Script Log with Jewel
Who: Euram and Jewel
What: They go on a DATE Picnic
Where: On the grass by the lake.
Jewel: ::She spread out a large blanket at a nice spot next to the lake, then looked around:: This should be good.....Wonder where he is. I hope I'm not early.
Euram: ::Finally arrives at the designated spot, with a basket from the café. slightly out of breath:: Ah..ha…Hello…salutation…whew. Such slow service…a disgrace really.
Jewel: ::Sits on the blanket and smiles at him:: It's okay really. I didn't wan't very long.
Euram: Still it would have been better had they been more apt at their job so that a lady would not be kept waiting at all.
Jewel: ::Giggles:: I don't mind. So...what have we got? ::Looks towards the basket::
Euram:…An excellent question… ::sets everything down, shaking out his now sore arm:: I gave them a great deal of instruction, however with their attitude it is hard to know what was followed.
Jewel: I'm sure it will be wonderful no matter what.
Euram: ::blush:: I do hope so. Though anything out of place is their fault, as my instruction was quite clear. ::sits on the blanket, and opens the basket, revealing more food than two people can eat, including sandwiches, cakes, sweets, fruits...just about everything on the café menu::
Jewel: Oh, my! This all looks so wonderful! We may have to share what's left over. ::And as if right on cue, her stomach growls::
Euram: Share?...Is there something here that is unappealing to you? ::fist clench mad face:: Oh I knew they were ruining everything!
Jewel: Oh no no! It all looks absolutely amazing! I just don't think we can finish all of this today! Are you okay? ::She puts a hand on his arm:: You seem a little uptight.
Euram: Why what could you possibly mean by that? I am perfectly fine. Beyond fine.,, marvelous even. Merely trying to ensure that everything is at it’s utmost perfection.
Jewel: Oh... ::Grins:: Well, it is.
Euram: ::dorky grin:: I am glad you find it so dear lady! Now…ha ha I do know it is a lovely sight but a feast is far more enjoyable when palate is added to vision!
Jewel: ::She blinks for a moment, she really has no idea what he just said:: You think so?
Euram: ::thinks she’s joking:: Hahaha! Of course! Come now, we have such an ample blanket, there is no reason to keep everything in the confining basket.
Jewel: Oh right! Well then... ::She begins unpacking the foods, spreading them out neatly, and noting in her mind what looked the best::
Euram: ::waits until everything has been taken out and inelegantly tosses the basket out of the way:: There we are…oh wonderful! I suppose the café did not destroy everything after all.
Jewel: Hehe. Looks like they did a really great job to me! ::She eyed a sandwich almost too readily, not wanting to start eating before it was polite::
Euram: ::Also wants to start, but it would be rude to do so before her:: ..Take your pick! I know there is a great deal to choose from, but something must stick out beyond the others.
Jewel: ::Her eyes lit up at the permission, and she reached for the sandwich she had been eying, and she took a bite, and hadn't quite finished chewing when she spoke again:: It's really deliciou... :: But she cut herself off, realizing what she had done. She swallowed fully, then started again, blushing slightly.:: It's delicious.
Euram: ::pulls backward from the inelegant display, and quickly changes the topic:: Ah yes! A far better outing than tempting the waters in the lake. Do you not agree? ::Chooses one of the smaller finger sandwiches and eats it with far more grace.::
Jewel: Y-yeah... ::Her mistake was certainly apparent, and she chewed at the food again, this time keeping totally quiet, trying to hide how mortified at herself she was::
Euram: ::finishes one and reaches for another:: I am glad you agree. I was worried at first that you wouldn’t be content as this was not your first choice.
Jewel: It's okay. This is..really lovely. ::She smiled, looking over the food and reaching for something new:: Besides, you're right about the temperature. I don't think it's even quite warm enough out to go swimming in the first place...but I am used to a much warmer climate. ::She continued snacking::
Euram: ::smiles and reclines on the blanket, pushing his cape out of the way:: As am I. I would presume to say that Falena is warmer still than the islands which you call…or called home.
Jewel: ::Smiles at him, happy that he appears to be relaxing a bit more:: Oh right! Falena is even farther south, isn't it?
