Academy of Drell, Part 7

[GnomeWorks]

Charlotte smiles back at Keith, then settles in against the rock.

I wonder what that was about...
You're going to lose him, that's what.
What?
He sees that you're being distant. He doesn't want to bother you... he may even be considering the same things you are.
That's absurd!
Is it?
...
If you don't act now, you'll lose him.
But what do I do?
Do I really need to say?
...no. No. I will not stoop to that. If that's what it would take to keep us together, than we split.
That's the end of that, then.
But there has to be another way.
Life is not easy.
Well, life doesn't throw anything at you that you can't handle, either.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger, eh?
...something like that. But you're getting off topic! There has to be another way to handle this situation.
You could tell him how you feel about it... but you'd probably lose him.
If I lose him because I tried to tell him that I'm questioning our relationship, then he needs to leave, anyway... I can't be with anyone that insecure.
Only because you're that insecure yourself.
...only on bad days.

Charlotte rises, dusts herself off, then walks over to where Keith is keeping watch, and sits herself down on the ground.

"Mind if I keep watch with you?" She asks, looking directly at him.

Charlotte rises, dusts herself off, then walks over to where Keith is keeping watch, and sits herself down on the ground.

"Mind if I keep watch with you?" She asks, looking directly at him.

Keith gances over his shoulder, "Oh, yeah, I could use the company, after the events of today, things went pretty badly, thankfully, Sildarin can run pretty fast."

Keith sighs, "But I think we should check out the tower, it may hold something useful. But that is planning for later," Keith places a hand on her shoulder, "I was really just worried about you, Charlotte. You are still quite dear to me."

Keith smiles, feeling more at ease, with the relative privacy.

"Oh yeah, I could use the company"? What kind of greeting is that?

Oh well. Run with it, girl...

"Yeah, things didn't go too well." Charlotte agrees, nodding. "Though they did turn out alright, in the end."

As Keith places his hand on her shoulder, she smiles, and puts her hand on his. "I'm glad to hear that, Keith... you're still important to me, too."

Ouch, that sounded corny...

 

[Tokiwong]

As Keith places his hand on her shoulder, she smiles, and puts her hand on his. "I'm glad to hear that, Keith... you're still important to me, too."

Keith nodded slowly and gave her a soft kiss on the lips, "It is common among my kind to find kindred spirits that we feel, a compulsion to stay with, and protect, a spiritual fire, that binds us. I find that rather ironic, considering your powers over fire, and how like a moth, I am drawn to that inner flame."

Poetry is not your strong point, Keith looks up to the stars and then around the area, "Now I am just waxing poetic."

"Now I am just waxing poetic."

Charlotte laughs.

"Oh, Keith," She says, "that's so very sweet of you to say things like that. I'm not as poetic as you, though... but I still feel the same way, towards you."

 

[Tokiwong]

Keith smiles, and places an arm around Charlotte and watches the treeline, enjoying the peace and solitude amidst the stress of the rescue operation, and the day's events.

Charlotte leans against Keith, following his gaze towards the tree line.

This little talk has laid all my worries to rest.
Are you certain?
He talked like he was very serious about us, and what's between us... yes, I'm certain.
...though you and I both know that you'll be questioning him again in a day or two.
No. Not anymore... I'm certain now. Nothing can shake that certainty now.
I vaguely remember you saying something like that before...
Quiet. Let me enjoy the evening while it lasts.

 

[Zhure]

OOC: Zhure, Can I redo Lyrique now that we have the updated Bard info? He would have much better skills armor and a bit else.

Yes, but wait until I purchase the material before you make changes. Next month. Be patient.

 

[Zhure]

Boromin: "Well, I feel all better, Sildarin, thanks for asking. The bear only knocked the wind outta me. I'm fit as a fiddle!"

So saying, Boromin walks around with vigor. "When are we going about our business next?"

 

[Jarval]

Mortimer smiles at Boromin's renewed health. "You're made of tougher stuff than most. I think the marks that bear left on you would have killed any of us."

"So, while the love-birds make up, I think we should plan what to do. We need to rest tonight, and I for one would favour returning to the tower we discovered. Another night in the open doesn't strike me as a sound idea, least of all with that giant possibly searching for us."
