The Secret Scion

"We should be good to go at the library, I think, but thanks for asking Mel. You're already stretching yourself so thin with your important work, so you just keep at it but don't be afraid to take a break every now and then, okay?"

 

[Bront]

"Ok, you need to get out more anyway Rayni. Good luck you two."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Hey now, I get out a lot...to the library. And that's actually exactly where we're going, so I definitely know my way around," Rayni gives a bit of an ironic grin.

A knock is heard on the door, and Harolk appears behind it when you open. "Hello, drama queens!" says. "The formal invitation and program for the blade dance arrived just this morning. You may be interested in reading it"

Harolk lets a parchment on the table; it reads:

<<To Silas Ludor, Harolk Karrnathen, and guests,

"And the best part is, it says <and guests>. hey won´t kick us out there until we´re actually inside" he grins.

"Wow, that's neat. It's a shame I won't be able to go. Rayni and I had something come up, so we'll be busy then, but Bail's going, and I think he has a date. I think Sheny is going as well." Mel says.

"How did it go with your woman friend?" Mel asks.

OOC: Love the invite. 4th hour and 5 minutes after sunset: You should have your meat carved into 10 distinct and chewable pieces. You will be eating one of them every 5 minutes, and take approximately 45 seconds to chew. You will take 2 sips of wine between bites, and may mingle in the remaining time between them.

Bail walks into the lounge just as Harolk places the invitation on the table, he looks around the room and nods a greeting at Tondrek. Sidling up to Mel he whispers in her ear "I...um....what does the note say Mel?" he asks, his cheeks burning with....embarassment?

 

[Bront]

Mel looks around, as if Bail said nothing, "Well, since the rest of you are busy, why don't I just read this aloud for everyone?"

Mel non-chelantly reads aloud the note.

[sblock=Bail]*Knock Knock* "Bail, it's Mel, can I come in?" [/sblock]

 

[D20Dazza]

Walking to the table Bail picks up a glass of lemonade and downs it in one pull while he listens to Mel read the invitation aloud.

"Sounds like fun" Bail says with a grin "Umm when exactly is the fourth Zor of Barrakas? I'm afraid I'm not very good with dates. I live for the hear and the now" he says risking a quick glance at Mel.

[sblock=Mel]"I wonder when I'll get a night of uninterrupted sleep?" Bail says quietly as he stumbles out of bed and wraps a blanket around himself. Opening the door open he peers through the crack "Ahhh Mel" he stammers "Umm I'm not exactly ready for guests, can we ummm talk tomorrow?"[/sblock]

"Anything I can help with?" Mel says as she brings in a glass of lemonade for the three of them.

"Hmm? Maybe. You can help with the books, or something? I not go to Unimyversity much; they don't like me for some purpose."

 

[stonegod]

"oooh, blades and stuff. Maybe they'll try that folding technique I say once. Oh, or maybe their take a warforged arm and put on a rotating wand sheath with eternal wands for a maximized arcane utilization. Definitely." Tondrek's hands have begin their twitching agian, thinking about the possible optimizations. He even nods cheerily to the Big One has he greets him without spilling his drink. Much. Just a little.
