Log

[Midnight Blue Tent]
The deep blue silk overhead has been painted to resemble the night sky, complete with moons.  Bronze lanterns dangle from the tent posts, creating pools of soft, flickering light.  Gold and blue velvet cushions heaped in the corners provide quiet places to rest.  You also see a gilt-necked crimson bottle of wine incised with a gold wyvern, a frosted blue glass bottle, a squat dark brown bottle, a painted vineyard-motif bottle and a bright copper cart with some stuff on it.
Also here: First Legionnaire Laermeluion, Lady Uniana, Lord Teveriel, Lady in Waiting Lynaera, Katness, Mistress Lithyia, Jiarine, Squire Legionnaire Gudbrand, Great Lady Traiva, Squire Legionnaire Tylanthriel, Legionnaire Esana, Grand Lady Opalina, Legionnaire Agathilea, Alenwyn, Squire Legionnaire Krystalena, Orssus, Grand Lord Falvicar, Lady Shyair

Speaking to Aureliano, Tylanthriel says, "Good evening sir."

Speaking to Laermeluion, Agathilea says, "And good evening to you, Sir."

Traiva raises an eyebrow in Shyair's direction.

You turn your thoughts inward, observing your opinion on society and your place within it.

Shyair quietly says, "I won't embarrass anyone by saying what that was."

Feeling slightly flustered, you begin to subconsciously twist a strand of champagne-hued hair around your haircomb.  Realizing what you're doing, you quickly lower your hand and adopt a more composed demeanor to face to the world.

Speaking to Qalinor, Perigourd asks, "Do you have a favored tobacco, Sire?" 

Lithyia chuckles.

Tylanthriel dips Esana dramatically then pulls her back into his arms.

Perigourd cocks his head at Qalinor. 

Speaking to Traiva, Agathilea says, "There is a story there, I feel."

Lady Aphaedra just arrived.

Lithyia says, "I do not have tons of mistletoe stored away."

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Qalinor. 

Aphaedra applauds Tylanthriel.

(Uniana purses her lips and shakes her head, focusing her attention solely on Teveriel. As they move together in a slow, romantic waltz her neutral expression softens with a gentle smile.)

Speaking gently to Shyair, Traiva says, "I do tease you with my last remark."

Shyair quietly says, "He just found me a bit of an idiot to begin with and helped me."

Speaking to Tylanthriel, Aphaedra exclaims, "Make those wings touch the floor!"

Aphaedra grins.

Speaking to Qalinor, Perigourd says, "Mayhaps some day I can find a merchant from the the city with a selection then."

Shyair turns to Dallanoth and cheers!

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Shyair quietly says, "You found it."

(Teveriel's hand rests gently at the small of Uniana's back as he leads her in the slow, sweeping dance. His own countenance holds a quiet, relaxed expression as he gazes into her eyes.)

(Uniana shares a few murmurs with Teveriel, her lips faintly moving as she spins effortlessly in his arms.)

Lithyia says, "Holiday shopping...the very best shopping."

Lithyia smiles.

Esana nods at Tylanthriel.

Shyair agrees with Lithyia.

Agathilea nods in agreement.

Lithyia says, "But  holiday gift giving is even better."

As the troubadours begin another set, several couples nearby begin a lively ring dance.

Lithyia says, "And I have certainly been enjoying gift giving."

Dallanoth smiles at Agathilea.

Esana inclines her head.

Speaking to Aphaedra, Traiva says, "I have a skirt for pirate fighting. It does not throw them off balance as much as I prefer."

Speaking to Tylanthriel, Esana says, "Thank you for such a dance."

Aphaedra grins.

Speaking to Traiva, Dallanoth asks, "Speaking about me?"

Speaking to Agathilea, Qalinor says, "I believe my dance card is now free if you are still intrested." 

Speaking to Esana, Tylanthriel says, "Thank you. You honor me deeply."

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Traiva.

Speaking complacently to Tylanthriel, Esana says, "Most graceful as ever."

Speaking to Traiva, Perigourd asks, "What kind of skirt is best for fighting pirates?"

Perigourd cocks his head at Traiva.

Lithyia says, "A short one."

Speaking quietly to Dallanoth, Shyair says, "Yeah I told them how people keep thinking we are a thing."

Lithyia glances at Perigourd.

Lithyia laughs!

Traiva says, "Yes, the Lady was telling me how kind you were when she started."

Speaking to Traiva, Aphaedra says, "I have one of those as well. I think they expect black leather skirts with high slits so sometimes you have to show up in a gown."

Speaking delightedly to Qalinor, Agathilea exclaims, "Of course!" 

Speaking to Agathilea, Qalinor says, "Though this clumsy old soldier may step on a toe or two." 

Perigourd chuckles.

Qalinor winks at Agathilea. 

