Isen in Jail (2/25)

[Darrla Blackmoon]

Darrla moves over to get a closer look in the cage. "My how things have changed..."

Isenramm grins looking up through the bars of the cell. "Hello, Darrla. Sorry about not coming through with that dinner as promised. I've been a little...tied up so to speak."

Darrla looks down at him, and his face and frowns. "Who did that to you?!"

Isenramm nods northeast with a smirk. "Our lovely friends from Archet. You remember Thorvall, don't you?"

Darrla smiles and nods her head as she sits down. "I do...."

Isenramm shrugs. "I suppose I had it coming. I rode into Archet alone and disarmed myself. So, Thorvall took the opportunity to attempt murder."

Darrla 's eyes grow wide. "He tried to kill you? I thought he was on your side? Or that you were on his side....or...something to that effect."

Isenramm says, 'Obviously, I was a bit surprised myself. If I had known Thorvall was a lying sack of dung, I wouldn't have disarmed myself and rode into Archet alone.'

Darrla growls to herself. "There's nothing right about trying to kill a disarmed person....even -I- don't do that!" :She thinks for a moment: "I actually talked to Thorvall a few days ago, he told me what happened...well..not all of it...but that you got arrested 'n all."

Isenramm lifts a brow. "Did he tell you he was workingn with Lucillia and Kaenwynn? Apparently they're best of friends now."

Darrla shakes her head. "No....but I did see Malrex talking to him, seems like they're doing business together too." : She frowns: "Seems like the world is against us both.." :She slowly scootches closer to the cage:

Isenramm nods in agreement. "There is no question that Malrex and Thorvall are good buddies. However, both of them are opportunistic, lying bastards. I just wonder which one will stab the other in the back first."

Darrla frowns. "Speaking of which, I hear that you want Malrex dead.....is that true?"

Isenramm laughs and shakes his head. "I don't care if Malrex is alive or dead. Malrex let it out that he wanted to move on me, so I hurried his process along by letting the word out. His stupidity is having a windfall of effects that may play well to my advantage.”
Darrla lets out another sigh. "I fear for him and his safety...he is spreading himself too thin....and I don't think he should be trusting all the people that he is."

Isenramm looks to Darrla pointedly. "Malrex is the one that can't be trusted."

Darrla moves closer to the cage and puts her hand out, if he would allow, placing it gently on his bruised face. Her iced hand would probablly feel good on a wound such as that. "Isen....you and me....we have a lot in common.....we lie if we think we can benefit from it. But other people...they just lie because they want to hurt others. I don't mind your lies because I find out the truth. But if I find out that Malrex is lying to me, there will be some problems between him and I."

Isenramm doesn't recoil at her touch nor does he seem to embrace it. "What exactly is he telling you?"

Darrla frowns and shakes her head as she retrieves her hand. "That's the problem...he has completely shut me out of his life....which I suppose I deserved that...I shut him out first. The difference between people telling me lies is.....I can find out very easily when you lie to me." :She smirks: "Congrats by the way!"

Isenramm tilts his head with a grin. "Congratulations? For what, I wonder? And...to Rex's credit...if he tells you nothing, at least he isn't lying to you. He did lie to me however...he sent word that you work for me. No doubt a ploy to have me attack you."

Darrla thinks for a moment and smiles. "Well, I don't work for anyone. I work for myself, and only help those who will benefit me the most. However, I will fight for Malrex to the death...I owe him that at least." : She grinned: "And I am congratulating you for being engaged!"

Malrex raises an eyebrow

Isenramm watches as Malrex walks in. "And speak of the devil..." He looks back to Darrla and smiles. "Why, thank you for that."

Malrex smirks at the two briefly then the third.

Darrla nods her head. "I'm always happy to see when others find happiness....such as my dear brother here, he too has found happiness."

Isenramm chuckles lightly. "Let's just hope that happiness doesn't end with me being handed over to Lucillia and Kaewynn, hmm?"

Darrla frowns. "I'd hate to see die by anyone's hands but mine." : She winks as she stands up:

Gonzalez speaks up. "It won't." he says, stepping next to the cell., "Here..." he reaches into his cloak, tossing a wrapped bundle at Isenramm. "Eat fast."

Isenramm takes the bundle from the man looking at it carefully. "What is this?"

Malrex says, 'hey there Darrla'

Darrla smiles. "Hello dear! And how are you this fine day?"

Gonzalez scoffs. "Food I got at the Pony. Figured they are not feeding you right, and you ought to conserve strenghth." he says. "You know as well as I that this is not going to end how we want it. You may as well be ready." he shrugs. "Shepard's Pie." he says motioning him to eat. "That ought to get you for a while. But I did not come here for you to eat. You might want to talk to your beloved next time she comes here." he says smiling. "She is worried sick. Maybe you could convince her to sleep."

Malrex says, 'not too shabby, yerself?’

Darrla shrugs. "Kinda disappointed to see Isen here when it wasn't my own doing." : She looks to Isen and laughs remembering when Isen told her something when she was in the stocks.: "Better him than me."

Isenramm peers at the content, lifting a flap of the cloth covering and peers inside. Setting it to the side, he turns fully to face him. "She said she had something to tell me, but wasn't able to relay the message."

Malrex smiles slightly "now its not nice to gloat Darrla...."

Darrla frowns. "I was only saying the same thing he said to me.....only seems fair...for old time sake?"

Gonzalez nods. "Did she?" he asks, crossing his arms, eyes shifting to Malrex before rolling his eyes at the sight of Darrla. " Well, she was speaking with Fansi and I. What a mess she is, but I am sure you would come to expect that from the woman that loves you mm? I just want her to be in good shape when you are out.”

Malrex nods slowly "aye, fair is fair, won't argue with that I suppose."

Isenramm grabs the bars with both hands and works some tension out of his left shoulder. "She's tougher than she lets on. I might not be as bad as I make out, either."

Gonzalez nods. "I don't doubt her resilience, but rest is rest. Not even I can get by without it....and if I of all people can find peace in stressful times, then she can do it."

Darrla gently places her hand on Malrex's shoulder. "So what have you come here for?"

Malrex frowns slightly "I need to speak to Isen about some things. Get to the bottom of other things...business stuff."

Isenramm nods in agreement. "We're all making due one way or another."

Darrla sighs. "You're always so vague with me....we used to always tell each other everything..." : She pauses: "But I'm not the one you trust am I?"

Malrex smiles "don't take it personally, I'm vague with everyone."

Gonzalez purses a lip. "You said something about a message...while I would offer to go out and fetch it or otherwise, I would not seek to deprive you of another visit from her. So I won't bother to ask." he says with a light chuckle. "Well...there you have it. food. There is nothing more for me to say."

Isenramm looks again at the bundle of food and nods with a grin. "Thank you. I assure you, it's appreciated."

Darrla feels a pinch in her gut. She merely nods her head as she hangs her head slightly. "I understand..." :And she moves to walk away:

Malrex says, 'chin up Darrla, things will turn up..hmm?'

Gonzalez nods. "Don't need much assurance, but thank you anways."

Darrla hears him, but doesn't say a word.
