Just Call Me Anhel (D1, LE Syl's Room)

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Of course... but poor Anhel here is already in way over his handsome little head," she smiled as she gave the young noble in her arm an appriciative glance. "And with all this talk of Lord Haydriss being so busy... one can't help but to be concerned. But surely, if he's truly in danger, his sister will protect him, right?"

[Anhel Rolm]

"I don't know how I could do such a thing. I don't see them anymore or anything." He instinctively leaned into Shaisha's arms. "Sister has been so distant. It must be that witch feeding her lies."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"A witch, Anhel?" Shaisha asked with a coy smile.

[Anhel Rolm]

"Her associate, Lord Ralnorrei. That woman must have fed her lies about our family, dissuaded her from valuing our ties." What was lost on him was that his sister abanoned the family name before publicly working with the Zabrak. "My sister would not do such a thing without being manipulated."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"It really is a tragedy, and must be as you say," she was more than happy to echo his thoughts. "The blood of family should not be forgotten... especially for those of us so well-connected to the Force, that blood is often a source of strength."

"We're not like the Jedi who believe that attachements are a bad thing."

[Anhel Rolm]

"I spoke to her and she turned me aside like some outsider. My own damn sister."

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded. "It is truly a shame..."

He thought for a moment, "Your mother is a resourceful woman is she not?"

[Anhel Rolm]

"Of course she is. She is the current Grand Moff."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Anhel seemed to her like some lost little puppy, but one who could take directions well. Just a pity he didn't seem to know everything they might've wanted to know.

"It must be upsetting to Grand Moff Rolm to see her daughter having drifted so far away from her family..."

[Anhel Rolm]

He nodded. "Yes. Mother was disappointed that my sister did not attend her celebration party." He shook his head. "Sister has become more and more reclusive. I cannot think of a single event she has attended in the last year."

[Sylvain Torsin]

He nodded, "From what my intelligence together's, your sister is somewhat in the same vein as her master. She doesn't have much of an appetite for infighting, so perhaps a gesture by your by your mother, one of cooperation in finding the true traitors behind the death of my father and Kristal's... would help bring your family and the Empire back together."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"It could perhaps be a possibility," she said softly and her hand lifted slightly from his shoulder to caress Anhel's cheek.

[Anhel Rolm]

"Mother may listen to me but I am not sure. And you are about sister; she likes to keep her distance from it." Anhel blushed a bit at the touch of his cheek. "I can see what I can do but I don't know if I can. That's why I came to you for help in the first place.'

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"And you did the right thing," she assured him in soothing tones. "But this is going to take a lot of work from all of us, hmm... that includes you, Anhel."

[Sylvain Torsin]

"And what is it we could do to help you Anhel?"

[Anhel Rolm]

"We need to sort it out, keep mother safe, find out what happened." He clenched his fist. "Keep me safe. I need to make sure Kristal doesn't come and kill me. She could do it at any time she wanted."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"We will keep her from you," she cast a look at Sylvain. For now.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"I will speak to her this evening." Sylvain nodded.

[Anhel Rolm]

"What? You will? Do not tell her I am afraid of her." He straightened up and tugged at his collar. "I cannot have her knowing that. That would be a disaster." He let out a sigh. "Sylvain, I know you are more clever than that. I trust you to find a way to not compromise me."

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain smiled comfortingly, "Don't worry. I'll only tell her what she needs to know. You won't be compromised."

Sylvain reached out to soothe the young noble's mind and convince him of the validity of his comments with a peaceful warm feeling..

"I know. I know I do not need to fret." He took a breath and then nodded. "Okay."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Seeing as how Sylvain's usual charm had done the trick again, Shaisha slipped her arm away from Anhel slowly.

"It will all work out."

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded, "We will do what we can to help you. Shaisha's master is a powerful man. There is much he can do to help shield your family... but we will need to know who it was you set you up. They will sell you and your family down the river in a moment's notice. Get your mother, or whoever may know to cooperate. We will remain in touch. I will have my agents help watch over you."

[Anhel Rolm]

"I will see what I can do. Mother must have resources she can dedicate to this." He reached for his glass and finished the rest of it. "And then everyone will be satisfied. Yes."

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded. "We nobles must stick together on things like this... or the Sith will destroy all that we cherish with their foolish games."
