Rowaini Musketeers: One For All and All For One

[Rystil Arden]

"I'd be happy to show you," Jacen hurriedly assures her, blushing a little. "And I didn't mean it like...well, like she said. I just meant, since we were talking about fencing...oh nevermind. You know what I mean. Just say when and where you want to meet then?"

"How about right after the first break between blocks of dances? Will that be okay, Jacen? We can go to the garden. I'm looking forward to seeing your sword forms!"

"Well Tommy, my family is from the south of here, a good bit in fact. Some of my family members have indeed distinguished themselves with a sword. I am not that good really, you see I am the smallest of all my brothers" says Tristan looking down at Tommy.

"Ah, I see, I see. I think Brother did say something about grabbing a few Musketeers for tonight's party. I didn't...I didn't expect you to be so...impressive I guess. Though I should have known. The elite of the King's Musketeers are among the best in the world. I hear that none can top a Musketeer in the blade save perhaps a Jurai Blademaster."

"You are kind Tommy, but here I fear we are boring our lovely company. Angelique I think I have heard but a single word from you, not that you could get one in between Tommy and I. So how it is that this event is grace by the presence of the DeChevres sisters this evening?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"We are here for the party, of course," Angelique replies, "But why are you here from so far away, Monsieur?"

 

[Fenris]

"We are here for the party, of course," Angelique replies, "But why are you here from so far away, Monsieur?"

"Ah, Mademoiselle Angelique, I meant how did the Dulirant's find the two beautiful DeChevres daughters to even invite? As to myself, I am indeed a far from home. I am in the region on His Majesty's buisness, ensuring the region is safe. Through word of mouth, the presence of three Musketeers spread and we found ourselves invited. Fortunately I had something appropriate to wear. And riding all over the countryside gave little hint that this land held such gems as those that stand before me."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Our father is the Baron Guy Dechevres, who rules nearby in this province, and so we received an invitation as well. Wow, keeping the lands safe? What dangers lurk in our beloved province?"

"How about right after the first break between blocks of dances? Will that be okay, Jacen? We can go to the garden. I'm looking forward to seeing your sword forms!"

"That'll be fine, my lady!" Jacen agrees happily. "I'll look for you."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That'll be fine, my lady!" Jacen agrees happily. "I'll look for you."

"Thank you, Jacen."

*Anne, who had been talking to Valmont, turns back to join in the conversation.*

"Well, now that your secret meeting plans are set, welcome back to the conversation. So Jacen, what does it feel like to be a new Musketeer? Are you excited?"

 

[unleashed]

Catching a glimpse of Hyacinthe out of the corner of his eye, as Zoe reveals he was a simple target of opportunity, he gestures for him to come over. “Are you still following me about Hyacinthe? Well, it seems I’m well taken care of here, so why don’t you go and take some time for yourself. Go on now, off with you ... before I change my mind,” Gabriel chuckles, before turning back to the conversation at hand.

"Simply a target of opportunity, I'm afraid, Gaby, baby. You were the first of the three strangers to come talk to us, though I admit I would have done it differently for the young lad--the way he moves makes me think maybe he's never been with a woman in the first place."

“Oh well, I was hoping that you’d singled me out specifically, but I suppose I’ll just have to accept my role as a simple target of opportunity,” he remarks with a laugh. “You’re probably right about Jacen though, that’s the young lad, as he’s usually a little reticent around women, though he seems to be doing well enough at the moment.”

“So Gerard, what makes you inestimable in the eyes of such beautiful ladies?” he asks with a grin.

 

[Shayuri]

"Thank you, Jacen."

*Anne, who had been talking to Valmont, turns back to join in the conversation.*

"Well, now that your secret meeting plans are set, welcome back to the conversation. So Jacen, what does it feel like to be a new Musketeer? Are you excited?"

Jacen grins, reliving that fateful moment in a quick flash. "It's...amazing," he replies. "It's like a dream. For a little while, I kept expecting them to take it back, like they'd accepted me by mistake or as a joke...but of course that's not how they do things. Still...for days afterwards, I just walked around with this big smile on my face. Since then it's been a lot of work, but it's all worth it."

"We've mostly had pretty routine missions so far...no big fights or anything...but we've only just started. But what about here? Anything going on?" He grins and adds, "Any villagers disappearing in the dead of night?"
