By this point, the half-elven form Xanadu and dwarf form Alisandra had arrived as well.</p><p></p><p>Grumki’s son, Tark, had grown over the years as well... Tess had warned everyone that he was nearly the size of a regular human, despite being only ten. And by the look in his eyes, Grumki’s eyes, and the half orc’s wife’s eyes, there would likely need to be a full banquet for them alone.</p><p></p><p>“What shall the strength of Kord consume today, thanks to your gracious hosting?” Grumki’s voice rumbled. Siabrey gave a laugh... <em>consume</em> truly was the correct word.</p><p></p><p>“I think theyre fixing a boar or two, and a sandhog,” Siabrey smiled at Luke. The Emperor gave her a look of hidden disgust at the idea, and Siabrey’s grin grew. “Sandhog ribs are the best, aren’t they, Luke?”</p><p></p><p>“Eeew,” he turned away, his nose wrinkled.</p><p></p><p>Elenya and Shaun, meanwhile, were trying to get the children set up at a smaller table in the dining room. The task was proving difficult; all the children tended towards being energetic, and their ‘activity’ was increased tenfold once they were around each other.</p><p></p><p>“Siabracius! No... no no honey!” Elenya said as she grabbed the fluttering three year old. Her eyes then flashed a look of disapproval at Shawn. “Young man!”</p><p></p><p>“I only dared him, I didn’t make him fly up there!” the young man protested. “He flew up there on his own!”</p><p></p><p>“C’mon!” Elenya grabbed the miscreant’s ear and pulled him towards the table, “Sit!” Her eyes flashed command, and he sat down quietly. The rest of the children were already sitting, and every minute Elenya turned away, flashes, tings and puffs of light shot between them. Valaron, Vintressa, Rose, Raven, Elaynaun all were making minor images behind Elenya’s back, and then snickering.</p><p></p><p>“There,” Elenya came back to the main table, “I think they’re sat... as long as food appears soon!” she gave a tired smile. She then flashed a look at Shaun, who had been talking to Luke for the past few minutes, “Next time, Shaun can sit them down!” she gave a slight scowl.</p><p></p><p>“What?” Shaun raised his arms in martyrdom, before turning back to Luke. “Alright. Luke, its ‘I ain’t likin’ this,’ not ‘I do not like this.’” The Emperor tried to repeat the phrase, but like most of the time, his tone and demeanor ruined it, and Shaun began his lesson again.</p><p></p><p>“Dinner is served!” Siabrey shouted to get everyone’s attention as the servants brought in the roasts, along with bowls of fruits, vegetables, and for the half-orcs seated at the end of the table, a boar specifically for them. Tark, at the children’s table, recieved a whole flank.</p><p></p><p>“So, Pell? Have any of Shaun’s lessons rubbed off on you?” Tess asked with a smile as everyone began to eat the fruit served as an appetizer.</p><p></p><p>“No!” Pell said abruptly, as if his pride had been hurt by the suggestion. Tess giggled.</p><p></p><p>“Good, you have more sense than an Emperor then,” she gave a grin and Luke.</p><p></p><p>“What?” Luke complained at the snickering looks at him. “Its not like I cause trouble with my bluntness,” he winked towards Siabrey.</p><p></p><p>“Rations?” she looked back, her face serious until she gave him a wink. “I don’t cause trouble, I solve hard issues,” she smiled towards everyone else, before looking at Suan again. “Luke, no more learning speech from Shaun! He’s corrupting your mind!”</p><p></p><p>“But...” Luke started to protest till she raised an eyebrow. Sensing the unspoken threat, he lowered his head. “Yes dear,” he barely said above his breath.</p><p></p><p>“Mighty impressive!” Tess laughed, as Siabrey gave Luke a disarming grin, a hand on his shoulder letting him know she was merely kidding... again. “You raised an eyebrow, and it broke your husband’s will to resist!”</p><p></p><p>“I could sure use that sometimes,” Elenya looked at Shaun. The rogue hadn’t caught on it was a joke, and even then she could hear him leaning over to Luke, whispering that Shaun could continue to teach him in secret. “She was joking, silly!” Elenya reached across the table and gently batted the rogue’s head.</p><p></p><p>“Tess, I’m sure every now and then you need to break down Pell some,” Siabrey looked at her friend jokingly.</p><p></p><p>“Actually, no,” Tess reached over and took the elf’s hand as he munched on a piece of watermelon. “Pell is a celestial after all,” she leaned over and rubbed noses with him, “he’s <em>extremely</em> well-behaved, unlike both of your husbands!”</p><p></p><p>“I am well behaved!” Shaun complained.</p><p></p><p>“No you’re not!” Elenya corrected.