Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "Dancing doesn't require silence, general." She stayed locked right against his warmth. Soon enough the music ended and Riva pulled away to curtsy.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Caden hesitantly let her go, performing an awkward bow in imitation of the young men around him. He snarled as he heard a few snickers, convinced they were directed at him.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "I suppose, unless you wish to fetch something to drink."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 She shook her head and held close to him, leading him over to the window where she sat with him, folding her legs up on the bench beside her and cuddling up to Caden."That was absolutely magical, my dearest."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "It was . . ." Caden made a show of clearing his throat, struggling to come up with an appropriate word. "It wasn't uh, boring."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "You're allowed to have enjoyed it, Caden," she said. "it doesn't make you any less of a man."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "I didn't enjoy it," Caden protested too quickly, "it was my first dance, anyways. Not to mention we didn't keep in time," ha grumbled.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) She shushed him. "Oh, stop ruining the mood, you great oaf. You enjoyed the dance, you enjoyed being close to me, and right now you need to relax. This isn't the battlefield; No one is trying to hurt you. It's just me." Edited July 27, 2021 by Zephrun's Imperium
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "And several dozen fools who couldn't keep their mouths shut if everything they owned depended on it."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Riva hit the nerve junction again, harder this time. "Re. Lax." Edited July 27, 2021 by Zephrun's Imperium
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Caden took a deep breath, but he couldn't hide his second thoughts over the subject. "Fine, I'm relaxed."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "Good." She released the pressure and settled into him again, leaning up to kiss his neck gently. "All is well, my love."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "Very well," he nodded, finding little reason to care about what those around them thought. "What do we do now, then?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "Snuggle up. Talk about things." She yawned. Like maybe the journal I read. "Tell me you liked dancing with me, Caden."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 "Why?" He glanced around to glare at anyone who got close except for on of the serving staff who was carrying drinks, Caden waved the man over. "You seem to already know the answer."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "I just want to hear you say it."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Caden took a drink from the serving man and regarded it warily for a moment, "what will that change?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 "It'll let me know you really care," Riva said after an eyeroll.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 On 7/25/2021 at 6:46 PM, Zephrun's Imperium said: "Well, for starters, what Darrin was going with you and your... organization." "Reclaiming his throne," replied the specter.
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 11 hours ago, Zephrun's Imperium said: “Wha… You knows ‘bout Wendy?” "Was that her name?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 “Okay…” Mav was skeptical. “And… he was looking for this sword when he was captured, is that right?” 1 minute ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "Was that her name?" Nico blushed. “Yessir.”
xinoehp512 he/him Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 1 minute ago, Zephrun's Imperium said: “Okay…” Mav was skeptical. “And… he was looking for this sword when he was captured, is that right?” "Indeed."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 “Right, okay. At least that makes sense. So… what exactly do you want me to do?”
Channelknight Fadran Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 3 minutes ago, Zephrun's Imperium said: Nico blushed. “Yessir.” Ivian waved him away. "I can fend for myself, Kimby. Go enjoy the party." More than I am, anyways. The waitress uniform for official events wasn't Wendy's favorite. She already wore a tunic underneath it for the back and sides, but there wasn't anything she could do for her arms. Wendy glanced around for something to throw over her shoulders, but there wasn't anything decent just lying around the dormitories. It's fine. She told herself. Compared to what the other guests would be wearing, bare arms weren't anything much. You've had worse. After splashing some water over her face, Wendy left the dormitories and made her way to the ballroom.
