LionWoods

~ Visiting LionWoods, a small village in the northern territories ~

Jimmy, Sussanna and Cessy all make their way down the gang-plank to the market at the harbor.

Jimmy: "Oh, shishtersh! Flour ish sheap! You need floursh for baking?"

Suzie: "Yesh, my love "

Cessy looks at the basket for wool. "Shey hash no wool!"

Suzie: "...and butter... sheir wool ish empty, Shimmy... and sheir flour"

~ Cessy and Suzie head towards the village gate ~

Jimmy waits a moment for his sisters don't look, then quickly buys a bottle of the cheap paga, which prolly tastes like verr-pee.

Cessy smiles as their brother joins them, her eyebrows knotting at the small cask under his arm.

Jimmy bangs his head on the low hanging bell. "Oush!!!"

Announcer Bell: You have been announced.

~ They enter the village. ~

Jimmy smiles "Awwww..... sho mush grash! Good for verrsh!!!"

Cessy cups her hands and takes a drink of the water "Ah, shish ish refreshshing"

Jimmy: "look! Tame tabuksh!"

Cessy and Suzie admire the waterfall whilst Jimmy explores.

Cessy smiles "Shat ish very pretty"

Suzie: "It ish, my shister"

The Lioness: "Greetings"

Cessy jumps not having heard the lady approach.

Suzie nudges her brother forward to make the introductions.

Jimmy: "Oh, shere ish shomeone! I shought she villiash ish empty." - He raises his hand "Greetingsh, lady"

The Lioness looks at the travellers waiting for them to introduce

Jimmy: "I am Shimmy of she Clan Bloch. Sheshe are my shishtersh Sheshy and Shushy!"

The Lioness: "Greetings Jarl, welcome to LionWoods"

Cessy smiles "Greetingsh"

Suzie: "Tal, Lady"

The Lioness: "I am Lady Lwaana, Head Merchant and Owner of the village with my mate the high jarl"

Jimmy misunderstanding jumps and looks around "Larl??? Where?!? Duck, shishtersh!!!"

Suzie: "I shink she shaid 'Jarl', Shimmy, not larl."

Jimmy relaxes as his sisters remain unimpressed. "Oh.. .sharl! of courshe!". He giggles a bit embarrassed.

The Lioness smiles warmly to them. "Please follow me to longhall so we can talk what bring you to our lands"

Suzie: "ohhhhh!"

Cessy smiles "You wouldsh shink shey would get larls sho wish all sheshe tame Tabuksh?"

~ In the longhall ~

Jimmy: "Oh, ish warm and big here!"

Suzie looks around interested having never been allowed in the long house in the village before.

The Lioness gets inside her warm hall, stoping for a bit, smelling the nice food odours around the huge hall and inviting them to take a seat in the long table "Please do have a seat", she smiles.

Cessy looks up "oh, shish ish nishe!"

Suzie: "Ish very nishe here!"

The Lioness smiles proudly of her hall and to see always the same admiration in travellers that enter inside for first time. "Thank you Lady"

Jimmy looks at the tables and tries to measure with his eye, which one might be the longest to identify the long one.

Cessy scoots in besides her sister, then looks with worry as their brother and the lady sits at a differant table, then Jimmy bounces up and joins them at their table. Cessy whispers: "Sushi, I shink we are on she wrong one, she is shitting osher shere!"

Jimmy whispers to his sisters "I shought shat one ish longer!"

Suzie looks around never having seen a place like this. "Shimmy," she whispers. "ish shish like at home?"

Cessy looks over to the lady and her face flushes, she whispers accross "Lady, are we shitting in she right place?"

The Lioness controlls herself watching the brother and sisters whispering in a funny way "Would you like something warm to drink or eat Jarl and Ladies?" she asks them with her susual calm voice.

Suzie looks to the lady who sits at a different table. "Ish very quiet in she villash?"

The Lioness: "You can come to my table please, no problem at all"

Jimmy hisses to his sisters "Shee! I telled you ish she osher table longer!"

Suzie: "Ish very kind of you, Lady."

Cessy nudges her brother and sister, for a change not pushing Jimmy as the lady is already companioned

The Lioness: "You are my guests, it's normal". She points to the food on the table "Please, you can have some."

