Cessie should be able to feel some confusion over their bond, but Harnel suppresses that urge. He's an individual that at least tries to think before he speaks, and thoughts that he doesn't know where comes from are generally not something he's going to state.

Taking his hand and giving it a squeeze, Cessie attempts to look into his eyes. "Anything she has done, I can undo with just a little time. I promise you that dear." She states while leading him through the gates, the guards taking care of all the paperwork for them.
Cessie smiles widely and gives him a quick kiss as they leave the gate behind, probably causing several Hestopian nobles to collapse as all their blood rushes up to their cheeks.
This is by the second time Harnel get's the same urge to say whatever his subconscious is thinking.
Given the setting, Harnel manages to keep it from happening. Sure, he couldn't do it forever, but he's certainly preventing himself from embarrassing Cessie in front of the whole city.

Harnel isn't actually lead to the manor, instead, onve they lost the guards, he is escorted into a larger house where a rather plump servant comes to met them. "Ah, lady Mithar, welcome back. I'm so glad to see you returned, the children are asleep so I was just waiting for you to return before I left. Did you found what you were looking for?" She says while giving Harnel a knowing look.
"Yes, and thank you Mindy. You have been a true blessing these days."
"Just doing my job m'lady." She states with a bow. "Now I need to return to my own younglings."
"Of course, I think we can take it from here." Cessie replies before waving Mindy off.
"So are you two going to be alright now? I know you might want to be alone right now, but the rest of the family will want to make sure you're alright too Harnel. Fey are not to play around with after all."
"Yes, we'll be alright Methil. I think I can handle everything from here, with all the Nevereth wards in place I doubt the fey will be able to harass us any further. We're going to be okay."
"Very well, see you two tomorrow then!" He says before walking off as well, leaving the pair to enter the small manor. It's quite old actually, worn by age but the decorations and the furniture are much newer from the looks of it. The only object that looks to be as old as the house is the painting of two boats meeting each other in the middle of the ocean with a sun raising over the horizon. "Finally alone..." The sorceress states as she sit down on the green coach in the middle of the living room right next to the entrance. "I have missed you so much Harnel, you have no idea how worried I was when the connection suddenly cut off." Is this a bad moment for another of those urges? Probably, but he can't exactly control them.
"You are incredibly sexy and boobs and I want your body," he says with a surprising amount of intensity.
Well, that basically sums it up, doesn't it? Harnel sits down next to his wife
"That's what I've been keeping myself from saying this whole time. only the other times demand more words. Whatever the queen did to me, I'm pretty sure she's just trying to be petty and embarrassing."

The mage blinks, so that's what the fey did to him? Seemed rather harmless as long as he could suppress it. "Yeah..." Cessie says with a faint smile and takes the half-dragons hand and holds it between hers. "I thought it was something much worse. Besides, I think I could have guessed that without you saying anything."
"Well yes," Harnel says with a grin, "There's a reason we're married, after all." He takes off his gloves at this point though; no reason to keep wearing them currently, especially being alone with his loving wife.

"Thank you." She states as the gloves come off. "And yes, there is a very good reason we're married..." She seem to hesitate though. "Are you sure you're feeling erm, frisky enough? You've been through a lot and I don't want to stress you."
Harnel smiles and shuffles himself closer to her, before looking into her eyes, "Cessie, I just spent two weeks away from you. I could already be unconscious and I'd still feel "frisky enough"."

His subconscious actually rather pleased at the moment, so nnot really anything changes about the curtain in any really major way, even if he is a little roguher than normal. No so much to hurt her though.

Trying to trip up Cimorene doesn't seem to work that well. She steps back with Eon like she was dancing with him. She goes for the disarm once again trying to get some leverage on the large weapon and twist it out of his hands. She hopes that even if he keeps a good grip on it that he might stumble and fall if she pulls hard enough.
Arena Cimorene Vs. Eon
And there she makes a mistake. Eon's main strength is... Strength. I don't know how strong she is, I just asusme she is waeker much than Eon. Also there isn't anything he could fall over right now. Eon will twist his weapon to the other direction and it is obviouse that he has to use much of his strength to keep the weapon in his hand.
Cimorene should look out. The arena wall is coming closer as they walk.

She was hoping to knock him off balance but it doesn't seem like that is going to happen here. Maybe if he attacked she could work some fake judo to trip/disarm him again. She lets go of the weapon and decides that she might as well go for some attacks. Hopefully being close up to him will limit his options of attacking back. She tries to bring down both of her swords onto his shoulders, maybe that will loosen his grip on his hammer.

