The Winter Veil Party

((Feel free to post in any order, and multiple threads at once is fine. I'm not picky.))

Midnight

It was the night before Kirenestus's banquet, and already his estate was a flurry of activity. Small runestones dotted the grounds. Their glowing runes cast blue light on the plants that the Tauren tended. Due to the corruption in the soil, the effect of ( Read more... )

Thistle arrives... thistle_chaser December 27 2012, 00:36:32 UTC

Thistle's day started different than usual, but not because of the party ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... prettyredeyes December 27 2012, 01:04:49 UTC

The Lightrends arrived together, riding side-by-side as they arrived at the manor's gates ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... thistle_chaser December 27 2012, 01:44:34 UTC

Thistle turns at the sound of his name, Penny circling around behind him, not quite turning to face the newcomers, so she can try to keep an eye on everyone ( ... )

"That took you a minute," Traejan replied, looking mildly amused. He took a moment to look Thistle over as well. "And you have.. clean clothes. Yes, all is as the tome indicated, I see.."

Tarin pursed her lips a moment, peering at Traejan as she tried to decide if she detected an insult in his words. She decided to let it go a moment later, looking back to Thistle pleasantly. "Thank you! You look nice yourself. I brought something for you too, but I'm sure the gift exchange will be later on. After we eat, at least."

Solandis was dressed in his best armor, parts of it glowing purple. He had a hood pulled low over his face, and held his runblade in front of him, its tip resting on the ground. The runes on the blade glowed brightly, throwing strange-colored light around the death knight. His smell was...still unpleasant, a slight smell of something rotting. He watched them quietly, and when it seemed as if they were just going to stand there, he cleared his throat.

"I know you all. Come inside. Thistle, the stable is adjacent to the house. You may leave Flight there. Penny and Holly are welcome inside. Tarin, Traejan, there should be room in the stable for your horses, as well." Solandis opened the gate, then said, "Please leave the ghoul outside for tonight, Traejan. It is difficult for the living to eat around the mindless undead. Anthalan will be in the stable and will be happy to watch him while you're inside."

Thistle looks down at himself, shifting Holly into his other hand. "Yes. They're clean," he agrees; if there's insult in Trae's words, Thistle sounds as though he missed it. He looks between the two, Trae getting a somewhat worried look and Tarin getting a more trusting one. "This is Holly," he nods down to the sleeping kitty held against his chest, his second hand coming up to hold her as well, protectively. "She was my gift ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... prettyredeyes December 27 2012, 02:19:49 UTC

"She's adorable!" Tarin leaned forward a bit to get a better look at the tiny sleeping kitten. "What a wonderful gift. I'm very happy with the gift I received but I have to admit I'm a little jealous of yours.." She straightened up and looked to Traejan again. "Isn't she precious? She's much, much cuter than Sasha. Surely you can appreciate that ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... thistle_chaser December 27 2012, 02:32:55 UTC

Thistle appears pleased at Tarin's reaction to the kitten. "Yes," he agrees, tone proud. When she leans in for a better look, the kitten wakes and yawns, small jaws spreading wide, her red tongue curling. Once finished, she blinks at the stranger, then extends a paw towards her, tiny claws visible poking out from the dark fur ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... prettyredeyes December 27 2012, 02:45:00 UTC

Tarin looked barely able to contain herself when the kitten reacted to her presence, but she politely placed a hand at her lips and simply smiled instead ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... thistle_chaser December 27 2012, 02:55:16 UTC

Thistle has his hands full with the kitten as the two Lightrends see to their mounts. A new place! So many new sights and smells and sounds! Holly wants to get down! Thistle planned for this though, and pulls a bit of jerky out of his pocket, waggling it to get the kit's attention. He holds tight to one end of it, letting her bite and lick the other. Penny looks up hopefully, but Thistle shakes his head no to her.

Thistle watches the ghoul open the gift, multiple emotions visible on his face: Acceptance, yet distaste. Unease, but also the look of one lost in fonder memories of other times.

