A Day for Guests

[Fehu Isa]

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she comes out out of the kitchen with a pitcher of mead time to start feeding the Jarls:::

Acheron Sinis: Herrold had already been fed,...But he could use some of that mead Timid was coming out with.

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] :;she is pouring mead as she goes.but hurrying towards him.she rubs agains him as she pours mead into his horn:: Greetings Jarl

Acheron Sinis: He smiled to her.."Greetings, girl.." he patted to his lap for her to come warm it.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::walks up the stone steps into the hall banging the doors open then slamming them shut behind them with another loud bang he liked making a entrance::

Acheron Sinis: he casually looked to the one entering..

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::he tosses her long brown hair back from her face.she smiles and slides into his lap. she looks to the door and is startled by the Bang::

Acheron Sinis: He then smiled to the girl...Holding his cup up for her to pour that mead.

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she leans forward and pours the mead into the offered horn. filling it full careful not to spill any.::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::he would smile to the girls giving a tweak or pat in passing moving to his customary spot at the table couple of sailors moving over for his large bulk as he sat down::

Acheron Sinis: He smiled to her...Then lifted his cup and drank.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::taking his horn he held it up for the passing maid to fill. When it was filled he would take a deep gulping drink, belching loudly:: By Odin that is good!

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she smiles would probably writhe if she was not so sore::

Acheron Sinis: ~BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRp~ It sure was..

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::laughs::

Acheron Sinis: Now that...Was a belch.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Who be ye lad I donna think I've met ye yet....

Acheron Sinis: "Herrold...And who are you..?"

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Khorvaire Mathayus. Ah yes I met yer woman the other day a fine lass lucky man ye be

Acheron Sinis: "ahhhh...You're the Ass..."

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Most likely ive been called by many a flattering name

Acheron Sinis: He let the girl slide from his lap..

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ass pirate raider, murder thief but flattery will get ye nowhere with me ::grins and raises his horn again::

Acheron Sinis: "From how I hear it...You didn't like her much...On account she was a southerner.."

Annique AIIure: :: she moved down from the room smiling softly as Warin did something funny , she moved into the main area::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Aye aint got much use fer em other than as slaves and manual labors but to each their own I always say

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::;she slips from his lap and hurries to go refill the pitcher with mead and hurry to get to pouring even as the other girls set to serving food::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] but fer a southern she didn't seem so bad a sort but then I just met her

Acheron Sinis: "Well...That's a good thing...As long as you leave mine alone." He smiled , then drank from his cup.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Bah ye be of this hall me axe fights beside yers the same as it does any mans and while she be yer woman it will be raised against any who would do her harm

Acheron Sinis: "Warms my heart to hear a man talk that way.." he looked to him.."shows true hospitality.."

Annique AIIure: :: she heard Khor then she glanced over to Herrold seeing if he needed a drink but seeing that he was already drinking she moved on over to where she could get her something to drink::

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she hurries back into the kitchen and reills the pitcher and hurries back. passing by Jarl Khor.:: Jarl more mead?

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::tweaking Timid as she passed:: Aye lass Aye And food if their be enough for the likes of me ::chuckles:: Ah Speak of the Woman Good Day lass

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she winces at the tweak as she is bruised up all properly now.she pours him his horn of mead.::Yes arl I will go get you a couple meat pies right now.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Good Im hungry enough to eat a bondsmaid or three

Annique AIIure: :: pouring her some water she then moved back over to take a seat next to Herrold:: Tal :: she then looked to Khor and nods softly:: Tal Sir

Acheron Sinis: He smiled to Gilda...Moving his hand to her thigh with a squeeze.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::just grins and chuckles:: Tal to ye too

Annique AIIure: :: she glanced to Herrold and smiled softly lifting the goblet to take a drink::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] but Lass Sir do wound me heart when ye call me that either Khor or Khorvaire if ye please I do nay stand on ceremony

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::she darts back to the kitchen and loads up a plate with two of delights great meatpies. and hurries back to serve them to the Jarl.:: I brought you two::she laughs:: then you will only want to eat 1 bondmaid.

Khor Mathayus:[/color] dessert ::laughs:: good point. I must save room for dessert Ha!

Annique AIIure: ::hearing him she nods softly::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] So Herrold be what trade do ye claim

Acheron Sinis: "Well...I rather like her calling you and all the other good men here...Sir...Keeps the honest men honest. And my woman from being bounced by accident into a circle.."

