fionnadh na tine: So! Finn was up to no good, as he tended to be at times. He'd pulled the barn doors shut and padlocked them with a very heavy duty lock! Why had he done that? Practice, of course. He was crouched down in front of the barn doors,
fionnadh na tine: wearing a shirt for once, and he was fiddling with that lock, a very faint glow coming from his hands, because he was using his telekinetic toolkit to try and pick the lock! Had he checked to see if Maka was in her little workshop
fionnadh na tine: before he locked it? Of course. He didn't want her trapped in there if the place caught fire. In fact he'd made sure nobody was around to watch him picking at the lock...a good half hour ago. He was still working on it, and getting
fionnadh na tine: more and more irritated.
fionnadh na tine: Oh right. Rogue check!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
fionnadh na tine: (+5 quickness, +5 telekinetic toolkit = 23 = fail.)
Tesarik One: Well, Maka had been out picking up something she needed from town and had just arrived back and moved to the door of the bar and gave a pull. Locked. She frowned and glanced around to see if any of the stable hands were around, and
Tesarik One: then gave it another shake, "The fuck's the door locked? What are you two doing in there?" She spoke through the edge of the door into the barn, thinking those naughty stable boys were up to no good. "Pull your pants up and open the
Tesarik One: fuckin' door."
fionnadh na tine: He was outside! He hadn't locked himself in, that'd be silly.
Tesarik One: Oh!
Tesarik One: Ok repost. She'd been out picking up something she needed and had a few packages in her hand, and was heading for the barn. She also had news from Maria! Seeing Finn there messing with the lock on the barn, she approached and tilted
Tesarik One: her head as she looked down at him. "Evenin' Fionny, whatcha got going on? Someone lock you out of the barn?"
fionnadh na tine: He stood up quickly and that glow went out right away and he turned around, a look of sheer terror on his face. "I wasn't doin a fuckin thing! I was...oh..hey there, Macha." He sent her a sheepish grin, then gestured to the lock on
fionnadh na tine: the barn doors and nodded. "Mhm. Someone locked it up good. I was just seein if I might be able to break the lock, but it looks pretty tough."
Tesarik One: She stepped back one step when he reacted with such anger, staring a moment with widened eyes though it softened when he saw that it was just his Macha. She glanced to the lock, and then back to him and shrugged. "Well I'm sure
Tesarik One: Maria has spared no expense in a lock able to keep all the horses safe. Someone has to have a key, though. Those fuckin' stableboys ..." She frowned and adjusted the packs she was holding that she wanted to take to her little
Tesarik One: workshop.
fionnadh na tine: "Mhm, I'm sure that's what it is." He squinted at the stuff she was holding, then at her and patted the ground. "How 'bout you go look for someone who might have a key, and I'll watch your stuff?" Grin.
Tesarik One: "Oh, I can do that." She put her packages down beside him, and while she was leaning over slid her fingers all into his curly hair and tugged tightly, so tightly that his head was pulled back and she gave him an upside down kiss,
Tesarik One: then she skipped on over the courtyard towards the tap room to disappear into it. She'd find Maria, or Hana, or maybe one of those stable boys doing something naughty in the kitchen with Hana!
fionnadh na tine: He nodded and blinked, being all pulled and kissed! He kissed her right back, and watched her until she disappeared. Soon as she did he spun back towards the lock and cursed under his breath, producing those telekinetic tools once
fionnadh na tine: more and he started to work at opening the lock again. "Come on you fucker."
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
fionnadh na tine: Not nearly enough! He grabbed the lock and gave it a good tug and growled, then let's just say he tried once more before someone got back!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
fionnadh na tine: Getting worse and worse. He'd thoss the tools..and did, even though they just dispersed into nothing as soon as he 'let go' of them. He glared at his lock then. "You son of a bitch."
Tesarik One: Well, inside the tap room she'd talked to Maria herself and soon enough out she came with a big old keyring with what looked like a million fuckin keys on it. She headed over towards the barn with her fingers on the key Maria had
Tesarik One: said went with the barn. She jangled them and grinned, "Found them!" Well, not found but that's what she said anyway! She grabbed the lock and stuck the key in, turning it, and CLICK it came open and she was able to tug the barn
Tesarik One: doors open. She grabbed her packages and stepped in, heading for the door of her workshop. "You in the mood to take a lil walk, lover?"
fionnadh na tine: He cringed when she put the key into that lock, expecting
it to not work at all which would, of course, lead to even more questions,
and then..it did work! "The fuck?!" He almost clapped a hand over his moutht
hen, but didn't, he
fionnadh na tine: just coughed, as if it was a cough all along, then stared.
"Well then. Good. Problem fuckin' sorted." Nod. He picked up some packages so
she wouldn't have to carry them all and took them in! "That sounds like a
good idea."
Tesarik One: That key had a little skull face on the end of it, would open
just about anything! Wouldn't clear traps, but would open locks! "Huh?" She
stared at him a moment, furrowing her brow as he coughed and then headed for
the door of her
Tesarik One: workshop which she had her own key to, which was unlocked. She
piled her things she'd bought on a table and moved so he could bring the
stuff in too. "Good. We're going outside the gates. You need anything before
we go?"
fionnadh na tine: "Nothin'." He eyed the lock, then the key and huffed. He
looked to her then and followed in, putting what he'd carried on the table.
He froze a bit when she said they were going outside the gates. "A death
wish, which I don't have
fionnadh na tine: currently. I'll need my sword. Probably my dapper fucking
vest. That hook handed fella gave me a new one!" He started back for the
inne. He didn't get anything from the barn, which might lead one to wonder
why he'd been trying to
fionnadh na tine: get inside in the first place, but oh well! He was off
getting his things before she could ask!
Tesarik One: "Don't forget the dapper fucking vest, for the gods sake." She
smirked, and glanced over at her own dapper fucking vest that was on a peg on
the wall. She wouldn't wear hers, nor the heavy cloak - too hot, and she
didn't even seem
Tesarik One: to have her guns with her! But, she did have a new bracelet
around her wrist and if anyone looked closely that bracelet had two charms on
it in the shape of her guns, and one in the shape of an axe. Sneaky! She
headed outside, with
Tesarik One: a pack across one shoulder, and waited.
fionnadh na tine: Sneaky indeed! He grabbed up his vest and his sword,
putting the former on and the latter on his belt, cheerful workmen adorning
his vest now! Back down the stairs and out the door he went. Always helped to
have tools, never know
fionnadh na tine: when you might need to saw up a tree or smash someone's
face in with a hammer! Of course none of his tools were that big, he mostly
worked with tiny things after all! "Alright, lead the way my dear."
Tesarik One: "Your dapper fucking vest's the same fucking vest as mine..."
She grinned. "We're twins! Does it magically produce whatever tools you
need??" She danced around him a little, and then offered her arm to him so
they could head towards
Tesarik One: the Lake Gate, back through Greenlord Run as opposed to going
out the main gate he'd come in at.
fionnadh na tine: "It is not, it's fitted for me, not you!" He huffed at
that, but then grinned as well. "It does, it should be our shop uniform when
we're workin!" He watched her dancing around him, then took her arm and off
they went! He let out a
fionnadh na tine: little sigh of relief when he realized they weren't going
out the way he'd come in, and relaxed noticeably to boot. He really didn't
like that part of town. "Where are ya takin us anyway?"
Tesarik One: "Well... mine's fitted for my big tits so I guess they aren't
exactly the same..." She nodded, agreeing that it should be their uniform.