Shyair quietly says, "That too."

Agathilea grins at Qalinor. 

Dallanoth begins chuckling at Shyair!

Traiva begins chuckling at Aphaedra!

As the tune finishes, the gathered listeners applaud gently.

Agathilea says, "And I was worried about injuring my Sovereign."

Shyair quietly says, "The times he's had to drag my dead body...."

Agathilea grins at Qalinor. 

Speaking to Perigourd, Traiva says, "I find it best to be in a skirt that allows easy movement. And perhaps a hidden blade."

Speaking to Lithyia, Perigourd muses, "I expect one could do so in a kilt as well."

Speaking to Lithyia, Aphaedra says, "I am sure my husband would agree with you there."

Traiva calmly flutters her wings to an unheard rhythm.

Lithyia grins at Aphaedra.

Perigourd nods in agreement at Traiva.

Lithyia says, "I have never worn a kilt."

Krystalena smiles at Agathilea.

Lithyia says, "But a man in a kilt...that is...nice."

Lithyia nods.

Aphaedra nods at Lithyia.

Lithyia nods at Aphaedra.

Speaking to Lithyia, Aphaedra says, "I knew we were a true meeting of minds."

You hear very soft footsteps.

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Falvicar nuzzles his face against Opalina's.

Qalinor leads Agathilea onto the dance floor, pulling her into a close, yet formal, embrace. 

(Tylanthriel leads Esana off the dance floor and bows towards her once more.)

The soft melodies of a silver-stringed harp and an alto recorder fill the evening air as the musicians begin a song echoing the soft breezes of spring.

Speaking sheepishly to Shyair, Traiva says, "Do not recall that I caught your name, as much as I have enjoyed our banter."

Opalina steals a kiss from Falvicar as they sway across the dance floor.

Speaking amusedly to Traiva, Vyctus says, "I don't think you are supposed to mention hidden blades in the presence of the King..."

Perigourd brings the dark maoral pipe to his lips and inhales deeply of its currant-scent, then abruptly exhales some dark streams of smoke from his nose.

Agathilea blushes a nice shade of pink.

Tylanthriel slowly empties his lungs.

Speaking to Shyair, Traiva introduces, "I am Traiva."

Speaking quietly to Traiva, Shyair says, "I am Shyair Lostborn, Locksmith in training."

Aureliano glances between Vyctus and Traiva.

Traiva smiles at Shyair.

Agathilea smiles at Qalinor. 

Shyair curtsies to Traiva.

Speaking to Shyair, Traiva says, "A pleasure."

Dallanoth chuckles.

Vyctus says, "Granted, there are enough soldiers here... I don't think it would do much."

Traiva curtsies gracefully to Shyair.

Falvicar ponders.

(Teveriel and Uniana glide across the dance floor, each of their forms orbiting the other until they seem nearly as entwined as the briars they both wear as part of their ensembles.)

Shyair quietly says, "At least I don't have dillusions of what I am."

Falvicar nuzzles his face against Opalina's.

Lithyia asks, "Shyair, you were outside earlier when I was plucking all the mistletoe off that wreath, yes?"

The musicians end on a soft and gentle note.

Shyair nods at Lithyia.

Lithyia giggles.

Lithyia grins.

You say, "There was this one year..."

Opalina holds Falvicar close in her arms as they dance.

Speaking to Vyctus, Traiva says, "If you can think of where I could put a blade in this gown, do tell."

You quickly say, "Nevermind."

Lithyia asks, "Did you get your fill of the candy canes?"

Lithyia raises an eyebrow in Shyair's direction.

Lithyia laughs at Traiva!

Dallanoth examines Traiva closely, sizing her up and taking note of all the details.

Alenwyn softly giggles.

Shyair quietly says, "No."

Uniana cheerfully comments, "I swear that wreath is the biggest scandal of the season."

Agathilea extends her left arm over her head and dips forward, her other arm arced behind herself.  As she pirouettes, the hem of her crimson silk gown floats up airly, briefly veiling her in a drape of epaulette-set plumage before descending in a slow spiral.

Falvicar holds Opalina close in his arms as they dance.

Dallanoth rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Agathilea smiles at Qalinor. 

Traiva giggles at Uniana.

Perigourd takes a moment to observe Traiva.

Lithyia says, "The wreath is the most helpful thing ever..or so I do hope it will be."

Shyair quietly says, "So I want to know...."

Qalinor steps in two, then three, then two, then twirl as Agathilea effortlessly matches each step. 

Lithyia says, "It certainly cannot make things worse."

The musicians strike up an old romantic ballad.

Shyair quietly says, "How is a parasitic poisonous plant the symbol of kissing."

Perigourd nods thoughtfully.

Laermeluion smiles.

Lithyia says, "I do not think that deeply about it."

