Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: ~F~
Enter. *comes the murmered response, just loud enough to be heard*
Myles Jordan: He reaches for the handle with
a swoop of his free arm, and let's the door swing open. He takes a step inside
and closes the door behind him, before looking inside the room.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *the room
looks alot like the point of an epee. oh. no wait, thats the point of an epee.
beyond it, a pale girl, hair slightly mussed, looking a little odd in silk
pajamas and white driving gloves. the point hovers at his neck as she regards
him almly, grey eyes a-glitter.* Good Morning. Who might you be?
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *the room
itself is white. bookshelves line a wall, reaching the high vaulted ceiling. a
fireplace at the far end, no fire. two small white suede loveseats... a white
suede chair.. a weapon rack towards the window and a large bed with a small
divot in the middle where it was recently slept in.*
Myles Jordan: "Wah!" He leans back away from
the point, "Do not name my name here until this place is warded, Miss Randelle."
His voice is grainy and rough.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: warded
sir? *the girl simply extends her arm, keeping the tip within striking
distance, her eyes narrowing a moment*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
7,6,2,
Myles Jordan: He narrows his eyes, waiting.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: mm. *a
thin white brow piques* As per our arangement sir?
Myles Jordan: "As per." He looks around the
room while leaning back a little further, ~french~ "This place seems very...
clean."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: ~F~ Thank
you. *she extends the epee further a foot slipping forward to maintain her
balance* ~F~ I trust that unpleasant cat that was following you is not roaming
the grounds currently? *cool grey eyes flicker as she waits on his answer*
Myles Jordan: ~french~ "No, she is hiding
from me, far far away." He takes a step back. ~french~ "Are you enjoying this?"
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: ~F~ Of
course. I rather delight in unknown men impersonating others at 5:00 in the
morning. Do go on sir.. *she slips forward, blade still at his throat* ~F~ There
was no cat. What is your name, and why have you come? *her eyes narrow*
Myles Jordan: ~a french sigh~ He rolls his
head back in mock exhaustion, "I thought you were talking about the girl I was
after. And if you're not, I don't know about any cat besides my old
girlfriend's. Why are the french always so literal?"
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *the
eyebrow piques up again* What color was the rose sir?
Myles Jordan:
2,3,4,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *she
looks very much like should the answer not suit her she will draw her blade
vertically and end him. without so much as an "excuse me"*
Myles Jordan: He thinks. He thinks hard. "It
was by the pool... and I was trying to be all suave... gimme a moment..."
Myles Jordan:
6,6,5,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *a moment
looks to be pushing it, her left arm dawing back slightly to ensure more force,
her eyes on his*
Myles Jordan: He remembers, "Green. But fuck
it." He snaps his hands into fists and barks a word.
Myles Jordan:
9,8,5,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
2,3,6,
Myles Jordan: He backs up the one step to
lean against the door, then walks around her. Then he runs for a weapon. The
effect wears off.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *she
remains frozen in place a moment, before she's able to occupy space again and
whirls around, eyes flashing*
Myles Jordan: He jumps around the furniture
and grabs another epee from the weapons rack.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *the glare of headlights
passes across the window*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: I will
not tolerate such insolence in my home Hermetic. *she murmers, looking to
the blade he grabs, lights illuminating the ghost of a girl a moment, glinting
off the blade. oh yes. she knows who he is.* Do mind yourself. *her blade is
out. ready*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *that little girl...
maddening.. so much insanity centered around what amounts to sixty pounds of
basic biology. The stoic Judge's face locked in grim inward focus as he steps
out of the vehicle and locks the door behind.*
Myles Jordan: He keeps the tip of the blade
turned downward, and seems quite angry, "Good, you know who I am. Remember, do
not say my name while this place is not warded, or shit will fly. It is
impolite, though, to point weapons at people's throats."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: It is
also suspicious for apparent strangers to spout of things they shouldn't have
knowledge of, and visit a woman in the inappropriate hours of the morning. Do
Not speak to me of propriety Sir. *her blade? not so much in the downward
position*
Myles Jordan: He shrugs. "So do we settle
down, or settle this?" His blade is still pointed at the floor, but there is
alot of distance between them.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: ward it.