Isn't he pretty rough normally though?
"I've missed this..." Cessie breathes out once they're done, laying to his right side, putting her arm over his chest. "Why don't you tell me all the fun details of what happened in arcadia by the way? I know you didn't tell everything to Methil and the guards..."
Cessie, despite apparently being bruised seem to find the tale rather amusing even if she really should be horrified that the half-dragon spend so much alone time with another woman.
"I'm not even surprised my dear, it would have been a great deal less amusing if she hadn't got turned back to normal in the end however." The sorceress says before kissing his cheek and rubbing his ear gently the way she knows he likes. "I have to admit, after being without you for more then two weeks I realized how much I would miss everything you are Harnel. life with you is anything but dull after all. Quite the opposite in fact. So I just want you to know that I can take the crazy, I have lived with it for many years after all. So know that you can tell me everything, no matter how crazy and depraved it is." She explains. "In a way, I shouldn't really say anything about perversion as I suspect a great deal of people find half-dragons a dangerous perversion in itself. Not that I care though considering I'm obviously a sexual deviant..." She coos in his ear.
Having dallied long enough while watching the fights already in progress, Ghoul finally snuffed out her cigarette and put her helmet back on as she stepped towards the fighting ring. Her opponent would see a fairly well armored individual although it was something from a rather technologically advanced society instead of a more 'traditionally medieval' realm that seemed to be somewhat more common. As such, while the armor was hardly bulky, it clearly allowed for quite a range of motion. Given the few knives here and there, it seemed clear that they were likely going to be her weapons of choice.
With the helmet over her face, only a pair of faintly glowing, red slits indicated where her eyes were. This, compounded with the rather dark hues of her armor, might lead to a rather imposing figure over all.
Ghoul's oppenent, currently entering the arena now, is a stark contrast to her heavy armor, in that he is wearing no armor at all. Instead, Boris is wearing a plain 'modern' combat uniform, with patches here and there that designate him as a Soviet soldier, as well as a red Spetsnaz beret instead of any real helmet. He is similarily lightly armed, only carrying a ballistic knife with spare blades and a combat shovel.
As he enters the arena, he sizes up his opponent while drawing his knife. He'd have to find a way to remove that armor, his weapons probably couldn't get through it.
Not so much ‘heavy armor’ as ‘well armored,’ the difference being that the muse wore something that was closer in resemblance to tactical armor than plate mail or powered armor and one would be hard pressed to consider it as being ‘bulky’ as heavy armor was often considered. Still, getting past it would likely be a bit of a task.
The array of implements her opponent carried, though, were certainly interesting. The shovel was probably the thing she would have to look out for given it's mass although the knives were likely going to be the main concern. Rather than draw a knife of her own, Ghoul simply fell into a 'resting' stance, indicating a choice in martial arts. Part of this was psychology; a demoralizing tactic of intimidation or boasting by the nonverbal indication of not needing weapons. The main reason, though, was simply combat style. It was great when one had the advantage but a weapon designed for thrusting left one wide open for a variety of grabs and throws.
Boris doesn't have much of an emotional reaction to Ghoul taking her stance. Instead, he keeps his ballistic knife pointed at her while adopting a defensive stance. Ghoul may recognize the stance as derivative of Krav Maga, if she is privy to different styles of hand-to-hand combat.
As he starts to step towards Ghoul, Boris flops the ballistic knife to a reverse grip so he can better use it in melee range. He keeps in the same defensive stance, hoping to bait Ghoul into an attack that he can counter.
Ghoul smiled inwardly at Boris' lack of reaction. She always did enjoy fights with professionals. They usually had the best tricks. Besides, a fight survived was just as much a victory as a learning experience. And a chance to add to one's own repertoire as well. She was able to vaugely place the stance as well but not without some trouble. Martial arts had a tendency to change over time and, given that she hailed from a timeframe comparitively beyond the Spetsnaz's, some evolution likely separated what she recognised and what he was using.
Still, that aside, it would seem to be a rather boring fight to watch starting out as both combatants appeared to be staying on the defensive. Ghoul was fairly certain she could wait him out but all the while she kept watch and gathered data of his motions and how he shifted his weight. It was impossible to really mask an incoming strike but some 'tells' could be picked up earlier than others due to how one held their stance, among other things.
Cessie, despite apparently being bruised seem to find the tale rather amusing even if she really should be horrified that the half-dragon spend so much alone time with another woman.

Harnel grins, "Well, you're my sexual deviant. I'm pretty alright with that," he gives her another kiss, "And I'm glad you can take it, given where we live," He relaxes for a moment, "What's do you think we should do tomorrow? I want to show Hestopia to the twins, but that might not be for the best with how people might react to their appearance."
Harnel has a disguise, but he doesn't have such a thing for the children.

"Do you really think they would understand or remember anything of it at this age? I was considering sending them to a school here once they're older. They could learn about the city then." She replies.
Harnel thinks about it for a while, "I'd be a lot more stable than living with us in the nexus, certainly, and I think I can appreciate them getting a hestopian education. In Ascaerin they'll be branded as outcasts. Here, they're merely weird. We could look into the schools available tomorrow instead."

"There really aren't many schools to choose from I'm afraid dear, most of the city's education is centered around the university, the other alternatives are the temples but we can afford much better then that." Yes, that's just for poor peasants Harnel. "But weren't we planning to take them to Ascaerin later?"