"To see a cottage Maria told me we could have if we want it. I went out there
today to make
Tesarik One: sure it wasn't complete rubbish... needs alittle work but
nothing we can't do."
fionnadh na tine: "A cottage, hm? Oo." He grinned at that, and picked up his
pace a little bit, even though he couldn't really go faster than her since he
had no idea where it was! "I'd actually prefer it be somethin' we can work
on, no fun to have a
fionnadh na tine: place that's all finished up already. We can give it a
little Shalottan flavor."
Tesarik One: "A cottage!" She agreed completely, she wanted something they
could work on together. "And, best part is, she said if we really like it we
can purchase it from her. It's quite lovely, has a crick runnin' behind the
house. Nobody's
Tesarik One: taken care of the garden in years, but it's got a wee stable
that could be turned into a workshop and we could build another stables." She
was so excited, there was a glimmer in her eyes and a grin on her face. Out
the gates they
Tesarik One: went, the lake on one side quite close. The mountains in the
distance ahead of them. The forest all around.
fionnadh na tine: "A garden, the hell would I do with a garden? You know
anything about gardening?" As far as he was concerned they should just rip it
out and put the workshop there. He'd rather build a workshop from the ground
up than convert a
fionnadh na tine: stable into one! Then they could build it to the exact
specifications they'd need! "Nice that it's got water nearby though, I like
that."
Tesarik One: "I'm a gods damned alchemist, I certainly hope I know a thing
or two about gardening! Fuckin herbs and shit!" She took a small road to the
right, they could still see the lake in the distance but they were going
further into the
Tesarik One: forest. Every now and again there were stone cottages with
thatched roofs and little gardens. Then she stopped at a little stone wall,
about to their knees, with a rotted wooden gate and pointed down the path to
a decent sized
Tesarik One: cottage made of stones and wood and with a thatched roof that
looked like it needed a bit of work. The barn was run down to all hell, the
thatching was missing in areas. And the yard was overgrown, there was a deer
on the side of
Tesarik One: the house munching away. But a creek ran along behind the
house, and there was plenty of room to build, and have a little garden.
fionnadh na tine: "Well yeah I can use fuckin herbs, I learned the same shit
you did in that respect. I don't know a gods damned thing about growing them
though." And he preferred to use that particular talent to make things that
went boom, not
fionnadh na tine: potions! He eyed the little cottages they passed,
wondering if theirs was similar to those, and then she stopped! He eyed the
gate and gave it a little nudge with his foot. "Well that'll certainly have
to go." He looked where she
fionnadh na tine: was pointing and then moved through the gate to go have a
closer look, waving his hands in the air and stomping with a shout when he
saw that deer. "Hey! Go eat somewhere else, you!"
OnlineHost: steIIar skies has entered the room.
Tesarik One: "Well my ma had a garden that I helped her with before they
fostered me out to learn craftin' so I know a wee bit." She shrugged, and
then stared at the cottage with a faraway look in her eyes like she could see
all the wonderful
OnlineHost: steIIar skies has left the room.
Tesarik One: times they'd have at that cottage when it was all fixed up,
even had a little smile on her face as she wrinkled her freckled nose. "Mmm.
I can smell the black powder and chicken stew now. What do you think, love of
my heart? Shall
Tesarik One: we keep lookin or take it? Wanna see inside?"
fionnadh na tine: "Ah. My parents may've had a garden, I can't remember.
They couldn't wait to get rid of me anyway, so I just learned what the crazy
uncle had to teach." Having successfully scared off the deer, he turned back
to her and then smiled.
fionnadh na tine: He could tell she already seemed to love the place, so
even if he didn't that didn't matter! He was perfectly happy with it,
however, so they'd both be good! "Yeah I suppose I better before we decide
for sure. Don't wanna take it,
fionnadh na tine: then find out it's infested with undead rats or
something."
Tesarik One: "Eww... that wouldn't be good. It needs to have a good solid
foundation! We can easily thatch the roof but if it's about to sink into the
ground, that can't be so easily fixed. And that barn looks worse than I
remembered, maybe we
Tesarik One: should just leave it for the animals and built us our own
workshop 'xactly how we want it." She fished for the key in the pocket of her
baggy pants and then stuck it in the door, turned it, then gave a violent
shove of her booted
Tesarik One: foot, "Sticks..." She'd already been inside! In fact, when they
walked into the main area with a stone floor and big old fireplace infested
with bats (they could smell the guano!) he'd see on one of the old panes of
glass a heart
Tesarik One: drawn in the dirt that said I love Fionn.
fionnadh na tine: "Yeah I was thinkin the same. Better to build one from the
ground up, or at least have one built to our specifications, rather'n put an
already existing building to use for it. Then we can add all sorts of things
that a workshop
fionnadh na tine: might find useful but other buildings wouldn't." Like a
fire extinguishing system! They could put a watertight lining in the ceiling,
fill it with water, then put in something to stab a hole in it over a fire if
they needed to, ha!
fionnadh na tine: He wrinkled his nose when they got inside. "Fuckin bats."
He looked over to the glass then and tilted his head. "Well fuck me, who put
that there?"
Tesarik One: "I dunno, maybe that fuckin' big titted lady that was looking
for you the other day." She grinned and gave him a wink, then began to move
around. There was some old furniture in there, very dirty and old, but
fixable. A bookshelf, a
Tesarik One: table in the kitchen area, some cupboards. There was a ladder
that went up to a big loft where an old straw stuffed mattress lay rotting on
the floor, and rats ran about. Not undead ones though! There was another
fireplace up there,
Tesarik One: it was more like a little room than an actual small loft.
fionnadh na tine: "There's only one fuckin' big titted lady I'm interested
in. Still have no idea who that was you're talkin' about." He winked right
back to her, and moved around a bit. "Well some of this might be salvagable."
He moved over to the
fionnadh na tine: loft and climbed up into it, cursing and ducking down a
bit when a rat went darting past him. He climbed up fully and scowled at the
mattress. "That's definitely gotta fuckin go. As do you." Said as he crouched
down and snatched a
fionnadh na tine: rat up by the tail, leaving it to squeal and squeak and
flail about as he held it at arm's length. "Down we go." He hopped down,
after making sure the way was clear and he wouldn't land on Maka, then took
the rat to the door and let
fionnadh na tine: it go. "Go make friends with that fuckin deer."
Tesarik One: She was in the kitchen, looking at the hearth there that had a
brick oven built into the hearth, and looked salvageable as well with all the
iron work to hang pots and such. Cupboards were opened, and she sneezed at
the dust. She
Tesarik One: came around the corner just in time to see him put the rat out
the door, and that made her laugh. "Well, despite the rats and the deer and
the bats and the fuckin' filth.... whatcha think?"
fionnadh na tine: "I think we should bribe Maria into coming here to clean
it out for us if she wants us to buy it from her. Don't people generally fix
up the places they intend to sell?" He snickered. "Or maybe steal a maid or
two from her for the
fionnadh na tine: cleanin'. I don't mind doin repairs, that part's fun.
Cleanin all this shit up though, that sounds less fun."
Tesarik One: "You don't worry 'bout the cleaning. Maria said she'd give us
money and help to clean it up and even fix it if we needed, and we don't have
to buy it till we live here and decide we want to so she's our landlord and
it's on her to
Tesarik One: keep it up for now. Course if we put all the work into it, I'm
sure we'll want to buy it - probably. You just figure out how you wanna build
the workshop and make the repairs. I'll get it cleaned and get some furniture
moved in.
