"Oh please do! And after that, I believe I remember a highland joke I once heard while out hunting with an armsman I used to travel with!" Smiling warmly and motioning for another drink, enjoying the company immensely after so much solitude.

Toby quickly stilled Crispian's startled objection. "Certainly, go ahead, please." He sat next to Cris and listened intently.

Looking none to pleased that his profession was going to be sullied, Crispian settled down to listen, and hopefully be amused.

well, she had never been in the frontier nor the battleground before and so when she was invited she chose to follow.


They ended up in the realm of Midgard, twas bitter cold and frozen with horrible cursed creatures.


They ran quite awhile, and so the party she started in twas not the one she ended in.


There be a spy and twas a trap for the whole army of those huge feirce warriors lay in hiding awaiting for us to come and make the attempt.


She stood where they asked her to in the beginning of the forest and to heal and rez when needed.


The battle was firece and quick and within moments the only one left standing was Ari.


2 Large fericous warriors approached her and spoke to her.


One said he could not strike down such a vision and put away his weapon.

The other, a younger one said "Aye she be a beauty but by the Goddess she shall die."


Ari smiled and stood her ground waiting for death.

She turned to the one and spoke the ancient language of the Goddess and blessed them both.

He felled her in one clean shot.

The one warrior who had refused to kill her knelt down by the side and wept and begged her for a quest to cleasne his soul.


So Ari in spirit form gave him a quest.

She still keeps in contact once in awhile to make sure they be following their vow


the other one lost his plums IM afraid

OOC: And all this started because my poor befuddled brain forgot that Arie's wedding was Wed

Ayslyn smiled softly. "Suilebhain, my friend. You are an elf; a creature of the viel. You are married to a lass who has visions. How can you be so blind. There are magics, and magics; powers, and Powers. We come here when we need to, and leave when we will. Do you understand? There is no great magic ensnaring our minds. No magic other than the desire for good company, and a willingness to stop fighting for a time. You are right, this place is magical. But, not in the sinister way that you envision."

"heheh I knew no story about Ari could possible not have plum removal involved" he said taking a sip of his ale. "I'm begining to think she enjoys that a bit too much"

Carys blushes brightly


"Tis true she has a temper nerul, but never has she offended in such a mannor that did not deserve such censure"


Sighs softly afraid she has offened those at the table.


Not knowing what to do, she retreats into silence and slowly sips her honeyed mead.


She looks to Kyt hoping she can fix her error and bring the mirth back to the table

Both Crispian and Tobyas found themselves smiling over the tale, and the veiled reference of plums.


"I guess we must all be careful of whom we smite, for plums are too valuable to lose just any which way," Crispian said with a wink to Toby.

Carys blushes brighter and tries to hid a smile by chewing on her lower lip.


She steals a glance over at the new friends she has gotten to know to see if they really are not offended.


"I fear I give thee a bad impression of my eldest sister my Lords." she rushes to explain


"She hast been my protector since she be 9 and she has learned many things from others and she . . uh . . well when she came here from my homeland she is a wise woman and a great healer as well."


Smiles weakly at the 2 lords.

Tobyas gave a deep, honest chuckle. "Were his little brother here," he said as he elbowed Crispian, "he would fill you with a tale or two about the good Sir here that would leave you scandalized, no doubt." He smiled playfully. "Myself, I am beyond scandal from most folks."


Crispian laughed softly. "Oh, aye Jashen would serve me up right good, he would, lady."
