[Ditto Armunn]

---

Slamming the main door to the Armunn keep after she walks in, a very drenched lady of the house, stomps her barefoot way down the inner hallway. Her normal lavender eyes, now gleaming with a deep red tinge, reflected her mood. Just as she was about to step onto the teleporter a servant woman from the kitchen came forward.
"Lady Ditto, I..." Seeing her lady soaking wet & obviously upset, stopped her words. "I'm sorry, my lady. It can wait til morn." Ditto nodded, and continued onto the teleporter.

Once upstairs, she paused infront of the bedchamber door and listened, making sure it was empty before stepping inside. Slamming the door, and leaning against it, as though exhausted, she peered across the room. Noting that everything was as she had left it, her gaze rested on the map and chess pieces still on the large table. A cold reminder as to why she was upset.
"Order. Pfft!" "Law. Pfft!" She stomped over to the table, angrily and closed her eyes tightly as though she could do away with such ideals if she concentrated hard enough. "Order...a way of seeing. A way of...of thinking. A way of coming to stupid logical conclusions!" With a wave of her arm she sent the chess pieces falling to the floor.
"Wonderfully, orderly thoughts and deductions. Foolish!" A muttered 'vas flam' and a slight gesture with her hand set flames to the chess pieces.

Turning her back to the table & the offending sight of maps, Ditto now faced the bed and her eyes were drawn to the side of the bed that was her husband's favorite. With a heavy sigh and shake of her head, Ditto began to speak as though Tarothin were laying there. "I shouldna have tried to think the way you do, my love. I am just na very good at logic. I should have thought like me. Should have listened to my heart. If I had, then none of this would have happened. I wouldna have gotten angry. And most especially, I would not have...hurt you."
Looking down at her hand, a tear fell onto her empty ringfinger, to the place where her wedding band should be. The smell of smoke drew her attention back in the direction of the table & onto the floor where the flames had grown larger, making it's way to the polar bear rug. "Oh no", she groaned.
Ditto quickly began stomping at the flames, forgetting she wore no sandals. Small yelps of "Ow" accommpanied the stomping until finally the small fires were out. It was perhaps fortunate for her that her long skirt was so wet that it had not caught fire as well. Instead, the skirt clung to her thighs as she slowly made her way across the room, and sat down on the floor, leaning herself against the bed. Reaching up with her empty hand, she smoothed Tarothin's pillow tenderly, and whispered, "What have I done? If only I could take it back."

Tears, half from pain, half from regret, slid freely down her cheeks. Leaning her head against the bed, she continued to run her fingers over the pillow until, so emotionally spent, she drifted off to sleep, still sitting on the floor.

*Off sitting on a ledge behind a waterfall by Trinsic, contemplating silently on the many things that transpired.*

Last night was an interesting night. Very eventfull...to say the least.

The Regency meeting actually went better then expected. Even with the outburst of the half-orge and the accuasations of us supposidly setting up the attack on the Queen. ...I will have to find out more about this...and why.

A few shocks on the voting but one that equaled itself out nicely. After talking to Isk a few weeks back about order I would have thought them as a possible chance to vote Aye. Yet was very surprised at the open hostilities by Isk and well...*smiles*...Mark is...Mark. He has always felt that way since the days I was with the Brotherhood of the Hand. Once like brothers to Humanis only to be spoiled by words and actions done by both parties. "Tsk tsk tsk" What things in the future are in store for them...That will be seen over time...

Then again I was surprised that Rellik and the Harper's voted Aye...I will like to set up a meeting with him...and see what his idea's are about Order. I shall talk to others in the Order already to join in that meeting.

The meeting with Lia was a very pleasent one indeed...and went very well. *smiles once again thinking on his plans and the future*

Then there is Ditto...*shakes his head in faint amusement before sighing and looking once again in a bag that she gave him the night before in a drunken mood of her's that held a necklace and a ring. The ones he gave her* ...always quick to believe what people say... Tonight for instance what Arlin said. It never occured to me that she would actually belive him without even asking me if it was true. What am I going to do with you love...

Interesting night...interesting indeed....

