Log captured from the viewpoint of Opalina


[Ta'Vaalor, Amaranth Court - 3493] (u14100007)

Teeming with greenery and flowers, the center of the court provides a temporary gathering spot for the residents of the city. Beds of multicolored peonies, thickly carpeted ivy, and the wey's namesake amaranth line the cobblestone square beneath a canopy of thick shade trees. Moonlight filters through the leafy boughs above, illuminating the area in a cool silvery sheen. You also see a midnight blue tent, a vert-striped stand draped in a curtain of silk winter roses with some stuff on it, a holly-draped mahogany stall, a pumpkin-set narrow wood wagon, a red barn-framed cart, a garland-draped wrought bronze cart with some stuff on it, a harlequin-patterned purple and gold wagon strung with myriad tiny lanterns, a stamp-covered bright wooden wagon, a multicolored candy cane-lined rack with some stuff on it and a wreath of fragrant pine needles and metallic ornaments.

Also here: Legionnaire Esana, Gudbrand

[Midnight Blue Tent - ] (u857102) The deep blue silk overhead has been painted to resemble the night sky, complete with moons.

Malinya takes a few steps back. Vyctus pulls his jade wool coat together, fastening it deftly with quick movements of his fingers. Afterwards, he smoothes out the fabric and adjusts the sleeves, then places his hands casually within the pockets as he strikes a pose. He must think he's fashionable or something.

Gudbrand appears less confident and fearless.

Laermeluion raises an eyebrow.

Lithyia takes a bite of her dipped blueberries.

He appears to be a Vaalor Elf.

He is tall. He appears to be in the prime of life. He has dark-rimmed green eyes and fair skin. He has very short, amber hair. He has a classical nose and narrow pointed ears.

He is in good shape.

He is holding a flute of rose-infused champagne in his right hand.

He is wearing a simple electrum circlet, a dark crimson jacket with a golden wyvern embroidered on the left breast, a dark gold wool capelet, an eahnor wyvern badge, a crisp golden silk shirt with crimson blazestar cufflinks, a gold-bound crimson silk scabbard decorated with a ferocious eahnor wyvern, a pair of dark crimson slacks with a gold stripe down each leg, and a pair of dark leather boots cuffed at the knee.

She has beautifully smoke-outlined large, lavender-sheened dark lilac-hued eyes, glossy eahnor red full lips, and fair skin. She has long, sleek champagne-hued hair fashioned into an impeccably-coiffed twist and held with an intricately carved lasimor haircomb set with some crimson dragonstalks. She has a straight nose and delicately curving, svelte pointed ears. The pale blonde of her hair is echoed in her lashes and eyebrows, the former being long and curled and the latter arching strikingly. She has scintillating eahnor red lacquer brushed onto her smoothly filed fingernails.

She is in good shape.

She is wearing a beaded sheer gold wrap, a double-strand gold bead necklace, a sweeping eahnor-hued marbrinus gown back-latticed with brilliantly gilded accents, a pair of elbow-length muted gold silk gloves, and a pair of dainty glass slippers.

She has long, roughly arranged obsidian hair side-swept by a trio of stark white narcissus flowers, leaving loosely tousled waves to rest across her shoulders. She has a thorn-like brand across the hollow of her throat. She has velvet-like burgundy cream meticulously brushed across her lips.

Her nape of the neck is pierced with an ebon swallowtail butterfly.

She has an arc of inked silhouettes across the curve of her collarbone, and a sable-inked line of calligraphy on her finger.

She is in good shape.

Uniana says, speaking coolly to Qalinor, "I am sure Your Majesty is full of invitations and well wishes this time of year," extending her hand out to Tylanthriel, "and it has nothing at all to do with the state of my home being under construction in an effort to be worthy of a seated royal."

Agathilea grins.

Lithyia begins chuckling at Traiva!

Qalinor says, speaking to Perigourd, "I do not remember the name, but I received some as a gift when I was stationed in Ta'Nalfein that was remarkable. I have long since given up ever finding it again though."

