Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 4 hours ago, Shard of Thought said: "Ah. Well, I'm sure we'll be informed of what's going on soon enough." Maverick stood awkwardly. He'd never been good at conversing. "Oh - Do you need to go?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 "Oh, no, no. I'm sorry, Lady Eleanor, I've never been very adept at small talk."
Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 "Good. I don't know that I could work up the courage to go talk to someone else." Aliénor smiled.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) Mav smiled back. "So, what kinds of things do you like, Highness?" Edited February 26, 2021 by Shard of Thought
Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 "Reading. Dresses. Proper things. You?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Quote Is she being sarcastic? It seems really sarcastic... "Well, history, for one. But reading mystery novels" - he gestured to his book - "and gardening are what I tend to do in my free time."

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 "Yes. The one I'm reading actually managed to throw me for a loop."
Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 "Oh, really? What's it called?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 "Geists in the Shadows," said Mav. "Has to do with the the legend of the Witherlord. Ever heard about that?"
Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 "No, I haven't. It sounds interesting."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Mav chuckled. "It's essentially a spin on a classic fairytale. One of my favorite fairytales as a kid."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 "Well," Maverick began. "Legend has it that centuries - no, millennia - ago, a dark creature of chaos called the Witherlord was imprisoned. He longs to be released and causes calamities to happen with his servants the withergeists. The story has been around for quite a while, so it's been changed bit by bit, but historians believe that it does have its roots in some forgotten truth."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 "For a story-hungry historian like me? Absolutely."
Condensation she/her Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 "I'll have to look for it later."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) "I'm sure you could find any number of stories on Witherlore if you look into it. 'Geists actually make their way into lots of literature; if you have an eye to notice it, you'll see them alluded to rather often." @The Ward's Guard Edited February 28, 2021 by Shard of Thought
Condensation she/her Posted February 27, 2021 Posted February 27, 2021 "That's interesting! I'll have to keep an eye out now that I know."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 On 2/26/2021 at 7:54 AM, Vapor said: Arabella backed away. "I snuck in alone. I figured I could get some easy money and sneak out when I accidentally caused a scene." Caden growled, "a child snuck into the King's own ball alone to steal some money? Do you take me for a fool!" Caden stalked up to the child, towering over her. "You are here, working for someone, WHO?!" On 2/26/2021 at 7:55 AM, Fallapede said: "I'm afraid that's quite impossible. Would you mind coming out here so that we might talk further?" The guards nodded to each other, readying their weapons. "Sir, if you refuse to adhere to the lockdown you'll be committing treason. I'll only give you one more chance, stand down."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 On 2/26/2021 at 5:25 PM, Condensation said: "I'll have to look for it later." "Yeah." Maverick looked about, feeling uncomfortable. He had no idea what to say. And it wasn't just that - this lockdown was beginning to unnerve him and he was frightened that talking to the King's betrothed could land him in trouble somehow.
Condensation she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 "Um... is there anything else you've enjoyed? In terms of books?"
Fallapede Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 12 hours ago, The Ward's Guard said: The guards nodded to each other, readying their weapons. "Sir, if you refuse to adhere to the lockdown you'll be committing treason. I'll only give you one more chance, stand down." "I cannot. I suppose you're going to settle this by way of trial by combat? So be it." Jasper takes a deep breath, steps back from the door, and settles into a defensive stance.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 5 minutes ago, Condensation said: "Um... is there anything else you've enjoyed? In terms of books?" Mav shrugged. "I usually don't remember book titles. It's just kind of a mindless thing to do. That and gardening."
Condensation she/her Posted March 2, 2021 Posted March 2, 2021 "Oh. Sorry, then. If you'd like, I can leave you to read your book."
