Tazlure

*hugs Vivi and chuckles*

silly girl. I am sorry you were depressed, but this actually made me chuckle and smile. Thank you for that.

I have been accused of many things, worst of all was that I could be very long-winded when a much shorter speech could work. Thing is, I know that and I choose to do things that way, not always being direct. And so, here is the thing. I try not to be sappy and mushy, but this time it will not work. ...

I am not a fan on any of the three options, but I do have a rather set opinion about one. Free-form just does not cut it. Sure it will let Tazlure live, but it will not be Tazlure. Simple as that. Now, let us start with option number 3. It is simple, quick and relatively painless in the long run. Su...

Perhaps in another man the refusal to ask her father for anything would have caused a reaction, but Niles did not move a single muscle, letting the relation between his employer and his daughter be their private thing. He nodded when she announced her readiness to speak with Figaro and made his way ...

Somehow the servant managed to both hold the woman’s pack and stand straight and almost at attention, nodding at her words. “Any special requests? Like non-feather pillows or the like?” He looked deathly serious as he asked that, the man obviously experienced in what he did. Agin he hesitated ...

The apology about the lack of her skills as masseuse were waved off and then came the question, with Macy tilting her head slightly to the side and hesitating a flicker or two. “Well, I don’t handle everything there. I don’t know everyone that has been arrested or…… But, it would be easy t...

The man arched an eyebrow at the word signore but said nothing, going with the flow and leaning closer to Aerin . he pretended to be shocked when she mentioned a certain kind of house and then added with a chuckle. “Honey, I was not looking for that kind of fun either. A woman for a night is easil...

There was just smile and perhaps a hint of mischief on Thomas’ face as Ashari explained how she would not be lost without the elder Crane, the old man glancing at his guards and nodding at the offer of food. “We won’t mind a bite. As for Guilhelme…… Sure, you could be friends, but he is bo...

While he may have looked disinterested, Harbuck followed Lir’s every step with his eyes, moving to the side and pulling an apron for himself, putting the strap round his neck and tying it at the small of his back. He did not don a mask, but he did pull out a small, stoppered jar out of his pocket ...

It was merely a delay, and since Thomas had no actual plans involving Silk, it was not much of a delay, more a missed chance to see where things were. The request was stored in the crime-lord’s mind, the only place where information was completely safe from prying eyes and they went on to another ...

Peaceful. That was the word that most people would use to describe the look on Renata’s face as she sank deeper into the sleep, not even shifting at her daughter’s kiss. Niles held the door open for the young woman and closed it without the sound behind them, a soft smile at his lips, as he glan...

With a nod Thomas nearly settled the matter completely, asking one final question a flicker later. “Would you like me to be present at the meeting or......” He had no idea what Ashari wanted to discuss with the likes of Silk, but if she wanted to discuss anything important, Thomas would like to ...

Exhausted, Renata barely managed to stay awake through the tale, her coughing fits subsiding as Gaelena spoke, though whether the sick woman felt the calming hand of the Mother the same way the healer did was not obvious. The scar where the stone dagger pierced the woman’s skin was still there, an...

Knowing that despite the massage doing her good, enduring under the finger of skilled masseuse for too long could do more harm than good, so Macy shifter from under Yelena’s fingers, pulling the shirt up over her shoulders once more. “Thank you. I feel much better now. Not perfect, but much, muc...

Had she been less tired and less exhausted Renata might have found the past tense in which Gaelena referred to her title a bit odd and perhaps disconcerting, but as it were the ailing woman was smiling, happy to hear of her daughter’s success, the handkerchief laying in her lap forgotten as she as...

Whether it was the Sergeant who efficiency made it possible, or someone else whom he asked for help, yet, everything was in place and ready by the time Lir came back from her little side-trip. She was escorted to the dungeons without delay, Marshall having left a not that she be permitted entry as n...

“I never said it will take a few days. I said it might take a few days, but it will likely happen in the next day.” Spreading his arms and smiling Thomas tried to lighten the mood a bit. “I have just returned to the city. And much of my organization is not in perfect shape anymore.” He shrug...

Such casual request to meet Silk brought reaction even from mildly disinterested warriors Tom had come with, though neither said anything, letting their employer do the talking. Thomas took his time, sipping the whiskey and savoring the taste, or likely buying himself some time to think. “I could ...

It was easy to shush Renata, the old woman lacking the energy to speak and thus giving up easily in most arguments. She did look a bit better, as the fact that her daughter was back registered more clearly on her mind. A shadow of a smile did its best to curl her lips upward, sighs and rasps pushing...

Despite being quite a bit more painful than usual, the massage was having the desired effect. The only real advantage a skillful masseuse had over Yelena was knowing exactly how the muscles worked and responded to pressure, and how much pressure to apply to ease the tension and still not cross the e...

It took Jenkins a almost half a flicker to come running, the prisoners behind him screaming and screeching while the jailor all but ignored them. He strained to hear what Lir had to say, eventually forced to shut the door behind him to give them some peace and quiet. Furrowing his brows the man trie...

Nodding, Tom confirmed that Ashari got it right from start, though he thought it wise to explain further. “Precisely. From what I managed to learn one had just arrived into the city while the other was of all things working for me in a way. Now, I am not certain how that relates to my standing wit...

Chuckling at Aerin’s words, the rogue glanced around the room and nodded at her suggestion. “As said before, this place is safer than many others, but let us speak of something else.” He smiled mysteriously at the girl’s innocent attempt to learn more, patting her hand. “I am sorry, darlin...

Groggily, Renata opened her eyes, her gaze taking a few flickers to focus, constant jostling while Gaelena moved her making even such a simple task take time. It was only after her daughter busied herself with the tub that she recognized her and with a weak, sleepy smile whispered. “ Lena , is tha...

Without opening the dried corpses, there was no way to see if the men’s insides were as dried up as their exteriors, their skins hard to the touch, much like a bark from a willow tree. To cut would require something very, very sharp and considerable effort simply to get the blade through and make ...
