It seems New Year's Eve was a little too much for me...

[whentheroserots]

You remember New Year's Eve?

[grand_finale]

Well... good. Good for you.

Uruk has an agreement with Aristophanes, so we should become good friends.

[basemettle]

Well -- no -- but -- perhaps I'm mistaken, and everyone wakes up with this kind of pounding, pounding head...

[basemettle]

I'm happy to be friends with whoever my dear family considers a friend.

[grand_finale]

[grins]

I am Triumph the Loyal. Uruk's Champion.

And you?

[basemettle]

Well, I'll need to speak with my siblings before I have a name...

[grand_finale]

Hm. . .

That's it?

[whentheroserots]

Well, at any rate, why don't we get you home so you can rest that poor head of yours?

I'm the Governess of Aristophanes. You can call me Briar.

[oneforaxum]

[ Well then. Maybe it's time to head back to Axum. ]

[oneforaxum]

[ Letting go. ]

If you need anything you can ask any Axum for Knife. They'll know where to find me.

[unexpectedboner]

Okay. Well, whenever you need, you can take me. Because we're family, right?

[he reaches for her hand, what a gentleman! and at present he smells really good! not like soap-good but more like something you would want to eat-good]

[oneforaxum]

Oh, I agree. Why don't we head somewhere quieter? I'm still happy to show you a sample.

[unexpectedboner]

[follows, surely nothing is behind this]

Okay. That'd be useful. No point for our families to not get along, right?

[unexpectedboner]

Would you like to know? I suppose if you ask nicely I can show you...

[this may be punctuated with an eyebrow waggle]

[oneforaxum]

I'm sure we can be friends!

[ Leading him to Axum's designated trading post. ]

[grand_finale]

[now she's just confused]

You really are stupid.

[unexpectedboner]

And you really just want to be swept up and cuddled like a small child. It is obvious no matter how many hats you wear.

[unexpectedboner]

Of course...Kn... Can I just call you 'Puppy'? It seems less...you know, stabby.

[oneforaxum]

I suppose I can allow it this once.

[ He's mostly joking. Hey look, it's their destination! ]

Good, no one here just now. Just the two of us.

[unexpectedboner]

Sure is. Secluded and, uh, quiet. Good for s--

...I mean, what did you want to talk about?

[He is obviously nervous, but if you are into that, score. Even if you are not into that, at least he smells pretty good. Not quite irresistible, but definitely like something worth getting the old appetite fired up for.]

[oneforaxum]

[ Yeah, screw talking when he can push Vetiver into the wall and kiss him. ]

[unexpectedboner]

[well

okay?

not quite kissing back, but...well, maybe a little, since it's only polite, but still kinda waiting for the other shoe to drop]
