*Death looked unmoved.*
"Viceroy...if you have a point to your display, please get to it, time is of the essence. What is the crime that the court would have her for that you say she has not committed, she...who is of your blood?"
*The last phrase was harsh.*

The High Court continued thundering invisibly. Richard looked at Death, pleadingly.
"The High Court answer to me, but they have broken the rules here!" he shouted. "I ask you to call them off! As your servant..."

*Faye looked up at Death with wide-eyes, Richard's blood trickling down a corner of her mouth.*
"...I have loved one who lives."

"BE QUIET IF YOU WANT ME TO HELP YOU!" Richard snapped, unusually fierce.

*Death turned his attention to the girl, his expression inquistive.*
"You! She of His Blood...tell me of your crime."

*Faye looked at Richard, then back to Death, unsure of who to obey.*

*Death's voice softened slightly. She was an innocent. If he had just taken the time to look...*
"Child, you must tell me. I have to know what is going on."

Richard gave her a look and urged her forward.

*Faye stepped towards Death, keeping her eyes averted.*
"I...I love a...a, uh, a man. Who is...still alive."

*Death shrank back slightly, turning to the High Court and bidding them away with a twist of his bony wrist.*
"Away, now! I will hear this case." *he hissed.*
*He turned back to Faye, the flame in his eyes cold and blue. Then he looked sharply to Richard.*
"You know such things are forbidden. Why do you speak for her?"

Richard looked calm now.
"I would not see her destroyed as my daughter Katherine was," he said coldly.

Destroyed? *Faye recoiled slightly.* "It was not my choice!" *she cried out.*

*Death was about to speak to Richard, but her outburst made him turn sharply to Faye.*
"Not your fault? What do you mean?"

"I do not expect that one so exalted as yourself has experienced the utter helplessness of falling in love, but imagine for a moment what falliable mortals face!" *she said quietly.* "I could do nothing to stop it..."

*Death looked sympathetic for a moment, his voice a whisper.*
"Child, do not say such things. We are not without such emotion. If only we were."
*He extended a bony hand to her.*
"Such confidence is private. Come with me and I will hear your issue."
*He looked to Richard and then to where the Court had been.*
"Somewhere where those ears that would see you banished cannot hear you."
