[NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

She still has a little weight to lose, but it's likely she'll return to mostly looking as she did before. There's something about not needing to eat that makes it very easy to be thin.

Sakura giggles and gives him a peck on the lips. "A little exercise wouldn't hurt you. I know I'd like it." Whether she intends to participate is not clear. She'd probably enjoy watching, though.

[Murkus]

Showers

"You'd like to, or you'd like me to?" Adir asks, equally wry. He leans down to give her a smooch and then turns to start getting washed up. "Not that you need it..."

I'm not gonna begin to try and understand how a dryad's bodily functions work.

[horngeek]

It seems to do it whenever it pleases, m'lord, the as-of-yet unnamed peasant says uncertainly.

Cathy looks at him. "We'll get them back, don't worry."

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Magic. *wiggles fingers*

The dryad giggles and will help him out with washing. "Well... I'd like you to, but if you want I could join you." She suggests. "It could be fun that way."

[Murkus]

Showers

Wheels turn in Adir's head while he raises his arm to wash the underside. "Hey Sakura, are you still interested in dancing?" He looks over his shoulder at her. "That's exercise."

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Sakura's eyes light up. "Ooh, yes. Definitely." He's gone and gotten her excited. "I never even thought of anything like that. That's a great idea."

[Murkus]

Showers

"Well, I think we held off cuz of the baby, but now that she's not so... attached," Adir shrugs. He lowers his other arm and turns to smile at Sakura, eyebrow cocked. "You're really into it, huh?"

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Sakura nods, grinning from ear to ear. She'd put the idea of dancing out of her mind for the aforementioned reasons. But now that there's nothing holding her back...

"Dancing with you is so much fun. Ooh, I can't wait. This is going to be great." It'd be hard for her to be more enthusiastic at the moment.

[Murkus]

Showers

"Gods did I miss seeing you so happy," Adir says with a laugh, pouring out some shampoo to scrub into his hair. "Now we just gotta learn how."

[Morty]

Cathy looks at him. "We'll get them back, don't worry."

Thank you, m'lady. And, uh... in case that's important, our village's name is Mattock Hill and my name is Mścisław, Mścisław Rawicz.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Sakura laughs too and shrugs. "I guess we'll have to figure something out. Maybe there's someone who can help us learn." Not that she has any of idea where to begin.

[horngeek]

Cathy nods. "All right. I'll see if I can gather some people together."

And she goes to put up a message on the messageboard!

[Devixer]

[Front Gate]

"Can you tell me the location of Mattock Hill, Mścisław?" Boris says as Cathy leaves to get a message up.

[Morty]

[Front Gate]

It's located south of the Good League of Good place, m'lord, a couple miles. It's located on a hill. Quite hard to miss, not many other villages there, Mścisław explains.

((Oh, and this guy's last name is the same as Wenomir's, since I don't think many people remember. Whether or not your characters pick up on that is up to you.))

[horngeek]

Cathy posts this on the noticeboard:

Mścisław Rawicz seeking assistance to stop a Fey kidnapping people from village of Mattock Hill. Meet up in main room at 1800 today.

(For convenience sake, I'm assuming these events take place at about midday, if that's okay. I suppose post [Fey Meeting- Main Room] if you want your character to take part)

"Thank you," Boris says. "We shall gather a few members and deal with this situation to the best of our ability." He then leaves, intending to get some of his gear and head to the meeting later in the day.

[Murkus]

[Showers]

Sakura laughs too and shrugs. "I guess we'll have to figure something out. Maybe there's someone who can help us learn." Not that she has any of idea where to begin.

"A dance instructor? Well sure, but they cost money." Adir tilts his head back and forth, as if weighing options. "Which we still have lots of... yeah, that could work." He puts his hair under the showerhead, finally cleaning it up.

Changing the subject, Adir turns and rubs at the shadow of stubble on his face. "Think I need a shave?" He'd had a knife to do it with, but a razor knicks you less.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Sakura reaches up to caress his face. "Well, you know how I feel about that already." She grins wryly.

[Murkus]

Showers

Adir grins knowingly, turning and arching his back. "Yeah, I know. You're no fun." He looks over his shoulder teasingly. "Most girls don't mind a little fuzz." Laela probably doesn't.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

"Well you're not with most girls are you?" Sakura arches an eyebrow, daring him to disagree. It would work better if she wasn't grinning.

[Murkus]

Showers

"I bet Laela likes it," Adir says cheekily, slicking his hair back under the showerhead. He suddenly turns to try and put his arms around the dryad, holding her there. "So this girl might have to be less picky." The stag leans down to nuzzle her neck.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

"Eep, no!" Sakura protests, laughing. "Adiiir, that tickles!" She puts up a token resistance, but isn't really all that keen on escaping his grasp.

[Murkus]

Showers

Adir moves his mouth up to give her a proper kiss. "Mm. Normally I have to tell some bad jokes to get you laughing." He pecks his lady on the forehead, grinning like an idiot. He seems quite amused. "Maybe the stubble will stick around."

The stag slips one hand from around Sakura's waist and turns off the shower. "C'mon. I wanna go see our kid again." His grin broadens. "Our kid. Love the sound of that." He pulls the curtain aside and goes to get them both a towel.

[Gullara]

[Showers]

Sakura rolls her eyes exaggeratedly. She'll see to that stubble vanishing. She steps out of the shower with him and towels off. "Me too." She agrees. Once she's dressed again she'll take Adir's hand and presumably they head back to their room.

[Murkus]

Showers --> Adir and Sakura's Room

Adir thankfully decides to get dressed again, though that tunic's going to need changing. Once there, he scrounges a t-shirt from the piles next to Laela, taking the opportunity to touch her forehead.

After a minute, as though wondering how to ask, he says quietly, "How's she treated you?"

[Gullara]

[Adir and Sakura's Room]

Thankfully? That's rather subjective, don't you think? *peers suspiciously at Sakura*

"She's been pretty good." Sakura stands next to Adir, looking down at their baby. "Except for when she likes to keep me up half the night. It's almost surprising that she's sleeping so good right now." At least Sakura's in good humour about it.

[Murkus]

Adir and Sakura's Room

Okay, thankful for everyone but the nudist fey. "She's a bawler, then? Well, at least now she can keep us up all night." Adir says with a melodramatic little sigh. He wants to pick her up again, but after hearing that, decides against it. He's not sure how to treat the tiny creature. "Um... so... I guess I've got a lot to learn." The stag is feeling more awkward by the moment.

[Gullara]

[Adir and Sakura's Room]

Sakura loops her arm in his and rests her head against his arm. "I think we both still have a lot to learn." She laughs quietly and gives his arm a squeeze. "But you definitely need to learn to change diapers."

[Ashen Lilies]

[Wenomir and KR's Room]

Wenomir learned a thing or two while watching the rampant showing off on the stage in MaGLoG. It was a simple matter of repetition. I'm glad you think so, he says and returns the kiss, wrapping his other arm around KR as well. If you want more of this, just ask.

[Wenomir and KR's Room]

Ah. So he was watching.
"I'll think about it." Says KR, mirroring Wenomir by wrapping both her arms around him as well.

NOW WHERE CAN THEY POSSIBLY GO FROM HERE?

[Morty]

[Wenomir and KR's Room]

Only for educational purposes!
As for where they could go from here, I certainly have no idea, but Wenomir will reach for the curtain there.