Tesarik One: Deal?" She headed over to him, and stepped in close, so she
could slip her hand around the back of his neck and press her forehead to his
forehead. "We'll be a family."
fionnadh na tine: He nodded. "Damn right it's on her. I wanna at least
design the workshop though. 'course I'm no fuckin architect, so I suppose
I'll just come up with a written plan and find one who understand what I want
to do the proper designing.
fionnadh na tine: He nodded, then smiled when she moved in close, leaning
against her and sliding his arms around her. "Mhm. Sure you wanna get all
this close when I just had a fuckin rat in my hand?" He kissed her on the
forehead, then nuzzled his
fionnadh na tine: nose to hers. "And I couldn't be happier about bein a
family. If we make it nice enough it might even be suited for a kid."
Tesarik One: "Sounds good, we'll hire someone to make sure it's built to
stand." She put her other arm around his waist and danced a little bit in
their dirty room with him, just rocking side to side really and slowly
twirling. "Rats don't scare
Tesarik One: me, I think they're kinda cute. I want a fuckin goat though."
She blushed when he said something about a kid though, and kissed his lips
gently before speaking, "You askin me to marry you, Fionn?" she said so very
softly, her lips
Tesarik One: very nearly against his own.
fionnadh na tine: Aww, dancing in the filthy room! He sure wouldn't mind
that. "Of course. I already said I'd find you a fuckin goat, and you gotta
find the wolfhound. Maybe we should get a cat to keep away the rats, too.
Think a wolfhound might be
fionnadh na tine: overkill for rats, it can handle the deer." He snickered.
Then he returned her kiss and blinked at her question and grunted. "Eh? Well
I wasn't, just sayin' we might wind up havin a kid someday! Though now that
ya mention it, I
fionnadh na tine: don't suppose it'd be a bad idea. However you're not
getting' me proposing marriage in such a filthy room!"
Tesarik One: "I'm not having your fuckin kid unless you marry me! What do
you think I am?" Her cheeks flushed red, but only for a moment. "I'll find
the wolfhound, gonna get a pup so we can raise it up. And a barn cat or two
is never a bad idea
Tesarik One: to keep the rats away." She snickered, and ran her fingers that
were on his neck up and into his hair, caressing tenderly. "Well, you can
just propose to me whenever you damn well please and we'll see if I say
fuckin yes."
fionnadh na tine: "Well I didn't say we're havin a fuckin kid tomorrow, now
did I? Fuckin hell." He sent her a little glare, then leaned in a bit closer
with an 'mmm' when he felt her fingers in his hair. He kissed her lips again,
and nuzzled against
fionnadh na tine: her nose again 'cause that was all nice and sweet!
"Alright then. I'll propose when I'm damn well ready." Well now they were at
least ...sorta pre-engaged, since he made no secret that he was gonna
propose, ha! The secret would be
fionnadh na tine: when!
Tesarik One: "I never said you did!" She glared right back, and then they
were kissing awww. "Fine." She kissed along his jaw to his ear, and held him
tightly with her arms, as she whispered so low and naughty in his ear, "I
wouldn't be opposed
Tesarik One: at all to ya slamming me up against the wall, pulling my
trousers down and fuckin me where I stand, just so's you know." She nibbled
on his earlobe and gave it a little suck, then just quietly held him for a
few more minutes. She
Tesarik One: doubted he'd do what she offered, but she did like to tease!
fionnadh na tine: He shivered at her whisper and then narrowed his eyes a
little, though not at her since she was nibbling on his earlobe! He slid a
hand down to her ass and gave it a squeeze. "And how fun do you imagine
that'll remain when one of us
fionnadh na tine: slips and we both go tumbling into pile of rat shit, and
then bats come swooping out of the fireplace and get in our hair, hm?"
Tesarik One: "You just made that very sexy thought sound horrible, don't ya
know?" She snickered and wiggled her hips up against him when he squeezed her
fine little ass, and sighed happily. "Well, then, it's official. This is our
new home. I'll
Tesarik One: tell Maria tomorrow. I can set up in the barn here till we get
our workshop built. I can't really do what I want there in Maria's barn cause
I keep thinking I'm gonna burn the fuckin thing down or blow it up." She
kissed him again,
Tesarik One: then pulled away and went to open up the front door, and lean
against the doorframe to stare out with a smile. It was a nice view from the
front door, could see through the woods down to the lake. "Not quite the
ocean, but it's
Tesarik One: still deep water."
fionnadh na tine: "Well, someone had to. As much fun as it sounds, one must
always think of the terrible outcomes! Just like when makin our fancy
gewgaws. You wouldn't be fit to work on 'em if you weren't worried about
blowin somethin up." Nod. He
fionnadh na tine: returned that kiss, then moved along with her to the door,
sliding his arms around her and giving her a big hug from behind, and a few
kisses on the neck. He looked past her then towards the lake and nodded.
"I'll have to go swimmin
fionnadh na tine: round there before too long, lest I forget how to swim."
Tesarik One: "True enough, Fionn." She leaned back against him, one hand
curling behind her to rest on his hip, a little shiver ran down her spine
when he gave her the kisses on her neck. "Mmm, swimmin. Duck pond was fun,
but swimmin in that
Tesarik One: lake will be even better. I want our kids to be able to swim
like we learned, swimmin and sailin and all sorts of stuff. Huntin, fishin
too."
fionnadh na tine: He scoffed at that last bit. "And now who's jumpin the gun
with all this talk about kids? I only mentioned one kid." He gave her ass a
good little smack, then went back to hugging her and just..enjoying being
with her! He nuzzled
fionnadh na tine: into her hair and took in a good deep breath. "Mm, your
hair smells good."
Tesarik One: She turned her head and spoke sharply, not loudly just with a
bit of emotion, "If you're going to have one kid, then you might as well have
two!" But, she smirked and looked back across the way to the lake, wigglin a
little when he
Tesarik One: was nuzzling and sniffing her hair. "Thank you, sweetheart. So,
what would you like to do now? Shall we explore a bit more, or head back to
the inne and get us a nice tall cold glass of ale?"
fionnadh na tine: "Well why not fuckin five like my parents did, then we can
kick one of them out to go live with one of my brothers." Snapped right back
at her, ha! Too many kids was a bit of a sore subject for him, after all!
"Hm. That ale sounds
fionnadh na tine: grand, I think. I'd rather come back earlier in the day
and make a whole day of it if we're to explore."
Tesarik One: "We're not kicking any of our kids out!" Now they had all sorts
of kids in the plans! She spun around to face him, cupping his cheeks with
her hands and stared right at him, and said it softer and sweeter, "We aren't
kicking any of
OnlineHost: living among you has entered the room.
OnlineHost: living among you has left the room.
Tesarik One: our kids out, lover. If we have 'em we'll damn well raise every
last one of 'em. And if we only have one, I'll be happy as a lark about that
too." She kissed him gently, then fished out the key and moved to the side so
she could
Tesarik One: pull that damn door shut and lock it, when he got out of the
way. "To the inne it is."
fionnadh na tine: "Fuckin' right we're not. I don't care if we wind up with
ten of the little bastards, I'll wander 'round the streets of Navahla whorin'
myself out to make ends meet if I have to." Nod. He returned that kiss, then
stepped out so she
fionnadh na tine: could get the door shut and nodded with another smile,
offering his arm for her to take so they could walk back to the inne
together! "Love you, Macha. I'm so happy I caught up with ya."