Khor Mathayus:[/color] well never will it happen from me

Jarls Tempest:[/color] ::laughs:: there are many sexy deserts running around here. ::;she then goes back to serving. moving towards the Mistress:: Mistress would you like one of Delight's meat pies?

Khor Mathayus:[/color] i got me own maid and me own woman

Acheron Sinis: He looked to him..."And of course...Keeps me from causing a slight case of death to occur.." he smiled..

Annique AIIure: :: ohh she glanced over to Herrold then to Khor before she looked to the girl:: No I am fine

Khor Mathayus:[/color] Sir is what the bilge urts call me when I kick em fer being lazy

Acheron Sinis: "hehe...Oh well...Get used to it."

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::smiles thinking 'ah he believes in natural death cause his dagger in a heart quite naturally causes death'::

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::takes a meat pie and digs in with very little of what are they called oh yes table manners but he didn't miss a bite::

Acheron Sinis: He reached for the pitcher set to the table by another girl and he poured himself some more mead..

Bondmaid Timid:[/color] ::;she hurries into the kitchen to put meat pies on plates::

Annique AIIure: :: she glanced to Herrold as he did that :: I could have gotten you more : she smiled softly to him:

Acheron Sinis: He looked to her and smiled with a wink.."No worries...it was within my reach.."

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::he would eat through the second pie and washed it down with a horn of meade draining its contents completely with a sigh and another loud rumbling belch he would rise:: Well met it was Herrold always good to have new blood about the hall

Annique AIIure: would you like some of those pie things

Khor Mathayus:[/color] But I got me a ship to build so I bid ye Be well

Acheron Sinis: He looked to him...And he nodded..."Be well."

Annique AIIure: :: she turned to Khor and smiled softly:: be well Sir

Khor Mathayus:[/color] ::he would smack another maids arse as he walked towards the door banging through them and outside kicking the door closed behind him::

Annique AIIure: :: she saw him leave then turned to Herrold::

Acheron Sinis: he watched him go...He was not smiling...Be fucked...Was more what he wanted to say... But there was plenty of room on the tether yet..he then looked to his love..."I almost didn't recognize you coming in here...With that funny walk.." he smirked softly..

Annique AIIure: : laughs softly :: it is the kirtle Love heavy thing it is :: grins;:

Acheron Sinis: "Ahhh...That's what it was.."he chuckled..

Annique AIIure: :: she leaned in to kiss his cheek softly:: so do you wish some of those pie things

Acheron Sinis: He put his arm around her and ~BURRRRRRRRRRRRRP~.."ooooo..!" he grinned..He'd been doing that a lot lately..

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to him and laughs softly:: good mead hmm

Acheron Sinis: "Ohhh yesss..." he smiled wide..."the best.."He had to admit...The mead there was fresh and delicious.

Lady Kessa: The remnant of sleep washed from her eyes, the cold water spashing down into the basin as she leaned over it. Sleep had fallen hard upon her, and she'd succumed to its embrace too long. Careful hands braided her hair and twisted it up to security at the crown of her head, her deep red gown of wool brushing the tops of her feet as she made her way out into the hall with a faint arch of her back. Bustling, as ever, she cast a smile to those around as she made her way toward her seat.

Sasha Ankarrs: :: the group of 6 men came towards the hall..one seemed to be carrying one on his shoulder , she was just looking around cause it was better for her no walking:: are we there yet...cause I am cold!:: the guards smirked then Nic sentone ahead to let any guard of the hall to know they would be at the hall soon ::

Acheron Sinis: When one of the men of the caste came in and looked for Papo...They of course found Herrold..They were all warned about his change in identity..The one who entered approached him and let him know..Sasha was on her way.. Herrold gave him a nod..

Annique AIIure: :: she glanced over to one of the guards ..hmm he seemed a little familiar then she glanced to Herrold::

Acheron Sinis: he then looked over to the lady of the hall..He smiled to her with a bow of head..."Tal, lady Kessa.."

Lady Kessa: The guard speaking to Herrold was followed with oceanic blues as he moved back toward the door, her eyes only flicking to Herrold when addressed. "Tal, Jarl Herrold. There is not trouble, I hope?"

Acheron Sinis: "None at all.." he smiled to her..

