Bert spent the day between soaking in the bath and rolling around in his bed. The horse riding with Gisela hurt him a lot more than he expected and his groin was on fire - in a rather displeasureable way. While he had the maids bring him breakfast and lunch, he figured he'd go get something from the kitchen himself for dinner. He was in his ( Read more... )

Wolfram had spent the whole day yesterday with his soldiers, out on petrol. The day had rushed pass him and before they knew it, it was night.

Cheri found herself aimlessly wandering the halls. She had been doing that quite frequently as of late. She just couldn't seem to put her mind at rest enough to drift to sleep, so instead, she spent the night hours walking the halls and enjoying the stars when she came upon a window.

Cheri sighed happily as she took in the mildly decorated dining hall. Okay, so maybe it was slightly overdecorated, but less was more. She carefully shifted a drape and moved a wine glass or two in the right direction before nodding to herself. Everything was perfect.

Cheri grinned as Blood Pledge Castle grew closer and closer. The smell of sea water faded from the air, and instead the crisp scent of baked bread and stone greeted her. It was both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time. Blood Pledge Castle was what she considered her home, and yet, she was a wanderer. She supposed that it was a trait that she ( Read more... )

The morning passed in a swirl of events and getting used to the changes in the castle.  Even so, Lady Cheri had matters well in hand.  Her invitations were sent out all over the castle to round up her sons and any Lords and Ladys that might be in residence (or hiding!).  The efficiency was astounding.

Shouri had been busy playing the latest in dating rpg's. It was going well till a certain character popped up that reminded him way too much of that blonde boy that was always hanging on his brother in Shin Makoku. He glared at the screen a moment before turning the game off. That was so not cute at all. Who wanted a girlfriend who was an absolute ( Read more... )