Tesarik One: "Like fuck you will!" She shouted rather loudly at that,
apparently thinking of him whorin himself out got her temper flared. She
shoved that door so hard that it sank into place, and she locked it, stuck
the key in her pocket and
Tesarik One: turned around to take his arm, though she was still a little
hot about that whole suggestion. His words soothed her ruffled feathers
though and she gave him a loving smile and leaned her head on his shoulder,
"Love you, Fionn."
fionnadh na tine: Well if it was that or let one of his children starve he
certainly would! They were both good at what they did though. Assuming they
found enough people to actually buy the shit they made they should do just
fine and it'd never come
fionnadh na tine: to that! They weren't poor old farmers like his parents,
after all. He moved his hand up to brush his fingers into her hair a little.
"Good. I don't know if you know how happy that makes me, hearin' you say it."
Tesarik One: "Why didn't you ever tell me you fancied me, Fionn? Not even a
peep, not even a glance my way with a little lust in it, least not that I
saw. You just hid it all away and out I walked not even knowing the best
thing in the world was
Tesarik One: right there in front of me the whole damn time?" She smiled,
leaning lightly into the brush of her hair. They had headed out of the yard
and on the path to the main road, they weren't too far out but far enough
they could do their
Tesarik One: own thing without blowing up part of the city.
fionnadh na tine: "Oh I sent you glances with all manner of lust in 'em. You
just make me all flustered, even now, and I thought I was too young for ya. I
was waitin til I got a bit older before I made a move, and then when I was
old enough you were
fionnadh na tine: gone already." He shrugged a little, then blinked. "Wait a
minute, did you just say I'm the best thing in the world?"
Tesarik One: "You were scared of me weren't you?" She snickered and reached
over to slide her hand across his tummy for a moment just in a little caress,
as they kept walking. "I see, well that makes sense. I might have just
thought you were
Tesarik One: some young boy who didn't know what you were doin or thinkin."
She quieted for a moment, smiling to herself, then slid her eyes over to him
with a lil wink. "I did. Best fuckin thing in the whole world."
fionnadh na tine: "Of course I was scared of you! A little boy who'd only
known his fuckin uncle for years, and then the prettiest girl in all of
Shalott shows up! Who the fuck wouldn't be scared of that?" He gave her
another squeeze, then smiled
fionnadh na tine: when she reaffirmed that she had in fact said that. He
leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I don't know how that's possible, when
you're the best fuckin thing in the whole world. Worth every minute of crap I
slogged through to find
fionnadh na tine: ya."
Tesarik One: "Awww." She leaned her head against his shoulder and gave a
squeeze. "I figure everything happens for a reason, or else we'd be second
guessing every step we take every day. I wish I'd seen you, really seen you,
and I'd never have
Tesarik One: gotten on that fuckin pirate ship." She frowned, reaching up
with her free hand to rub between her eyes. "But it happened, can't change
it, and you travelin all that time I'm sure you had to grow up fast and take
care of yourself so
Tesarik One: not everything about it all was negative I s'pose. I got really
good at gunsmithing on the ship, even if some fucking demon marked my soul."
She stepped in closer to him as if he could save her from that horrid memory
she'd barely
Tesarik One: even spoke of to him. "S'ok though, isn't it? We're here now,
lovin each other, makin a family. Everythin's gonna work out for us, right?"
fionnadh na tine: "Of course you wouldn't have, you don't find red hair like
this on fuckin pirate ships. Or creepy devil eyes." He snickered. "Hey hey,
what happens if I find out what demon that was and fuckin kill it? Would that
get the mark off
fionnadh na tine: your soul, do ya think?" Scared as he was about thieves
and 'spooky bitches', he certainly seemed up to fighting a demon. But that
was for his Macha! The idea of protecting her was enough to override his
sense of self-preservation
fionnadh na tine: now that he'd finally found her! "I bet you're better with
guns than me, though I did learn a few things from that old fucker. And of
course everything's gonna work out."
Tesarik One: "Prob'ly not, it scarred my soul... I don't know if it can ever
be fixed. It did something to my soul... and oh Fionn I've never felt pain
like that before. Ripping right through my body into my soul, I was near dead
but it wouldn't
Tesarik One: kill me... marked it in such a way every demon of the hells and
any other hellish beasts know it. Maybe.. maybe before I get old and die,
we'll find a way to make it at least so's my soul can be at peace instead of
eternally
Tesarik One: tortured like I ws told will happen when they get hold of it."
That was the most she'd ever told anyone about what happened! She had gone
pale was talking about it and was even trembling a little. The more he slept
at her side, he'd
Tesarik One: also find that every now and again, she had horrible
nightmares. Not often, but when she did, they were bad. She smiled at the
thought of him taking care of that bastard demon for her, and squeezed him.
They got to the gate and
Tesarik One: headed through, close to the inne now.
fionnadh na tine: "Well it surely wouldn't hurt. I bet there's all sortsa
people that know a buncha soul shit that'll take care of it for ya. I'm not
gonna fuckin let you be eternally tortured, I can tell ya that much. I don't
give one dusty fuck if
fionnadh na tine: I have to crawl into the hells myself and kill every last
one of the bastards." He gave her a good squeeze when she was trembling, and
kissed her on the cheek. "Nothin to worry about, my love."
Tesarik One: She grinned and stole a kiss to his cheek. "And you'd do it
too, I know you would, and I adore you for it. All this talk of tortured
souls and demons is makign me fuckin thirsty though. Race you to the inne?"
She didn't even wait
Tesarik One: for him to say yea or nay, she took off running, and was all
fancy about it too! She was hopping over shit, climbing up walls and flipping
over barrels, and making her way towards the inne as acrobatically as she
could.
fionnadh na tine: "Oh now you don't wanna do that." He darted off, not
waiting either! He took off and then hopped onto a fence, had a jump and
grabbed onto a roof ledge, to run across the roofs! No way she'd be faster
getting over obstacles, he'd
fionnadh na tine: have no such trouble on the roofs, ha! He was giving it
his all too! She might be faster than him, so he was relying on his uncanny
ability to run at full speed right up to and along the very edges of those
roofs to jump to the next
fionnadh na tine: ones to give him an edge!
Tesarik One: Oh what a snake! He'd certainly make it faster than she could
over the rooftops! She glared at him a moment during her run, then just kept
on leaping and running, because hell it was fun! She knew she'd lose so she
was even more
Tesarik One: fancy in her leaps and flips and such. So, he'd certainly make
it before her, but she'd get there all flushed out and out of breath but
grinning. She ran up the barn for the final movement, and flipped and landed
with a thud, and
Tesarik One: spun around to head for the door of the tap room.
fionnadh na tine: Well, best make sure she'd win and he didn't do something
silly and fall to his doom!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
fionnadh na tine: Plenty good of an acrobatics check since he wasn't doing
anything too crazy! He leapt off the roof nearest the inne and cursed under
his breath, the drop being a bit further than he had anticipated. He hit the
ground with a grunt
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
fionnadh na tine: and rolled neatly, hopping back up to his feet and barely
losing his momentum, and darting right through the door.
Tesarik One: "Roof rat!" She called after him, though she was one herself!
They'd spent many a night running across the roofs of their hometown after
all. She headed in after him, out of breath, and headed to the bar for an
order of nut brown
Tesarik One: ale of course!
fionnadh na tine: He was out of breath, and he had a scrape on the heel of
his hand! "Fuck, that landing wasn't my best." He picked a bit of gravel out
of the scrape and tossed it into whatever served as a trash can in the inne,
then shook his hand
fionnadh na tine: out a bit. At least it wasn't bleeding! Just a little raw
and would bleed if he squeezed at it, but for now it was just fine. He
ordered himself a nut brown ale as well, then clinked his mug to hers when
they got them and had a
fionnadh na tine: drink.