Annique AIIure: Tal Lady

Franz Castellan: ::he had come in from the docks, he had been gutting fish and probably reeked, he wouldn't like anyone really to gain ten paces on him without..surviving:::Tal !::was cheerfully said as he entered::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: soon they were at the front door and a knock was heard...Nic still had Sasha over his shoulder due to herwanting to go back to the warmth!..she moved her hand to the hood of the thick cloak she was given to wear and closed it to cover her face::

Acheron Sinis: That was just fine...Herrold reeked too.

Lady Kessa: A sigh as she settled into her seat, she'd slept on something hard last night. "Tal, Lady Gilda." She swished her hand out at Sweetness as she passed, the girl by now knowing the Mistress needed tea and something sweet to break her nightly fast.

Acheron Sinis: The men would of course let Nic in...

Franz Castellan: ::he sauntered over to his seat::Tal Kessa..cover your nose

Annique AIIure: :: she looked over and smiled:: Tal Sir

Acheron Sinis: "Tal, brother.."

Lady Kessa: "I am pleased to see you. I have been so occupied of late." She had been busier than a two peckered bosk in mating season, frankly, but that was the price one paid. She looked at Franz and lifted a brow, her hand lifted and she wondered why, the smell of the docks on a Jarl was pungent, yes, but she had long ago grown used to it.

Franz Castellan: Tal Gilda...Herrold ::brightly thinks about marketing the new perfume, but keeps it to himself::So..how are you all?

Annique AIIure: : ohh there was that smell again she glanced to Herrold then to Franz and it seemed to get stronger::

Acheron Sinis: Ahhhh yesss...That sweet smell of Parfume De`fishe`shit..

Sasha Ankarrs: :: Nic gave a nod to the guard then stepped into the hall and was lead over to the area that Herrold was at. She froze a little ohhhh nooo she heard that voice ....she kept that hood covering her face::

Acheron Sinis: He then looked to the door...Very much expecting that was Sasha being escorted in.

Annique AIIure: :: laughed softly then she looked to Franz:: doing better :: then as the guard stepped in ...pooor Nic had his hands full which she expected::

Lady Kessa: She chuckled softly and looked Franz over. "Better than you, I suspect, My Own." She kept her eyes pinned to the door and the entourage entering, her tea and roll set before her untouched for now. "Tal, Lady. Welcome." She was nothing if not hospitable.

Acheron Sinis: He then looked to Nic...With Sasha over his shoulder..

Franz Castellan: Ah, well thank Odin for providing us with water to wash in::he grinned::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: noo it was not him...not up here! it was cold! she spoke softly:: Nic put me down::growling softly::

Acheron Sinis: He grinned looking over to Franz, hearing him say that..

Franz Castellan: Tal..Lady::he squinted then and wasn't sure if he had actually met her sober yet or not::he did vaguely remember her::

Acheron Sinis: Then his dark eyes went back to his near daughter.

Franz Castellan: ::of course no longer the alcoholic was he:::

Annique AIIure: :: ohh this was going to be interesting so she just sat there and glanced to Herrold then back over to Sasha::

Acheron Sinis: He was standing now...A nod given to Nic...To bring her on over to him..

Sasha Ankarrs: :: Nic of course set her down now that there was no where for her to run, but seeing Herrold he walked on over then set her down hard before Herrold::

Lady Kessa: She lifted her tea and sipped at it, her eyes never departing from the scenario unveiling itself before her, the fire crackling and warming the hall, the candles and lamps lit so it glowed with that new-wood gleam. A glance shot toward Franz, she smiled when the cup was lowered and set her warmed fingers on his cold nape, turning her gaze back to Sasha.

Acheron Sinis: Of course...Sasha would not know who he was yet...He was looking pretty haggart...Hair, beard and unkept cloths..And smelling like...Well...Smelt..And something far worse mingled in.

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she blinked:: heyyyy now ....that is just rude..:: she stood up and still not looking to any one she needed to fix her appearance first clearing her throat she spoke softly:: excuse the guard...and Tal ::that is when she slowly

Franz Castellan: ::he smiled brightly of course at her arrival even if it was slightly undignified::

Acheron Sinis: He now crossed his arms to his chest...Looking to her..

