    "No. But I'd love for you to eat with me, Caden."
  2. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva smiled. "You can bring the tea with you, dear."
  3. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Oh, c'mon, Caden." She reisted the very strong urge to snatch his paper away from him. "Your work can wait. It's our honeymoon."
  4. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Mm. I do." She refilled his cup, trying not to appear too eager to do so. "Cinnamon is one of my favorites. But you didn't answer my question, Caden. Will you eat dinner with me? I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday and I'd like to repair some of that."
  5. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "It's just cinnamon. Is it too strong for you? There's cream and sugar if you need it, I wasn't sure if you took it with your tea. I don't."
  6. Zephrun’s Imperium
    She pouted. "Now why would I do something like that? Here, I'll prove my intentions are benign." With that, she poured the tea into one of the two tea cups she'd brought and drank the whole thing down. She was not immune to the effects of the potion, but she knew very well how to resist to small amounts and had the advantage over Caden that she was aware that it had entered her system. "See? Now you try it. It's good." As she poured him a cup of his own, she said, "And it's a fine precursor to dinner as well. You will join me, won't you?"

    She scoffed, folding her arms. "Yes, and they're stretched paper-thin. Hasn't anyone ever done something nice for you?" I know for a fact they have.

    Riva sighed. "I'm just trying to be a considerate wife. Please, I spent time brewing it for you and I to share."
  9. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva was not perturbed. "But I made you tea," she said. She set the tray down - thin limbs trembling with effort - and then hopped up onto Caden's desk. "It's been a long day for you, surely you want some."

    Riva poured the contents of a vial into a steaming pot of tea. She'd chosen a some cinnamon herbs for this particular pot; cinnamon burned a bit on the way down and she had a feeling her steely husband would enjoy it. Riva took a long, deep sniff of the pleasant-smelling fumes before placing the lid on it and pouring more of her potion into the cream. The plan was in motion. The odorless, tasteless serum was an old recipe, one she made large batches of quite often. Its effect loosened the tongue by making the consumer more inclined to speak their thoughts aloud. Rather like alcohol, only it didn't cloud your judgement; people were still loathe to discuss things they knew to be out of character. She usually injected it straight into the vein in its most condensed version, almost taking away a patient's haven of thoughts entirely by forcing them to speak everything that came to mind. (as one might imagine, she'd heard some... interesting things from people under the serum's influence) But Caden couldn't know about the potion, or he'd... Well, she didn't know what he'd do and that was precisely what frightened her. When she ran into a maid, she called the nervous thing over. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Caden. Do you know where he is?" "Uh..." The woman couldn't meet Riva's eyes and trembled slightly. "He just got back, Your Raven-ness. He's in his study." "Why thank you. Could you direct me there?" The maid nodded and did so. When Riva got to the study, she didn't bother to knock, but let herself in with the tray of teacups. "Well, well, well, good evening, Caden."

    Elend, I Guess

    From the album: My Mistborn Stuff

    I drew a character from the Masquerade RP - king Ivian - and he ended up looking VERY much like a certain Mistborn Emperor.

    Guys, Luca is amazing. Watch it if you haven’t, that simple, cute story made me cry.

      I think I will tomorrow, when I drive to Utah :ph34r:

      Agreed! A super cute story about coming of age, with more than enough of PIXAR's trademark "I will emotionally hurt you", moments to make at least this sentimental man cry twice, or thrice.

    Nico got to his feet sluggishly and began wandering through the castle.
  15. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Yeah, that-that-that might do me some good." He looked up at her. "Thank you, Wendy."
  16. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "But I... I just feel bad, miss. Reyna's a nice girl, she don't deserve... Oh, curse it all. I can't do nothin' right, can I?"
  17. Zephrun’s Imperium
    He sighed and sat down against the wall. "Didn't want to disappoint Reyna. I wants her to like me and now..."
  18. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "She'll do it when ya ain't lookin'."
  19. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Maybe, but Allivia'll kill me, she will." He gulped, pale.

    Nico was sweating. "Oh, this'll not end well, Wendy..." Darrin knelt in the corner of his cell, weeping and shaking as he stared sightlessly upward. His eyes were white as ivory; no pupils or irises to be seen. Meaningless muttering dripped from his pale lips and sweat coated his badly bruised chest. Those bruises had gotten worse over night, though no one had touched him. The guard nervously nudged his partner and pointed. “I think he’s… possessed.” “Oh my Stars!” The other guard - a short man named Ari - jumped. “What do we do? Do we tell the king?” Topien shrugged helplessly. “I have no idea. He’s set for execution tomorrow, so… glad we’re getting rid of him when we are, I guess.” He sighed. “The king should probably know what he’s got in his basement anyway. I’m not going to go personally, but I’ll send him up a note.” Just then, Darrin began to speak: “My Lord is displeased with me.” Tears streamed down the sides of his face and both guards were silent for a long moment. “Well, that’s terrifying.” “Maverick…” Darrin continued. “... can stop it.” With that, he crumpled and sobbed. Maverick Oakenwey meanwhile was cuddling up with his cat. “Oh wes mwister Fowge. Who’s da cwutest widdle kitty in da world, huh?" The redheaded man scratched the fat old cat behind the ears and it purred lovingly. Mav sighed. "Ah, Forge. You're the only friend I have in the world. You won't betray or leave me, will you? Will you?" In response, Forge rolled over onto his belly, begging for loves. "Yeah." Maverick smiled. "I love you, too."

      CONGRATS!!!

      I just finished the other day, but still haven't taken the test yet. I could have gotten my license back in February, but I ended up getting my permit in March because I'm a procrastinator....

      Here in Iowa if you pass drivers Ed without being too terrible driver, you don’t have to take the driving test.

      It's still a few months before I can take the actual driving test, but I have to take a test to completely finish driver's ed and get the certificate and stuff.

    "We can go get ice cream iffin' you want to instead." He flashed a hopeful smile.
  23. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Usually she makes you….” He sighed. “Get someb’dy who wants to spend the night with you. I’m sorry, but that’s not me.”
  24. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Then why is Allivia gettin’ paid and not me?”
  25. Zephrun’s Imperium
    “Yeah…..” he hung his head. “Sorry.”