Tesarik One: Clink!
fionnadh na tine: wearing a shirt for once, and he was fiddling with that lock, a very faint glow coming from his hands, because he was using his telekinetic toolkit to try and pick the lock! Had he checked to see if Maka was in her little workshop
fionnadh na tine: before he locked it? Of course. He didn't want her trapped in there if the place caught fire. In fact he'd made sure nobody was around to watch him picking at the lock...a good half hour ago. He was still working on it, and getting
fionnadh na tine: more and more irritated.
fionnadh na tine: Oh right. Rogue check!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 13
fionnadh na tine: (+5 quickness, +5 telekinetic toolkit = 23 = fail.)
Tesarik One: Well, Maka had been out picking up something she needed from town and had just arrived back and moved to the door of the bar and gave a pull. Locked. She frowned and glanced around to see if any of the stable hands were around, and
Tesarik One: then gave it another shake, "The fuck's the door locked? What are you two doing in there?" She spoke through the edge of the door into the barn, thinking those naughty stable boys were up to no good. "Pull your pants up and open the
Tesarik One: fuckin' door."
fionnadh na tine: He was outside! He hadn't locked himself in, that'd be silly.
Tesarik One: Oh!
Tesarik One: Ok repost. She'd been out picking up something she needed and had a few packages in her hand, and was heading for the barn. She also had news from Maria! Seeing Finn there messing with the lock on the barn, she approached and tilted
Tesarik One: her head as she looked down at him. "Evenin' Fionny, whatcha got going on? Someone lock you out of the barn?"
fionnadh na tine: He stood up quickly and that glow went out right away and he turned around, a look of sheer terror on his face. "I wasn't doin a fuckin thing! I was...oh..hey there, Macha." He sent her a sheepish grin, then gestured to the lock on
fionnadh na tine: the barn doors and nodded. "Mhm. Someone locked it up good. I was just seein if I might be able to break the lock, but it looks pretty tough."
Tesarik One: She stepped back one step when he reacted with such anger, staring a moment with widened eyes though it softened when he saw that it was just his Macha. She glanced to the lock, and then back to him and shrugged. "Well I'm sure
Tesarik One: Maria has spared no expense in a lock able to keep all the horses safe. Someone has to have a key, though. Those fuckin' stableboys ..." She frowned and adjusted the packs she was holding that she wanted to take to her little
Tesarik One: workshop.
fionnadh na tine: "Mhm, I'm sure that's what it is." He squinted at the stuff she was holding, then at her and patted the ground. "How 'bout you go look for someone who might have a key, and I'll watch your stuff?" Grin.
Tesarik One: "Oh, I can do that." She put her packages down beside him, and while she was leaning over slid her fingers all into his curly hair and tugged tightly, so tightly that his head was pulled back and she gave him an upside down kiss,
Tesarik One: then she skipped on over the courtyard towards the tap room to disappear into it. She'd find Maria, or Hana, or maybe one of those stable boys doing something naughty in the kitchen with Hana!
fionnadh na tine: He nodded and blinked, being all pulled and kissed! He kissed her right back, and watched her until she disappeared. Soon as she did he spun back towards the lock and cursed under his breath, producing those telekinetic tools once
fionnadh na tine: more and he started to work at opening the lock again. "Come on you fucker."
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 6
fionnadh na tine: Not nearly enough! He grabbed the lock and gave it a good tug and growled, then let's just say he tried once more before someone got back!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 2
fionnadh na tine: Getting worse and worse. He'd thoss the tools..and did, even though they just dispersed into nothing as soon as he 'let go' of them. He glared at his lock then. "You son of a bitch."
Tesarik One: Well, inside the tap room she'd talked to Maria herself and soon enough out she came with a big old keyring with what looked like a million fuckin keys on it. She headed over towards the barn with her fingers on the key Maria had
Tesarik One: said went with the barn. She jangled them and grinned, "Found them!" Well, not found but that's what she said anyway! She grabbed the lock and stuck the key in, turning it, and CLICK it came open and she was able to tug the barn
Tesarik One: doors open. She grabbed her packages and stepped in, heading for the door of her workshop. "You in the mood to take a lil walk, lover?"
fionnadh na tine: He cringed when she put the key into that lock, expecting
it to not work at all which would, of course, lead to even more questions,
and then..it did work! "The fuck?!" He almost clapped a hand over his moutht
hen, but didn't, he
fionnadh na tine: just coughed, as if it was a cough all along, then stared.
"Well then. Good. Problem fuckin' sorted." Nod. He picked up some packages so
she wouldn't have to carry them all and took them in! "That sounds like a
good idea."
Tesarik One: That key had a little skull face on the end of it, would open
just about anything! Wouldn't clear traps, but would open locks! "Huh?" She
stared at him a moment, furrowing her brow as he coughed and then headed for
the door of her
Tesarik One: workshop which she had her own key to, which was unlocked. She
piled her things she'd bought on a table and moved so he could bring the
stuff in too. "Good. We're going outside the gates. You need anything before
we go?"
fionnadh na tine: "Nothin'." He eyed the lock, then the key and huffed. He
looked to her then and followed in, putting what he'd carried on the table.
He froze a bit when she said they were going outside the gates. "A death
wish, which I don't have
fionnadh na tine: currently. I'll need my sword. Probably my dapper fucking
vest. That hook handed fella gave me a new one!" He started back for the
inne. He didn't get anything from the barn, which might lead one to wonder
why he'd been trying to
fionnadh na tine: get inside in the first place, but oh well! He was off
getting his things before she could ask!
Tesarik One: "Don't forget the dapper fucking vest, for the gods sake." She
smirked, and glanced over at her own dapper fucking vest that was on a peg on
the wall. She wouldn't wear hers, nor the heavy cloak - too hot, and she
didn't even seem
Tesarik One: to have her guns with her! But, she did have a new bracelet
around her wrist and if anyone looked closely that bracelet had two charms on
it in the shape of her guns, and one in the shape of an axe. Sneaky! She
headed outside, with
Tesarik One: a pack across one shoulder, and waited.
fionnadh na tine: Sneaky indeed! He grabbed up his vest and his sword,
putting the former on and the latter on his belt, cheerful workmen adorning
his vest now! Back down the stairs and out the door he went. Always helped to
have tools, never know
fionnadh na tine: when you might need to saw up a tree or smash someone's
face in with a hammer! Of course none of his tools were that big, he mostly
worked with tiny things after all! "Alright, lead the way my dear."
Tesarik One: "Your dapper fucking vest's the same fucking vest as mine..."
She grinned. "We're twins! Does it magically produce whatever tools you
need??" She danced around him a little, and then offered her arm to him so
they could head towards
Tesarik One: the Lake Gate, back through Greenlord Run as opposed to going
out the main gate he'd come in at.
fionnadh na tine: "It is not, it's fitted for me, not you!" He huffed at
that, but then grinned as well. "It does, it should be our shop uniform when
we're workin!" He watched her dancing around him, then took her arm and off
they went! He let out a
fionnadh na tine: little sigh of relief when he realized they weren't going
out the way he'd come in, and relaxed noticeably to boot. He really didn't
like that part of town. "Where are ya takin us anyway?"
Tesarik One: "Well... mine's fitted for my big tits so I guess they aren't
exactly the same..." She nodded, agreeing that it should be their uniform.
"To see a cottage Maria told me we could have if we want it. I went out there
today to make
Tesarik One: sure it wasn't complete rubbish... needs alittle work but
nothing we can't do."
fionnadh na tine: "A cottage, hm? Oo." He grinned at that, and picked up his
pace a little bit, even though he couldn't really go faster than her since he
had no idea where it was! "I'd actually prefer it be somethin' we can work
on, no fun to have a
fionnadh na tine: place that's all finished up already. We can give it a
little Shalottan flavor."