*she murmers, eyes on him, thin creature ready to slap him with that blade if
need be* And we shall speak pleasantly. However, Should I stop in motion again,
you will not have oppurtunity for pleasanties.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He enters the code on
the gate, then moves back to the suv to drive it through before it slides
closed.*
Myles Jordan: He chuckles, but it's a deep
grainy sort. "Acceptable."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *she
remains silent, hoping this was a good descision, epee tip flicking slightly*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *must get one of those
remotes.. his attention called to other things as he steps out again to finally
cross the yard to the door.. again the picture of an obnoxious child passes
across his mind's eye.. this one will stop consorting with the get of the
Enemy.. how easy it seems to be for one to mistake being likable with being on
the side of the righteous.. fools... He knocks, rather than ring the bell.*
Myles Jordan: "So, you'll keep me off the
street if I keep this place warded?" He rolls his shoulders, and then turns
around to look at her other weapons. He doesn't back the epee in his hand back
yet though.
Myles Jordan: (doesn't _put_ back)
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
2,8,5,10,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: That will
depend entirely on your discretion sir. *she murmers, delicate brow pinching. a
pale gloved hand flicks up to tuck at a strand of mussy hair. no use really. had
that been a car motor she'd heard?* You understand
Myles Jordan: "I understand, Miss
Randelle." His back is now to her as he sets the epee back in place.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Then has the presence
of mind to check his watch. No, the woman was not inexhaustible in her duties..
he rings the bell, providing ample time for the ~highly~ disgruntled maid to
make her way back toward the door ~again~.. this time.. the nearly invisible
scowl.. and a hint of worry in place before she inquires as to the identity of
the next lout to mar her fresh coat of finish on the floor.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *the
doorbell rings and she almost starts. looking to Myles. that had better NOT be a
technocrat.. though she highly doubts they'd ring the bell. the girl moves
towards the window, an eye on the hermetic as she looks out quickly*
Myles Jordan:
6,6,8,
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Disgruntled, but indeed
dilligent as well- the put upon maid delaaaaaays as long as she is able in
allowing the severe magyar entry.. once the door does finally open, a brief and
false apology given for the sticking lock.. it trips a time or two as mily pale
eyes only bore into the woman... never lose temper with the help.. the creatures
never remember their place forever after. He reminds himself twice before
moving, a muscle in his jaw twitching slightly as he passes her his overcoat
with a single, firm flick.* Fix it, Maria..
Myles Jordan: He inspects the mace.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *suv...
oh. a purse of lips as she looks to Myles* I suggest you ward sir, so we may
conclude our discussion. *she points atthe mace with the epee* Do put that down
please.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The distinctive rumble
of his voice boils through the entry hall as he makes his way toward the
library, intent upon some more study of this obnoxious mythology some primate
has convinced Silkie to spout these days. Cretinous sheep.. had they only never
been allowed to forget their betters, they would have not time for such
ridiculous fables. The firm click of bootheels against marble as he passes.*
Myles Jordan: He puts the mace down. "It
takes time. Hours of work. Starting tomorrow after a good night's rest would be
the safest. Would that be a hastle?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He does pause to wonder
briefly if Abbey would even posess a copy of the bible.. he recalls it as a
rather boring read.. he turns, making his way toward the stairs.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *her eyes
flicker a moment. no warding meant no verification of who he was, as she
apparently couldn't say his name until it was warded. she looks mutedly
displeased*
Myles Jordan: He turns back around and
starts to slowly walk back toward her, shrugging questioningly.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *ooh. not
too close. the blade raises at his approach* I think that it may indeed, be a
hassle. Sir.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *The sound of footsteps
on the stairs.*
Myles Jordan: He frowns, ~french~ "Why?"
