Negotiating (Finished)

[Kotone]

XX

Kotone was stop as her brother had her good. Her wrist and arms was held back so she can't go at her. Lucky she that far away from her. If any closer she could still use her legs to break he neck in two. Her lips moved clearly upset as some of the words were not so nice coming out. Mostly it was why she should care their race is weak bugs or she started it or my favorite she a bit fat lair that horny little b*tch. Of course there are some day people are glad Kotone can make sounds like this time.

'Lair! You sl*t! Trying to get at my bother our king again! I will not allow it' She yell at her thought no sound came out. She was clearly upset. Merik should know how upset she is from the war meeting not to long ago. This was her first time meeting the women face to face and she already hated the women more then anything in the world. Heck she would talk Ruma's nerd talk for a month then see a second of this bug. She would of used the f word but knowing the bug she might take it to heart. 'Go bottle yourself' her lips moved as she was clearly upset. She turn back to her brother hoping he let her go so she could stab the bug or heck bottle her up. ... more on stabbing now but still. Let her at her!

The guard that let go of the queen looked shocked at how upset Kotone was. They could read her lips clearly and it seem she was really upset. Not wanting to stay around to much longer in case blood was spilled they left.

Merik kept a firm hold on Kotone as Titania got closer, unable to tell what his cousin was saying but certain it was not nice.

"Titania, you may want to keep back...you aren't exactly one of her favorite people...in fact you're tied for last place on a list of two people..." he said kindly trying to keep her at a safe distance as Kotone twisted in his grip to look at him, clearly still very angry. When he spoke to his cousin though it was much sterner almost like a parent to a disobedient child. "Kotone! Bi e-ena kalsk! Titania as'müs pas vatišake!"

[ooc: I think the Gerudo bit is right...I'm barely awake but I think it looks right so I'm going to assume it's right, good night lol]

[titania]

After all the work Titania often did to make sure she was as likable as possible, she was surprised that there was someone with such venom towards her. She wasn't really paying attention to the words coming out of her mouth, she was too used to people with speech so watching the mouth was never really a priority for her. Her eyes instead were focused on Merik, his big strong arms holding back his sister, and probably saving Titania's life.

She propped herself up against the wall, leaning against it, still watching the girl struggle in Merik's arms. "I can only imagine what I did to earn the ire of your sister. Although if it's what I think it is, I'm surprised the list is only two people." She laughed, wondering how Merik could only manage to bed two people to earn such ire from Kotone.

"Anyway, I found another shard. It's on one of Seraphina's gentries. I'd tell you who but I was drunk so I can't remember."

It was clearly seen that Kotone words or lips were not getting to this dumb bug lady. She struggle some more as she wanted at that women. But she heard Merik as it true she has a list however he really have no seen all her list. She knew of other encounters that was just a list of non gerudo mainly in which she need to find a cleaver way to get ride of them. Other on her list either been ship to long journeys in which they won't return for a very long time or might get killed at. Heck she out right killed some or fought them in a battle of rights. However one she can't seem to touch is one of her cousins but she went in to hiding and has not came out form it.

Merik twisted around so her face was facing him now as he spoke their tongue to her. She shook her head at him. 'As Titania pas Katabi?' she question him as no sounds came out of her lips. 'If no then she is mocking us! Mocking the gerudo females... she wears our clothing. Sneak in here like one of us. I did what I have to. I took her to prision like everyone as she did not tell me her name then... She get out and mock our guards. She fly around mocking us as she wants you....' her lips went on but she clam down a bit but she was still shaking with anger.

'No matter if she is a Queen she mock our people. If you dont let me regain our honor then your no Ti Marik to Gerudo' Kotone lip to him as her golden eyes stare in to him. She was not kidding at this as it was true she did mock their people a dishonor them. However Kotone was getting yelled at and not the Queen.

[Merik Dragmire]

Merik gave Titania a glance that clearly said 'not the right time' before turning his attention fully back to Kotone.

"Nat, opríλ as'müs." he growled, though they both knew that already. His face darkened at the rest of her words though and when he spoke it was with barely controlled anger. "Now you listen to me and you listen good because I will only say this once:

1) The clothes were given by me, she did me a service and received payment for it.

2) I don't blame you for taking her to the cells. You found someone that, to you, appeared to be in disguise and infiltrating the Fortress so you did your duty as one of my guards. However when I asked one of the guards what was going on she knew that the escaped prisoner was the Fairy Queen which means you did too when you issued the order for her death. DID YOU DECIDE TO OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT A WAR WITH THE FAERIES IS ALSO A WAR WITH THE GORONS, HUMANS, MINISH, OOCCA, ZORA, AND HYLIANS!?

3) Don't try and play this off as a slight against the Gerudo, you're taking this as an attack against your own honor. You would risk the complete annihilation of our people just so you could kill her so don't you even think of telling me I'm not doing the right thing for the Gerudo here because you're intentions are no more noble Isa Kotone.

[OOC Note: Everything Merik says in this post is in Gerudo it's just not all the words I need are translated over and I didn't feel like jumping back and forth throughout.]

[titania]

Titania nodded, realizing that there was a family issue developing here. Though she could not understand what was being said, it didn't take social skills to know that Merik was clearly upset. If only she hadn't gotten the doors wrong, this wouldn't have happened. In a way, she felt bad, but at the same time, this girl seemed to have a vendetta against Titania.

It seemed like Merik had her back, so she was able to relax more, sitting against the wall now as she waited for her time to shine. She didn't want to get in between them any more than she already had. Although if she knew why she was getting in between them, she might think differently on the matter.

