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

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. 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. ]

[Charming is so super oblivious, it's painful. He's confused and tired from fighting, so he just happens to look down RIGHT as Amara shoots Aurelius that nasty look (spot 10).]

What did he mean? Edain. Were you... Did you do something? Cast something?

[besmitten]

I didn't have to. [ she winds a finger up to his chin (bluff 23) ] You showed him all by yourself.

[uncease]

[He looks at her warily (SENSE MOTIVE 21 SO FUCKING CLOSE ARGH), but decides it's just his own disbelief that he could best a more experienced Knight. Perhaps he truly was meant to be here.]

Oh... [The corners of his mouth lift in a smile, because he is just so damned pleased with himself.]

[besmitten]

You're amazing. [ she leans closer, eyes tracing his face. ] I could have told you that.

[uncease]

[His pride in his own actions eventually wears off and he remembers the last time they saw each other. He's a little surprised that she still looks so happy to see him since he's been avoiding her.]

...Thanks. I, uh- Amara, about what happened before... [Being a good guy in battle means he's pretty much full to bursting with guilt right now. Finding words is still hard, so he looks at her, hoping that she will just get it.]

[besmitten]

You mean when we-- [ and she runs her hand across his chest, looking up at him through her eyelashes suggestively. ]

[uncease]

[gulp]

Yeah...yeah when we... [The combination of the heat of battle, the memories of that night, and that look she's giving him? Charming tries and fails to keep his blood from rushing from his brain and headed south. He fails hard. Painfully hard. (Will save crit fail)]

[besmitten]

[ jfc she just rolled a nat 20 charm check, i can't even write anything that sexy. but she is fully turning on the old bedroom eyes over here, as she presses up against him. ] Made love? [ her voice drops huskily to a whisper: ] I can't stop thinking about it either.

[uncease]

[He groans. It's quiet, but he actually groans because holy shit she is way too attractive and touching him and... Wow, all he can think about is what it felt like to have her under him before and...]

Yeah. [Wait. No. He didn't really think of it as making love, but... he's not thinking clearly, and it's the only syllable he can work out as he holds onto the hilt of his sword (which is not a metaphor.. for the record) tighter until his knuckles go white.]

How have you been? Since..? [Since it happened? Since he didn't call? Since he's been avoiding you for some time now......]

[besmitten]

I've missed you. I know your training requires your full attention, love, and yet...

Clearly you do not need as much of it as others here. [ she inclines her head in the direction edain left ]

[uncease]

Yeah, I've just been... busy. Really busy. [Bluff 19. He is only good at lying her her, for whatever reason. He doesn't move away, but he's trying to regain the ability to think clearly.]

I don't think... I mean I was just trying to get him to stop picking on that squire.

[besmitten]

[ wow she rolled a THREE. because WHY WOULD YOU EVER LIE TO HER *______* ]

How heroic of you.

[uncease]

No, it was just... [Alright, any guy likes his ego stroked... cough. He gives a little laugh and shakes his head.]

I guess it was sort of... knightly.

[besmitten]

I'm surprised Wynn hasn't made you a Dragon's Claw yet.

[uncease]

[Wow, he is super flattered right now. But he just laughs it off because he's too modest to go along with that.]

Pretty sure he doesn't jump the line from squire to Dragon's Claw very often.

[wynn]

Very rarely. [ oh hey, guess who's standing right in the doorway suddenly.

hi. ] Sir Charming. Might I have a word?

[uncease]

[oh. well.

Boner officially killed.]

Of course. [He gives Amara a quick, tight lipped smile before stepping around her to head towards Wynn.]

Something wrong, sir?

[wynn]

Let's discuss this somewhere more private.

[uncease]

Oh. [He glances around nervously.] Sure. Did you have somewhere in mind?

[wynn]

The Round Table room.

[uncease]

[oh shit.

He just mutely nods and heads that way without even a glance back at Amara because wow he is in trouble, huh?]

[wynn]

[ amara just watches him go with a sort of glare in wynn's general direction, and wynn says absolutely nothing as they trek down the stairs and down the long hallway... ]

[uncease]

[most awkward silent walk ever. and it sure gives charming time to wonder what in the world this is all about...]

[wynn]

[ wynn opens the secret hallway into the round table room, and marches past the multiple murals without looking back. when they enter the circular room, he slows a bit, but walks all the way to the far side, not stopping until he's facing his door. ]

Before I say anything, I'd like to give you an opportunity to reflect on your decisions.

[uncease]

Sir? [No he's really confused.]