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: So I
might confirm whom you are before allowing your further presence *she keeps the
blade pointed*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((DD?)) *The door swings
open smoothly as Ingvar steps inside.. the look on his face passing from quiet
introspection and the preperation to ask a question.. to something entirely
different.. coldly attractive features swiveling between the two as pale eyes
skate down the tip of the epee toward Myles.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: this
would require your warding to be immediate. Hence, a hassle
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: Perhaps
you might sleep elsewhere?
Myles Jordan: He turns around sharply on a
heel and starts to walk away, and his hands go deep into his pockets.
Myles Jordan: He stands confidently, with a hint of a smile on his lips. His face is tanned from the sun, so he probably works outdoors. He's wearing a white jean jacket with stains of dirt and grime that won't wash out, worn blue jeans with faded knees and shins, new red and grey sneakers, grey socks. He's around six feet tall, with short cropped ginger red hair, bleach blond highlights, bright green eyes, with a thin face. The man might be around twenty-six, and in the prime of his life. He is extremely good looking, and his ass is amazingly sexy.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *her
eyes widen slightly. hopefully that came out in french. a purse of lips as she
looks to ingvar* Good Morning. *her eyes and the blade track Myles. wary, but no
longer on "kill"*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His eyes glaze slowly,
one raven eyebrow arching slowly up his head as stark features travel back
toward Abbey slowly.. did she just say...*
Myles Jordan: He looks over his shoulder
at the new man in the room, and then turns to look at the weapons rack again. ~french~
"Fine, I can a small one now, and a stronger one tomorrow."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *abbey's
suddenly tense as assassin's wire. oh dear god. that was english. it was. she
inclines her head to Myles murmering softly* that would be appropriate sir.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *An odd young man,
though attractive in that self posessed eastern european way. Ingvar cuts a
figure almost impossible to ignore- more through the severity of his presence
than any particulars of face or form.. shadows haunt the hard planes of a stark,
but coldly attractive face and lend him more gravity than the powerful but
slender features of his shape would indicate. Long black hair and pale green
eyes that seem to blink only seldom and carry a quiet, feral intensity few chose
to regard for long, and a distant but provocative promise of easy cruelty. The
man carries the waiting brutality of a hammer clothed in exquisite style*.
Ingvar Urgahaldt:
4,4,7,4,3,7,
Myles Jordan: He's still holding that
black book in his left hand.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He only stares at the
woman for a second, before deciding he certainly might be able to propose
another place to sleep. One well manicured hand rises to smooth an eyebrow as
the other dips into his jacket, withdrawing a sleek, silenced firearm and
chambering a round. With smooth precision he raises it at Myles with the aplomb
of a man studying a painting.*
Myles Jordan:
8,5,6,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: Ingvar.
*her voice is quiet* Please. this is not at all as it appears to be. He is an
associate of mine.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: (we
needing to roll init boys?)
Myles Jordan: "Sir, I would not do that."
The voice is grainy and seasoned, and the man is looking at Ing from the
reflection of the dagger he is tilting with a hand. "Let's me introduce myself
first, at least."
Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((no no- Ingvar's in that crazyman daze. going last if there even ~is~ an init. Its just the sleeping somewhere else thing was too good a line to waste.*L*))
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *her
lips purse slightly as she moves towards the door, and Ingvar* Sir. do put that
down, please. *grey eyes flick to the tall lord.* Your weapon as well Ingvar.
All will be clear in a moment.
Myles Jordan: He lets the dagger roll back
into place on the rack.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Jaw muscles bunch for a
moment, though it doesn't seem as though he even gets a spike in bloodpressure.
Even pointing a gun he seems an eerie, but very courteous gentleman.* By all
means sir... please do. *His voice rumbles vibrantly through the air* If this is
so.. why does his presence draw the need for a sword?
Myles Jordan: He grins at that. "Because I
haven't fulfilled my part of the deal yet. I am Miss Randelle's personal Warder.