No reaction from him when Trae speaks, Thistle just stands there, eyes distant and ears a'twitch. When Holly lands a bite on his thumb instead of the jerky, he startles out of it, blinking first down to her, then over to the death knight. A blank look at first, as if Thistle had lost track of where they were. Then a blink and expression returns. "I didn't know what you would like. I knew what a ghoul would."

Re: Thistle arrives... prettyredeyes December 27 2012, 03:09:49 UTC

Traejan lifted a brow as Thistle seemed to fade off into his own thoughts for a bit, particularly after the spectrum of emotions the hunter had displayed just prior to that. "... Right. I would say it was a bit of a cop out since I wouldn't tell you what I wanted b--"

"But it's the thought that counts, of course," Tarin finished for him, hooking her arm around Traejan's as she attempted to maintain the pleasant atmosphere without snarky commentary -- even if the pleasantries had been going hand-in-hand with an awkward tension so far.

"... Yes. Of course," the death knight added flatly. "We should all see to the party now, hm?" He scooped up the gifts the ghoul had left on the ground nearby, ready to bear them into the party proper.

Re: Thistle arrives... felknight December 27 2012, 03:13:22 UTC

Anthalan stepped out from the shadows in the back of the stable and looked over the windrider and the two horses. Besides the guests' mounts, there were a handful of other mounts in the stable. A skeletal horse nickered at Anthalan as he passed, and the elf gave the horse a loving pat on the head before turning to greet the guests.

"Welcome, all of you. My name is Anthalan Duskweaver, I'll be keeping an eye on everyone out here while you're inside." Obviously, he was doing more than just manning the stables. One of the gargoyles dropped down to the ground and talked to him in the Scourge tongue /Master, more guests approach. Two females./ Anthalan nodded and said, "Keep an eye on them." He smiled at the guests. "Kirenestus is waiting for you inside. Please, step inside. I'll make sure your ghoul is well cared for out here, Traejan."

After her horse had been stabled, it was the wolf that caught her attention, and she followed her gaze up to the few elfs that stood there, approaching fearlessly with her hands on her hips and smiling widely up at Thistle.

"If it isn't the farmer!' She looked up at the wind rider with raised brows. "Should've ridden the goat." Her black eyes stayed on Flight for a moment, then looked back at the tree and tilted her head, causing a sickening crunching sound somewhere in her throat.

"I will meet the rest of you inside, then, no point in staying in the stables all night!" Then she melted into the night.

Clack, clack, clack, came the sound of her heels from the darkness as she headed towards the estate.

Re: Thistle arrives... thistle_chaser December 27 2012, 03:24:01 UTC

Thistle looks between the siblings, following the conversation but not joining in. Holly is trying to make an escape again, so he needs both hands to keep hold of her. He nudges the other box to the side of the aisle with his foot. He glances around for the person Solandis mentioned, Anthalan. If he can spot the man (who assumedly will be the only person here Thistle doesn't know), he'll make a quick stop to him, explaining the other box is for Kirenestus, but isn't really a gift, and certainly isn't really an inside-gift ( ... )

Re: Thistle arrives... prettyredeyes December 27 2012, 03:31:38 UTC

Traejan gave a nod to Anthalan, having met the man once before and finding him competent enough to entrust him with his ghoul. "I'm sure. It is appreciated." He was still visibly displeased at having the ghoul anywhere but at his side, but there was nothing that could be done about that.

He spent a moment eyeing the Forsaken woman briefly, knowing at once who he was observing as he noted Thistle's hand going to his gun. His lips curved in a small smirk, following her with his eyes as she turned and made a noisy exit.

Tarin moved closer to Thistle as she picked up on his discomfort. "Is everything alright?"

"I'll just be inside then. See the rest of you there.." He turned and headed out of the stable and toward the house, wanting to find a place to set his gifts down now that he no longer had a pack-ghoul to cart them around for him.