With a sneeze, Ditto awoke the next morning. Still on the floor against the bed, and still...alone. Stretching slowly as she tried to stand, she was instantly reminded of the burns on her feet. They seemed more painful now than they had last night. Everything seemed more painful.

She looked across the floor at the scattered and charred chess pieces. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." Now, it dawned on her that not only had she reacted wrongly towards Tarothin, but also, in her anger at herself, had destroyed the chess pieces he liked so much.

Sneezing again and limping herself along to where the chess pieces were scattered, Ditto again sat on the floor and began to tenderly pick up each piece to place them delicatly in the folds of her skirt one by one.
Now, thinking like Ditto once again, able to concentrate on more important things, than with appearances and politics in regards to her husband...if he still wanted to be such. He had been accused of much last night. *She sighed* Why couldn't people see his heart the way that she could? He may not be a bright and shining do-goody knight; but neither was he the black hearted monster some wanted him to be, almost needed him to be to justify their fear or hatred of all that he could accomplish that they could not.

Standing and taking the chess pieces to place on the bed, she limped along careful not to spill any out of her skirt and failed to see the polarbear head that was in her path. Tripping over the bear, the chess pieces began spilling out of the make shift pocket, turning suddenly to both try to catch not only the pieces, but her balance, Ditto herself fell backwards, hitting her head against the fire mantle before hitting the floor, knocking her unconcious. The edge of her now dry skirt, landing in the edge of the flames of the fireplace.

She awoke in her own bed. Her mind groggy and confused. A throbbing ache on the back of her skull. She remembered falling and reached a hand back to feel a good sized, tender lump on the back of her head. But, how did she get to her bed? And why was there a taste of soup in her mouth? Cloudster?
Ditto opened her eyes wide, with hopeful anticipation and looked around the the now bright sunlit room. A tall, lean form stood by the window. He was dressed in black armor, that seemed to match perfectly w/ his thick black hair. It was the odd black gloves that he always wore, that made her recognize him.
"Noah"?

The man turned away from the window to look at her, a half smile on his face. "Aye, Dit."
Sliding herself up into a sitting possition in the bed, Ditto noted that underneath the sheets, she was in a state of undress, and immediatly gave Noah a suspicious, accusing look. His smile got wider, but with one word, told her there was no need for alarm. "Servants".
A couple of long strides and he was standing over her. "His servants are a paranoid bunch by the way. There is one, however, I wouldn't have minded a strip-search from."
Ditto nodded, not realising the view of cleavage she was allowing him. "Ya, I always did think Eon the gardener was a bit...odd." Ditto grinned up at him, seeing where his gaze fell, and pulled the sheets close up against her neck, to give him an admonishing look. "Noah, where is Daer? Aren't you his protector? You didna bring him here did ya? Na after the...."
Noah was shaking his head. "No, Don't worry. He's still with your father's people. He's very safe, Dit. But your letter worried a few and since I've been wanting to check on my sister, they sent me to find out more about these complications you spoke of."
After a look of relief, she dropped her head down slightly, unwilling to tell him the specifics of the dangers. "They are na a concern to ya, Noah. Tarothin has a handle on things as well he should. It is na up to you nor father what happens in Sosaria. He is, afterall, my....husband".
A quick swift motion, and he had her wrist in his hand, holding it up, to point out her empty ringfinger. "Yes, I can see that".
She was about to protest...explain...lie...but dropping her arm, he stopped her. "We can talk later, when your feeling better. I came here to find Cat. I went to her house, but she wasn't home and thought maybe you'd know where she was. Do you?"
Noah's question puzzled her. Everyone knew that if Cat wasn't at her house, she was more than likely at the Garden.....but, Noah, ofcourse he wouldn't know. His sister hadn't been with the TM when he'd left. "Ya might try at the Garden. She works there now."
"Works there?" An angry worry, in his voice. The last time he was around these parts, the Garden tavern was a brothel.
Ditto, confused, why he'd be so upset about her working in a tavern merely nodded and said, "Ya. The customers all love her. She's highly favored". She smiled proudly at him, hoping that it might calm down his sudden odd anger.
Striding quickly to the door, he didn't pause when he said "We will talk later. Right now I have something to do. I'll let the servants know your awake".
And with that, Noah was gone....only a hurried slamming of a door left in his wake.
