Channelknight Fadran Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 2 minutes ago, Shard of Thought said: "Aww. Now that's sweet of you, miss, takin' care of the girl." He glanced up at Ara and grinned at her before asking Wendy, "Somethin' happen to her parents? Surely she ain't yours." Wendy turned away, pulling open the door to go to the next room. "I'm not her mother. Hers is gone now. But that doesn't mean she isn't mine." With that she left.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 3 minutes ago, Shard of Thought said: "What, you'd like me to wear those massive shirts you have in the closet?" "At least put on the dress you wore yesterday or something," he stated as he placed the koekjes back into the cupboard that he found them in.

Sweet though. Are you good for her, miss 'Bella?" @Vapor Just now, The Ward's Guard said: "At least put on the dress you wore yesterday or something," he stated as he placed the koekjes back into the cupboard that he found them in. "Now wait just a moment, I want one of those," said Riva, munching on her cheese and grapes.

"Then get them yourself." He walked back to his spot, and brushed aside the koekje crumbs. "You took my room without my help, my koekjes should be no problem."

He walked back to his spot, and brushed aside the koekje crumbs. "You took my room without my help, my koekjes should be no problem." "You're right. I did." She tossed her hair back and dug into the jar to get a cookie for herself. "Now, how old did you say you were again, Caden? Ah, never mind, it doesn't matter. Surely you've been married before though." Edited June 9, 2021 by Shard of Thought
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 "If the king had to force me to get married this time, what makes you think that I've been married before?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 "Well, it's a massive house. You're rather sulky and lonely which is consistent with someone who's lost a loved one. And let's be honest, anyone would complain if they were to be married to me."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 "I've never been married, Raveness; no matter what you skills of deduction would say." He adjusted his shirt so that it might be a little more comfortable on him, "the only person I've 'lost' is my father, and his time was going to come sooner or later anyways."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 "I bet if you did have a wife, you'd have killed her." Riva sipped some water nonchalantly, watching for Caden's reaction.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Caden growled in annoyance as he brushed aside the statement, "if she would have been anything like you, then without a doubt."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Huh. Either he was a good actor or he was telling the truth. She paused, then leaned back on the counter, genuinely interested in what his response would be to her next question. "Do you think I am evil, general?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Caden stopped adjusting his uniform for a moment, evidently thinking the subject over with great care. Only a moment later he shudder slightly, as if clearing himself of a particularly strange thought. He looked towards the Raveness with a suspicious look in his own eyes, "what am I supposed to say, 'no?'"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Riva only nodded. "And what of yourself? Do you think you are evil, Caden Praetorium?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 He spoke without allowing himself a single moment to actually think it over, "I am a servant to the King. I don't care to ask if his will is "good" or "evil," just if it is the best choice to achieve his goals."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 The Raveness raised and eyebrow and strode forward, swallowing a grape. "And why do you serve the king?"
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Caden raised an eyebrow at the Raveness's advance, but he held his ground. "I owe him my life and my lands, what more is there to say?"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 "Well. You just don't seem like the type of man who bows to those weaker than you. Ivian is a coward."
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Just now, Shard of Thought said: "Well. You just don't seem like the type of man who bows to those weaker than you. Ivian is a coward." Quote Hey! Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Quote Riva may think that, but I think Ivian is a political genius who's got serious nerve. He's kind of a boss.
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Caden set his jaw at the statement, "be careful not to confuse cowardice for a strategical mindset. Everyone's willing to call the man who retreats from a fight a coward instead of looking past such notions for the logic behind the move."
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 "Oh, I'm not talking about retreat. I'm talking about a man who isn't willing to do his own dirty work or look the prisoner on death row in the eyes." She sighed, then smiled. "Wow. We just had an actual conversation, didn't we?"
Condensation she/her Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Channelknight Fadran said: "You're--" What. In the world. Is going on here today? "Uhm... yeah." Wendy covertly wiped a bead of sweat off her brow. "Hi." Alienor smiled and set her meal to the side. After Wendy left, she stood. "Sir Kimby, I was wondering... could you perhaps make another of those flowers? I don't have much to add to this room."
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Caden scoffed, turning away from the Raveness. "Don't think much of it." He got up, and walked towards the kitchen door.

How many does ya need?" 1 minute ago, The Ward's Guard said: Caden scoffed, turning away from the Raveness. "Don't think much of it." He got up, and walked towards the kitchen door. With a grin, Riva ran after him and took his arm, bumping him playfully with her hip. "Oh, c'mon! Maybe this marriage isn't for nothing after all!"
