AGELESS CAMPAIGN, Episode II, Part VI.

[Silver Moon]

Hassan, how large is the British force here now by your estimate?"

He replies, "If you give me five minutes I can give you far better than estimate. As they were allies with the King, he received a detailed accounting of the British allied forces in Egypt following the Battle of Kassassin three days ago.

He replies, "If you give me five minutes I can give you far better than estimate. As they were allies with the King, he received a detailed accounting of the British allied forces in Egypt following the Battle of Kassassin three days ago.

"Yes, I think I would like that information, reliably, before we start with the British."

"Yes, I think I would like that information, reliably, before we start with the British."

Colonel Hassan leaves the room. Once alone, the Princess turns to George and says, "Sir, thank you again for doing this. If it is not too bold I would like to ask you something personal, as it could direcly impact us both. My sister said that you would be well compensated for your services, but no specific price was mentioned and I am led to believe that your business enterprises provide you with sufficient monetary reimbursement to meet your needs. The other traditional payment for high meritorious service is marriage into the Royal family. Would you be seeking that as your compensation?"

OOC: Ok, now you are just trying to cause trouble That or get Amisi killed by Ruby

George smiles at Amisi."I think you have become a bit enamored with me princess, and I think it is partially out of a sense of gratitude. It is not uncommon for people to become infatuated with their rescuers. And were I not already engaged, I would leap at an opportunity to seek a marriage in the Royal family. And not to merely be in the Royal family, but to have so beautiful a woman as you as a bride. Some man will be truly lucky to have you. But I wish that you are able to marry for love as I will be doing. And I am terribly flattered that you would even consider me a fit man, worthy of such an honor." says George taking the princess's hand in his. "You deserve someone even better than me. Perhaps Colonel Hassan? He is a fine man who charged with me into the palace. But I would that you chose someone who you know, someone who you love. But for now Amisi, you have humbled me and I will always treasure you for it. However, I will speak of this to no one, for no one need know your desires but yourself." George bends over and kisses her hand. "You will find the right man, I am unfortunately not him, for he shall have the most beautiful woman in the world second only to my beloved fiancee." ends George straightening. George take a deep breathe looks to see that Amisi has composed herself and waits for Hassan's return.

George take a deep breathe looks to see that Amisi has composed herself and waits for Hassan's return.

A disappointed look crosses her face. She does compose herself quickly and then smiles at George. She then states, "I am aware that Miss West is designated to be your first wife, and it is wonderful that you love her. Our society does not impose the limitation of only one spouse. I would be honored to be your second wife. I am fifteen summers old and your physicians can verify that I have never been with a man. I know that I can make you happy Sir, the women in my father's harem have given me personal instruction in how to please a man. You will grow to love me too."

OOC: Ok, now you are just trying to cause trouble That or get Amisi killed by Ruby

OOC: Who me? Are you implying that Ruby doesn't share well?

He reaches into his coat pocket and takes out what looks to be a long flat rectangular envelope. He unfolds the paper to reveal a bar of dried oats-and-honey, 10-inches by 4-inches and a half-inch thick. He snaps it in half and hands the pieces to Abby saying "They are waiting patiently for their treats."

Abby smiled and took the offered treat. She moved forward steadily, but not too fast. Obviously these creatures were highly intelligent, but it's never a good idea to startle anything you've just met. "Ladies first," she said, holding it out to Nalu, before then offering the other half to Bay.

The female hippocampus impatiently pulls the food from Abby's hand and then lifts its head back, having the food drop into her mouth where she chomps it. The male smells it first, then bites off a small nibble which it eats, Abby still holding most of the food in her hand. While he is eating it his mate climbs back into the water and swims to the middle of the pond. He leans his head back towards Abby but instead of biting the remaining food he nuzzles his head against her hand and arm. He then takes the food and eats it, while nodding his head up and down." "I think he likes you," Callum comments.

"And I like him, handsome gent," she said. Once the food seemed to be well and truly down, she reached out and gently touched his muzzle. "You'd best get back to your lady before she gets upset with you."

He nuzzles her one more time, then heads into the water. When he reaches the center he rolls over and swims lazily on his back while she dives up and out the water with a series of water acrobatic moves.

Callum says, "They are just like people, very distinctive personalities. They are actually smarter than a lot of people I know, and far more intelligent than horses and other horse-like creatures such as the Pegasi of Gibraltar or the Unicorns of the Alps."