Sasha Ankarrs: looked up and what the hell....she looked to Herrold and wrinkled her nose ...but she was polite and stepped back smelling him her nose quickly straighten::

Annique AIIure: :: she lifted the goblet to hide her face taking a long drink as she watched::

Acheron Sinis: He was to say the least...A bit upset with her. He had been repeatedly sending for her...
..
Sasha Ankarrs: :: glancing around she smiled softly she remembered Franz so she nods to him then offered a smile to the Lady ::

Acheron Sinis: Finally...He told the men to bring her at once...Even if they had to tie her and put her in a burlap sack..

Sasha Ankarrs: I am sorry about being brought here but ...would you happen to know why?

Acheron Sinis: "Because I had been repeatedly sending for you...Young lady.."

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she glanced to Herrold and mhm she took another step back only to bump into Nic::

Acheron Sinis: He lifted a brow..

Sasha Ankarrs: :: blinks and uh oh , that step back and stumble she almost fell on her ass hearing him::

Acheron Sinis: "You've been...Avoiding me.."

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she leaned in to look close:: Pape? what happened to you ? :: yeah she was avoiding answering::

Acheron Sinis: "the one and only...I got a new make over and wrinkle job....Why were you avoiding coming here..?"

Franz Castellan: ::he just listened, in his head he was planning the duty roster for the next hand::

Annique AIIure: :: Gilda just held in the laugh as she looked to her try to explain her way out of this ::

Acheron Sinis: He now had to wonder what asses were sniffing around her...Who he had to kill next..

Franz Castellan: ::he put his hand on Kessa's although before doing so he wiped it on an already dirty tunic and placed it back down:: I must go and visit the clinic Kessa...is the physician still here::he needed his jab::

Sasha Ankarrs: you look...old Pape...you need sleep...so as a healer that is what I order for you sleep... longgg... nice... naps...

Acheron Sinis: "ANSWER ME."

Sasha Ankarrs: I have been busy Pape:: she hated when he spoke loud like that ::

Lady Kessa: She looked down at Franz and nodded. "Three of them. You'll find one in attendance even if the others are out tending your people, my Jarl." She jumped at the shouting and frowned at Herrold, but kept out of it, turning her attention back to Franz.

Acheron Sinis: "Busy....I see.."

Franz Castellan: So..what have you been upto? I have already been thinking about the duty roster for the next hand

Sasha Ankarrs: Yes there is always wounds to tend to...women whom are giving birth

Acheron Sinis: He walked a little closer to her..." I hear....There was a man sniffing around you.."

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she wanted to step back but of course Nic was there, she looked over her shoulder knowing Nic had sent word then turned back to him:: yes but ...But Nic was there the whole time along with all the other men too

Lady Kessa: She lifted her cup and sipped. "I have been sleeping. I fell into the furs as if I had been overrun by a bosk and did not stir until a few ehn ago." She was trying to keep from eavesdropping, but it was not easy.

Acheron Sinis: "Mmmmmm....So I hear...But with no reports...As usual...To give to me.."

Annique AIIure: :: she would let Herrold handle Sasha , she needed to get back on track and not run around and get herself hurt:

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she pointed to Nic:: that is his job right?

Acheron Sinis: he looked over to lady Kessa...

Acheron Sinis: "Lady...I understand you have an all female hall..yes..?"

Sasha Ankarrs: :: as he turned she elbowed Nic::

Lady Kessa: Setting down her teacup, she nodded. "Yes, I could not bear to tear the original hall down, so I thought it best to provide a place for ladies who have neither family nor companion to shelter themselves and be secure. It is guarded of course, warm and comfortable, and not even a stone's throw from the back of this Hall."

Sasha Ankarrs: :: Nic was getting used to the elbow and that didn't bother him in fact at times he didn't even notice::

Acheron Sinis: he smiled nodding...it sounded like a paradise to him.. "ahhh...Wonderful..." he then reached and gripped hold to Sasha's arm...And brought her over to Kessa..

Sasha Ankarrs: : blinks as he grabbed her and moved along knowing better then to pull away :: but...but ..

Acheron Sinis: "Brother...And fair lady...This is my near daughter, Sasha...She is in dire straights of a nice well guarded hall....With only women to bother her.."

Annique AIIure: :: she would glance over to Herrold and cants her head slightly ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: urgg she glanced to him:: but .....