Good morning, Sir."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: It is
very complicated. *she murmers, looking to Myles. dear god man don't be a
smartass for once* Perhaps you would be more comfortable on the loveseat Ingvar?
*she gestures with her free hand, ever the polite hostess*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He looks between the
two of them, that odd glaze flickering only slowly from his eyes. Never one
given to outright rudeness, the severe man safeties the pistol and slides it
back under the very tasteful jacket.* And to you, sir.. *pale eyes linger a
moment, then flick in stoney silence toward Abbey.* I trust sleeping
arrangements are of no further issue?
Myles Jordan: "Everything will be
explained in one minute." He slowly steps onto the white wool carpet, and stands
in the center with purpose.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *if she
sneezed.. she might shatter, held too tense for sudden movement to seem
conceivable, despite this a slight inclination of her head* We will see to such
in a moment sir. *she murmers, a lurch in her stomach at Ing's eyes on her. a
narrowing of eyes. her chin takes a defiant tilt to it*
Myles Jordan:
3,4,6,
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *In between words that
thrum through the room with a commanding and echoing grace, from time to time
jaw muscles still flex, though he doesn't seem aware. Slowly something in the
man begins to uncoil.*
Myles Jordan: Myles watches the interplay
between Abbey and Ingvar. "Now, this will be a rough job, but it will do for a
bit."
Myles Jordan: He takes a wide stance, and
balls his tanned hands into fists. He unfocuses his eyes, staring straight
forward at a far wall, and starts to chant in a strange language.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He clasps powerful
hands behind his back, looking from one to the other, as casually regal as
though they had been discussing the weather.*
Myles Jordan:
4,2,10,2,7,2,8,
Myles Jordan:
9,5,6,
Myles Jordan:
5,4,3,
Myles Jordan:
1,3,6,
Myles Jordan: ((Awareness if you want))
He stops rambling. And it was rambling, because he couldn't seem to find his
focus, especially at the end there. Oh well. It'll last for a bit. He
sighs, and then shrugs at the couple by the door. "Done."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *abbey
watches Myles, sword flicking dangerously close to Ingvar's leg a moment as it
speaks of agitation that a Pale girl doesn't outwardly show, other hand set at
her side lightly*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
2,1,10,
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: (what?
magic?)
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Nostrils flare for a
moment as Abbey recieves a certain and proprietary attention, if discreetly so.
When Myles begins to chant, a subtle but telling change sweeps the young Lord.
Milky eyes widen only a fraction, then begin to sweep the air around the other
man- finally focusing with singular intensity against him.. entirely absorbed in
what he is doing.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
Perfect *she murmers inclining her head to Myles* Now sir. might you provide
your name?
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}:
5,9,9,
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He does not seem to
notice the sword's elegant jaunt so near his person, as though completely
confident he is in no danger. Severe features cant slightly as he listens to the
language... looking for any sign the man may be like her. He sees nothing
himself, but yet remains quite fascinated, if distantly so.*
Myles Jordan: He slowly starts to walk
towards Ingvar and Abbey, and shrugs, "Once known as Travis Kennedy, now known
as Myles Jordan for reasons Abbey is probably aware of." He bows a little toward
the man, but the bow is sloppy. "How do you do, Sir."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *a murmer
in french under her breath.. yes. that verifys it. a slight nod* Mr. .. Jordan,
is it now? A pleasure. I regret the unpleasantness of earlier. I trust you
understand?
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *she
looks to Ingvar. the man would likely prefer to introduce himself. after all.
what would she introduce him as? her boyfriend? tawdry. Her fiance? no.. she..
no. best to let him introduce himself*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes slip across the man as he bows slightly in return, his own crisp, seemingly ingrained in his person.* A pleasure, Mr. Jordan. I am Ingvar Urgahaldt.
Myles Jordan: A respectful nod, "I understand, Miss
Randelle. And Sir, it is an honour to meet you." He walks to stand about 2
meters away from them.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *a slight purse of
lips as she looks between the two men. she murmers* Gentleman, perhaps you might
be seated?