Tesarik One: "A cottage!" She agreed completely, she wanted something they
could work on together. "And, best part is, she said if we really like it we
can purchase it from her. It's quite lovely, has a crick runnin' behind the
house. Nobody's
Tesarik One: taken care of the garden in years, but it's got a wee stable
that could be turned into a workshop and we could build another stables." She
was so excited, there was a glimmer in her eyes and a grin on her face. Out
the gates they
Tesarik One: went, the lake on one side quite close. The mountains in the
distance ahead of them. The forest all around.
fionnadh na tine: "A garden, the hell would I do with a garden? You know
anything about gardening?" As far as he was concerned they should just rip it
out and put the workshop there. He'd rather build a workshop from the ground
up than convert a
fionnadh na tine: stable into one! Then they could build it to the exact
specifications they'd need! "Nice that it's got water nearby though, I like
that."
Tesarik One: "I'm a gods damned alchemist, I certainly hope I know a thing
or two about gardening! Fuckin herbs and shit!" She took a small road to the
right, they could still see the lake in the distance but they were going
further into the
Tesarik One: forest. Every now and again there were stone cottages with
thatched roofs and little gardens. Then she stopped at a little stone wall,
about to their knees, with a rotted wooden gate and pointed down the path to
a decent sized
Tesarik One: cottage made of stones and wood and with a thatched roof that
looked like it needed a bit of work. The barn was run down to all hell, the
thatching was missing in areas. And the yard was overgrown, there was a deer
on the side of
Tesarik One: the house munching away. But a creek ran along behind the
house, and there was plenty of room to build, and have a little garden.
fionnadh na tine: "Well yeah I can use fuckin herbs, I learned the same shit
you did in that respect. I don't know a gods damned thing about growing them
though." And he preferred to use that particular talent to make things that
went boom, not
fionnadh na tine: potions! He eyed the little cottages they passed,
wondering if theirs was similar to those, and then she stopped! He eyed the
gate and gave it a little nudge with his foot. "Well that'll certainly have
to go." He looked where she
fionnadh na tine: was pointing and then moved through the gate to go have a
closer look, waving his hands in the air and stomping with a shout when he
saw that deer. "Hey! Go eat somewhere else, you!"
OnlineHost: steIIar skies has entered the room.
Tesarik One: "Well my ma had a garden that I helped her with before they
fostered me out to learn craftin' so I know a wee bit." She shrugged, and
then stared at the cottage with a faraway look in her eyes like she could see
all the wonderful
OnlineHost: steIIar skies has left the room.
Tesarik One: times they'd have at that cottage when it was all fixed up,
even had a little smile on her face as she wrinkled her freckled nose. "Mmm.
I can smell the black powder and chicken stew now. What do you think, love of
my heart? Shall
Tesarik One: we keep lookin or take it? Wanna see inside?"
fionnadh na tine: "Ah. My parents may've had a garden, I can't remember.
They couldn't wait to get rid of me anyway, so I just learned what the crazy
uncle had to teach." Having successfully scared off the deer, he turned back
to her and then smiled.
fionnadh na tine: He could tell she already seemed to love the place, so
even if he didn't that didn't matter! He was perfectly happy with it,
however, so they'd both be good! "Yeah I suppose I better before we decide
for sure. Don't wanna take it,
fionnadh na tine: then find out it's infested with undead rats or
something."
Tesarik One: "Eww... that wouldn't be good. It needs to have a good solid
foundation! We can easily thatch the roof but if it's about to sink into the
ground, that can't be so easily fixed. And that barn looks worse than I
remembered, maybe we
Tesarik One: should just leave it for the animals and built us our own
workshop 'xactly how we want it." She fished for the key in the pocket of her
baggy pants and then stuck it in the door, turned it, then gave a violent
shove of her booted
Tesarik One: foot, "Sticks..." She'd already been inside! In fact, when they
walked into the main area with a stone floor and big old fireplace infested
with bats (they could smell the guano!) he'd see on one of the old panes of
glass a heart
Tesarik One: drawn in the dirt that said I love Fionn.
fionnadh na tine: "Yeah I was thinkin the same. Better to build one from the
ground up, or at least have one built to our specifications, rather'n put an
already existing building to use for it. Then we can add all sorts of things
that a workshop
fionnadh na tine: might find useful but other buildings wouldn't." Like a
fire extinguishing system! They could put a watertight lining in the ceiling,
fill it with water, then put in something to stab a hole in it over a fire if
they needed to, ha!
fionnadh na tine: He wrinkled his nose when they got inside. "Fuckin bats."
He looked over to the glass then and tilted his head. "Well fuck me, who put
that there?"
Tesarik One: "I dunno, maybe that fuckin' big titted lady that was looking
for you the other day." She grinned and gave him a wink, then began to move
around. There was some old furniture in there, very dirty and old, but
fixable. A bookshelf, a
Tesarik One: table in the kitchen area, some cupboards. There was a ladder
that went up to a big loft where an old straw stuffed mattress lay rotting on
the floor, and rats ran about. Not undead ones though! There was another
fireplace up there,
Tesarik One: it was more like a little room than an actual small loft.
fionnadh na tine: "There's only one fuckin' big titted lady I'm interested
in. Still have no idea who that was you're talkin' about." He winked right
back to her, and moved around a bit. "Well some of this might be salvagable."
He moved over to the
fionnadh na tine: loft and climbed up into it, cursing and ducking down a
bit when a rat went darting past him. He climbed up fully and scowled at the
mattress. "That's definitely gotta fuckin go. As do you." Said as he crouched
down and snatched a
fionnadh na tine: rat up by the tail, leaving it to squeal and squeak and
flail about as he held it at arm's length. "Down we go." He hopped down,
after making sure the way was clear and he wouldn't land on Maka, then took
the rat to the door and let
fionnadh na tine: it go. "Go make friends with that fuckin deer."
Tesarik One: She was in the kitchen, looking at the hearth there that had a
brick oven built into the hearth, and looked salvageable as well with all the
iron work to hang pots and such. Cupboards were opened, and she sneezed at
the dust. She
Tesarik One: came around the corner just in time to see him put the rat out
the door, and that made her laugh. "Well, despite the rats and the deer and
the bats and the fuckin' filth.... whatcha think?"
fionnadh na tine: "I think we should bribe Maria into coming here to clean
it out for us if she wants us to buy it from her. Don't people generally fix
up the places they intend to sell?" He snickered. "Or maybe steal a maid or
two from her for the
fionnadh na tine: cleanin'. I don't mind doin repairs, that part's fun.
Cleanin all this shit up though, that sounds less fun."
Tesarik One: "You don't worry 'bout the cleaning. Maria said she'd give us
money and help to clean it up and even fix it if we needed, and we don't have
to buy it till we live here and decide we want to so she's our landlord and
it's on her to
Tesarik One: keep it up for now. Course if we put all the work into it, I'm
sure we'll want to buy it - probably. You just figure out how you wanna build
the workshop and make the repairs. I'll get it cleaned and get some furniture
moved in.
