[ The castle can be a happening place, even on more mundane days. This log is for random interactions over the course of the first half of the month. Because not everyone is into parties, ok.

Also, following the promotion and squiring parties at the beginning of the month, Wynn will be taking any willing Knights back to Andres Isle to further reconstruction efforts there. There's plenty to be done - and an election to gear up for, to find out who will rule Andres Isle!

You are encouraged to start your own threads and tag around, and feel free to threadjack into any on-going threads that aren't specified as 'closed' in the subject lines since people can enter into rooms even in the middle of what's going on. WE ARE BIG ON THREAD-JACKING HERE. You can also specify 'single thread', meaning you want only one response for all participants, rather than multi-thread, where a number of different scenes/threads can be done as replies to the top prompt.]

[Killian has no idea who this bloke is, only that he's been spending a lot of time with Faye, who Killian's been distinctly not spending a lot of time with. He manages to catch him alone, filling in a grid with numbers in what looks like random order. Strange. Killian slams both hands down on the table and smiles at him in a sharp, unsettling way (intimidate 16).]

I thought you and me might have a chat about your intentions with Sir Chamberlain.

[Really, he just wants to know if she's okay. For whatever reason she's pushing the people who love her away, but not this lad. Killian wants to know why.]

[Jordan jumps as hands slam down on the table in front of him, causing his pencil to jump and drag across the paper. His eyes snap to Killian's face, sort of recognizing the other man (Wis 12) from seeing him in passing. Perhaps Faye had pointed him out at some point?

Unfortunately, Jordan is definitely not intimidated by the other man (Will save 23), having dealt with someone much more intimidating every day of his already very long life. He'd built up a tolerance to intimidation tactics. The thing that trips him up though? This is someone Faye knows, someone who knows her. And she is essentially forcing him to lie about their so-called relationship. He hated lying, but in this case he would have no choice about it. Her commands had made it so that he would lie, even if the words had to be forced out. He had to at least try and make it a believable lie, for both their sake.

His deep voice cracks as he answers Killian and he clears his throat, trying again.]

Uh, sure? I-I mean, I don't have any intentions with Faye. I mean- I do, but they're only...only good intentions. Faye's great. [Bluff...9

hahaha ha.

ha.]

[Yeah, Hook's sense motive 15 isn't buying any of that crap. He stands up, scowling, though it isn't specifically at Jordan. Anyone who's that obviously bad at lying clearly isn't much of a threat to her, but he's still worried.]

Something's wrong with her, and she won't let anyone close enough to know what.

[Jordan watches him warily, hand coming up to scratch the back of his head.] I'm... sorry?

So, do you think that I'm what's wrong with her? [S-so unsure.]

I don't know. But you're the only one she's talking to, near as I can tell. So I was hoping you could tell me.

I-I don't know, honestly. I mean...I don't really know what to say. She doesn't really tell me a lot of personal things, so if something is bothering her... [He trails off with a shrug, face apologetic.]

You came into her life right around the time she started acting strangely. [His smile is tight, strained. He wishes he still had his hook. It was always so good for intimidation.] You can see why I might be... curious as to what the connection might be.

Coincidence? [He gives Hook a half hunched shoulder shrug, one corner of his mouth lifting in a rueful smile. He shakes his head, knowing he wants more of an answer than that.]

Look, like I said, Faye hasn't told me anything, at least not about any of you. We just met on our part of the mission and hit it off. We're getting to know each other. [Bluff 12? He swallows thickly, eyes darting to the side nervously.

He is the worst liar ever.]

[Oh my god Killian got a nat 20 sense motive so ummmm yeah. He's not buying that. He squints, leaning forward. This isn't adding up, for so many reasons.]

What are you hiding from me? Out with it, boy.

[(Will Save: 23) Yeah, he actually clams up at that, crossing his arms and leaning back in his chair.]

I'm not hiding anything from you. If you want to know what's going on, I suggest you talk to Faye. Her secrets are hers to tell alone, not mine. [It's strange though because as tough as the words sound, there is something there in his eyes that fairly screams for what could be interpreted as a cry for help (bluff: 7). The look is gone just as quick as he averts his eyes, staring at a spot on the table between them.]

[His sense motive of 23 means he is calling BULLSHIT on that. He narrows his eyes, then grabs the boy by the shoulder.]

There's someone I need you to talk to.

[With his free hand (since hey, he has two of those now!), he texts Emma: where aye you?

...it's possible his autocorrect knows he's a pirate. Don't judge.]

Shadow Village. Why?

[That's... extremely inconvenient.]

Jordan knows something about what's been uo Wyeth Faye. But he keeps lying. Byt were in London.

Jesus christ. You've been checking up on her? Hook, she's a teenager. The more you try to corner her, the less she's going to want to talk to either of us.

[ Sigh. He means well. She knows he does, and he's a good man for it. She's just not sure it'll get them anywhere. ]

Does this need to be right now?

I don't kow. But I thind it might be important. He seems... Scared.

Well either you can handle it, or I can make it up there in a couple days when the next ship goes out. Oh and Hook? You have two hands now. Stop trying to text with one.

Damn. [He lets go of Jordan's shoulder and looks back at his phone before shooting off another text. With both hands!]

It doesn't help as much as you'd think!

[But he got all the letters that time, so maybe it does. He looks back up at Jordan.] Or not. Guess we're on our own.

[Yeah, Jordan is totally not going anywhere with Killian. Worst idea ever. He jerks out of the other mans grasp (Str 16), standing up and beginning to collect his books as he and Emma text. He's stacking up his notes as the conversation ends, a hunted look in his eyes.]

I have to go, I'm late.

For what? [Killian moves to block his way.] A rendezvous with Faye?

What? No! Not everything has to do with her! I've got my own stuff to do. [He just really needs to get the heck out of here before Killian becomes even more suspicious. Unfortunately for Jordan he doesn't really think about how bad his sudden need to get away is making him look (Wis 12).

He tries to dodge around the other man, but he is in such a hurry he trips over the legs of the chair, bowling into Killian and dropping his books and notes in the process. (Dex...Crit fail hahaha).]

[Oh my god, you are lucky Killian isn't nearly as pointy as he used to be. He catches Jordan easily (reflex 21) and rights him, glancing down at the pile of papers.]

You seem rather flustered, mate. I'd say I'm getting close, and you can't talk about it. [His mouth twists, and he raises an eyebrow.] Is she doing something to you?

[The notes are written in a neat, small script that would be cramped had it not been so tiny, like he was trying to fit as many words on a page as possible. From what Killian would be able to make out before he is snatching them up again would be comparisons of the Weave and the Shadow Weave, mostly philosophical musings about the two.

At Killian's words he pauses, hands stilled over the papers before working to gather them once more, head still bowed against the other mans inquiring gaze.]

Sh- [The word cuts off abruptly, his hand shooting to his throat, head shaking quickly back and forth. A breath later he's talking in a strained voice, straightening again.] Everything is fine, Faye is great.

You can't tell me, can you? [Sense motive 14 but let's be real it would've take a pretty low roll not to understand that motion.] Did she put some sort of spell on you?

NO! No, she wouldn't do that! [He scrambles the rest of his papers together, shoving them into one of his notebooks so they're sticking out every which way. As he meets Killian's gaze he shrugs, a strained smile comes to his face.]

Unless you're talking about the spell she put on my heart? [Yes. He actually just said that. You're welcome.]

Is that what this is? A love spell? [Probably a funnier joke if not for a) Faye being super magical and b) Amara.] You're not a very good liar, lad. Out with it.
