<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:25:01)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>Ahh I see you're awake beloved.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:25:59)</font> Shining Lord suddenly forgets the headache and springs up, throwing the priestess off him. <font color=#FF8C00><i>I... uh... Lili?<i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:26:13)</font> Aninira: <font color=#9020F0>"Eep!"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:26:43)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>i>Who else would it be beloved.</i></font> There is a hint of amusement over the bond<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:28:16)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=FF8C00><i>Um... I was just... surprised, love.</i></font> The bond is filled with embarrasment, panic and shame.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:28:32)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"Sorry!"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:29:07)</font> Aninira: <font color=#9020F0>"Would sir like me to continue the massage?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:29:31)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>I did try to contact you earlier, but you were sleeping rather soundly, beloved.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:31:06)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>Yeah... busy night, you know how it is..."</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:31:34)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"No... no... not now."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:32:07)</font> Aninira: <font color=#9020F0>"Very good, sir."</font> Aninira pauses. <font color=#9020F0>"Would sir like something to drink?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:32:38)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"Ehm... water... just plain... water."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:32:45)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>Ahh busy? What were you doing that kept you asleep for so long.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:34:03)</font> Aninira: <font color=#9020F0>"Very good, sir."</font> Aninira quietly moves over to the messenger tube hidden in one wall, and murmurs a request for a pitcher of cold water into it.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:34:24)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>Oh, you know... out drinking with Antonee... pretty ok guy actually</i> The bond can barely contain the thinly covered shame.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:34:50)</font> Aninira waits for a few moments, then takes the tray over to Shining. <font color=#9020F0>"Sir's water has arrived."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:37:02)</font> Shining Lord looks suprised at Aninira for a second not understanding. <font color=#FF8C00>"What?... Oh, yes... water."</font> He grabs a glass absentmindedly.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:37:15)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>You got that drunk Beloved? I find that... odd.</i></font> Again amusement fills the bond <font color=#><i>Was that all that happened?</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:40:01)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>Yes... he had a couple of bottles that needed drinking. I and Florviet were just up for the job, y'know. Pretty strong wine that...</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:41:12)</font> Aninira gracefully kneels as Shining takes the glass, holding the tray at exactly the right height for him to replace it.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:44:38)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>It must have been very strong wine beloved, tell me where did you drink all that wine?</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:47:41)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>Oh, over at Antonee's manse, where else?</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:48:10)</font> Shining Lord finishes the glass in a gulp placing it on the edge of the tray.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:48:59)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>Is that so, and where are you now?</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:50:13)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>Ah... no, we uh... went for a walk and uh... separated.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:50:26)</font> Shining Lord sits down again, leaning against the wall.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:50:56)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>So where are you now then?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:51:23)</font> Telarreann: <font color=#A120F0>"Is there something wrong, sir?"</font> The Priestess asks solicitously.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:52:53)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>I...</i></font> Shining stops, and bites his lip. Closing his eyes. <font color=#FF8C00><i>"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... he just... dropped me off here and I... I just... I couldn't... went along..."</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:53:35)</font> Telarreann slides out of the bed, and goes to hold Shining. <font color=#A120F0>"There, there. It's okay."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:54:26)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>So you are going to be honest with me."</i></font> The bond carries a gentle sense of affection. <font color=seagreen><i>I was wondering how long we were going to keep playing cat and mouse.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:58:30)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00><i>I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I tried... I wanted to stay true but things just...</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:58:48)</font> Shining Lord shrugs away from Telarreann<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 11:58:57)</font> Telarreann looks hurt. <font color=#A120F0>"Sir?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:00:18)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen><i>Shh.. its okay Beloved I'm not angry with you.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:00:42)</font> Solitary Talon walks in, holding Lili and Silveria by the hand. <font color=purple>"So, what do you think of the new me, Virtja?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:00:48)</font> Shining Lord:  <font color=#FF8C00><i>You... you're not? Even though there was two?"</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:01:34)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"I think that yo-"</font> Lilijana stops in mid sentence. <font color=seagreen><i>Two?</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:02:43)</font> Shining Lord looks up his eyes widening as he sees Solitary. <font color=#FF8C00>"You."</font> The word lacks the power he intended caused by the sudden wave of embarrasment of the situation, him seeing Lilijana and the realisation he might have said too much<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:03:41)</font> Lilijana walks over to shining and puts her arms round him<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:03:49)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Yes. I'm me."</font> Solitary looks puzzled. <font color=purple>"What are you doing here?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:04:20)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"I guess I should be flattered, but still.."</font> There is a trace of disapointment in her voice.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:04:21)</font> Telarreann scrambles away from the woman she presumes to be Shining's bondmate.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:04:46)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"I..."</font> Shining says trying to start talking to both Lilijana and Solitary before he runs out of words.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:05:41)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"...You?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:06:18)</font> Shining Lord unsecurely wraps his arms around his bondmate pressing her close.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:06:56)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"You what beloved?"</font> Lilijana holds her bondmate close glad for the phyiscal contact.