Tesarik One: Deal?" She headed over to him, and stepped in close, so she
could slip her hand around the back of his neck and press her forehead to his
forehead. "We'll be a family."
fionnadh na tine: He nodded. "Damn right it's on her. I wanna at least
design the workshop though. 'course I'm no fuckin architect, so I suppose
I'll just come up with a written plan and find one who understand what I want
to do the proper designing.
fionnadh na tine: He nodded, then smiled when she moved in close, leaning
against her and sliding his arms around her. "Mhm. Sure you wanna get all
this close when I just had a fuckin rat in my hand?" He kissed her on the
forehead, then nuzzled his
fionnadh na tine: nose to hers. "And I couldn't be happier about bein a
family. If we make it nice enough it might even be suited for a kid."
Tesarik One: "Sounds good, we'll hire someone to make sure it's built to
stand." She put her other arm around his waist and danced a little bit in
their dirty room with him, just rocking side to side really and slowly
twirling. "Rats don't scare
Tesarik One: me, I think they're kinda cute. I want a fuckin goat though."
She blushed when he said something about a kid though, and kissed his lips
gently before speaking, "You askin me to marry you, Fionn?" she said so very
softly, her lips
Tesarik One: very nearly against his own.
fionnadh na tine: Aww, dancing in the filthy room! He sure wouldn't mind
that. "Of course. I already said I'd find you a fuckin goat, and you gotta
find the wolfhound. Maybe we should get a cat to keep away the rats, too.
Think a wolfhound might be
fionnadh na tine: overkill for rats, it can handle the deer." He snickered.
Then he returned her kiss and blinked at her question and grunted. "Eh? Well
I wasn't, just sayin' we might wind up havin a kid someday! Though now that
ya mention it, I
fionnadh na tine: don't suppose it'd be a bad idea. However you're not
getting' me proposing marriage in such a filthy room!"
Tesarik One: "I'm not having your fuckin kid unless you marry me! What do
you think I am?" Her cheeks flushed red, but only for a moment. "I'll find
the wolfhound, gonna get a pup so we can raise it up. And a barn cat or two
is never a bad idea
Tesarik One: to keep the rats away." She snickered, and ran her fingers that
were on his neck up and into his hair, caressing tenderly. "Well, you can
just propose to me whenever you damn well please and we'll see if I say
fuckin yes."
fionnadh na tine: "Well I didn't say we're havin a fuckin kid tomorrow, now
did I? Fuckin hell." He sent her a little glare, then leaned in a bit closer
with an 'mmm' when he felt her fingers in his hair. He kissed her lips again,
and nuzzled against
fionnadh na tine: her nose again 'cause that was all nice and sweet!
"Alright then. I'll propose when I'm damn well ready." Well now they were at
least ...sorta pre-engaged, since he made no secret that he was gonna
propose, ha! The secret would be
fionnadh na tine: when!
Tesarik One: "I never said you did!" She glared right back, and then they
were kissing awww. "Fine." She kissed along his jaw to his ear, and held him
tightly with her arms, as she whispered so low and naughty in his ear, "I
wouldn't be opposed
Tesarik One: at all to ya slamming me up against the wall, pulling my
trousers down and fuckin me where I stand, just so's you know." She nibbled
on his earlobe and gave it a little suck, then just quietly held him for a
few more minutes. She
Tesarik One: doubted he'd do what she offered, but she did like to tease!
fionnadh na tine: He shivered at her whisper and then narrowed his eyes a
little, though not at her since she was nibbling on his earlobe! He slid a
hand down to her ass and gave it a squeeze. "And how fun do you imagine
that'll remain when one of us
fionnadh na tine: slips and we both go tumbling into pile of rat shit, and
then bats come swooping out of the fireplace and get in our hair, hm?"
Tesarik One: "You just made that very sexy thought sound horrible, don't ya
know?" She snickered and wiggled her hips up against him when he squeezed her
fine little ass, and sighed happily. "Well, then, it's official. This is our
new home. I'll
Tesarik One: tell Maria tomorrow. I can set up in the barn here till we get
our workshop built. I can't really do what I want there in Maria's barn cause
I keep thinking I'm gonna burn the fuckin thing down or blow it up." She
kissed him again,
Tesarik One: then pulled away and went to open up the front door, and lean
against the doorframe to stare out with a smile. It was a nice view from the
front door, could see through the woods down to the lake. "Not quite the
ocean, but it's
Tesarik One: still deep water."
fionnadh na tine: "Well, someone had to. As much fun as it sounds, one must
always think of the terrible outcomes! Just like when makin our fancy
gewgaws. You wouldn't be fit to work on 'em if you weren't worried about
blowin somethin up." Nod. He
fionnadh na tine: returned that kiss, then moved along with her to the door,
sliding his arms around her and giving her a big hug from behind, and a few
kisses on the neck. He looked past her then towards the lake and nodded.
"I'll have to go swimmin
fionnadh na tine: round there before too long, lest I forget how to swim."
Tesarik One: "True enough, Fionn." She leaned back against him, one hand
curling behind her to rest on his hip, a little shiver ran down her spine
when he gave her the kisses on her neck. "Mmm, swimmin. Duck pond was fun,
but swimmin in that
Tesarik One: lake will be even better. I want our kids to be able to swim
like we learned, swimmin and sailin and all sorts of stuff. Huntin, fishin
too."
fionnadh na tine: He scoffed at that last bit. "And now who's jumpin the gun
with all this talk about kids? I only mentioned one kid." He gave her ass a
good little smack, then went back to hugging her and just..enjoying being
with her! He nuzzled
fionnadh na tine: into her hair and took in a good deep breath. "Mm, your
hair smells good."
Tesarik One: She turned her head and spoke sharply, not loudly just with a
bit of emotion, "If you're going to have one kid, then you might as well have
two!" But, she smirked and looked back across the way to the lake, wigglin a
little when he
Tesarik One: was nuzzling and sniffing her hair. "Thank you, sweetheart. So,
what would you like to do now? Shall we explore a bit more, or head back to
the inne and get us a nice tall cold glass of ale?"
fionnadh na tine: "Well why not fuckin five like my parents did, then we can
kick one of them out to go live with one of my brothers." Snapped right back
at her, ha! Too many kids was a bit of a sore subject for him, after all!
"Hm. That ale sounds
fionnadh na tine: grand, I think. I'd rather come back earlier in the day
and make a whole day of it if we're to explore."
Tesarik One: "We're not kicking any of our kids out!" Now they had all sorts
of kids in the plans! She spun around to face him, cupping his cheeks with
her hands and stared right at him, and said it softer and sweeter, "We aren't
kicking any of
OnlineHost: living among you has entered the room.
OnlineHost: living among you has left the room.
Tesarik One: our kids out, lover. If we have 'em we'll damn well raise every
last one of 'em. And if we only have one, I'll be happy as a lark about that
too." She kissed him gently, then fished out the key and moved to the side so
she could
Tesarik One: pull that damn door shut and lock it, when he got out of the
way. "To the inne it is."
fionnadh na tine: "Fuckin' right we're not. I don't care if we wind up with
ten of the little bastards, I'll wander 'round the streets of Navahla whorin'
myself out to make ends meet if I have to." Nod. He returned that kiss, then
stepped out so she
fionnadh na tine: could get the door shut and nodded with another smile,
offering his arm for her to take so they could walk back to the inne
together! "Love you, Macha. I'm so happy I caught up with ya."
Tesarik One: "Like fuck you will!" She shouted rather loudly at that,
apparently thinking of him whorin himself out got her temper flared. She
shoved that door so hard that it sank into place, and she locked it, stuck
the key in her pocket and
Tesarik One: turned around to take his arm, though she was still a little
hot about that whole suggestion. His words soothed her ruffled feathers
though and she gave him a loving smile and leaned her head on his shoulder,
"Love you, Fionn."
fionnadh na tine: Well if it was that or let one of his children starve he
certainly would! They were both good at what they did though. Assuming they
found enough people to actually buy the shit they made they should do just
fine and it'd never come
fionnadh na tine: to that! They weren't poor old farmers like his parents,
after all. He moved his hand up to brush his fingers into her hair a little.