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *A slight cant of his head, as
though accustomed to accepting such in grace and silence.* I trust.. all is
warded, now? *He waves one powerful, manicured hand* might I inquire as to how.
*He looks between them, politely.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: Certainly madam. *He gestures
with distant decorum toward a seat for Mr. Jordan and lowers himself smoothly
onto one of the loveseats, his clothing and form arranged with deft skill,
draping one leg over the other.*
Myles Jordan: A wide grin, "This room is warded
against scrying, Mr. Urgahaldt." As if that answered the question. He twists
around and strides toward a white loveseat, and thinks about sitting down. He
removes his dirty jacket first, then takes a seat.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *damnit. abbey's
the only one not dressed appropriately, silken pajamas smoothed with a small
hand as she glides to sit beside Ingvar, epee laid at her feet as she folds her
hands delicately in her lap, tenseness slipping slowly from her frame, a polite
curl of lips as Myles takes off the dirty jacket*
Myles Jordan: He folds his leg over the other, just
like Ingvar, but it's more of a slide than a drap. The man's tanned skin stands
out against the white of the upholstery.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: How is it you are
so changed, Mr. Kennedy? I regret the chilly reception however, you do not
appear yourself. *she murmers quietly*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants his head slightly, as
though sharing Abbey's question as a matter of polite interest.*
Myles Jordan: "Mister Jordan is fine, Miss Randelle.
I've changed, I admit." His voice is grainy and rough.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: Of course Mr.
Jordan. Forgive me. *she makes a slight dismissive gesture with her hand* How
long do you intend on occupying the guest house, sir?
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *All the while tasting the
definition of "scrying" over and over in his head.. breaking it down by syntax,
usage.. finding applicable definitions in this case..*
Myles Jordan: "As long as it takes for me to start
my new life is the current plan, although as long as I stay here I will keep the
grounds warded."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *she considers a
moment, regarding Ingvar breifly before murmering* Yes. I think such is
acceptable. Is It not possible to ward something with any sort of permanance,
Mr. Jordan?
Myles Jordan: "Not right now. We can discus
something of that nature tomorrow perhaps?" He examines Ingvar.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes slide to Abbey,
considering a moment. As such as wards or accoutrements of their craft are
discussed, the young man follows with the careful, but polite consideration of
one truly interested.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: Of course. *she
rises in one fluid motion and moves to a bookshelf, crouching and opening the
bottom cabinet part and withdrawing a paper from a folder* Have you
Identification Sir. authenitic or otherwise?
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He cants an eyebrow slightly,
frosting around the edges as he's looked over so thuroughly.*
Myles Jordan: "None. I destroyed it all. Would
either of you have the ability to procure something of that sort?"
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He shakes his head slightly.*
Not at all. Time would be an element, depending on what precisely you wanted in
the way of credentials to support the background. *He pinches a bit of nothing
from a sleeve.* However.. in return, rather than payment, I would ask for more
thurough information about what exactly has transpired today, yes? *the faint
flavor of a slavic accent*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((Edit to "Not a problem at
all"))
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *an eyebrow raises
at Ingvar, bringing back a peice of paper and handing it to Myles, before
sitting down*
Myles Jordan: He slides his foot from atop his knee
back to the ground and takes the piece of paper. "That seems like a fair
exchange, Mister Urgahaldt."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *its a
confidentiality agreement. obviously the reason she inquired as to his ID.
basically says.. while in employ of miss randelle what transpires while in her
employ remains confidential. (barring illegal activity bla bla bla tricky tricky
legalese... ) *
Myles Jordan: Myles begins to read the document,
smiling as he does so.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods slightly, distantly
pleased, it would seem. strong fingers lace in his lap as he continues to regard
the two of them.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *a slight quirk of
lips as she regards Ingvar, then Myles. Perhaps she would start casting ring of
truth at every gathering. It rather simplifies things. she murmers* Perhaps
tommorrow. Mr. Jordan. Once you are settled into the guest house we shall
discuss such things further?