Vyctus chuckles.

Lithyia grins at Shyair.

Orssus grins at Krystalena.

Shyair ponders.

Traiva gives a sidelong glance at Dallanoth.

Traiva picks idly at an off-the-shoulder claret velvet gown beaded with golden seed pearls.

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra asks, "You have never kissed someone poisonous even though you knew it was a bad idea?"

Dallanoth smiles at Traiva.

Perigourd puffs rapidly on his dark maoral pipe, some dark wisps of fragrant currant-scented smoke dancing about him.

Aphaedra grins at Shyair.

Qalinor drops Agathilea into a low dip, before pulling her upright into a close, yet formal, embrace once more. 

You think to yourself, "It would be rather amusing for him to ask Alenwyn to dance."

Traiva begins chortling at Aphaedra.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Speaking quietly to Aphaedra, Shyair says, "No."

You find yourself humming along to the music and catch yourself just as it ends.

Speaking surprisedly to Qalinor, Agathilea says, "Feels like we left the ground." 

Lithyia says, "I dont recommend it, even though I continue to repeat the same mistakes."

Lithyia laughs!

Lithyia nods at Shyair.

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra says, "You really must. It is a life experience."

Speaking lightly to Aphaedra, Traiva asks, "That is rather a fun sort of danger, no?"

Agathilea glances down.

Shyair quietly says, "I don't kiss."

Falvicar grins impishly at Opalina.

Aphaedra nods at Shyair.

Agathilea blushes a pink shade at Qalinor. 

Lithyia blinks.

Qalinor steps in two, then three, then two, then twirl as Agathilea embraces the dance, embellishing perfectly with her own flourishes. 

Shyair quietly says, "Or any of that.... stuff."

Dallanoth mutters she-bites.

Lithyia says, "Oh."

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra exclaims, "Then by all means, no poisonous kisses for you!"

Opalina tilts her head and tosses an inviting wink in Falvicar's direction.

Lithyia agrees with Aphaedra.

Shyair ponders.

(Uniana absently traces over the tines along Teveriel's collar before their movements slow and take a few measured steps back from each other.)

(Aphaedra gnashes her teeth at Dallanoth with a chuckle.)

Perigourd puffs rapidly on his dark maoral pipe, some dark wisps of fragrant currant-scented smoke dancing about him.

Speaking to Dallanoth, Aphaedra says, "I wasn't sure which of us you meant."

Gentle melodies flow forth from the musicians' instruments.

Speaking curiously to Opalina, Aureliano asks, "Are you and your husband staying long, or just visiting for the evening?"

Shyair quietly says, "I have threatened Dezter with a carrot."

Uniana sinks down in a deep curtsy before Teveriel, her lashes lowered.

Aphaedra laughs at Shyair!

Lithyia asks, "A carrot?"

Speaking softly to Dallanoth, Traiva says, "I hope you do not mind my admiration of your boots. The heels are quite stunning."

Speaking to Aphaedra, Dallanoth says, "Not you."

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra says, "You know... I do not believe my brother eats vegetables."

Agathilea smiles at Qalinor. 

Shyair quietly says, "He ate his veggies.... then went and died and sank his boat."

Shyair shakes her head.

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra says, "A good threat."

Gudbrand returns to normal color.

Dallanoth smiles at Traiva.

Teveriel smiles almost wistfully as he and Uniana end their dance, returning her curtsy with a courtly bow.

Speaking quietly to Aureliano, Opalina says, "We were visiting for the evening."

Speaking reverently to Teveriel, Uniana says, "Thank you."

Vyctus grins at Corlyne.

Tylanthriel grins at Esana.

Uniana tilts her head up.

Corlyne chuckles.

Esana nods in agreement.

Speaking to Traiva, Dallanoth asks, "Thank you, i am sure you know of Akenna?"

Traiva smiles brightly.

(Falvicar raises Opalina up suddenly, and he carefully moves in a circle while holding her, before bringing her down slowly.. ending it in a dip down to the floor before pulling her back into his arms.)

Speaking quietly to Aureliano, Opalina says, "But we are not in a rush."

The music seems to wind on forever, bringing old memories and thoughts long forgotten to the surface of your mind.

Qalinor lifts Agathilea high above his head as he turns slowly once, twice, then one final time as he lowers Agathilea into a close, yet formal embrace once more. 

Lithyia asks, "Who doesnt know of Akenna?"

Speaking tenderly to Uniana, Teveriel responds, "Always."

Lithyia laughs!

Uniana's fingers trace aimless designs over the aqilorn of her gown.

Agathilea breathlessly exclaims, "Oh!"

Opalina releases a tiny squeak of surprise!

Agathilea smiles at Qalinor. 

Shyair quietly asks, "Who's Akenna?"