Franz Castellan: Ah....Well we can provide that Brother

Acheron Sinis: "Would you mind if...Ohhhhh...thank you, my brother..." he smiled to him..

Sasha Ankarrs: Papee....

Acheron Sinis: "She cooks...Cleans...Darns socks..Underwear...And she is also of the Green Caste..": He smiled wide..

Sasha Ankarrs: :: blinks...socks...underwear...yuck::

Franz Castellan: She is? Ah, excellent::he smiled::

Lady Kessa: She looked at Sasha and smiled, a warm smile meant to alieviate worry. "Tal, Lady Sasha. I am most pleased to meet you." She was not a fool, and the hall was guarded by men, though they were the more...scarred and grizzled men, and not the most suave. "A physician? Good. There is always call for more of you around this place. Odin knows they're always cutting themselves or dropping crates on their toes." She would not sink to tormenting the girl as it seemed the men enjoyed doing.

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she turned and looked to Kessa: Tal Lady Kessa and well met

Franz Castellan: I am sure by now the men have a huge pile that need stitching....::he kept a deadpan expression on him::

Sasha Ankarrs: stitching I can do that

Acheron Sinis: "Excellent...She will definitely earn her keep.."

Franz Castellan: of underwear

Sasha Ankarrs: ewwwww

Franz Castellan: I ..vaguely remember meeting the lady sasha

Sasha Ankarrs: I saw the men here they are huge ...biggg underwear huge...can you imagine:: shudders::

Acheron Sinis: "they'll never know they had any holes.."

Franz Castellan: the cliffs..seem familiar

Sasha Ankarrs: ::looked to Franz:: yes Sir....with Cat

Franz Castellan: Ah well..ah..the mad old woman with the notebook

Acheron Sinis: He looked to his daughter..."Yes...All too familiar.." That...was going to stop.

Annique AIIure: :: she was shaking her head softly then she spoke softly:: Sasha?

Sasha Ankarrs: ::grins:: yes she has that notebook that I help her with at times ::laughs softly::

Acheron Sinis: Herrold was not smiling.

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she then turned hearing her mother's voice and looked over to Gilda a brow lifted:: Ma?

Annique AIIure: :; she smiled and nods softly standing up as she set the goblet down , then just waited for it ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she turned and hurried over to her and just hugged on to her tightly:: Ma!!

Lady Kessa: The honey painted bit of bread broken off, she nibbled as she paid covert attention to the seeming reunion of mother and child. Glancing over toward Franz , a slight suffusion of pink rose in her cheek and she bowed her head to concentrate on finishing her slice of bread and tea.

Franz Castellan:::he turned to Herrold:: is the lady difficult?::the question was poised so as to be enquiring enough not to be offensive::

Acheron Sinis: "Well...Not in a controlled envoirment.." he spoke softly... Essentially...Sasha was a good young woman...she just seemed to attract disrespectful men who had mighty balls instead of brains.It seemed if he wasn't running them off...he was killing them off..

Annique AIIure: :: she just held on to her then leaned back and looked her over:: where have you been we have been worried about you ::she spoke softly to her ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: leaning back as well she looked to her hair and cants her head....wondering why but would ask later...she spoke softly:: there are many would need healing Ma...and when Treajen just disappeared:: her voice trailed off::

Acheron Sinis: Not that it would do to rid the world of stupid men...But it wasn't his job...Unless paid...

Annique AIIure: :: she nods softly and she clearly understood::

Acheron Sinis: "He had a 12 envar old slave..." he added..

Franz Castellan: ::he nodded and listened to Herrold, he knew if he had a daughter she would not be allowed near men until she was at least fifty and would wear enough robes to sink a warship from Cos::

Lady Kessa: She brushed off the crumbs from her dress and lips before she rose and stepped away from the high seat to walk off through the kitchen, the door there would lead outside and down the man-made hill to where the original hall, now the hall of uncompanioned women be they guests or citizens.

Annique AIIure: :: she looked to Sasha:: he didn't hurt you did he?

Sasha Ankarrs: : she glanced to Herrold then turned back to her Ma;:: no

Acheron Sinis: Herrold didn't like the idea of a man having a girl that young...there was something wrong with him..

Sasha Ankarrs: Pape..:: she spoke softly:: did he send word to you ?

Acheron Sinis: He kind of looked away... "You're done with him...Time to move on with your life."