Kotone knew he was going to say that and before she say something else he spoke more. She did not know he gave her the clothing and he was not upset of putting her in the cell. However was when she said to kill the bug lady. She still thought it be the best course to her even thought she was not using her heat right now. It true it would start a war but they already on the break of war as is.

Then he told her more and it was all about her none about that women. He was still protecting her and putting the blame on her. Sure she made mistakes but she would not have to. Well she can't put blame on him as he the King. He head went down as her lips moved softly. 'És Rižo' as he lied as she was no however sh is sorry to making him upset. She still wanted to kill that women or harm her or something. However she knew she can't by Merik's orders. She knew that women was going to have her way again with Merik and there was nothing she can do about it. She knew Ruma told her about her jealously and all but she can't help it. 'You can let me go... I .." her lips moved again as she did not know what to do now. 'go...'

[Merik Dragmire]

Merik had to force back a smirk when Kotone apologized though his next words were much softer than before.

"We're too much alike Kotone which is why I know you aren't sorry about trying to kill her, you're sorry because you got caught. And I also know that there is more to this than you're letting on, so I want you to go and find something to calm you down. I'm going to escort Titania out and then I'm going to the Coliseum to calm myself a bit. When you're ready to discuss this rationally come join me." he said calmly as he released her and stepped towards Titania, switching back to the common tongue as he led her down the opposite end of the hall.

"I'm sorry about that Titania, I knew Kotone didn't like you but I didn't expect she'd ever try anything like that...I think it's for the best if I just show you out..."

[titania]

Titania breathed a sigh of relief as everything seemed to calm down and return to relative normalcy. However, she also pouted when she heard Merik's comments about her simply leaving. Although she did come here for some fun and in a way got it, it wasn't the fun she was hoping for.

"Yeah I guess you're right." She got up off the floor and dusted herself off. She still wasn't sure how to judge today. It was certainly exhilarating in a way, but she also didn't accomplish her goals. "By your leave, King Merik."

Kotone blinks then laughed thought no sound came from her. It was true as Merik knew her to well. Her lies seem to not effect him to much at all. Unlike when he was a kid he was growing up. However his words were true as there was something she was not telling him and it seem she might have to tell him sooner then later. Even if this bug lady some around more often he needed to know why she acted like this. Kotone as let go as she rub her wrist and shoulder a bit.

Merik had a strong grip on her thought. He switched back to normal talking now no longer speaking in gerudo. She nodded to him as she was going to head to the Gerudo Training area. It been upgraded since the old times thanks to Ruma stuff she figure she can take her anger out there. However she left she turn back to the bug lady and gave her one of her golden glares. A glare threatening her if she dare come back she kill her. Then with a smile to Merik she turn and runs off before she get in more trouble.

[Merik Dragmire]

"And now you can see another very good reason why I have to be careful about who I take to bed." Merik said quietly once they were a few hallways away.

Quickly glancing around to ensure they were alone he turned and pressed her up against the wall, bending to kiss her for a few quiet seconds before releasing her.

"Damn shame you had to go and stir up the guards because you look amazing in that outfit...though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more concerned with what you have hidden away beneath." he said with a smirk as his eyes took in every inch of her. "Next time give me some warning, I know a good place in Westport we can visit."

It wasn't much longer before they stood out in the desert sun, though he led her a good distance from the guard's sight just in case.

"Well Queen Titania, I certainly hope that today hasn't harmed the chance for peace between our peoples. It would be a shame to allow these negotiations to fall apart over a single incident."

[titania]

Titania remained silent until they were a good distance from the fortress. She gladly accepted compliments from all takers, especially ones with power and strength.

"Just so we're clear, your majesty, no matter what I wear, I look amazing." She looked him over once as well. He seemed to look even better now than he did before. It was a damn shame she had to go and get caught.

"You'll be sure to hear from me. The next time we meet in Westport, we'll see how the negotiations go. For now, we'll leave the status uncertain." She spread her wings and lifted herself off the ground. "However, it would be rude of me to leave without giving you a sample, now wouldn't it." Making sure no guards were within viewing distance, she flew up to his height and threw herself against him, planting a kiss right upon him.

[Merik Dragmire]

Merik took the time to enjoy this kiss, he knew the patrol routes on the outside as well as any of the guards and they had a small window to be alone; unfortunately not a big enough window to find a diplomatic solution to their mutual problem. After a time he gently pulled back from Titania and brushed back some of her hair.

"The patrol will be passing this way soon so you should probably be off...once I've given Kotone a little time to cool off I'll try and sort this mess out. Take care of yourself on the journey back alright?" the Gerudo said with a bit of genuine concern; she was, at the very least, a friend afterall. Though he did shatter the touchy-feely-moment when he added with a wink. "I hate to think you might die on the road without my being able to give you a proper sendoff."

With that he gave her a final wave and dashed away...

[SUPER EXIT]

[titania]

Titania smirked. Again, wonderful. Leave it to the King of the Gerudo to be the diplomatic type. She wished she could stay longer, but of course discretion was always best in these circumstances.

"Of course. You're Merik, king of the Gerudo. You'll make sure everything is settled. I doubt you're one who would see the situation unfinished." She giggled at the wink, although a bit surprised. He never struck her as one to do such a thing. He seemed so aggressive on the outside. But alas, she would have to wait to see that aggressive side again.

"I'll be fine. Maybe get some sand in my hair but a dip in the spring will solve that. Keep up the" she licked her lips and sighed "good work." He had left soon after, and it was time for her to say her goodbyes as well.
