Booth and Elodie

Booth Braedon:
Booth’s Captain’s quarters were rather simple compared to the bar itself.  A central island bar accessible from all sides with tables along the walls.  A slightly raised stage on one end of the room for entertainment.  The floor was covered in peanut shells as each table housed a bowl of the legumes.  A pair of narrow stairs lead up to a second floor balcony that overlooked the room below.  It was quiet now, but would support a rowdy crowd.

The door leading to the back would normally support an office, store room and cellar access if this was a real pub.  Here in the estate it was just a small bedroom with simple furnishings.  A bed, twice as wide as a sailor’s bunk (because he could splurge here) and a large chest occupied the room.  A closed porthole gave the feel of being on a ship.  Booth would drop his pack in the chest and crash here.  No sense unpacking while on the road.  In the early days experiencing the Estate when he got blitzed, he didn’t even make it this far.

This morning was different.  He wasn’t alone.  This wasn’t the feel of one of Green’s phantom assistants.  Sure he had hugged those, but it hadn’t felt right to make use of one that looked like Elodie in some fantasy of his.  The wild memories that flooded his brain from last night though still felt like a dream.  Except he wasn’t alone.  There was warmth and soft skin and… he was naked.  He wasn’t dreaming.

Well, that wasn’t the first time he woke up naked, but he never remembered such a pleasant way of getting there.  He didn’t want to move and ruin it, but the memory of last night and the proximity of her body stirred something a young man had no control over.


Elodie van Gryff:
Elodie was naked against him, curled up under one of his powerful arms. Her hair was unbound fully, and spilled out like a thick downy blanket over her and him both. He had seen and felt more of it than he ever might have thought last night.

"Grab very close to the scalp, a nice good handful. Ahh, there you go. See, you can hold me in place, or guide my head as you please. But don't tug-smooth, gentle movements. You can really hurt someone, so this needs a lot of trust..."

The dreamy memory of last night faded and Elodie's eyes fluttered open. She yawned and stretched, catlike, then curled closer against him. A bleary smile curved her lips.

"Good morning, Captain. I hope you enjoyed last night's tour as well as I did." One arm drifted across his chest and rested there lazily, fingers curling in the short hairs. This was Elodie as he had never seen her-not teasing, haughty, or even comradely. She looked at him with affection and desire, openly admiring him with her eyes and hands.


Booth Braedon:
(Whoa, had to check the game rating.  Didn’t expect this from Elodie.)

Booth had this goofy half smile he couldn’t get off of his face.  That look in her eyes though was something he never wanted to end.  Heck, right now he never wanted to get out of this bed!

His face took on a more serious look as his lust returned.  His hand snaked into he hair on the back of her skull.  He gently but firmly took a fistful and then guided her lips to his as she had taught him in answer to her question.  His hands repeated things they had learned from last night.  Just practicing, He would claim if called out.

At some point reality kicked him in the brain.  He sat upright with a start, “Oh shit!  How long does this spell last?”


Elodie van Gryff:
It's nothing crazy, and in PM, so as long as DM amd players are alright it should be! Not like anyone audits these unless they are called in, anyway.

Elodie's eyes bulged in surprise as Booth so confidently pulled her up into another kiss, but her eager return of the torrid kiss and soft groan of pleasure revealed her feelings on it. She squirmed in response to his questing hands, now knowing the cost of telling him all her weak spots.

His exclamation drew a laugh from her, though, still laying on the bed as he sat up bolt upright.

"Long enough, Captain. Long enough." She said, then sat up behind him and began to massage his shoulders comfortingly. As she worked, she murmured magic words, which flowed over his body as golden mist. In the wake of the mist, he would find himself feeling as clean as if he had just emerged from a hot tub of soapy water.

"I know we can spar and spit, Captain, and we'll probably continue to do so. But I trust you with my life every day, on this journey. Truth to tell, I think our rivalry even made the sex better." She laughed, then affectionately kissed the side of his neck.

"So, if you enjoyed yourself as well, then please feel free to let me know. And if not...well, it was a lovely dream, and need be no more than that."

"OoohhhHooo."  There was no avoiding letting her know when he enjoyed something.  It was like she could draw those little gasps and groans out of him at her whim.

"Yes.  Very much enjoyed myself.  More than I've ever enjoyed myself.  No, no dream.  More, I want more."  He was certain he should have said something much more eloquent than that.  Suave wasn't really a tag anyone would have used for him.  He was just riding the wave and didn't want to get off.

His hands reached around and caressed her as she worked.  The magic was a nice touch.  Lot's of uses for that.  But he really shouldn't be thinking like that.  They would never get out of the bed!

She leaned harder into him as he caressed her, the massage stopping as she buried her lips in his scalp and dragged her nails over his chest. Finally, though, she found the strength to slip away from him and crawl off the bed, breathing out her own golden mist to soothe her aches and clean he body.

"Good!" She said at last, looking at him again, once more looking noble even without a scrap of clothing on. "Then should you ever desire it, please, come by my quarters. Just as I may come by yours?"