Jimmy as the fire shines right into his face starts to get a bit warm and takes his cloak off.

Suzie doesn't have to be asked twice its been at least 15 minutes since they had lunch.

Cessy looks at the seat, and then plonks herself on the big one glad their is finally a seat which can accomidate her large.... assets ((the high jarls seat))

Suzie... and ten since having snacks

Jimmy licks his lips but waits for his sisters to get some of the meal first, as he had a piece of pie right at the gates of the village.

Suzie reaches over and takes a piece of vulo, tucks it under her veil and starts to nibble on it as dantily as she can.. She nudges her sister, "Sheshi, I shink you are in she Jarlsh sheat."

The Lioness: "Would like some warm mead Jarl and ladies?"

Jimmy as his sisters finally helped themselves, reaches far over the lady's chair to grab a piece of meat too before his sisters eating it all, but... unfortunately forgot that he had bought that bottle of paga and hidden it under his arm from his sisters. And as he reaches over, the bottle lands in the lady's lap. "Oopsh!"

Suzie covers a burp and reaches for some bread.

Cessy looks at her sister in confusion, then looks behind her and nudging her sister and pointing says "No, he shitsh over shere, shey musht carry food for him to eatsh on hish lap"

Suzie: "Ish very delishiush, Lady Lwaana, You musht have to work very hard to cook all shish food."

The Lioness looks surprised from where that bottle could have fallen, she looks up to the roof looking for a sudden whole but not finding any she garbs the bottle and places it on the table.

Cessy reaches over and takes one of the small loaves of bread, taking a chunk and tearing it, and trying to eat delicatly, unaware of the crumbs droping down on her front.

Jimmy blushes bright red and quickly grabs something on the plate.

The Lioness smiles brithfully watching them eat with huge appetite "Nay Lady, it's done very easily and my first girl leads well the other slaves so there is always prepared food in the longhall "

Cessy thinks for a moment "Ish mead she one shat tashtesh of honey?"

Jimmy frowns a bit as all he got in his panic was a dry piece of bread. So he starts to rip little pieces out of it, pouting.

The Lioness nods and smiles to the woman "Aye Lady is that one, but we also had sometimes some spices"

Jimmy looks in awe at his so much older sister who knows so much and is the only one in their family that can count to 22 - however the only reason is, because she has 6 toes on every foot -, then nods to the lady "Yesh, I likesh to try shome of shat mead. I heared shooooo mush about it!", he lies

Cessy smiles "Shat shoundsh interesting, yesh, pleashe shen...". Then motioning to Jimmy "But lesh for Shimmy or he will be......." blushes "...wish she verr againsh"

Suzie: "Oh you have kashirash here?" She looks around to see where they are hiding. "She lasht plashe we vishited had Shlaveboysh. It wash quite nishe to shee all shat male flesh for a shanshe."

The Lioness can't control herself anymore and laughs joyfully standing and walking to the pit to serve some spicy mead for them. She laughs again "Nay, we have bonds and they are in the fields, we have a huge order to fill so that why the village is quiet"

Cessy looks in horror at her sisters words "Sushi, behavesh.... we'sh in she preshensh of a lady" then more sorrowfully adds "...a companioned lady". She pouts

Suzie: "Do you have any shingle ladiesh here, Lady Lwaana? We are looking for a companion for our brosher Shimmy"

The Lioness grabs the warm mead pitch near the hearth fire and from the table with the vessel, serves some warm spicy mead and bring to each one of them "Aye we do Lady"

Jimmy throws his sister a threatening glance.

Cessy nods empatically at her sisters words "Shomeone whish a bit of meat on sheir bonesh"

Suzie: "Ohhh good, maybe we can find one shat would take shimmy. He ish shuch a good boy and shpends sho mush time tending his Verr. And at twenty and one yearsh he ish almosht pasht it"

The Lioness smiles warmly to these great familly missing suddenly all her familly being here in meals moments, it was all that funny too to see.

Suzie smiles from beneath her veil as the lady passes her a horn of mead.

Jimmy's eyes get dreamy as the mentioning of verr. While the lady prepares the mead, he asks her: "Do you hash verrsh here?"

