Kyla also mimes drinking from the bottle, but doesn't seem to have any. The wine is exquisite going down. It tastes of a combination of honey, morning dew, fresh grapes, and sppring air all together and seperate at the same time. It is also somehow still cool. Luthielien's throat feels as if she's just drank from a cool spring. Her fingers and nose tingle like they've been tickled.

Now then Ladies, tell me, from where do you hail if I may ask? The name Calaelen I have heard, but only in distant memory. Could you tell me of your house?

He accepts the bottle back from Kyla, taking another small drink, then passing it on again, after a proper MMmmm

[Lady Door]

Our family comes originally from Wyrm Wood where we served within the Royal Court, more recently we hail from Kaer Vendroll. Our house did not escape the scourge unscathed, there are fewer of us now, but the Calaelen line has always been blessed with fertility. We shall be more soon, I should hope. May I ask where you heard our family name before?

[fistandantilus4....]

I study my histories. It is the duty of all of our People to know from whence we come from. As you say, all of our People suffered during the Scourge. It is the duty of those who continue to remember those who have passed, and honor them, is it not? Apparently I am a bit laxing in my duties, but I am glad to hear that your house has survived and may one day again flourish. To House Calaelen!

Lólindir raises his fist, kyla raises the bottle. This time she does drink, and pases the bottle on to Lólindir , who drinks and passes it again.

May I ask for what purpose two such Ladies as your selves are bound for Kratas? Or is your business prvate?

Kyla gives Lu a questioning look, "shoould we tell him"?

[Lady Door]

Lu takes a breath to steady herself and nods to Ky.
You spoke of needing a cause to fight for. That is why my sister and I have ventured so far from our home. We go to recover a family artifact, an heirloom stolen from one who bore it with honor. Kratas is where we believe the heirloom is now. I am sorry if I questioned your motives earlier, it is just that my sister and I are set to find and destroy one which you are swearing to protect. We find ourselves at cross purposes, my dear Swordmaster.

[fistandantilus4....]

Cross purposes? I certainly hope not. How do you come to that conclusion?

[Lady Door]

Well, you go to offer your services to this Troll, to join with his army. We go to stand with the other side, to gain back that which was taken from us. Lu explains, feeling perplexed as to why the swordmaster is not seeing the logic in her point.

[fistandantilus4....]

I see. I did not know you were allying with this Kratasian Lord. Very well, a matter of a house's heirloom and the honor of two Ladies is more important than a troll's pride. If you wil laccept me , I would be honored to assist you in restoring your families possession and honor.

And my Lady, if you're not going to drink that, you really should pass it on.


He smiles again. It;s a nice smile.

[Lady Door]

Lu blushes and takes a drink, savoring the taste and then passing the bottle to Ky.
Looking at Ky, Lu tries to read her expression.
It's a really nice smile. He has nice lips. I wonder what it would be like to kiss... hmmm..

[fistandantilus4....]

I hope that beautiful smile and look your sharing means that you accept.

[Lady Door]

Such a nice smile.. I.. uh, what?
Lu blushes and tries to remember what he just said.
I, uh, ... yes?Lu says hopefully, looking at Ky and wondering what she just agreed to.

[fistandantilus4....]

Excellent. I am glad that we can be companions. I would swear my sword to the two of you Luthielien and Kylathain Calaelen, until your quest is complete, or I die in the trying. Although hopefully the former.

The conversation continues for soem time, and the wine bottled is passed around. Soon everyone is sitting quite comfortably together.

[Lady Door]

Such a nice *hiccup* smile...he's so pretty. Why is my sister still here?Staring daggers at her sister when the swordmasters' back is turned, Lu nods her head in the direction of the door, adding hand gestures when Ky doesn't seem to be getting it.
When the swordmaster turns around, she smiles sweetly and passes him the bottle again.
So, tell me about you Lólindir. Where do you hail from?

[fistandantilus4....]