Lithyia grins at Agathilea.

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

Shyair quietly says, "I work hard to gain my skills."

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.)

Traiva says, speaking gently to Shyair, "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."

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

Traiva softly says, "I hope I did not offend."

Agathilea grins.

The opalescent aura fades from around Traiva.

The brilliant aura fades away from Traiva.

Traiva appears less confident.

The air shivers about Traiva, glistening faintly before stilling to normalcy.

Traiva begins to breathe less deeply.

The dim aura fades from around Traiva.

Qalinor says, speaking to Perigourd, "I am certain it was something local, and not widely distributed."

Shyair quietly says, "I'm not offended."

The group finishes the music and pauses to let the listeners chat a bit.

Lithyia nods at Agathilea.

Traiva gives a sigh of relief.

Aphaedra gives Lithyia a friendly hug.

Tylanthriel grins at Esana.

Tylanthriel dances lightly across the dance floor with Esana.

Shyair quietly says, "I don't think I can be offended for myself."

Aureliano whispers, "You danced with grace, town councilor. Despite your earlier concerns, it does not seem you needed any tutelage. (repeat in case you missed it in the scroll)."

Lithyia beams happily at Aphaedra!

Esana laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Perigourd nods.

Aphaedra exclaims, "Lith I am so glad you are well aquainted with my dear friend Agathilea!"

Shyair quietly says, "Waste of energy."

Lithyia giggles to herself.

Erienne put a gold-bladed pristine white fan in her ivory silk wrist-purse.

Erienne just closed a gathered glass-beaded ivory silk wrist-purse.

Krystalena sways to and fro as she dances.

Traiva says, speaking softly to Shyair, "I have heard many of those rumours bandied about others, that they only achieved success through dubious means."

Qalinor whispers, "Thank you for taking the time to speak with me off the record. I feel confident that we share a vision for the future."

Lithyia says, "We are enjoying a nice chat."

Lithyia nods.

Aphaedra grins.

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

Lithyia grins.

Shyair snorts!

Shyair quietly says, "Not one of them."

Perigourd says, speaking to Qalinor, "If so I'll make sure you have some sent to you."

Alenwyn appears less secure.

The musicians strike up an old romantic ballad.

Perigourd smiles at Qalinor.

Agathilea says, speaking to Aphaedra, "We have only just met, but I tell you...there is kinship of spirit there. Fair warning."

Alenwyn begins to breathe less deeply.

Agathilea winks at Aphaedra.

Malinya surveys the area.

Shyair quietly says, "I was taught pay it forward."

Alenwyn appears less confident.

Lithyia nods at Agathilea.

Lithyia says, "Indeed."

You quietly whisper to Aureliano, "I was a babbling mess But I was absolutely stumbling."

Master Dallanoth just arrived.

Lithyia smirks.

Agathilea grins at Traiva.

Aureliano nods slightly at Laermeluion.

Traiva laughs softly, trying to hide her amusement.

Aphaedra says, speaking to Lithyia, "After last night's party I thought I should make an appearance. Any excuse to wear a gown is a good one."

Malinya glances out.

Shyair quietly says, "So I buy supplies for people starting out."

Aphaedra grins at Agathilea.

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.)

Shyair leans on Dallanoth, giving him a companionable grin.

Aphaedra exclaims, speaking to Agathilea, "I ecourage it!"

Qalinor says, speaking to Perigourd, "I will never say no to that."

Qalinor grins.

Perigourd grins.

Agathilea begins chuckling at Aphaedra!

Aureliano whispers, "My eyes noted no such thing."

Perigourd nods knowingly.

Aphaedra nods at Dallanoth.

Lithyia says, "I no longer need excuses to overdress."

Jiarine just arrived. Wait, wasn't she here already?

Jiarine no longer bristles with energy.

Shyair quietly says, "This is my buddy people rumored about, Dallanoth."

Lithyia says, "I passed that point many years ago."