Sasha Ankarrs: :: nods softly:: there is one that wanted to travel with me to the city....that is the one that Nic reported to you yes?

Acheron Sinis: He nodded..."forget that one too." He then looked to her..."Its time you met real men.."He had given her the chance to seek on her own...With ten guards no less..

Sasha Ankarrs: I have Pape:: nods softly::

Lady Kessa: The guards outside of the door snapped to attention, as it were, when Kessa approached and with one of the many keys on her waist, unlocked the door. Stepping inside, she let the door close behind her and took in the sight of a hall once-familiar as her own heartbeat. The long fire was burning, some of the alcoves which lined the walls like covered bunk beds along the walls. Privacy by the heavy woolen curtains assured. There were a few closed at the moment, so she walked quietly and made sure there was a place set up for their new guest, the guards let know, the cook Ilsa would act as something like 'house mother' and keep tabs on her as she did all the girls. Clean clothes, stocking and shoes, underdress of cream and an overdress of deep green with a cloak that matched were laid out in wait for Sasha's coming. It was not terrible cold, but there were few days that icy rain did not fall.

Acheron Sinis: "No...I mean...REAL men.."

Sasha Ankarrs: oh ...that

Acheron Sinis: He said to her sternly..."Not the kind that think with their little heads."

Sasha Ankarrs: I do not think I will ever...it is too cold here

Acheron Sinis: "dont worry about it...I will do the worrying now."

Sasha Ankarrs: little head? ohhhhhh :: blushed:: and swollen big heads

Acheron Sinis: He looked to her gently.."Right.."

Annique AIIure: :; she looked to Sasha then over to Herrold she gave him a soft smile just glad that she was here and safe::

Lady Kessa: She'd walk back, locking the door behind her, and ascend toward Tyr'Odal again.

Acheron Sinis: "Gilda...Take her please...To her new hall.."

Acheron Sinis: He looked to his woman gently..."And explain to her why we have makeovers."

Annique AIIure: :: nods softly she moved to Sasha and lead her over placing her cloak on ..she was still getting used to the weather, then she moved from the hall to head over to the other ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: looking to Herrold she smiled softly and as usual she moved to him a quick daughterly hug before moving out with her Gilda...and yes Nic right on her tail..habit now ::

~ See Reply 1 ~

Franz Castellan: ::he smiled at Herrold::she is a handful old friend?

Acheron Sinis: "she is a good young woman...she needs...Guidance.."

Lady Kessa: Ships that passed in the night, as the saying went, she was returning as the ladies were leaving. She sank down in her seat and patted the droplets of rain that clung like diamonds into her hair. She laid her hands in her lap, a keen look at Herrold. "You wish her protected and safe. We will do our best to see she feels comfortable and secure without feeling she is captive, Jarl Herrold."

Acheron Sinis: "I greatly apprieciate that, lady Kessa.."His head bowed respectfully to her.

Lady Kessa: She dipped her head in return, then glanced to Franz with a smile. She was still not an expert in the life she lead, but she was trying hard. She knew that Sasha would be safe. That while the men patrolled the outside, inside of Gerderlaug, the ladies' hall, it was a hen coop.

Franz Castellan: ::he saw Kessa's smile and put his hand at rest again:: she will be fine and she will be at ease soon

Acheron Sinis: A few of Herrold's men entered the Hall..Letting him know the others were spotted coming. Herrold nodded...Then looked to Franz... "I know my family is safe here."

Franz Castellan: Always Brother::he didn't call any Brother apart from Herrold and Taz::

Acheron Sinis: He slipped his hand to his shoulder.

Franz Castellan:::he noted his men enter the hall..::what's the fuss?

Acheron Sinis: "I had to call a little meeting." Herrold looked to the men in the hall."Tell the men I'll be out in an ehn."

Franz Castellan: ::he turned to Herrold::and then ..quirked a brow::oh?

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Franz.."I'll make this quick, my friend."He smiled to him...Then he headed out the door to meet with the men.

~ See Reply 2 ~

Lady Kessa: There was something pleasant in the idea of having company, but yet to know they were 'a meeting' of Herrold's kind was bit disconcerting, though she trusted Herrold, and had not yet had reason to doubt his actions in the least.

Franz Castellan: ::he shifted in his seat slightly as Herrold walked out and he looked at Kessa::did you see the physician yet ?