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:07:53)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#>"I've missed you so much."</font> He whispers, burrying his face in her hair, his speech resonating over the bond<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:08:36)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Awww. How sweet."</font> Solitary murmurs to her lover.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:09:00)</font> Silveria smiles and pulls Solitary slightly away.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:09:00)</font> Lilijana:  <font color=seagreen><i>You say the sweetest things beloved.</i></font> The bond is flooded with Lilijana's feelings for Shining<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:10:39)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Yes, cousin?"</font> Solitary murmurs, accepting the tug.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:11:35)</font> Shining Lord:  <font color=#>"Thank you."</font> Shining is filled with relief.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:12:09)</font> Silveria: <font color=blue>"They are very happy, no?"</font>  She says softly.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:12:18)</font> Aninira and Telarreann watch Lilijana worriedly.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:12:51)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Yes, they do seem to be, don't they?"</font> The Zenith replies in equally soft tones.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:13:30)</font> Shining Lord sighs steeling himself. <font color=FF8C00><i>I'm sorry for how I acted in the Council, Love. I spoke with Antonee and he showed me what I'll have to do.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:13:58)</font> Lilijana: <font color=#>"So then beloved, what now?"</font> Lilijana reaches one hand up to caress his face<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:14:07)</font> Shining Lord straightens up, releasing Lilijana and turns to Solitary, ignoring his complete lack of clothes.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:14:35)</font> Solitary Talon raises an eyebrow. <font color=purple>"Don't you have any clothes, man?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:15:09)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"I don't exactly want to have you talking to me completely naked."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:15:57)</font> Silveria: <font color=blue>"No, let him,"</font> Silveria tells the young woman softly to her.  <font color=blue>"It shows his strength and determination."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:16:04)</font> Shining Lord resists the urge for a snarky retort and simply states what he wants said. <font color=#FF8C00>"I must apologize for my previous actions in the council, Solitary Talon. I spoke without a clear mind and I regret the words I said."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:18:23)</font> Lilijana:  <font color=seagreen>"Thank you beloved"</font> she thanks Shining, the bond carries her support and thanks.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:18:56)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Apology accepted."</font> Solitary Talon replies, inclining her head politely.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:22:43)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"Thank you..."</font> Shining bows his head in answer and grits his teeth. Eyes still on the floor he continues <font color=#FF8C00>"... however... You have treated my bondmate... with lacking respect during your time as her... mistress."</font> He closes his eyes. <font color=#FF8C00>"And I cannot accept further treatment along those lines, she... she is... she is my everything."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:23:44)</font> Solitary Talon nods. <font color=purple>"And I apologised to her in private for those actions."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:24:00)</font> Lilijana winces at his next words.  <font color=seagreen><i>Please don't push her too hard, beloved.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:26:34)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"I... I see..."</font> He raise his head, looking Solitary in the eyes, his own for once not wholly gold from the charm use. <font color=#FF8C00>"Thank you."</font> With his left hand he absentmindedly strokes Lilijana's hair  <font color=#FF8C00><i>I won't, that was all...</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:37:03)</font> Shining Lord remembers something from the discussions the night before with Antonee. <font color=#FF8C00>"Actually... there was one more thing..."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:37:13)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Yes?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:38:15)</font> Shining Lord looks away, clearly ashamed of his question. <font color=#FF8C00>"I heard from Antonee that you have a couple of First Age transport ships..."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:38:44)</font> Solitary Talon looks puzzled. <font color=purple>"I don't think I follow you?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:40:32)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"I... I have been away from my home for several years now and... I wish for my family to come here..."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:42:09)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Ah. I see."</font> Solitary Talon looks thoughtful. <font color=purple>"Assuming I granted your request, what would I get out of it?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:44:31)</font> Shining Lord looks up at Solitary again. <font color=#FF8C00>"I am the most powerful Sorcerer in all of creation, you need but name what you want."</font> He pauses and smiles, <font color=#FF8C00>"So let us begin at three castings."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:48:16)</font> Solitary Talon rolls her eyes. <font color=purple>"Three castings seems rather less than sufficient compared to Anshu's payment."</font> The teenager pauses. <font color=purple>"But I would suggest that we adjourn this discussion until you are are dressed, and we can conduct it in a more fitting setting."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:49:15)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"Mistress. May I be as bold as to request some private time with my bondsmate? I belive we have a few things to discuss."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:50:19)</font> Solitary Talon: <font color=purple>"Hmmmm. Granted. You may have one hour."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:51:42)</font> Lilijana: <font color=#>"Thank you mistress."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:51:54)</font> Shining Lord looks down at his bondmate, seemingly first now noticing his own lack of clothes... and his face grows redder as the heart starts pumping blood faster, raising the pressure in several body parts<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:54:31)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"Perhaps we should continue our talk elsewhere beloved."</font> Lilijana gently teases shining. <font color=seagreen>"By your leave mistress."</font> She pointedly ignores the two priestess.  <font color=seagreen><i>Perhaps beloved you can show me if you have learned something</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:55:29)</font> Telarreann: <font color=#A120F0>"Er. Does milady Lilijana wish Aninira or I to help milady with anything?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:56:52)</font> Solitary Talon waves a hand negligently. <font color=purple>"Why are you still here, Virtja?"</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:56:58)</font> Lilijana: <font color=seagreen>"I think not, Myself and my bondmate have much to discuss."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:57:23)</font> Telarreann: <font color=#A120F0>"Very well, milady."</font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:58:58)</font> Telarreann curtsies and leaves the room after gathering up the discarded clothing.<br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 12:59:27)</font> Shining Lord: <font color=#FF8C00>"Ah... yes... I think... my manse perhaps?"</font> he smiles taking in Lilijana close.  <font color=#FF8C00><i>I hope so at least.</i></font><br>
<font size="1">(26/10/09 13:02:25)</font> Shining Lord gathers essence around himself, channeling it into golden strands that twirl around the two.  <font color=#FF8C00><i>I've always wanted to try this application of this spell.</i></font><br>