Lithyia laughs!

Agathilea grins at Lithyia.

Lithyia says, "But I must say...wearing all this..is heavy."

Tylanthriel begins chuckling at Esana!

Lithyia chuckles.

Gudbrand seems to lose some dexterity.

Traiva curtsies gracefully to Dallanoth.

Aphaedra says, speaking to Lithyia, "To be honest, me neither. I fight pirates in gowns. It throws them off."

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

Lithyia says, "And all the mistletoe I am carrying."

Lithyia chuckles.

Tylanthriel dances lightly across the dance floor with Esana.

Dallanoth says, "Eveing everyone."

Lithyia says, "For tomorrow."

You quietly whisper to Qalinor, "Thank you Your grace, I hope that vision grows and takes us far."

Shyair sways to and fro as she dances

Lithyia grins.

The mirror images surrounding Laermeluion undulate and grow stronger.

Laermeluion renews his songs.

Agathilea nods in greeting at Dallanoth.

Esana nods understandingly.

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Traiva graciously says, "Your ears must have been burning, Master. We were just discussing you."

Perigourd takes a drink from his thick warm eggnog.

Aphaedra curtsies to Alenwyn.

Shyair quietly says, "I told him to come here."

You curtsy to Qalinor.

Vyctus glances around the room.

Agathilea says, speaking pleasantly to Dallanoth, "Good evening, welcome."

Shyair quietly exclaims, "Plus there's holiday shopping!"

Qalinor inclines his head.

(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.

Tylanthriel swings Esana out then spins her right back into his arms.

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

Agathilea nods in agreement.

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

Shyair quietly says, "I'm a true social.... moth."

Tylanthriel bows to Esana.

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.

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

Lithyia chuckles.

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

Aphaedra grins.

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

The King dances with Agathilea

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

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

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Traiva.

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

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

Perigourd cocks his head at Traiva.

Lithyia says, "A short one."

Shyair says, speaking quietly to Dallanoth, "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."

Aphaedra says, speaking to Traiva, "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."

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

Qalinor says, speaking to Agathilea, "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!

Aureliano smiles as he watches the Legionnaire join his Sovereign for a dance.

Qalinor grabs Agathilea's hand.

Lithyia says, "I prefer to wear pants when I fight pirates."

Tylanthriel grins at Esana.

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.

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

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

Aphaedra says, speaking to Lithyia, "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 says, speaking to Lithyia, "Jay wears one. He is quite fond of it."

Aphaedra nods at Lithyia.

Lithyia nods at Aphaedra.

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

Aphaedra grins at Lithyia.

You hear very soft footsteps.

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Falvicar nuzzles his face against yours.

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.

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

You steal a kiss from Falvicar as you sway with him across the dance floor.

Vyctus says, speaking amusedly to Traiva, "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.

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

Agathilea tilts her head up.

Shyair says, speaking quietly to Traiva, "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.

Traiva says, speaking to Shyair, "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.

You quietly whisper to Aureliano, "Thank you for saying so and being such a wonderful support to both our cities."

(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 yours.

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.

Malinya says, "There was this one year..."

You draw Falvicar closer into your arms in a slow, romantic dance.

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

Malinya quickly says, "Nevermind."

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

Lithyia raises an eyebrow in Shyair's direction.

An eclipse of spectral moths flutters out from inside Shyair's cape, dropping a white-berried vert mistletoe sprig into her hand.

Lithyia laughs at Traiva!

Falvicar whispers, "I'm sorry my Love. My thoughts are getting carried away slightly. I wonder if he knows I'll be one of the three delegates."

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 draws you closer into his arms in a slow, romantic 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.

Tylanthriel whispers something to Esana.

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

Aphaedra asks, speaking to Shyair, "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.

Traiva begins chortling at Aphaedra.

Malinya rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Lithyia laughs at Aphaedra!

Malinya glances out.

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

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

Esana whispers something to Tylanthriel.

