Lek Gerthrim
Player, 574 posts Sat 15 Dec 2018 at 23:43 | The Keep - Main Hall"Getting sashes to use to bring the food up." Lek said, dropping the sashes on the floor next to the hole. "I think it's enough."

Yehudit Buckley
Player, 1002 posts Sun 16 Dec 2018 at 02:43 | The Keep - Main HallYehudit looked at the sashes. They were not very different from the sheets she used to tie together to climb out of windows to escape doing chores at the inn. Several falls into the bushes taught her the best knots. She sat on the floor and began knotting the sashes together.

Dyfrig

"We just need some stout fellows to haul away, now."

Player, 672 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 03:33 | The Keep - Main HallSileas turned to Wulfsen. "Why don't you and Lek help with that?" She raised up on her toes and whispered in his ear, "I'd like the chance to watch you flex your muscles."

Wulfsen Thornblade
Player, 1068 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 03:39 | The Keep - Main HallWulfsen blushed, but he grinned too.
"Lek, come over here and help." Wulfsen called to his page.
He took off his dress jacket and neatly hung it over a chair. He loosened his collar, then removed his cuff links, dropped them in a pocket, and rolled up his sleeves. He stretched his arms and shoulders, flexing his muscles for Sileas's benefit.

Player, 576 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 03:42 | The Keep - Main HallLek wiped his eyes and turned from the window. He had no appetite, but the sooner the feast was served the sooner this could all be over and he could leave. He went over and took up one end of the makeshift rope.

Player, 1069 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 03:50 | The Keep - Main HallIn reply to Sileas Thornblade (msg # 94):
Wulfsen winked at Sileas, loosening his collar another two buttons. He picked up the sash rope.
"Okay Lek, let's lower this slowly- don't want it to drop on someone's head." Wulfsen planted his feet and slowly pushed the bench into the hole and began feeding rope.

Lek Gerthrim
Player, 577 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 03:55 | The Keep - Main HallLek lowered the bench slowly with Wulfsen's help. Lek had built up a lot of muscle while training so this was not as hard as it looked. His thoughts traveled to Pinja. He wondered if she was safe where she was, outside of the magical barrier Bai had set up. He wished he could protect her, that Pinja felt safe enough to accept his protection.

Player, 674 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 04:21 | The Keep - Main HallSileas grinned at Wulfsen and winked back, before he and Lek started lowering the bench. She didn't know why everything always had to be so difficult, but at least this was enjoyable.

Wulfsen Thornblade
Player, 1070 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 04:25 | The Keep - Main HallWulfsen relaxed when someone in the kitchen rested the bench on top of a work table. He casually undid a few more buttons on his shirt for Sileas's benefit as he waited for the food to be set on the bench.

Lek Gerthrim
Player, 578 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 04:39 | The Keep - Main HallRaising the bench was a lot harder than lowering it- trying to keep it steady while loaded with so much food was not easy. Lek's biceps bulged against his sleeves.

Wulfsen Thornblade
Player, 1071 posts Mon 17 Dec 2018 at 04:41 | The Keep - Main Hall"Quick- someone take the food!" Wulfsen was straining now, not flirting with his wife though she would now have a very nice view of his chest muscles at work.
