Diplomatic Immunity: Tiberius and Claudia

[Rystil Arden]

*Claudia smiles as her eyes flutter open.*

'Mmm' she murmurs unintelligibly and then yawns.

"Is it time to get up already?"

 

[unleashed]

*Smiling at Claudia as her eyes open, Tiberius caresses her face softly.*

“I guess so, dear heart. Though if we’ve woken a little early, it just gives us some more time to ourselves, and I’d never say no to that,” he declares affectionately, enfolding her more tightly in his arms as he gazes lovingly into her eyes.

OOC: I don’t know if there’s a window in their room or not, so I guess Tiberius isn’t sure about the time.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: The window is in the next room out, so he can open the door to check the sun if he likes)

"Neither would I, my love. I'm going to go use the lavatory now though, if you don't mind--let me just slip into a robe or something."

 

[unleashed]

“Sure, that’ll give me a chance to check what time it is a little more precisely anyway.”

*Releasing his embrace to allow Claudia out, Tiberius hops out himself and slips some pants on, before going to check the sun.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*After Claudia heads out, Tiberius checks the time--it is just now reaching dawn, a beautiful sight as the sky is painted with the colours of the sunrise.*

 

[unleashed]

*Tiberius stands and enjoys the sunrise as he waits for Claudia to return, smiling as he thinks of her and their first night together in a long time.*

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Claudia comes back eventually, diving into Tiberius's arms and smiling up at the warm sunlight.*

"A beautiful morning..." then her smile softens somewhat, "And what a beautiful day this would have been for a wedding...I suppose duty calls us, doesn't it?"

 

[unleashed]

“Yes, I suppose it does...” Tiberius replies, holding Claudia close at the reminder they must soon return to searching for Ammon’s killer. “The way Orin was talking there may be a wedding yet... though I don’t much like the thought of that match after hearing him speak on the subject,” he adds with a frown.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes...the man seems a brute, not a proper husband at all," Claudia agrees.

(OOC: Hmm, one or both of us may need to bump the main thread--my intent was it to continue while this was going on :\)

 

[unleashed]

OOC: There you go, bumped.

“Well, enough of the outside world for the moment, I think we can manage a few more minutes to ourselves yet, as I can’t imagine all our fellow investigators waking at the crack of dawn,” Tiberius chuckles, quickly returning to happier thoughts. “So, would my lady like to take a bath, or do something else if she has a better idea, before we dress and head out to face the world again?”
