[NEXUS] WATCHTOWER 14: Now a Family Business.

[Zefir]

[Entrance]

"Sadly he dissapeared when I was going to talk about that. I heared he came back. You could ask him first if you want."

Make this bells out he isn't here for that. After all Adir owes him a favor for the first firework and he is here to request something.

[Halae]

[Entrance]

Harnel shakes his head, "No, it's fine. I'll show you where his place is." Harnel waves for Zefir to follow him as he goes into the building. Something seems odd about this whole deal.

If Zefir follows, Harnel will lead him to Sakura and Adir's room.

[Zefir]

[On the way]

He follows along. Beeing quiet all the time. He hasn't really thought what to do if there is someone else around. he needs to think of something.

[Gullara]

[Adir and Sakura's Room]

When they arrive at the room, they will find the door firmly closed and no sound coming from within. Assuming one of them knocks, the noise will be followed immediately by the sound of a baby crying.

[Vacant Room]

More than likely immediately after what Sahura said in my last post, she and Adir will hear Laela crying. "Uh oh." Sakura sighs, but she's still smiling. "I guess we need to get up."

[Murkus]

Vacant Room --> Adir and Sakura's Room

Adir opens his mouth to speak, but the only sound that comes is Laela crying. Interrupted, he blinks at the sound. "Oh. Yeah, probably."

Provided Sakura moves off him, Adir rolls out of bed and gathers some clothes. Damn, he'd been ready to take a nap himself. He gives Sakura another glance while they dress. "Um, as for the house, that's fine. It's your house too, right?" He grins more mildly, then heads for the door.

I'll give the other two a moment to react, mostly because I'd like to see that reaction.

Fey Meeting - Main Room

"Um, we should still put a plan together, in case she needs to be put down. I have these herbs - Kinsbane - that should do the trick on an arrow or a sword or something. Do we know anything about this fey's type? Or abilities?"

[Halae]

[Hallway]

Harnel's scaly face turns rueful. "I..." He does not like that sound. At all. "I'm sure they'll be along in a moment. They wouldn't leave Laela on her own for too long."

[Zefir]

[Hallway]

A crying baby?... Hey that's great. Ok it's not really that great, but that could help Zefir out.

"Wouldn't it be better to have a look? I can't hear anyone else then the crying, maybe someone is in danger."

[Gullara]

[Vacant Room => Hallway]

The dryad quickly gets dressed too. Who knows who could be in the hall! No need to flash Harnel accidentally again.

"Perfect." Sakura gives Adir a peck on the cheek, then puts her hands on his back to lightly push him out the door. Parents to the rescue!

"Oh, hey Harnel, and uh..." Oh dear, Sakura learned Zefir's name right? Now she can't recall.

[Murkus]

Hallway

"Zefir. Hey, guys," Adir says with a smile, crossing his arms and arching a brow at the two. He tries to look serious. "Did you two wake up my kid?"

[Halae]

[Hallway]

"Well, you know how it goes," Harnel says, quirking an eyebrow at Adir's 'serious face'. Man, that was such bull crap

[Zefir]

[Hallway]

Actually I'm not sure if Sakura knows him, but Adir only knows him under the pseudonymous C4. He never told him his name since he knew they might met in combat. Also He still wears his mask and cape.

"Not really. We wanted to look after you, but befor we even reach the door we heared the noise."

Then he points at the door.

"Shouldn't you have a look at that first?"

It's not meant ina bad way, but could be understood as one.

[Gullara]

[Hallway]

"Oh don't worry. She'll be okay." Sakura whisks past the men and opens the door to the room. Inside she hurries over to Laela and picks her up off the bed. "Shshshsh, Laela. Mommy's here." Sakura rocks the baby gently, but she won't be consoled just yet.

[Murkus]

Hallway

It always is, Harnel. Adir just grins at the two, "Yeah, probly." He steps into the room behind Sakura, taking his place at her side. He smiles at Laela, reaching a hand out to her, but is unsure what he can do to comfort the child.

Zefir and Harnel get another, somewhat distracted glance. "So what's up?"

[Morty]

Fey Meeting - Main Room

"Um, we should still put a plan together, in case she needs to be put down. I have these herbs - Kinsbane - that should do the trick on an arrow or a sword or something. Do we know anything about this fey's type? Or abilities?"

Mścisław, who has come back to provide additional information - but not in tame to hear them speculate about him being Wenomir's relative - answers:
Well, m'lord, she's called Lady Midday. She appears in the fields when the sun is in zenith and she looks like a blonde-haired maiden with sun-tanned skin. She dances there and brings heatstrokes to those who linger too long in the fields with the sun beating down on them. Only normally, she only appears in the summer. This year she appeared in spring and started going crazy.

[Zefir]

Hallway

Zefir gently waits for Harnel to declare things. After all he is the guest and shouldn't act like in his home.

[Halae]

[Hallway]

"Cloak and mask here mumbled something about fireworks and not being able to see you, so I brought him in here." Harnel says simply.

[Gullara]

[Hallway]

Laela grabs hold of one of Adir's fingers. If his hand gets near enough to her face she'll put the finger right in her mouth. She quiets immediately at that point. "Ooh, I bet you're hungry." Good, Sakura knows how to deal with that. "Here, hold her for a second." The dryad passes Laela off to Adir so she can pull the strap off one shoulder of her dress and then maneuver her bra off from there. She's turned a little bit away, but doesn't much care if anyone gets an eyeful.

[Murkus]

Adir and Sakura's Room

Adir grins at Laela, suddenly so quiet. He can't help but find the child amusing. He takes her with relative ease, though the stag's obviously nervous.