Lady Kessa: Pulled from her reverie, she looked to Franz and shook her head. "no, Franz, with the work they've been doing, it is not easy to get in. Those who truly need them should come first."

Annique AIIure: :: she moved back to the hall since Sasha was now resting..she felt so much better to have her here...and yes even in the other hall she knew would be the safest place for her ::

Franz Castellan: Hmm..yes well don't leave it too long my dear?::he smiled at her:::

Lady Kessa: She nodded, she'd not leave it a moment longer than the physican did. The moment she was called to attend, she'd be there. A smile set to Gilda at her return, she spoke. "Lady Gilda, I hope that the Lady Sasha is settled alright? No doubt it must be hard for her to be in a new place. But we'll all do our part to see she is made feel welcome and safe."

Annique AIIure: :: as she stepped back in she removed her cloak and set it to the side moving over to get her something warm to drink. She looked to Kessa and smiled:: oh she will be soon...she needed to rest from the long trip, thank you Lady Kessa

Lady Kessa: "Of course, Lady Gilda." She smiled, it was no great pain to be hospitable. Had Herrold and Gilda not been fine guests and good company? "Perhaps she will find comfort here and when Lady Lorelei returns to Cos, we will not be without a physician." She was hopeful, always. Now they just needed a blacksmith.

Acheron Sinis: He walked into the Hall. His expression somewhat thoughtful. He did what he thought had to be done.

Lady Kessa: "All is concluded, Jarl Herrold?" Inquired as he returned to the bosom of warmth where the girls were tending the jarls having their lunch, though Fire would saunter by and offer up a horn of mead with a wicked glint in her eye, the need to serve others forgotten for at least a few moments of lingering enjoyment of the Jarl's scruffy proximity.

Acheron Sinis: "Yes, lady...All is concluded. All is well." He took the offered horn from Fire..he gave her a nod to send her off to serve others then made his way over to Gilda and sat beside her.

Annique AIIure:: :: she glanced over to Herrold and smiled softly::

Lady Kessa: She noted Franz's quick exit. He was like that. Tending to business being the more important portion of his day. She did not bear him ill will though. She looked between Gilda and Herrold, hoping her presence was not the reason for silence.

Acheron Sinis: Not at all. She was not the reason. He was in thought.

Acheron Sinis: ~BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP~ But that mead...it was the best! "My pardon.." he smirked..

Annique AIIure: :: ohhh she blinked then and looked to Herrold now that broke her from her thoughts::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to the ladies.

Annique AIIure:gas hmm

Acheron Sinis: "Just a tad.."he smiled..

Annique AIIure: :: she winked to him and grinned::: would hate to hear if it was more then a tad ::laughs softly::

Acheron Sinis: He chuckled..."I think it would come out the other end..'

Annique AIIure: maybe if you did that on the docks....might give it a different smell

Acheron Sinis: He smirked.."My love...down there, farts on the wind would smell like lilies of the valley."

Annique AIIure: :;laughs : well then you are helping hmm?


Acheron Sinis: He grinned..."Just as delicate...Compared to the odors down there.."


Annique AIIure: :: she leaned to him and kissed his cheek softly:: always the helpful one you are My Love


Acheron Sinis: "Mmm..." He grinned...

Annique AIIure: :; she then thought of what he told her and ohh there was a smile on her face ::

[Fehu Isa]

Annique AIIure: :: once at the other hall and letting them know whom they were they were allowed to enter and soon were told there Sasha would be sleeping and there she would explain everything to her about all that was going on ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she was quiet as she listened then she noted the clothing that was set out , that was nice of them, and since she was in thin robes she sat down as her Ma continued to talk taking the stockings and things holding them on for now;

Annique AIIure: you will do fine Sasha you are strong and will adjust :; speaking softly to her ::

Sasha Ankarrs: :; she nodded softly:: I know Ma but ....how long are we staying here? and I also know that the one that wanted to follow me will track me down

Annique AIIure: well we will handle it if he does...but I do not think it will be that easy for him to do.

Sasha Ankarrs: :: softly nodded hearing her Ma then she looked around then back to her::

Annique AIIure: now rest for now and we will catch up some more alright ?