Euram: ::nods:: Yes, and while Rainwall is not so far south as Sable it is still a very tempered climate. ::pauses, to take another bite and then looks away:: I do not know if you were aware but Sigurd recently returned from the Islands…I imagine a great deal has changed from what you knew of it.
Jewel: No, I hadn't realized...I do wonder what it's like now. ::She smiled, but still looked sad somehow:: I'm not sure I could stand to go back there now, knowing that everyone I knew has been gone for so long.
Euram: ::looks back at her intently, as she echoes his thoughts:: You? Certainly it would be a grave…pardon me…unimaginable challenge…You feel no shame from that thought?
Jewel: I really don't know what to think. It's... ::She sighed, and decided to put that out of her mind for now. They were supposed to be having fun, after all:: It's too lovely a day to talk about things like that.
Euram: Ah my apologies, of course. ::picks at the food, unable to stop thinking about the past::
Jewel: ::She took a moment to resituate herself, moving to lay on her stomach on the big blanket, legs bent up in the air at the knee:: Soooo.....what have you been up to? ::Takes a bite into another mini-sandwich::
Euram: Not much I fear. I…my book of sketches and notes for the castle was lost several weeks back, I have yet to locate it. ::dropped it in the elevator because of Shoon:: Fortunately the festival provided some distraction, as did a brief trip to Iksay. ::arms flailing everywhere as he talks:: It is amazing the amenities even a poor farming community can have. The fact that many of it’s people are not cultured because of them is truly a wonder.
Jewel: ::Smiles while she listens:: I've never spent much time in Iksay. I've always wanted to..it seems really nice there. Oh! And we just have to get you a new notebook. It's so sad to lose all of your notes, but you can re-compile it, I'm sure!
Euram: Your sweet words make my heart hope that it will be as easy as you say. ::reclines on his side on the blanket, supporting himself on his elbows.:: But the inspiration for so many of the designs are gone towards the sun for eternity. ::sigh:: The only hope is that the new inspiration will be on par…nay far better than the old. Ah, the fickle nature of the muse.
Jewel: I've always heard that even in creative endeavors, the second try is always better. ::She kicked her legs playfully:: So I'm certainly not worried.
Euram: Oh my lady, with such breathtaking optimism and blessings I can do nothing but succeed!
Jewel: Awww..I'm not that.... ::She rests her chin on her hands, trying to hide her blushing:: Thanks.
Euram: ::coughs and looks away, gesturing nonchalantly:: There is no need for such modesty. There is only us present and should it ever be challenged, though I do not see how it could be, I will sing the praises of your humility in such a way that no one will be able to doubt it.
Jewel: I...well..I said thank you! ::She really couldn't stop blushing, so she stuffed her face with a spoon full of potato salad, looking away awkwardly to chew::
Euram: ::a moment of awkward silence later:: So what have you found to fill your time?
Jewel: ::She recovered pretty quickly:: Um...work mostly. I have come out here to fish occasionally. Oh! And I did spend that time in Vinay...that was nice.
Euram: Oh yes, Vinay is a lovely city. It is interesting how both of us have traveled within its fine walls and different times. ::delicately reaches for a piece of fruit:: Perhaps in the next occurrence we could travel together instead…..As would be far more practical.
Jewel: Actually....maybe we could go together to Iksay. You were just saying how nice it was and all...Besides, it's much closer.
Euram: Hmm? Oh perhaps. ::not sure if he wants to a) have the country women flirt with him in front of jewel or b) have to make them stop:: Without a festival to take part in though I am uncertain if there will be enough to keep you entertained. It would be terrible to plan a trip and have it end in doldrums and woe!
Jewel: Oh... Well in that case...I suppose we could still go to Vinay together! I know there's lots to do there. ::She paused:: ....but really...I wouldn't mind just...relaxing in the countryside.
Euram: ::blushes looking down at the food:: Is that an activity you used to enjoy before coming here? Perhaps, in between your knightly duties?
Jewel: Well...not particularly. There really wasn't much countryside in the islands, per say. But I do tend to enjoy nature, just by itself.
