[D6 EM] Drawing Attention (Olymer's Suite)

[Lord Olymer Tyrell]

“How can you be so naïve?” he groaned, “of course he could be the source. Servants gossip, didn’t I just say this?” Olymer massaged his temples, “you didn’t need to explain anything to anyone, all you needed to do was have Claryssa stay with you. And if for some Stranger-forsaken reason that wasn’t possible, how difficult is it to explain you need a chaperone? You were raised better than to be making such foolish mistakes.”

[Claryssa]

"With every bit of due respect, my Lord Tyrell, I agree it would have been best if I were there. However, the whole point was that Kylie be safe while I was away. I trusted no one more than House Marten. And as they trust their man..."

Claryssa: Helping Kylie - 11 Success

[Kylie Redwyne]

"The Martens have proven themselves loyal. And even if Claryssa were there, this person could have lied and said she wasn't in the tent. This accusation is meant to be slanderous toward me as nothing untoward happened."

She grew even more serious and slightly apologetic. "I wish this had gone differently. I truly do. But now I need your help, Olymer. Let's find who has done this to me and their reasons. Having dinner in a secure place but with witnesses should not be such a scandal. I understand why it could be seen that way, but someone has lied about this innocent meeting to besmirch my reputation. I swear to the Old Gods and New that Ser Leovall was acting as my guard yesterday, and as a friend to House Redwyne."

"Olymer, I don't think I've properly explained. While at the market after the murder, someone pulled me into an alleyway with a knife. Claryssa fought them off. Without her, I do not think I'd be sitting here with you today. The Martens know this and wished to protect me as Claryssa made a map of the market place so that Terrance might help her find this villain and bring him justice."

Kylie sighed. "Perhaps it is time to write to my parents..."

Olymer is defeated!

[Lord Olymer Tyrell]

“Kylie, I pity your future husband.” He passed a hand over his face, “I will make inquiries, if it will quiet you. You are so damned bent on the dangers to your physical person that you are blind to just how scandalous your actions really are. Perhaps, when I turn up no source, you will finally understand that there is nothing, nothing innocent about a girl your age meeting privately with a strange man.”

Olymer huffed and muttered to himself, “assuming if we can find a man who’ll marry you after this.”

[Kylie Redwyne]

Kylie smiled sheepishly. "Of course you're right, Cousin. I've made so many mistakes. Thank you for your help. I know I'm undeserving, but I appreciate it."

[Lord Olymer Tyrell]

Olymer shook his head, “will you please keep Claryssa with you at all times? I cannot think of any reason you two should be separated for longer than a few minutes. Not until you’re safely back home.”

[Kylie Redwyne]

Kylie curtsied deeply. "I promise, that will be the case." Claryssa followed suit.

"I feel I should retire to my tent, Olymer. It's been quite the morning."

[GhostWolfe]

Olymer grunted in agreement, “very well, we’ll talk later.”
