[daddywarden]

Thank you, Rook. You'll never know how much it means to me. Or maybe you do after everything we went through to get Assan's siblings back.

Assan says hi.

[spellblade]

Good to know it worked! I guess now we know for sure it does! Whatever else these rulers are, they keep their word.

I have some idea of what it means. You're welcome. Tell my little buddy I'll be around for some hugs soon.

[daddywarden]

It's nice to see that there are some rulers who do.

I will. You can bring Lucanis around too, I'm sure he'll be happy to see Assan as well.

[spellblade]

Isn't that the truth.

Speaking of Lucanis, do you think you could help me finish with getting the kitchen cleaned up and in working order? I was hoping to have it done by this evening.

[daddywarden]

Sure thing. I'm sure we can get another set of hands to come and help us too, if you want.

[spellblade]

Do said hands belong to a fellow redhead, by any chance?

[inspiteof]

Lucanis could hardly complain about their living conditions. He had plenty of room to work in the kitchen, and after a few trips to the market for missing supplies (the lighthouse hadn't come with more than one pot? Rude), he had enough to make a decent meal every night for the portion of the Veilguard that had ended up joining them.

After dinner, he and Rook cleaned up and were currently sitting with their post meal coffee and a small plate of hazelnut and dark chocolate covered biscuits. Lucanis set his cup down and leaned back.

"Thank you for helping me, Rook." He smiled. "I was thinking, if you're not needed elsewhere, you might join me down in the bath. I haven't had the chance to properly test the waters, as it were."

[spellblade]

Rook, who had definitely told herself two cookies ago that she was full and this was her last one, polished off the final bite of what was actually her last one and savored the swallow of her coffee along with it. Raised her eyebrows over the cup and hummed in surprise as she drank; funny, she was gonna ask him the same thing. "I'd love to," she replied when mouth was free. "That is, if you relax for a moment and let me run it for us." Without giving him time to protest, she picked up both of their empty coffee mugs and rose, bent down to kiss his cheek. "I mean it. It's the least I can do."

[inspiteof]

She knew him well. Lucanis was absolutely going to protest, and was even moving to stand when she beat him to the punch; his ass firmly planted back into the chair as she kissed him.

"Mm. I have a feeling arguing against you would get me nowhere." He teased. "I purchased some soaps from the market — subtle, earthy fragrances I thought you might enjoy. I'll go and get them while you ready the bath."

[spellblade]

Rook started to insist she'd get them, because honestly, was this man just incapable of relaxing for five minutes, but she supposed compromise was an important part of any relationship. "Sounds exactly like something I'd enjoy, ma vhenan," she replied, smiling as she gave the coffee mugs a quick wash and set them with the rest of the drying dishes. "You're sweet to think of me." As he always was, it seemed, which was a feeling she wasn't used to at all. She dried her hands, leaned down to kiss the top of his head as she passed him on her way out of the kitchen. "Give me ten minutes or so then meet me down there? Should all be ready by then."

[inspiteof]

"I always am." He confirmed without even knowing what she had thought. Lucanis grasped her hand before she got too far, raised it to his lips, and laid a kiss against her knuckles before he let her wander off. "I will be there, amore."

Ten minutes to waste, then. Lucanis waited until she was out of sight before he stood up and headed up to their room. A small bundle of soaps and oils he picked up from the market opened and set out on the dresser. He could just take them all down and see which she liked more, but decided after a moment to simply take one of each — honeysuckle bath oil for the water, and a balsam and fir scented soap he fully intended to lather on her if given the chance. Lucanis took both down to the bath twelve minutes after they had parted, just to be safe, along with a couple of fluffy robes he may or may not have also purchased for them both.

Sorry, babe, spoiling is in his nature.

[spellblade]

The unwitting echoing of her own thoughts really did something to her. And for her. But her horniness could wait, he wasn't the only one in a mood to lavish attention on their lover.

The room itself was already warmer with the steam drifting off the surface of the running bathwater, and Rook was absently humming some melody she'd picked up a snatch of in a tavern. Her clothing already discarded and neatly folded in a corner and her hair swept up and lightly secured atop her head, to keep it from getting wet. She was, however, wrapped in a towel, just in case anyone else living in the house wandered in, her tits wouldn't be out whilst she was shooing them away.

"Well you came well prepared, didn't you," she quipped, turning off the water and padding across the floor to meet him with a kiss. Using the moment to deftly relieve him of the burdens he carried and setting them aside for now, because she needed his arms free to start undressing him.

Holiday Delivery!

[ He knows it isn't a magical blade of any sort but have a pretty dagger that he thought you might like. He has also included a small pair of handmade carved earrings that look like wings. She can guess why. ]

[spellblade]

They're beautiful, Davrin, thank you.

[daddywarden]

You're welcome, Rook.

text @gadriel no one is safe from him

[thecodexabides]

[So remember a while ago, when you volunteered to be Gadriel's normal-to-Astartes translator? Because HE remembers. ]

what is
'making a pass at' someone?

is it aggressive? how do I win.

[spellblade]

[ She does and she meant it bud, you're fine. ]

Good morning, Gadriel.

What's the context through this was presented to you? Did someone say that was something you were doing, did they say that's what they were doing, or?

[thecodexabides]

someone asked

if I was making a pass at them.

Do I need to apologize?

[spellblade]

Ah, okay. They thought you were flirting with them. Expressing an interest in them for companionship of some kind.

You don't need to apologize, but you could clarify your intentions, whatever they are.

[thecodexabides]

what kind of companionship

like.
allies?
because yes.

why do i have to be clear when this entire expression is not?

@ogreslayer

[likeiron]

Rook the worst thing ever happened

[spellblade]

What? What happened? Is everyone okay?

[likeiron]

Physically? Save for the bruises I gave them, everyone is fine.

Mentally? No. Imagine if you would a scenario where Davrin saw you buying lingerie and tell me how you would feel. Because it happened to me. With my brothers.

[spellblade]

[ Give her a second she just threw up in her mouth a little. ]

Violently ill, thank you for the mental image I had to suffer through.

Please tell me they at least did the decent thing, which was to immediately turn on heel walk away and pretend they didn't see you?

[likeiron]

NO ROOK

THEY BOUGHT THE LINGERIE FOR ME

AND GADRIEL WISHED ME WELL ON MY SEX

I want to die