Euram: Ah, well then that is an even more fine idea if it is something you have not been able to experience to its full delight. There is a fast countryside in Falena, a beautiful sight to be sure. If only there were a destination like Yashuna Village, such a plan might have been perfect.
Jewel: ...I'm content even if things aren't perfect. ::She lowered her voice to a whisper, reaching for a fruit:: ...As long as you're there.
Euram: ::beet red, and not sure he believes her:: Ah..You are far too kind lady Jewel…I’m certain you would have no trouble finding another escort if you had a wish to.
Jewel: ::Confident with herself for causing such a reaction, she decided to ride it out...maybe try this 'feminine' thing again. She batted her eyelashes at him with a sly smile:: Well...I sure can't think of anyone I'd rather go with. ::Maybe it needs a little work?::
Euram: ::cough, and looking everywhere but her:: Ah well..bu…ha ha… ::sits up all proper like:: I merely meant that as I am not overly familiar with the terrain..we would be in need of a guide if nothing else.
Jewel: ::She giggled:: Oh, that's what you meant. ::Not falling for it, for once:: Well..you would still know it better than me, having been there before. But if you want to get some kind of a guide, we can.
Euram: So these are certain plans then? Oh I do hope no urgent business comes up at the manor which may hinder them. That would be dreadful, awful, appalling even!
Jewel: Yeah. And work is still busy... hopefully it, and everything else will calm down. ::She turned to lay on her side, poking at some more fruit, still looking up at Euram every few seconds with a smile that wouldn't go away::
Euram: ::small sigh of relief:: The summer months are upon us. Feitas knows what may happen in them.
Jewel: ::Sighs:: That's true. But you know..that means if things go well we can keep having picnics like this. ::She turns to look at the lake, shining with the sun's rays:: It's just so pretty out...
Euram: … I would enjoy that. A beatific scene to complement amiable company. It would be a grand way to spend the summer months I think. ::small smile::
Jewel: ::Looks back over to him:: ....Yeah~
Euram: ::relaxes a bit more again in the short silence, and reclines, looking at the lake:: If a guide is found…and duties permit of course…I wonder if they might know of a waterfall nearby.
Jewel: ::Tilts her head to the side, curious as to why he said such a thing:: A waterfall?
Euram: Huh? ::looks over, oh yeah she might not get it:: I have told you of Rainwall have I not? It’s name is to describe the waterfalls on which is sits. It is a loveliest scenery any could possibly wish for. The only item missing now.
Jewel: You have told me a little about it... That really does sound beautiful! Are there a lot of them?
Euram: Only one, but that is all that is needed! ::leans on his side, excited now and talking quickly:: It is built right on the Feitas, much like the capital in fact! Why I would not be surprised if they took such an idea from us. The city is built on the waterfall, with our manor on top with the whole rest of the city flowing downwards from it just like the water.
Jewel: Oh wow! That really does sound amazing, especially to be copied by your capitol! ::She pauses, trying to picture it in her mind:: You must have to go up a big hill to get to your manor...
Euram: ::nodnod:: The entire city is built on the hill, with a large staircase right up the center. Dad had a statue of himself put up right in the middle… ::suddenly looks down:: Though it would be a great surprise if that still stood…
Jewel: Would you ever consider going back? ::After continuously munching on the snacks for a while, she was beginning to get full, and put down a fruit she was considering biting into.::
Euram:…I have…considered it a great deal, but do not believe it would be…prudent. ::looks away to cover up the lie of omission:: ..A..After all! I was such an important figure in the past, it would be..difficult should I be recognized. No..I fear I must suffer forever distant from my beloved home.
Jewel: ::Makes a slight pouty face:: That's too bad. I would have liked to have seen it some day. You make it sound so great...but hey! There's a lot of places I'd like to visit. And a lot I'm sure are quite a bit closer.
Euram: You would? Well…perhaps sometime but.. ::wants to be a kiss-ass but it’s also a touchy subject:: Yes, the world is quite large perhaps we even find some place which exemplifies the beauty of both our natural homes.
Jewel: Oh! I wonder if one exists! I think I'd be afraid to find such a place. I'm not sure I could ever leave.
Euram: ::turns to be completely facing her as they recline:: Ah, but if such a wonderful placed existed there would be no need! A wonderful hiding spot that only I..the two of us knew of. A beautiful dream indeed. It shall be our goal!
