Participants: Vannor, Roberto
POV: Vannor

================================
Hanging out waiting for herbalist repop, enter Roberto....



Roberto ponders life, the universe, and everything.

Roberto says 'not the safest place to be resting'

Catwalk above Baerlon
Stepping onto these wooden planks, the supporting beams groan and creak. The
wind noticeably picks up here, brushing against you and biting into your
garb. Warily you look over the edge of the wooden platform; only a poorly
made railing stands between you and a thirty foot dive to the ground.
[ obvious exits: N ]
Roberto al'Farath of Malkier is standing here.

Vannor peers around into the shadows.

Vannor says 'I have something to worry about from you, Master Thiefbane?'

Roberto says 'I always worry about anyone resting where thieves and murderers may lurk. '

Vannor says 'Thieves and murderers lurk in your city?'

Roberto says 'I caught a darkfriend bringing trollocs here not long ago, I have been on edge. '

Vannor says 'Sounds like the Thiefbane are lax in their duties, then'

Vannor says 'Oh yes I saw your announcement to the whole world'

Vannor says 'Koryak has long been wanted by citizens of the Light'

Roberto says 'I hold male channelers and darkfriends in two seperate lights. '

Vannor says 'Perhaps if you're only capable of declaring what everyone already knows, you're past your time, old man'

Roberto says 'If the world has been so lax to not ensure he is a named darkfriend, then maybe the world isn't ready for what is coming next. '

Vannor says 'And what are you proposing is coming next, Thiefbane'

Vannor says 'An interesting view, most would consider males who channel and darkfriends the same'

Roberto says 'The dark is massing, the ages are turning, the shadow ever wants more. War is coming. '

Vannor snorts.

Roberto says 'Some may, I know the Reds most certainly do. '

Vannor says 'You can drop the dramatics, war with the Shadow has always been on our doorstep'

Roberto says 'Some are just scared men who don't understand their power. '

Vannor says 'Or do you forgot where you came from'

Vannor says 'Oh?'

Roberto says 'The north understands. The south I believe is coming to understand. '

Vannor says 'If you came across a man who could channel, you would stop to talk? Sit him down and soothe his fears perhaps?'

Vannor says 'Pour some tea?'

Vannor snickers softly.

Roberto says 'I have before, I have taken a man to be gentled and walked with him when he went willingly. '

Vannor says 'Such a tale i've never heard of'

Vannor says 'Like many you are prone to tell'

Roberto says 'It is in the records, though I doubt they will let you access them. '

Vannor says 'Whose records?'

Vannor says 'The Tower's?'

Roberto nods at Vannor.

Vannor says 'For your old age you'd think a measure of wisdom could be found in you'

Vannor says 'Involving yourself in White Tower business is sheer stupidity'

Roberto says 'Thiefbane have always been involved with the Tower, had to tell a Blue off earlier today. '

Vannor says 'Again proving my point, you presume too much, telling an Aes Sedai off?'

Vannor shakes his head.

Vannor says 'Idiocy'

Vannor says 'And what pray tell, did this heinous Blue Sister do to affront the mighty Roberto'

Roberto says 'I would not have thought one as you to bend knee so quickly to the tower. '

Vannor says 'One as me?'

Vannor says 'What's that supposed to mean'

Roberto says 'Merchants are some of the few who can dance with the tower and live to laugh about it. '

Vannor says 'What dance am I dancing'

Vannor says 'Do you speak in riddles to amuse yourself, or do you think it makes you mysterious.'

Roberto says 'She attempted to command me to hunt a Dragonsworn as I was dealing with a darkfriend and trollocs in this city. '

Vannor says 'Koryak again?'

Roberto says 'The same.'

Vannor says 'What point are you trying to make?'

Vannor says 'You're so above the Tower's authority you can scold Aes Sedai?'

Roberto says 'You asked why I told her off did you not?'

Vannor rolls his eyes.

Roberto says 'What authority?'

Vannor says 'You believe the Tower holds no authority?'

Vannor laughs openly.

Roberto says 'Not over the Thiefbane. '

Vannor says 'They hold all the strings, all of them'

Roberto shrugs helplessly.

Vannor says 'I am without a doubt'

Vannor says 'If the Amyrlin told Juilin Sandar to dance, he would, and have you play the tune for him'

Vannor says 'How does that sit with you, Master Thiefbane'

Vannor says 'Do you want to hunt Dragonsworn?'

Roberto says 'Oh, he would dance, but he would dance with her. '

Vannor says 'Or are the male channeler's in their ranks just scared men?'

Vannor says 'Would you take one to the Red Ajah as well?'

Roberto says 'Any male channeler must be taken care of for he is a danger to himself and the world around him, through no fault of their own. '

Vannor says 'Don't break your simple brain thinking about it, lawman'

Vannor says 'And what if he didn't want to go'

Vannor says 'What would you do then'

Roberto says 'Whatever must be done to ensure innocents are not injured. '

Vannor says 'Oh how noble'

Roberto says 'Not really. '

Vannor says 'You would injure that supposedly innocent man, to ensure he goes to the Tower?'

Vannor says 'When he opposes your supreme will, then you are allowed to harm him?'

Roberto says 'When have I ever stated I was noble? I would kill him if need be. '

Vannor says 'Even if he never harmed another person?'

Roberto says 'Even if, unless the taint is somehow removed, which I doubt that is even a possibility. '

Vannor roars with laughter.

Vannor says 'Oh you now have an opinion on the One Power and the taint and the like?'

Vannor says 'What makes you an expert on what could be possible or not with the One Power'

Vannor says 'I'm surprised you fit through doorways, with an ego like that'

Vannor says 'Male Channelers are Darkfriends, your own logic proves it'

Vannor says 'You want to play nice and cosy and call them scared innocent little lambs, until they don't do what you're want'

Roberto says 'Who ever claimed I was an expert on the power? It just hasn't been done for who knows how many years. '

Vannor shrugs.

Vannor says 'I'd never claim to know anything about the One Power, taint, or cleansing any of it'

Vannor says 'Then again'

Vannor says 'It seems you spend more time around those types than I'

Roberto says 'You do love your leaps of logic do you not. '

Vannor says 'Try and keep up, old timer'

Roberto says 'No need, feel free to run yourself ragged in circles. '

Vannor says 'By your own words, you're a hypocrite, and just another bully that hides behind a badge, this one seems to have Thiefbane stamped on it.'

Vannor says 'Time ago, there were Thiefbane worthy of respect'

Vannor says 'Keep playing with your madman Roberto, and telling off Aes Sedai'

Vannor says 'I'm sure that game will catch up with you sooner or later'

Vannor says 'I was enjoying the peace up here, but guess it's too crowded now.'

Vannor leaves north.

You snuck out before I got my final line in.

"Well, then may peace forever favor your sword, but I don't think peace is what your heart truly
desires."'