Agathilea says, speaking surprisedly to Qalinor, "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.

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

Falvicar leans over and whispers, "Hmm.. since I'm married to you.. that makes me a King.. yes my Queen?"

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

Agathilea glances down.

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

Falvicar grins impishly at you.

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."

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

You quietly whisper to Falvicar, "Only at home."

You tilt your head and toss 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.)

Tylanthriel whispers something to Esana.

(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.

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

Gentle melodies flow forth from the musicians' instruments.

Aureliano asks, speaking curiously to you, "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?"

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

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

Aphaedra says, speaking to Shyair, "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."

Esana whispers something to Tylanthriel.

Shyair shakes her head.

Aphaedra says, speaking to Shyair, "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. You say, speaking quietly to Aureliano, "We were visiting for the evening."

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

Tylanthriel whispers something to Esana.

Vyctus grins at Corlyne.

Tylanthriel grins at Esana.

The brilliant luminescence fades from around Gudbrand.

Uniana tilts her head up.

Corlyne chuckles.

Esana nods in agreement.

Dallanoth asks, speaking to Traiva, "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.)

You say, speaking quietly to Aureliano, "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?"

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

Lithyia laughs!

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

Traiva says, speaking to Dallanoth, "She is a dear friend."

Agathilea breathlessly exclaims, "Oh!"

Jignature squeak

You release 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.

Aureliano asks, speaking sincerely to you, "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.

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

The mirror images surrounding Laermeluion undulate and grow stronger.

Laermeluion renews his songs.

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.

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

Tylanthriel attempts to hum a merry little tune.

Dallanoth grins.

Perigourd says, speaking to Traiva, "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!"

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

You ask, speaking quietly to Falvicar, "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.

The silvery luminescence fades from around Gudbrand.

Dallanoth begins chuckling at Traiva!

Agathilea begins chuckling at Qalinor!

The bright luminescence fades from around Gudbrand.

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.

The glowing specks of energy surrounding Gudbrand suddenly shoot off in all directions, then quickly fade away.

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.)

Aphaedra says, speaking to Shyair, "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.

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

Lithyia nods at Aphaedra.

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.

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."

Corlyne whispers something to Uniana.

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

Qalinor says, speaking to Agathilea, "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.

You quietly whisper to Aureliano, "I think he is thinking about his plans.."

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

Agathilea inclines her head.

Traiva says, speaking to Shyair, "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.

Falvicar says, speaking in Elven to you, "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."

An eclipse of moths takes Shyair's vert mistletoe sprig from her, disappearing inside her cape.

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

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

Shyair grins at Dallanoth.

Shyair quietly says, "Nah."

Perigourd looks over at Dallanoth and shakes his head.

Aphaedra says, speaking to Shyair, "You just have more money than all of us, I bet."

Teveriel asks, speaking lightly to Vyctus, "Staying out of 'trouble'?"

Shyair quietly says, "But look you have lots of things to feed your rat."

Perigourd says, speaking to Dallanoth, "One cannot be so when in my company."

Perigourd chuckles.

Shyair quietly says, "I have one million."

Agathilea winks at Krystalena.

Vyctus glances at Corlyne.

Agathilea appears to be struggling to keep a straight face.

Traiva asks, speaking to Teveriel, "Would Vyctus ever stay out of trouble?"

Krystalena giggles at Agathilea.

Aphaedra asks, speaking to Qalinor, "My dear king, do you have an open dance card?"

Falvicar says, speaking in Elven to you, "In four or five days, I should have enough to strength to put the fourth cast of sanctification upon it."

Vyctus says, speaking to Teveriel, "With Corlyne here? I mean, I'm doing my best."

As the tune finishes, the gathered listeners applaud gently.

Dallanoth smiles at Perigourd.

Vyctus grins at Teveriel.

Teveriel gravely says, "It seems increasingly unlikely."

Dallanoth grins at Krystalena.

Teveriel glances over his shoulder at Traiva.

Shyair picks up a frosted blue glass bottle.

