"Don't casters use shaped ice to form simulacrums of sorts?"

Hawkeye

Maggie answers. "Yes, in fact they do. Hmmm, I'd have to double-check, but these other ingredients could plausably be those included in a simulacrum. That could certianly make sense."

 

[DM_Matt]

Timrin nods and smiles warmly, motioning for two glasses and a corkscrew from a nearby servant.

As he lovingly opens the bottle as he talks, "This is Twilight milday. A rich and flavorful deep purple wine made mostly from twilight grapes... hence the name. This particular bottle is aged five years; 1367 was a particularly good year."

He offers her the cork and lets the bottle breathe for a moment.

"I swear you can almost smell the earth these grapes were grown in. It is beautiful Milady... rolling hills of a vibrant emerald green, deep black soil, a damp clinging fog lingering amonst the rows until the first rays of Lathander's light dispel them. Ahhh... simple... and beautiful", he finishes looking at her.

He pours two glasses and offers her one. He smells deeply of his, "I apologize for my foolish nostalgia Milady. This wine in particular reminds me of my childhood and my parents. Whenever I need a calm in the eye of the storm, this always seems to ground me."

He looks at the ground breifly and laughs at himself before once again meeting her gaze, somewhat embarassed. "Please, tell me what you think?"

Aleena tastes the wine, and appears to like it. "Your wine is as sweet as your words, Paladin."

Aleena tastes the wine, and appears to like it. "Your wine is as sweet as your words, Paladin."

"I am pleased you think so," he says sincerely.

"Despite what happened earlier today, my heart is light this evening. Would it be inappropriate of me if I asked you for a dance?"

 

[kirinke]

"The question is, for what purpose was the simulacrum supposed to be used for?" Alethia asked, troubled. "This smacks of a set-up. Perhaps we are meant to think that Laerel is an imposter, when in fact she could most likely have been bespelled at a time when she was most vulnerable. It would be exactly the sort of situation that our enemies would rejoice in. The only ones who can stop him, imprisioned or executed for treason, while they sit around laughing as we do their work for them."

Then we tred as carefully as one invited to a high feast in the Bronze Citadel. the demon replied dryly. For we do not want to be on the menu.

"I am pleased you think so," he says sincerely.

"Despite what happened earlier today, my heart is light this evening. Would it be inappropriate of me if I asked you for a dance?"

"Not at all."

 

[Hawkeye]

"Not at all."

OOC: Why do I get the feeling that Murdoch, Maggie, Alethia and I are playing Shaggy, Scooby and Velma to Sir Tim and Aleena's Fred sneaking off to get it on with Daphne? (Oh you know that is exactly what was going on in those cartoons!)

"Not at all."

Timrin smiles broadly and bows deeply. He extends an elbow and prepares to lead Lady Aleena unto the dance floor. The troubles of but a few hours ago seem far away.

 

[kirinke]

ooc:
And Timrin is getting lucky indeed.... At least until Maggie gets wind of it.

 

[DM_Matt]

Downstairs, Timrin and Aleena dance for a short while.

She tells him "The past few days have been good to our cause. It seems that, thanks to you, soon the Lords will choose me to succeed my father. When that happens, I hope to increase the role of you and your company even further than before. It is about time that the Hidden Shield received the full rights due a powerful House, and you the recognition as the swordarm of the city."

Just then, an attendant informs her that it is time to gather everyone for a long series of toasts. Timrin and Aleena are unaware of where the rest of the group went, but they'll need to be in their seats for this.