Sasha Ankarrs: :: she nods leaning in to hug on to her :: I am tired of being on Nic's shoulder :: smirks and leaned back::

Annique AIIure: :laughs softly she looked to her:: ohh I knew you would give him a hard time...:: she rose then and winked to her:: rest now :: she then smiled and moved to head back to the other hall::

Sasha Ankarrs: :: a soft laugh came from her and yep she wouldn't admit it but she did need rest and as soon as she left she moved to do just that

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::Gustav and his riders had made good progress , slow but good - they were dressed for the part and had finally seen the next major landmark they would encounter::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] His men and kaiila were riding to the Fehu territory. He was there for the meeting that Herrold had called.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::he was dressed as a northman, they had ditched the southern clothing pasangs ago::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] He saw in the distance other brethren of the black. No doubt they too were on their way to see Herrold. He recognized a few familiar faces.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::they stopped maybe a few pasangs outside on the forest trail leading to the settlement::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Soon, they came to a halt on their beasts, just outside the hall.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::the settlement seemed well patrolled and he didn't want to take unnecessary risks just yet::so he just continued his slow ride up the trail, non threatening:::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Angel had forty five of the brethren with him.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::Gustav just had the five, the rest were....busy:::

Acheron Sinis: Cal went outside now...He addressed Angel and his men.."He'll be out...Give him an ehn."

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::Gustav was cautious, maybe overly - but still it had kept him alive this long and he was not about to break the habit:::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Angel was just sliding off his mount, looking to Cal and he gave a nod. The others with him also got off of their beasts. They would wait patiently now.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::eventually they found their way to the area by the large Hall:::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Angel looked over to Gustav. He gave a nod.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::the riders jumped off - and tethered the beasts::they were filthy having rode hard for days::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to all as he walked out..."Tal, brothers.."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] "Tal." The rest all greeted...Heads nodding and some calling out.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] Tal..::Gustav had not been north for a while..maybe sixty years or so::

Acheron Sinis: "This decision hasnt come lightly..I want you all to know.." He looked to all...Very seriously.. "I have decided...One of you...Will be the bait. The rest of you, will stay undercover."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] His brows raised. He looked to him and listened.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::he turned his head to listen::this was turning out to be an interesting day to say the least::

Acheron Sinis: His dark gaze panned to all the men there..Then..They settled on Angel. "You...Angel. You're the bait."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] He merely stared to the Elder at first. Then he looked away.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] :Gustav turned to Angel::that was the thing about this business you never knew one day to the next what was going to happen::

Acheron Sinis: "Stay out in the open. We need to fish out who is hunting us. The rest of you...Stay in touch. I want reports every hand."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] He said nothing. They all did as they were commanded.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::he quirked a brow::we are being hunted?

Acheron Sinis: "Dismissed." He then looked to Gustav...And motioned him over..

Acheron Sinis: He would speak low to him..

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::still that was all he needed to know:and he moved into speak with him::

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Angel walked over to Herrold as well. After all, he was to stand in the open. He was bait man.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::his voice lowered to a mumble::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Gustav and to Angel. "As I hear it....An Assassin left a mark alive. Now...We all suffer. We are all hunted."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] "Why dont they make that ass stand out in the open?" he asked sarcastically.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::Gustav didn't ask the ins and outs of it but he had to agree with Angel::

Acheron Sinis: "He aint one of ours." he looked to Angel.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] who is it?

Acheron Sinis: "If he were...he would be." he looked to Gustav..."I dont know."

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] Alright do you need me here?

IsNotnAngel:[/color] He nodded then. He moved off and climbed to his beast's saddle.

Acheron Sinis: "No...I want you to find and inform Ost."

IsNotnAngel:[/color] Angel then rode off. His mission was clear.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] Ost..::he looked up:very well....::Gustav turned then and motioned his men to follow::they leapt onto their beasts::

Acheron Sinis: He looked to Gustav..."You will keep Ost with you...Until I have an assignment contracted out."

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::he looked at him::Ost will be looked after. you have my word

Acheron Sinis: He nodded...

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::he grinned::Guard duty

Acheron Sinis: "Long shadows, my brother."

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] Walk well Brother

Acheron Sinis: He nodded and headed back into the Hall after seeing all depart..

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::and with that he turned the beast away from the settlement, the group wound its way back into the forests::

Acheron Sinis: Like he said...It would be a quick meeting...Those who were there would now spread the word to those who could not.

Jerico Able Cain:[/color] ::his men would follow::
