[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

Gudbrand appears less confident and fearless.

Laermeluion raises an eyebrow.

Lithyia takes a bite of her dipped blueberries.

You see King Qalinor the Sovereign Commander of the Crimson Legion.

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.

Agathilea exclaims, speaking to Aphaedra, "Hello!"

(Teveriel leads Uniana arm-in-arm to the midst of the dance floor, the metallic tones of their aqilorn garments shimmering in the ambient light.)

Traiva turns to face Shyair.

Aphaedra says, "Qal Greetings, King Qalinor."

Traiva exclaims, speaking eagerly to Shyair, "Do tell!"

Aphaedra's cheeks flush with a soft shade of apricot.

Aphaedra leans on Agathilea.

Agathilea nods encouragingly at Aphaedra.

Orssus begins chuckling at Krystalena!

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

Falvicar whispers, "But in shortness....  she said you picked up the dance of Vaalorians quite well and should teach me."

Esana nods at Tylanthriel.

Falvicar steals a kiss as he sways with you across the dance floor.

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.

Tylanthriel dances lightly across the dance floor with Esana.

Corlyne takes a drink from her rose-infused champagne.

Falvicar winks at Traiva.

Shyair quietly says, "I'm friends with the guild master and I was just a poor waif and he helped me become the rogue I am today as well as a few other friends and everyone thinks we have a thing."

Lithyia glances at Traiva.

Traiva asks, speaking innocently to Shyair, "Is that not how one gets ahead, over hard work and talent?"

Traiva grins impishly.

Gentle melodies flow forth from the musicians' instruments.

Agathilea appears to be struggling to keep a straight face as she glances at Traiva.

Lithyia chuckles.

Lithyia shakes her head.

Agathilea agrees with Lithyia.

Esana nods at Tylanthriel.

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.

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."

Uniana casually observes her surroundings.

Krystalena asks, speaking to Orssus, "Wouldn't it be neat to see all of the men doing a big dance of some sort like a stomp dance?"

You quietly whisper to Falvicar, "Which one is the high priestess?"

Traiva gives a sigh of relief.

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.

Agathilea nods in agreement at Aphaedra.

Squire Legionnaire Gudbrand just went out.

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

Agathilea smiles at Uniana.

You say, speaking quietly to Esana, "You are most gracious High Priestess of House Vaalor."

Falvicar whispers, "I'm not sure offhand.. and hoping no strings or anything of that attached though I would implore there isn't any."

Tylanthriel takes a drink from his blueberry juice.

Krystalena says, "But I learn dances quickly."

Agathilea nods once at Krystalena.

Teveriel says, speaking to Vyctus, "There is trouble, and there is mischief."

Shyair quietly says, "Ah well."

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

Krystalena says, speaking to Traiva, "We'd have instant business."

Teveriel takes a drink from his rose-infused champagne.

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."

Tylanthriel says, speaking to Dallanoth, "Footstomping is something I believe we do well, although I am not certain how appreciated it would be."

Uniana says, speaking to Corlyne, "Have you plans for the Feast of the Immortals? We have a rather large party heading to Ardenai under Celothor's invitation and to see my cousin Lear for their Winternight celebration. You would be a most welcome addition."

Lithyia gawks at Aphaedra.

Agathilea glances at Krystalena.

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

Agathilea blushes a nice shade of pink.

Agathilea tilts her head down.

Aphaedra giggles.

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Uniana.

Shyair quietly says, "I don't think swep reps count."

Vyctus leans back a bit and folds his arms behind his head.

Lithyia begins chuckling at Aphaedra!

Corlyne asks, speaking jokingly to Uniana, "Are you inquiring so someone can keep an eye out on your other cousin?"

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

Dallanoth whispers something to Shyair.

Traiva says, speaking distractedly to Shyair, "He is a good dancer, I noticed."

'''Qalinor and Aureliano reverse direction turning back to the left their eyes focused forward in a piercing stare.'''

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

(Agathilea lightly taps her foot in time to the beat.)

A strolling band of musicians begins a sprightly dance tune.

Vyctus says, speaking to Teveriel, "Depends on the dance, I don't know the Vaalorian dances well, far more orderly and less chaotic than I tend to be."

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."

Agathilea says, speaking to Traiva, "It does.  Especially for those who fight with less magic or no magic."

Vyctus asks, speaking to Corlyne, "Occassional?"

Traiva nods slowly at Agathilea.

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

Vyctus grins at Uniana.

Agathilea says, speaking to Traiva, "There is strength in physical moves."

Agathilea smiles at Traiva.

Shyair snickers.

Uniana gazes heavenward.

As the tune finishes, the gathered listeners applaud gently.

Teveriel dismisses, "Mm, aesthetic differences aside--" He laughs quietly at Uniana's comment, briefly interrupting his train of thought. He takes a moment to recover. "--at any rate, footwork is key."

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

'''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.
'''
Traiva says, speaking softly to Agathilea, "That there is. It reminds me of the dances I taught to an associate of mine."

Shyair says, speaking quietly to Dallanoth, "But as the grandmaster you can literally sweep just about anyone off their feet."

Agathilea says, speaking to Traiva, "Empaths excel at such."

Uniana draws her hands together in a slow, deliberate clap.

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.”'''

Lithyia begins chuckling at Traiva!

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

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.

Vyctus says, speaking quietly to Corlyne, "I hope you never expect me to remember how to do a dance in unison..."

Agathilea smiles at Traiva.

The brilliant luminescence fades from around Dallanoth.

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