Shyair offers Dallanoth a frosted blue glass bottle.

Falvicar nods to you.

Teveriel smirks at Vyctus.

The King dances with Aphaedra

Qalinor says, speaking to Aphaedra, "I believe I do have an open spot."

Qalinor grabs Aphaedra's hand.

Shyair quietly says, "Have a drink."

Dallanoth accepts Shyair's blue glass bottle.

Aphaedra smiles at Qalinor.

Shyair quietly says, "From last nights party."

Agathilea says, speaking demurely to Qalinor, "Thank you, my Sovereign."

Dallanoth sniffs at his blue glass bottle.

Shyair quietly says, "Apparently there's another party tomorrow."

Malinya lets out a sigh of relief.

Traiva looks at Teveriel and hums.

Malinya glances out.

You say, speaking quietly to Aureliano, "We would be honored to join you."

Aphaedra exclaims, speaking to Qalinor, "Excellent!"

Aureliano inclines his head.

Agathilea smiles at Aphaedra.

Vyctus grins at Traiva.

Tylanthriel takes a drink from his blueberry juice.

Shyair quietly asks, "What's the party tomorrow for and where?"

Dallanoth takes a drink from his blue glass bottle.

The musicians strike up an old romantic ballad.

Agathilea smiles at Krystalena.

Vyctus says, speaking to Traiva, "I stay out of trouble sometimes."

Vyctus nods.

Teveriel leans on Uniana, resting his hand upon her shoulder.

Qalinor says, speaking to Aureliano, “Leave your dance card open High Legionnaire. I may just take next spot.”

Traiva says, speaking playfully to Teveriel, "One of my oddly varied skills is recognizing troublemakers."

Qalinor chuckles.

Aphaedra giggles at Qalinor.

Agathilea begins chuckling at Qalinor!

Traiva deadpans, speaking to Vyctus, "When you sleep?"

Uniana smirks at Aureliano.

Shyair holds out her hand and invites Dallanoth to dance.

Perigourd chuckles.

Shyair giggles.

Krystalena exclaims, "Oh yeah! Go for another stomp dance!"

Opalina and Falvicar invited to spend the night as guests

Aureliano says, speaking to you, "The High Priestess has been kind enough to offer to allow you to stay at the Ilynov manor as our guests."

Aphaedra asks, speaking to Qalinor, "He does look like he is a good dancer, doesn't he?"

Uniana leans against Teveriel, resting her head on his chest and turning her eyes to meet his.

Agathilea says, speaking to Aureliano, "I should like to see this dance."

Aureliano nods respectfully at Qalinor.

Vyctus says, speaking to Traiva, "No, not then."

Dallanoth says, speaking to Traiva, "Keep practicing then."

Agathilea nods at Aureliano.

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

Vyctus laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.

Corlyne surreptitiously glances at Vyctus.

Traiva raises her voice at Dallanoth in merry laughter.

Aureliano says, speaking to Qalinor, "I would not turn down the offer, sir."

Vyctus grins at Corlyne.

Corlyne chuckles.

Shyair dances lightly across the dance floor with Dallanoth.

Agathilea smiles.

Laermeluion chuckles.

You gasp.

Falvicar tilts his head toward Aureliano, examining him intently as the tip of one ear twitches briefly.

Shyair swings Dallanoth out then spins him right back into her arms.

Agathilea grins at Laermeluion.

As the tune finishes, the gathered listeners applaud gently.

You beam!

Dallanoth says, "Oh my."

Traiva pouts, "Are you finding fault with my show of skill so far?"

You see Legionnaire Esana Ilynov the High Priestess of House Vaalor.

She appears to be a Vaalor Elf.

She is average height and has a trim figure. She appears to be in the spring of life. She has silver-flecked mismatched ice blue and pear green eyes and soft, light honey brown skin. She has elbow-length, silky silver hair pulled back from her face and pinned with a crimson-accented gold barbed phoenix haircomb, leaving long finger-teased curls to spill down her back. She has a pair of small pointed ears and perfectly sculpted cheekbones, emphasizing a noble appearance.