Suzie looks at the horn confused and tries to stand it on the table. Catching it just before it rolled over and decides to hold it instead.

The Lioness sits again at her usual chair by her mate's and seeing they were well, eating and drinking, turns to the man "Where are you from Jarl?"

Jimmy like his sister tries to balance the horn on the table and... finally manages it. "Don't move!", he whispers.

Cessy takes the horn, and pretending she has had it lots of times rather than having only heard about it gulps the lot down is one swig "oh! oh, my.... well, shat hitsh she spot" Cessy thumps her chest a few times as it burns its way down "Might I hash another?"

Jimmy with his eyes fixed on the horn, ready to catch it as soon as it will sway, answers "We ish from our villiash. But we ish travelling a lotsh"

The Lioness smiles warmly and knowing they would might need more mead, she tends her hand to grab the other horn that she left on the tray in front of them, giving it to her.

Suzie lifts the horn to her lips and takes a tentative sip. Her eyes widen. "Ish an intereshting flavour" she says taking another sip. She wipes her eyes that are starting to water a bit from the spicy flavour.

Jimmy as the horn starts to sway quickly grabs it and holds it in his hand. Other then his sisters he takes a very careful sip. He licks his lips "Mmmmm... tashtesh like honey and shpishesh"

Suzie cradles the mead horn in her hands not quite knowing what to do with it.

Jimmy turns to the lady and repeats his question, not sure if the nice woman already answered it, cause he was so concentrated on the horn "Sho, do you hash many verrsh here?"

The Lioness nods and smiles to him "Aye, Jarl, would you like to see them?"

Suzie leans across to Shesi, "Aww ish shweet shat he mishesh his flock."

Jimmy gets big dreamy eyes "Ohhhhhhh.... I would love too! I hash verrsh too! 19! Want to shee a painting of my favorite?"

The Lioness nods and with a bright smile "Aye Jarl, of course"

Jimmy without waiting for the answer pulls an old painting from his belt, unfolds it and shows it the lady "Shat ish Elishabish!"

Cessy stares at the mead for a moment, dissapointed that their host managed one so quickly, but gamely sholdiers on and downs it a bit too tipsy now to notice her siblings actions, "Shatsh, an intershing flavor, I shall have to try it in a pie.." then her eyebrows furrow "...triesh shit insh a pie" she repeats more carefully

The Lioness look at the painting interested "ohhhh, very pretty one Jarl"

Jimmy: "She'sh shooooo shmart!"

Cessy nods to her brother's words "So quiet ash well, well, ecshept at midnight when our brosher goesh to shay good night to her, shen she always bleatsh loudly for a few minutesh.... she musht miss him so soon" her eyebrows furrow again "...mish him sho shoon", she frowns and looks accusingly as Suzie for no reason other than she suspects her sister to be the cause of her slurring.

Suzie looks quizically at her sister as she starts to slurr her words.

Jimmy smiles proudly, then carefully folds the painting again and puts it back under his belt. For a moment he looks over to his oldest sister, wondering why she's talking so funny, then turns his gaze back to the lady "Sho... I guesh, when you hash verrsh, you don't need woolsh and verr sheeshe? We trading moshtly wish woolsh and verr sheeshe! And my shishtersh are baking too"

~ A slavegirl awakes ~

Nai'mah stiffly rises from the floor of the kitchen, her arms wrapped around the grinding mill "Nnghh Odin's hairy balls I'm stiff!", she mutters, then stretches. She'd thought she'd heard voices in the hall, so she brushes the residue of flour and corn bits from her kirtle, and peeks around the corner "Oooohhh guests!" she whispers to herself as she pulls off her kirtle and bounces into the hall.

The Lioness: "ohhh, but aye jarl, wool is always necessary"

Nai'mah hops up on the edge of the fire pit and grabs the mead pitcher, "Tal my Mistress! Greetings and welcome Jarl, Mistresses!"

Suzie hiccups suddenly and looks at the mead horn with interest before hiccuping again.