</p><p></p><p>“Luke, don’t even claim that,” Siabrey laughed as she put a finger in Luke’s face. Once again his mouth opened to protest, before clamping shut.</p><p></p><p>“Yes dear.”</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>After appetizers, first courses, and main courses, the adults made a cursory glance at the children, and saw the sight they didn’t expect... Rose and Raven both had their hands extended, and in the air between, a beautiful carousel with blue, pink, and yellow horses spun ‘round and ‘round. The other children giggled with delight... and Elenynaun extended her hands, adding a few riders to the little prestidigitation. Valaron looked on sourly, and a red dragon suddenly squashed the carousel... causing Vintressa to give her brother a healthy slug in the shoulder.</p><p></p><p>“Wait,” Shaun asked quietly, his voice in awe, “did Rose and Raven just...”</p><p></p><p>“I think they’re... playing with magic?” Elenya said shocked, as the muffled complaints among the children finally arose into a groans and gripes about Val’s interference, Vin’s slugging, and other disagreements. A few minutes later, Val, seeing he was outnumbered, got up from the table and wandered over to the adult side.</p><p></p><p>“Mom,” she said in his ‘half-asking, half-complaining’ voice, “can I go riding?”</p><p></p><p>“I wanna ride too!” Shawn shouted from the table, a chorus that all of the other children joined in quickly. Siabrey looked around at the other parents, who after a few seconds nodded their assent to try and get the complaining children out the door.</p><p></p><p>“Fine. You can ride.. <em>IF</em>,” Siabrey grabbed his shoulder, and held a finger at him, “you promise me a few things.”</p><p></p><p>“Yes, mom,” he sighed. She had a distinct feeling if he didn’t need her permission, he would have rolled his eyes.</p><p></p><p>“One. You will take some guardsmen with you, and you WILL NOT ride off away from them this time.” The young man started to protest, but then he nodded slightly sullenly. “Two, you are in charge of the others... there are young children with you. I expect you to act like a good little lord, and be a STEWARD to the others. You’ve been around here alot, they haven’t.” </p><p></p><p>“Yeah, mom, I will...” Valaron shifted uneasily.</p><p></p><p>“Three, I want you back here in three hours. It’ll be a few hours before sunset, and I want...”</p><p></p><p>“Two hours,” Tess interjected. “Elenyanaun needs to be back before her bedtime, otherwise,” Tess leaned towards Val, “she’ll get <em>cranky</em>, and you know how cranky babies can get?”</p><p></p><p>“Yes, Aunt Tess,” Val asked, before shifting again. “Mom, can we go now?”</p><p></p><p>“Yes. Go have fun!” Siabrey gave his head a rub. In a flash, the nine children were out the front two, two armed retainers puffing, struggling to keep up. Their joyful yelps and screeches echoed in the air, as a debate arose among them over what to play. Soon a simple game of tag was going. As they disappeared out the gate, Vintressa’s voice could be heard loudly complaining, “No fair! Siabracius can fly!”</p><p></p><p>“Honest,” Siabrey turned back to the others, “Valaron normally isn’t this stubborn or grouchy! I don’t know what got into him.”</p><p></p><p>“He’s ten... he’s showing the rumblings of the fights to come,” Tess said thoughtfully.</p><p></p><p>“Don’t remind me,” Luke chimed in with a groan. “Arguments, free-spiritedness, ladies of all sorts wanting in the palace...”</p><p></p><p>“Oh god... there are going to be boys soon fighting over Rose and Raven...” Shaun looked off in the distance. The 27 year old Emperor and 31 year old businessman shared the same looks of abject horror.</p><p></p><p>“Anyone so much as touches my Vintressa, I’m going to...” Luke’s eyes went wide, and it almost seemed like he was breathing faster already.

[QUOTE="Emperor Valerian, post: 1558487, member: 15043"] [b]Dinner... and Disaster[/b] Inquiries were made soon after by Luke, and within the hour, a large dinner was ready for everyone that had showed up. By this point, the half-elven form Xanadu and dwarf form Alisandra had arrived as well. Grumki’s son, Tark, had grown over the years as well... Tess had warned everyone that he was nearly the size of a regular human, despite being only ten. And by the look in his eyes, Grumki’s eyes, and the half orc’s wife’s eyes, there would likely need to be a full banquet for them alone. “What shall the strength of Kord consume today, thanks to your gracious hosting?” Grumki’s voice rumbled. Siabrey gave a laugh... [i]consume[/i] truly was the correct word. “I think theyre fixing a boar or two, and a sandhog,” Siabrey smiled at Luke.