He turns to the others, for once entirely oblivious of Sakura removing clothing in the same room. "Whaddya need, then? You don't need my help at a wedding, do you?"

[Zefir]

Adir and Sakura's Room

"Something simular." He nods.

"Could we talk about that in privat? You will understand why I have to ask this when I tell you what it is."

He waites a moment and then shakes his head.

"Damn! That sounds more creepy then I wanted."

[Halae]

[Hallway]

Harnel averts his eyes when he realizes what Sakura's doing. There's only one set of boobs for him, after all

[Gullara]

[Adir and Sakura's Room]

Poor Harnel. A helpless victim of Sakura's lack of modesty. D=

Sakura will take Laela back from Adir once she's done. The baby looks like she's going to cry again before Sakura brings her to her breast so she can eat.

"You two talk. Me and Harnel can wait outside then." She's curious, but she can always ask Adir afterward. The dryad gives Adir's hand a squeeze, then heads for the door, likely herding Harnel out as well. If he sees her coming.

[Devixer]

Mścisław, who has come back to provide additional information - but not in tame to hear them speculate about him being Wenomir's relative - answers:
Well, m'lord, she's called Lady Midday. She appears in the fields when the sun is in zenith and she looks like a blonde-haired maiden with sun-tanned skin. She dances there and brings heatstrokes to those who linger too long in the fields with the sun beating down on them. Only normally, she only appears in the summer. This year she appeared in spring and started going crazy.

Boris lowers his head in thought. "Can you think of any reason why her behavior changed so suddenly?" Maybe he'd have to scout out the area, at least as well as he could.

[Murkus]

Adir and Sakura's Room

"Thanks hon," Adir says, watching Sakura leave with a grin. The look on Harnel's face is priceless. Ah, Material Plane, how prudish your people are. Once the dryad and the half-dragon are in the hallway, Adir pushes the door shut and arches his brow at Zefir. "Now what's so embarrassing that we have to be alone?"

Main Room - Fey Meeting

"And how exactly does she take people?" Adir adds to Boris's inquiry. He rather likes this fellow - mostly because he doesn't mind being called 'lord'. Sounds like his father's title.

[Zefir]

Adir and Sakura's Room

Zefir other than Harnel isn't embraced of Sakura's show of, it's good that he wears his mask right now since his expression could have been misunderstood. His hate against magical creatures, which a dryade is, still effects him. He cools himself down before he answers.

"Embarrassing? No that's the wrong thing. I'm here cause I need help for one of my jobs. It's a surprise firework for someone from Watchtower and I assumed you could help me out there."

[Murkus]

Adir and Sakura's Room

Well, the stag isn't exactly the most non-mythical thing here.

"Oh yeah? For who?" Adir seems happy to help. He leans against the wall, crossing his arms. "What do you need me to do?"

[Zefir]

Adir and Sakura's Room

Zefir start searching through his pockets until he drags out a paper.

"The name Is Ilpholin or so. I would need all kind of information you can get from her. Her life career, hobbies, enemy's she slayed friends etc. You know for my firework art. The person hiring me sadly was to distracted to tell me. Oh and since this is a surpris I ask you to keep it a secret. The less it know the higher the chances she don't know. "

[Morty]

Boris lowers his head in thought. "Can you think of any reason why her behavior changed so suddenly?" Maybe he'd have to scout out the area, at least as well as he could.

"And how exactly does she take people?" Adir adds to Boris's inquiry. He rather likes this fellow - mostly because he doesn't mind being called 'lord'. Sounds like his father's title.

As far as Mścisław is concerned, such important and powerful people must be noble-born. And if they're not noble-born, it's still best to call them lords unless they object, just to be on the safe side. While his last name indicates he might be Wenomir's relative, his submissiveness is quite at contrast with the warrior's attitude.
She sweeps around with the wind and dazzles them with bright sunlight, m'lords. Then they follow her without thinking, they do. I don't know what made her this way, though. I don't know the ways of the Fae.

[Lady Serpentine]

[Main Room - Fey Meeting]

The mist-thing that entered earlier shifts into a human form; specifically, a mid-height man, with bone-white hair, shaved on the right side of his head to make it possible for him to use the various cybernetic connections there, pale skin, mainly because he's spent the last few years in buildings and on ships, and dark grey eyes, with no visible white or pupil. Fortunately, unlike some shapeshifters, his clothing changes with him, so he's currently wearing a grey uniform (specifically, that of an Alliance officer from Firefly, though without the hat), and a floor length white leather jacket, subtly reinforced with thin plates of metal.

"Can't she change forms, as well? And sometimes demands the answers to riddles or questions?", Harin asks, frowning thoughtfully.

[Murkus]

Adir and Sakura's Room

"Uh, secret, gotcha," Adir nods conspiratorially. He wonders if Ilpholin's found herself an admirer, or perhaps a date. "Um, I guess I'll try to bug her more then. I wanted to say hi, now that I'm back, anyway."

Main Room - Fey Meeting

"Sounds simple enough. I guess we'll need to do some more intelligence. Find out if it's just her or there's a local fey community. Maybe some evil ones."

Mścisław appears surprised by Harin's transformation and his knowledge about Lady Midday's capabilities, but recovers fairly quickly.
They say she can m'lord and that she was seen doing it a few times, but I haven't lived there for very long. And it seems that ever since she went crazy she hasn't been doing it. She just swoops in and capturs folks.
In response to Adir, he says:
Well m'lord, the folks tell stories about lots of boogeymen in the area, but I don't know which stories are true. You'd have to check yourself.

[Kitchen]

Some time after the *cough* private show in the bedroom, Wenomir appears there, looking like a man who's quite content with his life.