Jimmy hears a sound and mumbling in the background and turns surprised his head "Greetingsh... " - he tries to remember how they call the slavegirls up here in the north, then remembers "... bond"

The Lioness sees her first one and with a bright smile for being so feisty "tal mine, where were you"

Suzie blinks in surprise, cus she is sure the girl that just came in is naked. She shakes her head and decides its the mead . "Greetingsh, girl," she says.

Nai'mah smiles warmly "Anything I can get for you Jarl? Something to eat? Aiii Mistress, I was sleeping by the mill... I must've falled to dreams while making flour" To Suzi: "Greetings, Mistress!"

The Lioness: "Aye hun, you've been working hard for that huge order, is it almost done?"

Nai'mah frowns "I don't think so... It's a lot... I should get girls on all the grind stones... *sighs... if they'd ever come out of the kennel the silly gants.

Cessy smiles and gestures vaguly in the direction of the new arrival "she... shat ish what we meansh, shome meat on shere bonesh!", then frowning and peeking at the girl "ish shat girl naked", she whispers to Suzie.

Jimmy shakes his head, his eyes resting with pleasure for a while on the naked body of the slave before his sisters can throw him threatening glances. "I am fine... She lady here gave ush food and mead, shank you!"

The Lioness laughs

Suzie: "Ohh you shee it too?", she whispers back, "I shought it wash the mead."

Cessy thinks for a moment. "Do you hash any pie?", she ask politely hoping the girls in front of her will come closer so she can check if she is seeing things.

Jimmy takes another careful sip of his drinking-horn, pricking his ears as he hears something about 'orders' and trades. "What order do you hash, lady?", he asks curiously, "maybe we hash shomeshing to tradesh?"

Nai'mah nods "Aye, Mistress... would you have larma, tyros cherry, or perhaps ramberry?"

Cessy thinks for a moment "Sherry pleash"

Suzie: "Ramberry," she says quickly.

The Lioness: "Oh Jarl, since we have very good alliances, trading ones with some major cities in South, we managed to have a bit of all"

Jimmy lifts his drinking horn "I am fine. I hash my meadsh"

Suzie drains her mead then holds up her horn. "Ish shere any more of shish?" she asks hopefully.

Nai'mah grins. "Aye Mistresses... cherry and ramberry"

The Lioness thinking they would fall if they saw her stock house.

Cessy nods at her sisters gesture "yesh, some more meee... mid...mud... shome more of she honey shtuff"

Suzie hiccups again.

Nai'mah pops around the table and reaches round the Lady's shoulder tipping the pitcher of warmed mead in her hand to fill the Lady's horn before she went to plate pie

Jimmy nods at the ladies words, hard to contentrate on them, as he's busy watching the naked bond preparing the pies for his sisters

Suzie smiles stupidly under her veil as the girl fills her horn again.

The Lioness stands "If you excuse me, I have to see an ally that is waiting for me in the farm, will be right bak" and she leave sthe room by the kitchen.

~ The Blochs and the slave girl alone in the longhall ~

Nai'mah quickly pulls two plates from the stack and plates a nice slice of cherry pie and one of ramberry. She dollops a bit of whipped bosk cream on both, and nearly melts as she licks a little off her finger.

Suzie suddenly has the urge to sing the song that she heard one of her male cousins singing before they left the village.

Nai'mah comes back around, bouncing along around the tables, as if you'd have the feeling if it were pitch dark in the hall, she'd still not bruise a shin or hip dancing about. She moves between the ladies and sets the pie before the ladies.

Suzie sings: " 'shixty shix bottlesh of beer on she wall, shixy shix bottlesh of beer. If you take one down and pash it around shere,"... she stops and counts on her fingers "...a lot of bottlesh left of the wall"

Nai'mah: "Here we are, Mistresses, Torian Cherry for You, and Ramberry for You, Mistress". She slides a well polished fork next to each plate.

Cessy smiles "Shank you, dear", then focusing on the girls..... assets scowls at Jimmy "Cover your eyesh, Shimm, what wouldsh mosher shay!?"

Nai'mah moves back round near the Jarl and bends over the table a bit, leaning near him "Is the Jarl still doing well?", she purrs into his ear

Suzie leans over Cessy and speaks to Jimmy not noticing that she is leaning in her bosk cream. "Shish ish she nishesht plashe we been sho far, Shimmy."