Traiva says, "You missed the mention earlier that her marriage is my fault."

Agathilea chuckles.

Speaking sincerely to Opalina, Aureliano asks, "I am sorry to hear that. Could I convince you to stay the evening as a guest and join with us tomorrow for food?"

Aphaedra applauds Qalinor. 

Dallanoth tries fruitlessly to rub off some of the blood from his boots.

Speaking to Shyair, Traiva says, "Akenna is Jaysehn's, the Commodore's, wife, and a master cordwainer."

Lithyia says, "Akenna makes fabulous footwear."

Qalinor steps back from Agathilea and bows deeply at the waist before leading her off the dance floor. 

Lithyia nods.

Speaking to Traiva, Dallanoth says, "She does fine work."

Tylanthriel attempts to hum a merry little tune.

Dallanoth grins.

Speaking to Traiva, Perigourd says, "Among other things."

Perigourd nods in agreement at Traiva.

Krystalena smiles Agathilea and Qalinor 

Shyair quietly asks, "Cord....wainer?"

Agathilea drops smoothly into a deep curtsy before Qalinor, sweeping her arms grandly to her sides. 

A strolling band of musicians begins a sprightly dance tune.

Lithyia says, "Shoemaker."

Shyair squints.

Lithyia nods at Shyair.

Shyair quietly exclaims, "Oh!"

Speaking to Shyair, Traiva says, "She designs footwear, besides making it."

Speaking quietly to Falvicar, Opalina asks, "Would you like to stay My darling?"

Lithyia says, "They fit your feet perfectly.  Her shoes are perfection."

Shyair quietly says, "I don't have the patienced or funds for special stuff."

(Uniana leads Teveriel towards Vyctus and Corlyne.)

Shyair quietly says, "My shoe fits perfectly."

Traiva bashfully says, "I am attempting to follow in her footsteps, so to speak."

Lithyia says, "You will get there."

Lithyia nods at Traiva.

Shyair takes a pair of astonishing blue silk slippers studded with onyx scarabs off her feet.

Dallanoth begins chuckling at Traiva!

Agathilea begins chuckling at Qalinor! 

Perigourd puffs rapidly on his dark maoral pipe, some dark wisps of fragrant currant-scented smoke dancing about him.

Shyair shows Traiva her blue silk slippers.

Vyctus smiles at Uniana.

The music seems to wind on forever, bringing old memories and thoughts long forgotten to the surface of your mind.

Gudbrand seems a bit less imposing.

(Traiva lifts her skirts slightly to show off her shoes.)

Speaking to Shyair, Aphaedra says, "That makes me so sad. I have almost as many pairs of shoes as I have glowns."

Vyctus bows deeply at the waist, honoring Uniana.

Speaking to Lithyia, Traiva says, "It is a fair enough attempt."

Lithyia nods at Aphaedra.

Speaking softly to Qalinor, Agathilea compliments, "A lovely dance sir.  Nice moves." 

Corlyne kisses Uniana tenderly, first on one cheek, then the other.

Lithyia nods at Traiva.

Agathilea smiles at Qalinor. 

Shyair quietly says, "This is my red spidersilk gown dyed blue."

Lithyia agrees with Traiva.

A single feather slips from Esana's white-feathered wings and floats gently on an unfelt breeze, dissipating into a fine silver mist just before reaching the floor.

Shyair slips a pair of astonishing blue silk slippers studded with onyx scarabs onto her feet.  They appear to fit perfectly.

Vyctus pleasantly says, "Cousins, a pleasure to have your company."

Traiva laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement from Shyair.

Speaking to Agathilea, Qalinor says, "It's always because of my partner." 

Qalinor winks at Agathilea. 

Shyair pouts.

Krystalena leans softly against Orssus.

Agathilea blushes a pink hue to the tips of her ears.

Shyair quietly says, "I suddenly feel like less of a woman but my locker is full."

Agathilea inclines her head.

Speaking to Shyair, Traiva says, "My seamstress would love to work for you. Your wardrobe must be much easier to attend than mine."

Aphaedra looks over at Shyair and shakes her head.

A strolling band of musicians begins a sprightly dance tune.

Speaking in Elven to Opalina, Falvicar says, "I'm not against my Love, though I'd hope we'd head back home afterward.  I still have much work to do with my katana and will be recovered enough to continue to work on it tomorrow as it were."

Dallanoth says, "I just realized i am woefully under dressed."

Speaking casually to Vyctus, Teveriel says, "Hello again, Lord Scio; Lady Feynde."

Hanging on securely with three paws, the sewer rat on Dallanoth's shoulder licks its fourth paw and spends several seconds carefully smoothing out the fur covering its lower back and one leg.

Shyair grins at Dallanoth.

Shyair quietly says, "Nah."
