[dimanibussacrum]

[leading Lance and Morrolan into his workshop, and pointing at a clear stool.]

Sit. I'll be back in a moment. And don't touch anything.

[ From here.]

Comments

[deagingly]

[what are we, children? silently complies and sits down]

So...

[dimanibussacrum]

[considering that you can see live, charged flashstones on one table and a couple of knives on the other, perhaps its for your own good. I mean.]

Not yet. I'm getting us all a drink. They'll want some time to themselves, and we need to talk.

[deagingly]

[oh, come on, I know better than that :(]

Right, right... [for once looking a little troubled]

[dimanibussacrum]

[nods, and leaves the room, returning in a few moments caring a tray with a klava press on it, and a pot, and the jar of honey and cream. he leaves the tray on the table as he goes to the door and strips down into his leather jacket, hanging his habit on the door, before he walks back to the table, not speaking until he's starting to pour.]

You drink this with cream and sugar, as you see fit. It is also very hot.

[deagingly]

[slides the cup towards himself and spoons in some sweet additives]

What, it's not coffee?

[dimanibussacrum]

It is not just coffee. I thought it would be more bracing, in a moment like this. It will also keep us awake for longer.

[spoons in full spoon of cream and a half of honey before taking a sip of his]

[deagingly]

[just swirling his drink around with the spoon]

Heh, I don't think I'm going to pass out any time soon.

[dimanibussacrum]

Suit yourself.

[places the cup back down on the table and looks at Lance]

[deagingly]

[keeping his gaze downcast at his drink]

To think something like this would happen...

[dimanibussacrum]

Has happened. As shocking as it is, it is very clearly in the past tense.

[deagingly]

Yes, happened. I was just generally speaking.

[dimanibussacrum]

...yes. It was an extreme measure.

[deagingly]

[thick silence is thick. . .

finally tries a sip of this ~klava~]

[dimanibussacrum]

[it's pretty delicious. also, really hot. you should have added some cream.]

The question remains. What are we going to do when we get back? And what are we going to do if Veloren finds out here? No...when he finds out here. It may only be a matter of time.

[deagingly]

[akflsd sitting the cup back down to stir in some much needed cream :|]

Looks like we'll have to be on our best guard, as simple as that sounds. [quick sigh] This is really getting out of hand...

[dimanibussacrum]

At least his right hand has left us. But we'll do the best we can with what we have.

[siiiighhh]