Jimmy watches the naked girl serving his sisters, finding her fortunately not so skinny like those kajirae in the south, then turns his eyes quickly to the roasting task before him as his sisters recognize his staring.

Suzie nudges her sister, "What'sh shat forky shing for?"

Cessy looks at the indicated item for a moment, then whispers back "It'sh for doing your hairsh" and she demonstrated by combing out a tangle whilst picking up her pie and stuffing it in her mouth, forgetting her manners due to the mead.

Suzie: "Doesh my hair need combing, shishter?", she asks as she too picks up her pie and takes a bite out of it ignoring the fact she now has cream all over her veil.

Nai'mah sees the Jarl look at her and then away and she smiles soflty, then reaches up and caresses his cheek gently. She held a chuckle at the Mistresse using the fork to comb her hair...unusual, but not the worst she'd seen. "May Naimah know where you have traveled from to visit our village?"

Suzie she squints a bit and says. "Ish a very pretty colour in here ishnt it...hic"

Cessy indicates "Ish alright" and gamely takesh a swig from the mead again. "Sho," she indicates vaguely in the direction of the girl now not being sure which of the three in front of her was the one that served them "..ish shere a lot of women in shish village shat are not companioned?"

Jimmy was so focused on the roasting tarsk, that he didn't see the hand coming that is carressing his cheek. For a moment he ducks in reflex like always, when his sisters try to clean his face with a hankerchif, but then realises, that it is the bond. He blushes bright red.

Nai'mah moves easily around the hall, still keeping her attentions focused on the visitors, she carved and basted meat, turned suls over the fire... she gathered a plate of meat and some larma to arrange at the high jarl's table, as the plate there was getting empty. "I believe there are a few, Mistress... but I can't say I'm acquainted with them all to be sure... "

Jimmy nervously and excited points somewhere over his shoulder "fffrom... shere!", he stutters, but has forgotten he's still holding the almost full drinking horn in his hand and spills some over his shoulder

Nai'mah smiles warmly to the Jarl "Oh dear Jarl... would you wish me to pour you a bit more mead... to warm your horn a bit?". She quirks her smile and winks a bit mischievously.

Jimmy takes a big slug of his horn... and spits it the next moment over the table at the bond's words... Then.. between his coughs... blushing even brighter... "oh.. you... *cough* meansh she... *cough*... drinking horn?!?"

Suzie giggles.

Nai'mah bites her lip "I'd guess, if I was asked, that you've not come from the North?"

Suzie lifts up her veil and wipes her lips then puts it back down again. She tries to focus on the girl that is serving them and her eyes cross.

Jimmy shakes his head while he's trying to wipe the table clean with the arm of his shirt "No.. we comesh from a bit more shoush... on she osher shide of the great woodsh". Then he adds to show-off "But we travelsh a lotsh... trading wish woolsh and verr sheeshe... and she bakeriesh of my shishtersh... and osher shingsh... norsh and shoush... all over along she coasht... wish a ship... called Impresh"

Suzie: "This mead ish quite nice, ishn't it", she says to her sister, "We should get a supply." She thinks for a moment then says "We should getsh a shupply."

Nai'mah takes a repcloth and quickly dries the table before the Jarl, her body pressing close as she then moves with a fresh cloth, dry and warm from the side of the fire, and blots the back of his jacket, and shoulder. She then takes the pitcher from the fire, and lifting the horn, His hand still wrapped around it, she brings it to rest between her breasts, then pours the mead into the horn in the close space between them "Oooh that sounds so exciting Jarl... You must see so many things!" as she releases his hand, but not before leaning forward and kissing him full on the mouth.

Suzie almost drops her horn as the girl plants a great big smacking kiss on her brother's lips. "Shimmy, congratulatiosh" she says seriously. "You ish engaged!"

Nai'mah opens her eyes wide "Ohhh Mistress... I was just serving the Jarl mead!"