"Good. I don't know if you know how happy that makes me, hearin' you say it."
Tesarik One: "Why didn't you ever tell me you fancied me, Fionn? Not even a
peep, not even a glance my way with a little lust in it, least not that I
saw. You just hid it all away and out I walked not even knowing the best
thing in the world was
Tesarik One: right there in front of me the whole damn time?" She smiled,
leaning lightly into the brush of her hair. They had headed out of the yard
and on the path to the main road, they weren't too far out but far enough
they could do their
Tesarik One: own thing without blowing up part of the city.
fionnadh na tine: "Oh I sent you glances with all manner of lust in 'em. You
just make me all flustered, even now, and I thought I was too young for ya. I
was waitin til I got a bit older before I made a move, and then when I was
old enough you were
fionnadh na tine: gone already." He shrugged a little, then blinked. "Wait a
minute, did you just say I'm the best thing in the world?"
Tesarik One: "You were scared of me weren't you?" She snickered and reached
over to slide her hand across his tummy for a moment just in a little caress,
as they kept walking. "I see, well that makes sense. I might have just
thought you were
Tesarik One: some young boy who didn't know what you were doin or thinkin."
She quieted for a moment, smiling to herself, then slid her eyes over to him
with a lil wink. "I did. Best fuckin thing in the whole world."
fionnadh na tine: "Of course I was scared of you! A little boy who'd only
known his fuckin uncle for years, and then the prettiest girl in all of
Shalott shows up! Who the fuck wouldn't be scared of that?" He gave her
another squeeze, then smiled
fionnadh na tine: when she reaffirmed that she had in fact said that. He
leaned over and kissed her cheek. "I don't know how that's possible, when
you're the best fuckin thing in the whole world. Worth every minute of crap I
slogged through to find
fionnadh na tine: ya."
Tesarik One: "Awww." She leaned her head against his shoulder and gave a
squeeze. "I figure everything happens for a reason, or else we'd be second
guessing every step we take every day. I wish I'd seen you, really seen you,
and I'd never have
Tesarik One: gotten on that fuckin pirate ship." She frowned, reaching up
with her free hand to rub between her eyes. "But it happened, can't change
it, and you travelin all that time I'm sure you had to grow up fast and take
care of yourself so
Tesarik One: not everything about it all was negative I s'pose. I got really
good at gunsmithing on the ship, even if some fucking demon marked my soul."
She stepped in closer to him as if he could save her from that horrid memory
she'd barely
Tesarik One: even spoke of to him. "S'ok though, isn't it? We're here now,
lovin each other, makin a family. Everythin's gonna work out for us, right?"
fionnadh na tine: "Of course you wouldn't have, you don't find red hair like
this on fuckin pirate ships. Or creepy devil eyes." He snickered. "Hey hey,
what happens if I find out what demon that was and fuckin kill it? Would that
get the mark off
fionnadh na tine: your soul, do ya think?" Scared as he was about thieves
and 'spooky bitches', he certainly seemed up to fighting a demon. But that
was for his Macha! The idea of protecting her was enough to override his
sense of self-preservation
fionnadh na tine: now that he'd finally found her! "I bet you're better with
guns than me, though I did learn a few things from that old fucker. And of
course everything's gonna work out."
Tesarik One: "Prob'ly not, it scarred my soul... I don't know if it can ever
be fixed. It did something to my soul... and oh Fionn I've never felt pain
like that before. Ripping right through my body into my soul, I was near dead
but it wouldn't
Tesarik One: kill me... marked it in such a way every demon of the hells and
any other hellish beasts know it. Maybe.. maybe before I get old and die,
we'll find a way to make it at least so's my soul can be at peace instead of
eternally
Tesarik One: tortured like I ws told will happen when they get hold of it."
That was the most she'd ever told anyone about what happened! She had gone
pale was talking about it and was even trembling a little. The more he slept
at her side, he'd
Tesarik One: also find that every now and again, she had horrible
nightmares. Not often, but when she did, they were bad. She smiled at the
thought of him taking care of that bastard demon for her, and squeezed him.
They got to the gate and
Tesarik One: headed through, close to the inne now.
fionnadh na tine: "Well it surely wouldn't hurt. I bet there's all sortsa
people that know a buncha soul shit that'll take care of it for ya. I'm not
gonna fuckin let you be eternally tortured, I can tell ya that much. I don't
give one dusty fuck if
fionnadh na tine: I have to crawl into the hells myself and kill every last
one of the bastards." He gave her a good squeeze when she was trembling, and
kissed her on the cheek. "Nothin to worry about, my love."
Tesarik One: She grinned and stole a kiss to his cheek. "And you'd do it
too, I know you would, and I adore you for it. All this talk of tortured
souls and demons is makign me fuckin thirsty though. Race you to the inne?"
She didn't even wait
Tesarik One: for him to say yea or nay, she took off running, and was all
fancy about it too! She was hopping over shit, climbing up walls and flipping
over barrels, and making her way towards the inne as acrobatically as she
could.
fionnadh na tine: "Oh now you don't wanna do that." He darted off, not
waiting either! He took off and then hopped onto a fence, had a jump and
grabbed onto a roof ledge, to run across the roofs! No way she'd be faster
getting over obstacles, he'd
fionnadh na tine: have no such trouble on the roofs, ha! He was giving it
his all too! She might be faster than him, so he was relying on his uncanny
ability to run at full speed right up to and along the very edges of those
roofs to jump to the next
fionnadh na tine: ones to give him an edge!
Tesarik One: Oh what a snake! He'd certainly make it faster than she could
over the rooftops! She glared at him a moment during her run, then just kept
on leaping and running, because hell it was fun! She knew she'd lose so she
was even more
Tesarik One: fancy in her leaps and flips and such. So, he'd certainly make
it before her, but she'd get there all flushed out and out of breath but
grinning. She ran up the barn for the final movement, and flipped and landed
with a thud, and
Tesarik One: spun around to head for the door of the tap room.
fionnadh na tine: Well, best make sure she'd win and he didn't do something
silly and fall to his doom!
OnlineHost: fionnadh na tine rolled 1 20-sided die: 14
fionnadh na tine: Plenty good of an acrobatics check since he wasn't doing
anything too crazy! He leapt off the roof nearest the inne and cursed under
his breath, the drop being a bit further than he had anticipated. He hit the
ground with a grunt
OnlineHost: Tesarik One rolled 1 20-sided die: 20
fionnadh na tine: and rolled neatly, hopping back up to his feet and barely
losing his momentum, and darting right through the door.
Tesarik One: "Roof rat!" She called after him, though she was one herself!
They'd spent many a night running across the roofs of their hometown after
all. She headed in after him, out of breath, and headed to the bar for an
order of nut brown
Tesarik One: ale of course!
fionnadh na tine: He was out of breath, and he had a scrape on the heel of
his hand! "Fuck, that landing wasn't my best." He picked a bit of gravel out
of the scrape and tossed it into whatever served as a trash can in the inne,
then shook his hand
fionnadh na tine: out a bit. At least it wasn't bleeding! Just a little raw
and would bleed if he squeezed at it, but for now it was just fine. He
ordered himself a nut brown ale as well, then clinked his mug to hers when
they got them and had a
fionnadh na tine: drink.
Tesarik One: Clink!