Myles Jordan: He hands the document back to Abbey,
"Yes, that seems acceptable. I will sign it tomorrow pending the completion of
the wards, and the condition of the guest house."
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: Of course. *she
inclines her head, taking the contract back and rising* If that is all sir,
Maria would be pleased to show you to your accomadations.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *Pale eyes flicker to his watch-
discreet enough to avoid giving an ill impression. Pointing a gun at the man is
one thing. Mild enough, a bit off the cuff, but plain. Being untoward as a host
though... disgusting.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He rises with the pair of them,
canting his head slightly to Mr. Jordan.* Again, a pleasure. Have a good day,
Mr. Jordan.
Myles Jordan: He stands up and grabs his jacket
from the floor beside the loveseat, and then walks over to the weapons rack to
collect his black book. "Thank you, Miss Randelle, Mister Urgahadlt." He walks
towards the exit, and as he does so, he lifts the effect on the room. He walks
out the open door and closes it behind him.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *abbey glides to
the door and locks it. Confident the maid is pretending to dust something nearby
anyway, and knows her duties.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *once the door is
firmly locked she turns her attention to Ingvar, grey eyes finding his. A quirk
of an eyebrow*
Ingvar Urgahaldt:
*Pale eyes follow the man out the door, lingering against the grain for a moment
before slipping back to the willowy creature.* An.. interesting man. What is a
"Warder" in the willworking sense? *His gaze travels with keen interest around
the room for a moment.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: A gentleman who
provides protection through will. *she murmers, eyes growing cooler by the
moment*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His attention seems to find a
middle distance for a moment, but returns to more pressing matters almost
immediately.* Were you in danger? *a flick of green to the epee on the floor.*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: I had to be
certain it was he I was indeed Speaking to. He is quite changed. I took no
chances Sir. *she regards him a moment and murmers* What was it you thought upon
arriving sir. I do regret you finding him thusly.
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He purses lips slightly,
considering her question as he adjusts one cuff.* Yes.. you see.. "thought" is
not exactly what one would call it. Most immediately, I thought him some sort of
intruder intent upon doing you harm. Maria delaying my entry rather confused my
perception of things, however. I suppose the most concise way to put it remains
that he was near you.. and you seemed to have been alone in your defense. *pale
eyes travel her face for a moment.. so precious a creature..*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *after a moments
consideration she nods. silently she moves across the room, scooping up her epee
and circling gracefully to the weapons rack to place it in its appointed spot,
before she moves to Ingvars side, slipping off her gloves and folding them in
her hands, bruising darkening somewhat*
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: .. Maria delayed
your entry? *as though it just processed through*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *His head turns slightly of its
own accord, nostrils flaring again. The rise of grapefruit to his nose untainted
by blood or fear seems to soothe something the Magyar remains only partially
aware of, emotion yet roughly as comfortable as a live cobra under his clothing.
One powerful hand settles under one of hers, raising it slightly as he looks at
the pale fingers held in his palm as though trying to divine future from tea
leaves.* You would like to retire?
Ingvar Urgahaldt: Indeed she did. The woman grows
ill mannered. Forgets her station too readily.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: She will be seen
to. *a downward tug of lips. yes. uppity and conniving that maid. too valuable
in discretion to be dismissed however. threatened.. yes. dismissed? no. abbey
exhales softly and looks up to The dark hungarian holding a pale white hand in
his own* Retiring would be pleasant Sir. Yes.
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: *her other hand gives her gloves a
precise toss, landing them on the arm of the loveseat, to be dealt with in the
morning.. well. later in the morning*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: *He nods, pale eyes slipping up
the arm to the woman, a muted sort of regard showing in his eyes for a moment.*
Ingvar Urgahaldt: ((ftb?))
Abbey Randelle {Randelle Manor}: (ftb!)