Jimmy nods to his sisters without looking at them, his eyes staring at the ample bosom of the bond when she leaned over the table to clean it, then gulping loudly when he feels her body rubbing against him as she's cleaning his jacket, then his eyes following the way of the drinking horn like hypnotized.. he nods.. "see.. many... things... yes...", he lisps in excitement repeating her. His eyes - and not only those - grow big as the bond leans into him to kiss him. His face turning fire red, not used to so much attention... - well, except from his verrs.

Suzie nudges sheshi again hard in the ribs. "Finally shome girl shat can put up with she shmell."

Nai'mah bit her lip, and admitted in her head that she *was* holding her breath, he did smell a bit like that thrall that slept in the barn. But ... but... engaged!? "I suppose if the Jarl wanted to buy me, my Mistress might sell me... for the right coin... " she shrugged.

Cessy frowns and nudges her sister "Maybe she doeshnt know she waysh of she villashe", then looking at the girl she recites the ryme "Forversher only, I givesh to shee, my life ish yoursh, my kish ish free, upon your lipsh, I sheal shish oash, a kish on she lipsh, to bind ush bosh"

Suzie suddenly slumps forward and starts to snore ... loudly.

Jimmy shakes his head to get his mind clear, then turns his head to his sisters, starts to speak in a shrieking voice "engash...." - he clears his throat and tries again, an octave deeper "Engashed, shishtersh? Don't be shilly. Ish a bond! But maybe we can buy ..." - He gets interrupted as the younger of his two older sisters slams with her head on the table and starts to snore.

Suzie jumps up suddenly as her sister nudges her in the ribs. "Uhhh what who.. it washnt me "

Nai'mah felt a deeep panic set into her belly "Mistress... I'm not a free woman... I'm a bond, a slave... I can nay be companioned.... how does Jarl use the girls of your village if he cannae kiss upon them?"

Jimmy turns his head from his sisters to the bond and explains "Shere ish only one shlavegirl in our villash"

Cessy nods sympathetically.

Nai'mah nods "Only one, aye? She must work very hard... "

Jimmy: "Oh, she belongsh to my coushin. We are shusht a shmall villash.. all our clan."

Suzie looks at the bond. "She'sh a big girl," she says. "Really big girl. She'sh shtrong ash a boshk... shmellsh like one too."

Nai'mah chuckles "The same's been said of me, Mistress"

Cessy smiles "What a woman! Handsh like shovelsh, arms like a warriorsh legsh, she hash all the girlsh in the village jeloush"

Suzie: "Yesh, wish I had shtrong legsh like shat."

Nai'mah smiles wide "She sounds magnificent, Mistress!"

Cessy whispers to her sister "And I've heart, shat she could crack nutsh..." she lowered his eyes downwards and nods with her head "...any nutsh"

Suzie: "Too bad she can't have shildren. Would have gotsh at leasht 20 out of her." Then whispers back to Cessy. "I don't doubt it, Sheshi dear, hash you sheen our coushin when he walksh?"

Cessy nods "Yesh, but Jimmy ish young, shere should be a good 20 or 30 from him" she smiles proudly at her brother.

Suzie: "You have good shild bearing hipsh dear," Suzy says to the bond. "I betsh you could have at leasht 15 Shildrensh eshily."

Jimmy grunts as his sisters start to talk about all the nephews and nieces they want. Rolling his eyes he grabs the drinking horn and takes a big gulp.

Nai'mah gulps, but cannot help but, in her bondish way, appraise the looks of the young Jarl. She imagined with a bath, or two, a vigorous hair washing... that the Jarl was probably, maybe, a little, handsome. She laughs "Aye, Mistress... I suppose I could if I was put to breeding. I know the ... erm... process well"

Jimmy hiccups and coughs as he swallowed the strong drink too quickly.

Cessy smiles "You shash had lotsh?"

Nai'mah canted her head, not *quite* catching the question "Mistress? You mean, children?"

Cessy nods "yesh, what elshe?", she asks confused.

Nai'mah blushes "Oh no Mistress... I've had no children.... only lots of practice in the process of making them!" she paused for a moment, and lowered her voice, leaning both hands on the corner of the table as if she was CEO of Bondgirl International and reiterated "LOTS of practice". You almost had the feeling that there should be a graph of some sort behind her on an easel.

Jimmy growls a bit at his sisters as usual, when they talk in his presence about him as they talk about a ram.