Jewel: ::She couldn't fight back another fit of blushing. This was getting to be quite the competition!:: T-that...is so romantic.
Euram: ::blush:: Ah well, a place as perfect as that could not help..but to be. ::cough:: Have you had enough to eat?
Jewel: ::Still being a little shy, imagining said scene, with the two of them together...except in her imagination Euram is a little more...well. Different.:: Yeah...I think I'm good now. B-but..It was really delicious! I loved it all! Ah...Thank you.
Euram: You are most welcome! It is a beautiful spot and spectacular weather…it would be a waste to not be able to enjoy them, and one would look quite silly enjoying it by oneself…hahaha.
Jewel: I don't think that's totally true. But...I'm glad to get to share it with you.
Euram: As am I. ::bows as well as one can while reclined on their side:: I have dined with Queen’s…and your company is on par with any princess’s.
Jewel: ::Was this blushing ever goign to stop? She almost hoped not.:: I'm sure that's not true!
Euram: Why would I say something untrue? I could not imagine lying to a lady! ::oh the irony of that statement::
Jewel: ::Yep. Gonna be blushing for a while:: Well...I guess I am a lady~ ::Flutters her eyelashes dramatically and fans herself with her hand::
Euram: There is no guess work about it, I do have an eye for these things of course.
Jewel: Of course~ I would never question your judgement! ::Finally getting over her blushing, but smiling a huge smile at him none the less::
Euram: ::enjoys the ego stroking:: Well, if we are both thoroughly fed, what would you like to do?
Jewel: Oh..I don't know. ::She looked at the blanket pondering, tapping her finger against her cheek:: Maybe we could go for a walk around the lake? I'm sure there are infinite views to behold just as wonderful as this one. ::She felt quite proud of herself for speaking so nobly, as she thought::
Euram: ::didn’t notice the change as the words sounded so natural:: Ah a splendid idea! With a light breeze upon the water and the sun upon the trail it will be just as in a fairy story! ::stands and readjusts his clothing, before remembering to be a gentleman and offering a hand to help Jewel as well::
Jewel: ::Takes his hand gingerly, but doesn't really put any of her weight on it getting up:: Thank you! ...now..what should we do about the food?
Euram: Huh? Oh… ::waves it off:: I’m certain someone else will take care of it.
Jewel: ::At first looks a little reserved:: You think so? Well...Okay then I guess! ::She's got more important things on her mind, anyway!::
Euram: Wonderful ::offers his arm:: Shall we be off then?
Jewel: ::Totally glowing:: Alright then!
What: They go on a DATE Picnic
Where: On the grass by the lake.
Jewel: ::She spread out a large blanket at a nice spot next to the lake, then looked around:: This should be good.....Wonder where he is. I hope I'm not early.

Euram: There is no guess work about it, I do have an eye for these things of course.
Jewel: Of course~ I would never question your judgement! ::Finally getting over her blushing, but smiling a huge smile at him none the less::
Euram: ::enjoys the ego stroking:: Well, if we are both thoroughly fed, what would you like to do?
Jewel: Oh..I don't know. ::She looked at the blanket pondering, tapping her finger against her cheek:: Maybe we could go for a walk around the lake? I'm sure there are infinite views to behold just as wonderful as this one. ::She felt quite proud of herself for speaking so nobly, as she thought::
Euram: ::didn’t notice the change as the words sounded so natural:: Ah a splendid idea! With a light breeze upon the water and the sun upon the trail it will be just as in a fairy story! ::stands and readjusts his clothing, before remembering to be a gentleman and offering a hand to help Jewel as well::
Jewel: ::Takes his hand gingerly, but doesn't really put any of her weight on it getting up:: Thank you! ...now..what should we do about the food?
Euram: Huh? Oh… ::waves it off:: I’m certain someone else will take care of it.
Jewel: ::At first looks a little reserved:: You think so? Well...Okay then I guess! ::She's got more important things on her mind, anyway!::
Euram: Wonderful ::offers his arm:: Shall we be off then?
Jewel: ::Totally glowing:: Alright then!