She has a pair of white-feathered wings protruding from her back.

She has an intricate battle standards tattoo covering her right arm.

She is in good shape.

She is holding a lacquered niveous vellum box covered in a gilded wax seal in her right hand and a flute of rose-infused champagne in her left hand.

She is wearing a knotted quartet-chained gold back lariat necklace, a backless crimson aqilorn gown with two gold chains draped across one shoulder, an imperial Vaalor-crested red eahnor signet ring, and a pair of high-heeled gold aqilorn slippers beaded with crimson blazestars.

Shyair quietly says, "Ah well."

Teveriel dryly adds, "You, however, excel at both."

Traiva raises her voice in merry laughter.

Agathilea glances at Vyctus.

Shyair quietly says, "Imagine being so light footed you can't stomp or sweep anyone though."

Agathilea glances at Krystalena.

Shyair quietly says, "I need to learn new dance steps."

Corlyne whispers aloud, speaking to Teveriel, "The occasional flailing of arms."

Shyair quietly says, "Just got to watch and flow with the music to get the dances."

Uniana challenges, speaking quietly to Vyctus, "He said a *fine* swordsman."

Vyctus says, speaking to Uniana, "I'm fine."

Qalinor creates a strong base as Aureliano climbs atop him, eventually standing on the King's shoulders. with a loud grunt, they bring their fists to their chests and come to a complete stop.

Agathilea applauds Aureliano.

You giggle to yourself.

Aureliano smiles and returns the forearm bash, "It must be.. a century at least since I have done that, and the alcohol I drank then should have precluded me from remembering."

Traiva says, speaking softly to Agathilea, "It is very close to what I was thinking. Perhaps I shall work something similar for the Carnivale Concert."

Laermeluion applauds.

Aureliano begins chuckling at Orssus! Qalinor says, speaking to Aureliano, “I’m not sure I’ve ever done that without at least a couple ales in me.”

Aureliano responds, speaking to Qalinor, "At least a few are usually needed. This was a sober first for me. Thank you, sir."

Shyair quietly says, "I'm either warm and fuzzy with drink or stunned."

Falvicar grins at Qalinor.

You sway back and forth.

Agathilea comments, "Fine footwork by my Sovereign likely has purged my memory."

You take a deep breath, and look around with renewed vigor. It is good to be alive, and an adventurer in this land.

(Traiva places her hand over her heart, an overly dramatic wounded expression crossing her face.)

Agathilea glances at Qalinor.

Perigourd says, speaking to Aureliano, "Easy enough to correct the latter part."

Perigourd nods at Aureliano.

Dallanoth blinks.

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.

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.

Agathilea exclaims, speaking to Traiva, "Oh, I am sorry! I shall remedy this as soon as I can!"

Traiva says, speaking to Agathilea, "Revelia Carnivale has been the last two years in Koaratos. The Concert is, well, my pet project, after Bardfest ended."

Teveriel quips, "This beer is especially pungent, you will be well on your way after four or so."

Aureliano smirks at Teveriel.

Shyair picks up a squat dark brown bottle.

Krystalena giggles.

Corlyne says, speaking to Vyctus, "You'll have to learn how to spar eventually, it's similar movement."

Shyair drops a squat dark brown bottle.

Agathilea says, speaking to Traiva, "I see. I have been bound to my work in the Legion up until this year when I achieved the first of my goals. I shall make time to attend."

(Uniana takes a long drink of her rose-infused champagne, taking several sips sequentially.)

Traiva asks, speaking to Dallanoth, "Why not? It would be a respite from the normal maneuvers, no?"

Aphaedra takes a drink from her rose-infused champagne.

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

Corlyne says, speaking to Vyctus, "I apologized and purchased the herbs."

Krystalena exclaims, speaking to Qalinor, "Thank you for the new memory. That was great!"