Cessy looks worried "Butsh, our Jimmy, he ish all shweet and innoshent"

Suzie: "shweet and innoshent" suzy repeats.

Jimmy tries to focus on his - empty - drinking horn, holding it in one hand and staring at it's empty ground as if he could read the future out of it. His other hand resting in his lap, trying to cover the big bulge from his sisters' eyes.

Nai'mah purrs as she moves over to Him "Aye, he is a very nice Jarl!" *she fusses with his hair a bit and sees the empty horn "Jarl? " *she leaned over and placed her lips just a hairs breath from his ear, with a warm moist purring voice, she asked "May I fill your horn with warm golden mead, Jarl?" He eyes flickered up the table, "Mistress? Mead? Or may I bring you something else?"

Jimmy feels a pleasant shiver running down his spine at the proximity of the bond. He tries to lick his lips, but his mouth too dry, so he just nods and holds the horn up to her, his fingers brushing over her soft skin.

Suzie: "Do you hash shome black wine dear," she asks suddenly having a craving for the strong drink. "Or shweet tea?

Nai'mah toys with the notion of climbing in the Jarl's lap, but thinks better of it, and instead takes the pitcher and tips it up, filling the horn. This time, she considers the usual kiss she would give, and the song the Mistress's sang, and reconsiders... instead turning her body in such a way that one pert nipple managed its way to brush against the Jarl's lips. "Aye, Mistress! We have both blackwine, and bazi tea... which would you prefer?"

Suzie: "Black wine, pleashe. Firsht shlave. Shix shugarsh, pleashe!"

((note for none-Goreans: Black wine = coffee. First slave = with milk and sugar. Second slave = black))

Nai'mah bounced, quite literally, closer to the MIstresses so she wouldn't need to shout "Aye Mistress, first slave with six sugars! And you Mistress? " turning to the lady in the High jarl's chair "Anything for you?"

Cessy nods "Blackwinsh too I shink", she says gripping the table wondering who is spinning the room

Nai'mah: "Aye. Would you wish it first or second slave, Mistress?"

Cessy looks in confusions, and looks to her sister for help but finds her otherwise occupied, so put on the spot answers "ummm bosh?"

Jimmy's throat even too dry to gulp takes the horn from the girl, his other hand still resting in his lap starts automatically to massage the bulge underneath the leather until he remembers the presence of his sisters. Abruptly he stops and takes a sip from the mead instead, wetting his throat.

Nai'mah took the opportunity to clear away both plates while the Mistress contemplated... she was perplexed by the answer, not knowing how one could have blackwine both with and without sugar and cream at the same time... so she asked what she hoped would clarify "And how many sugars does Mistress prefer?"

Suzie: "Shix", she replies, "wish cream."

Cessy clutches the arm of her chair put on the spot again and guesses "Oh she usual amout you would ushe for bosh", she bluffs

Nai'mah smiles "Aye Mistress... I will return harta!" She hustled into the kitchen to prepare the blackwine, pulling two small cups from the shelf, and in each placing six small spoons of sugar, the crystals sparkling bright against the surface of the cup. She lifted the kettle of blackwine brewing on the fire, and with a damp rep, lifted the lid, the smell was strong, and good. She poured the hot dark brew into each cup, and watched as the sugar dissolved, then as the strong brew still swirled from the stirring, she poured in a bit of cream in both, letting the motion of the liquid mix it through.

Nai'mah returned to the hall, and placed the cups gently and gracefully before each Lady "Mistresses, blackwine, first slave. May it set the world right for you, and bring you pleasure and comfort"

Cessy shifts uncomfortably in her chair "Jimmy shweetnesh, I hash an itch on my back, I cant reash, can you shcratch if for me?"

Suzie takes a vulo leg and starts to chew on it totally forgetting her manners. She sips her blackwine and winces a little, then beckons the girl a bit closer. "shree more shugarsh pleashe" she says.

Jimmy at his sister's request looks at the horn in the one hand, then down to his other hand still covering his bulge... considering for a moment.. Then he quickly gulps down his third mead and starts to scratch his sister's back with the pointed end of the drinking horn

Cessy smiles "ahhhh, much better".