My family is from Throal since the Scourge. We were of the Wood originally, but left when madness over took the place. I have travled extensively since then of course, trying to see as much of our new world as possible. And you? Where was you kaer located?

Kyla looks annoyed, apparently forgetting the earlier deal. She makes a point of sitting closer to Lólindir, with her hand brazenly on his leg, rather high up. She actually goes so far as to massage his leg for a minute. Idle chit chat goes on for a few miunutes as Kyla continues sending "signals" to Lólindir,going higher up his "leg" unitl the burning-daggers-of-hate stare finally wins out.

Kyla gets up and leans over to her sister and wispers in her ear Fine , this one is yours Lu. But I may pick him up when you're done. She smiles and winks at Lu, then leans over and kisses Lólindir deeply, holding it for longer tha n a simple good bye would warrant.

You two enjoy the wine, I still have some 'duties' to take care of on deck. I'll see you both later..... dressed I hope. Lu, jsut d everything I would do.

She winks again and walks out of the room. Lólindir looks shocked, but recovers quickly turning his attention back to Luthielien. Well, we have some alone time it seems. Perhaps now would be a good time for some of that frank speech suggested earlier?

[Lady Door]

Giving her sister a look of complete outrage, Lu quickly turns her attention to Lólindir.

I think you're right. So, tell me, what exactly are you hoping for? Bringing two young elven women to you room with the promise of rare wine?
Lu leans in closer to the swordmaster, practically whispering the last sentence.

[fistandantilus4....]

A sharing of something wonderful with something wonderful.

[Lady Door]

Lu smiles and backs up a bit.
Now, see to me, that sounds like the talk you swordmasters are famous for and not all the frank talk I find so refreshing. Here, let me help you.With that, Lu leans forward and kisses Lólindir deeply, running her hands up the side of his face and into his hair.

[fistandantilus4....]

Yes, something like that is what I meant to say.

There isn't much more talking for a while.

Lying there in Lólindir's bed later, completely exhausted, Lu finally understands just what the big deal is.

[Lady Door]

Rolling over, Lu smiles at Lólindir and blushes a little.
Thank you... I suppose they'll be needing me on deck soon. Lu plays with the covers nervously, unsure of what to say or how to act.

[fistandantilus4....]

Well you're welcome I suppose. And thank you. It was exquisite, much like you. There is no hurry, unless you truely have some duty to report to.

[Lady Door]

I don't suppose I do. Lu smiles a long, slow smile and kisses Lólindir again.
So, you're going to travel with us then? Fight along side us till whatever end?Lu's tone is teasing, but the question is serious.

[fistandantilus4....]

Correct. Especially now that we've .. sealed our pact. Besides, your task is quite worthy. I would do it if were not you. However it is you, and I can hardly allow just perfect flesh to be marred by a blade, now can I?

I suppose you and your sister are used to watching each other's back, but one more sword cannot be a bad thing.

[Lady Door]

Sliding her fingers up and down his side, Lu nodded.
I agree. Which is why I think it's time I let you in on our little secret.
Lu draws out the pause, enjoying the momentary look of suspense that draws across the elf's handsome features.
There is more to this now then our family heirloom, although, that is ultimately what we seek. There is also gold. A lot of it. Gold that, I think, will soon be offered to this Troll King. Gold that will be used to avenge this Troll's so called honor.

[fistandantilus4....]

Truely? Well that is something. I did say that it takes more than coin to buy my sword, but having the coin to go along with the honor and the beatiful faces surely helps. How much gold ?

[Lady Door]

According to what we know, nine chests of dwarven gold buried before the Scourge. The ork we seek, Kraech Yellowtusk, holds a map and a journal that detail the location of the gold. He goes to join with the Troll King for reasons I do know know, but you can be sure that the gold will soon become reason.

[fistandantilus4....]

That's quite a lot of gold. It could do quite a lot for both of our houses. If you assist you and your sister in finding this treasure, what would my cut be?
