9

>>36727927
Scratch that, we bought it at 500 after haggling, original price was 800.

>>36727964
Meh, pretty cheap.

>>36727982
Then how about we sell it to her.

>>36727964
Well our new clothes cost more than twice that, so it's not like it's a great loss. Plus I don't want our sis to get horribly killed if we can help it.

We forgot to tell our sister to be a jew.

>>36728014
She's an Abdul-Hakim, that's like saying we forgot to tell her how to breathe.

>>36728014
FUCK HOW DID WE FORGET THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FUCK

>>36727948
Quote that and I'll believe you.

>>36728002
>>36728014
How about we make it part of her lessons that we will give her.

>>36728072
As far as mastering magic or adventuring, you surely can never be too much of a jew.

The yuropoor here, good news worried anon, I slept for like two/one and a half hours, so I'm fine now,