Suzie: "We should be heading back to she ship shoon, Shimmy dear. She Impresh will not wait for ush if we ish late."

Jimmy starts feeling a bit dizzy from swallowing three or four horns of mead so quickly. As the bond now isn't so close anymore, he soon be able to take his hand out of his lap.. he hopes. He turns to his sisters which are enjoying their black wine, reminding them lisping "We thould thoon go to the thip, thithters"

Nai'mah: "Aye, Mistress!". She lopes back into the kitchen, loping being the best description of the sort of long, not silky kajira running thing she did. She snatched up the sugar bowl and the creamer for good measure, and carefully walked them back to the Mistress, as loping with things in your hands was ill advised, she had learned with the great pumpkin soup incident of the Year 10,117 Contasta Ar. "I brought the sugar, Mistress, and the cream should you wish it"

Cessy gulps down the hot liquid, then yelps slightly as she burns her lips, and looks up at her sister and brothers words.

Nai'mah slides both onto the table between the ladies, the little spoon sticking out from the sugar bowl.

Jimmy finally having both hands free grabs his bag "We thould leave thome of our verr-theethe her for the hothpitality"

Suzie: "Shank you dear," she says looking at her now empty cup. "I don't need it now, shank you." She leans to Cessy, "..didnt i shust shay shat?" she asks about Jimmy's statement.

Jimmy looks with hungry eyes at the bond and adds "... and maybe one or two of your thintherbreadth, thithterth?"

Suzie stands up and stumbles forward, her legs not cooperating with her brain.

Cessy nods "Yesh, I shink sho", she says to both questions at once

Nai'mah smiles "It was a great pleasure to host you in my Jarl's home, Jarl, Mistresses! I do hope we will see your return, and you can tour the farm and our trades! I am sorry my Mistress was not able to return to bid you well wishes"

Suzie stands up straight, ish, and smooths down her dress and poofs her hair. "Come shishter," she says staggering a little. "You heard little Shimmy, ish time to go to she ship."

Suzie waves it away. "'sh no matter, ish nishe anyway."

Jimmy finally finds a big loaf of verr-cheese in the endless depth of his bag. He places it on a plate and pulls a dagger out of his quiver, then cuts some pieces. Pointing with the end of the dagger to the cheese, slowly getting back control of his tongue he says: "You hash to try shish! I shink you never ate shomeshing delishioush like our verr sheeshe before!"

Suzie ruffles Jimmy's hair and leans down and kisses his cheek, "Ishn't he a shweetheart," she says getting all mushy. "Shome lucky girl ish going to get you "

Nai'mah looks wide eyed at such a large wedge of cheese "So very generous, Jarl, I bid you thanks on behalf of my owners!" she smiles warmly to the ladies

Jimmy grabs his cloak and holds it folded before him, covering his center.

Cessy smiles digging round in her bag "Shank you for sherving sho well" and hands over one of the Gingerbread figures she was working on.

Nai'mah accepts it gratefully "Ooooh it's like a little Jarl!"

Cessy smiles "Made wish besht butter!"

Jimmy nods and adds ".... lotsh of"

Nai'mah nods lots "Everything is better with butter!"

Suzie: "Sheshi likesh to ushe lotsh of butter, ish good for you."

Cessy smiles "A woman after my own heart!", then mubles a littles "Shusht needsh a few more inchesh of fat..."

Jimmy: "I shink we shoon will return... maybe make shome bishnesh... Oh.. and shee your verrsh! Haven't sheen your verrsh!" He repeats with a light sigh silently "mmmm.... verrsh"

Nai'mah: "Aye Jarl! We'll look forward to your return. Would you need an escort to the docks?", she prepares to grab her kirtle and re-dress.

Jimmy makes sure his cloak covers his pants well.

Cessy sighs hopeing with the bonds assets that he was being weaned off the Verr and wonders about just cooking Elizabeth.

Suzie decides he must have hidden his club there so he could bring it into the village.

Nai'mah bounces slightly seeing Naia enter the hall "Naia! Tal!"

Jimmy grins for no reason... or some... then nods to the bond "I shink we find our way out. Shank you again, bond. May your verrsh alwaysh find grash!"
