Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 "But it ain't too bad, I guessin'. Can only get better from here, that's right!"
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 "Yeah!" Katie said. "Better: like chocolate ice cream over vanilla!"
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 Quote I fully expect Wendy to get Nicolae alone to yell at him after they get ice cream. "That what flavor you want, love?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 15, 2021 Posted June 15, 2021 Quote Oh you know it, fam "Yep! Chocolate chocolate chocolate." She said in a singsong voice.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 15, 2021 Author Posted June 15, 2021 "What about you, Bella? What flavor do you want?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Quote Here, I'll just timeskip us... "Well here we are." Wendy reached into her pocket and brought out her tiny sack of coins. "Katie wants chocolate. You, Ara?" @Vapor
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 "I'll take your smallest cone, if you don't a-mind," said Nicolae. He pulled out a thick golden coin. "This should cover all the four of us."
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 "Uhh... no." Wendy pushed him aside. "You can pay for yourself." These are my kids.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 "Aww, no, miss, I insist. My salary's bigger 'an yours, save yourself some coin." The man selling ice cream, took Nicolae's coin. "Come now, miss, let your boyfriend pay for ya. He's being nice, don't be prideful."
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Wendy growled under her breath, free hand clenching into a tight, shaking fist. She forced herself to turn her head away from the idiot trying to pay for her; if she saw his face one more time right now, Wendy was sure she would murder him. "Not my boyfriend," she finally managed to growl. "I'll take mint. If you'll excuse me..." Wendy let go of Ara's hand and walked off. The restrooms were that way; hopefully it looked like that was where she was going.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Nicolae shrugged. "Well, okay then..." "Well, now, she's a feisty one," said the ice cream man. "Dunno how you can keep a woman like that. She your wife?" "Oh! Oh, no, no." Nicolae blushed, looking at his feet. "I'm just a friend of these little ones, I am. She's their caretaker." "Ah, I see. Well, I certainly don't recommend courting that one." Edited June 17, 2021 by Zephrun's Imperium
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Luckily, nobody was in the restroom. Wendy could cry alone.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 Quote Awwwww, poor thing. Does she think Nicolae is after her or something?
The Ward's Guard he/him Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Caden returned to the room that he had his desk in, his thoughts still on that strange encounter with the Raveness, his wife. The experience was just so incredibly different from what had happened just before the wedding that he was considering that this was a different woman. He shook his head, trying to clear it of such strange thoughts as he tried to focus once more on his work. When he looked over towards his desk, he saw a new letter placed on top, marked clearly as "urgent." He quickly tore it open, and read through the contents. After he did so, he practically tossed the letters he had just written up onto the desk to be delivered before rushing out the door towards the stable. He didn't bother to wake the stable master, instead saddling his own horse to ride to the King's palace. It seemed that hiring that hunter had been a good choice, so best not to waste any opportunity that he offered the good general. He was willing to ride as long as it took to get to the palace, no matter the hour. Besides, he would be back before anyone noticed that he was gone. Edited June 17, 2021 by The Ward's Guard

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 Quote Okay, okay... Nico handed out the cones. "Right, then. Let's sit down and wait for your Wendy, yeah?"
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Quote She isn't coming back for a little while.
Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) Quote Okay. We'll wait for Vapor to show up and then go for it. Riva was awoken by a knock at the door. It took her a moment to realize what she was hearing and she rolled over in bed, groaning. "No... It's too early." "Lady Praetorium, you have a visitor," said a voice muffled by a door. She grabbed a pillow, putting it over her head. "Go away, just go away..." It was really no wonder she was so tired. She'd stayed up quite late after eating to read the journal. In fact... "What time is it!?" "It's a half hour to 9 AM, my Lady." Three hours of sleep. Uuuuuuugh. Well. She could always go back to sleep after the fact. "Who is it?" "A sir Daku, my Lady. He has your things." Riva sat up in bed. That was good news. "Right, right, send him in." She didn't care that she was still wearing her chemise; Daku had seen her in less.

Zephrun’s Imperium they/he Posted June 17, 2021 Author Posted June 17, 2021 "Yessiree!" The man at the stand gave Arabella a mint cone with drizzeled chocolate.
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 About ten minutes later, Wendy emerged from the restroom. She’d managed to wash the red out of her face, and after plastering another fake smile on her face, she sat down next to Katie and Ara.
Vapor she/her Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Quote wants to make a bathroom joke Ara took the cone and munched it happily.
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 “How do you like it?” Wendy asked, taking her own cone.

He refrained from calling attention to how long she'd been in the bathroom.