"Why limit to just quarters?"  He said with a grin.  Of course it made absolutely no sense.  They were out in the middle of an unexplored region and here he was thinking of only one thing and anywhere he could do that one thing.

Maybe after breakfast he could think straight again.

Still, the bolt he had loosed so carelessly did strike home. A flushed smile stole over her face, and she gave him a wink.

"Perhaps if we can find somewhere safe, Captain. Perhaps on that floating edifice, so we can see the whole valley before us."
She bent down and picked up her shift, slipping it over her shoulder to begin what Booth had learned was the surprisingly complex task of putting on her clothes. Seeing him still staring, she came over and bent to give him another kiss.

"Come on, now."
She said after breaking the kiss, speaking inches from his face. "If you remain indecent, I'll have to do so as well, and I'm sure you'd rather not tumble out when the spell ends in flagrante delicto."

She purred the last few words in elven, figuring he'd pick up her meaning from context.

Booth snorted.  She was right about that.  He had no interest in the others seeing what she just saw.  He stood and started getting dressed.  His outfit was much simpler, breeches, a pull over shirt and boots.

As he was pulling on his boots, "Safe?  Where's your sense of adventure?  You wouldn't be out here if you liked it safe."  He winked at her.  She wouldn't have picked him if she liked it safe.  Then again, he was probably the only other human in the region and maybe she just had needs, but that didn't cross his mind.

"Pfft! I was *forced* to go with this party by that bloody wretch managing the temple! This was the only way I could get out of my father forcing me into a convent as a girl."

Elodie cinched the fur-lined pelice she wore over the shift but underneath her main robe into place, then got back in the bed on her knees, wrapping her arms around Booth from behind.

"You know, some might say you and Zoccola basically kidnapped me. A poor noble girl, innocent and pure, torn between a sorcerous goblin and a saucy rake!"
She pouted and played at sniffling.

“Innocent.  HA!”  A laugh escaped before he could stop it.  “That’s a hoot.  You sure have them fooled.”  He wasn’t sure what he had expected, but she certainly knew way around the bedroom better than he did.

“I guess that gives you an out.  If things turn belly up back in civilization, just run with that and they’d let you off.  Claim Green ensorcelled you.  Then tell everyone how incredible I am in bed.  At least I can have that Legacy when they hang me.”  He didn’t trust that he would get any sort of leeway or consideration if he got arrested.

He paused suddenly and turned around to face her.  “What do you mean torn?”

Elodie waved a hand dismissively.

"A bit of artistic license to lend color to what is otherwise a bald and unconvincing narrative!" She said, as if that jumble of gold-coin-words explained anything to anyone.

She scooted off the bed and plucked up her thick exterior robe, carefully arranging it just so before tying up the belt.

"...what? Don't look at me like that! I didn't mean I'm sleeping with Zozo, just that it's the image people might take! They'd probably think she wants to eat me or something, rather than be my best friend in all the world."

"Huh?"  Artistic license wasn't his thing, or at least she had lost him there.  He shrugged.  It wasn't like they were going to see civilization for a long time.  They had a Giant tyrant to bring down first.

"Sounds like something someone who was charmed would say.  I think you have your cover story down."  He wasn't paying much attention.  He would just beat the snot out of someone who tried to charm him.  His eyes wandered to her belt to see how it would come undone and he had chosen to not comment on the 'eat me' statement.  His cheeks did redden for a moment though.  All sailors had heard many a lurid tales on that subject, but he now finally understood WHY someone would want to try that.

Damn she wore a lot of clothes.  He was done dressing in moments, but it would take a heck of an effort to get her undressed again.  Must be part of the foreplay.  How many layers was that?  3?  4?  No wonder she kept referring to meeting in a room.  Just getting to the point to be intimate was going to be a huge effort for her.  If she took any longer, he would be ready to go again and just rip those clothes right off her.

"Ready, your highness?"  He moved to the door and prepared to open it with a wave of his hand to allow her to cross ahead of him.  That was like the second gentlemanly thing he had done recently.  It about tapped out his knowledge of such things.

"Almost...almost..." Elodie said, gingerly adjusting the pointy hat she had taken to wearing since they left Dwarven. "There! Perfectly witchy!"

She went out as he indicated, proceeding with him to the more public areas of the estate.

"I'm glad you had a good time, Booth."
She said as they made their way. "It's been a long, scary time out here. It's easy to lose sight of it, but we've lost so many in such a short time. Some have died. Others fled. Others turned evil, or went mad. You and Zozo are the only ones from the beginning still around. I'm not saying that's why this happened, just...well...I'm glad to have people I can trust. Who I can be honest with. Vulnerable with."

"Ha!  In the beginning we had nothing but our fists.  Had to scrap and bite to even get a weapon.  This short sword I picked up then lasted me until the enchanted dagger showed up recently.  Now we are inundated with magic.  How times have changed."

He also has learned a whole lot about women in that time too.  He had a few gripes to hash out with those sailors who had their fun with him by making up ship about girls.  In the end, it worked out in his favor.  He was sleeping WAY above his weight class.  It would be fun to march into a seedy pub with Elodie on his arms and see all their faces drop.
