ᴄʜᴏᴋᴇʜᴏʟᴅ (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[PoisonousIvee]

She blushed softly and handed him back his helm, "Very well done, sir Knight.." She praised.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Thank you, fair Lady..” he said. “All for your honor..”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She hummed happily and gave a soft bow at the knees before moving back into the stands, the crowd cheering once again for Tadgh.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Tadgh took his victory lap, and was soon off the track and making his way to the stables, and the smith.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"You were amazing, m'lord! Incredible! I've never seen a man with such strength! You took Sir Luke straight from his steed!" Matthew praised, bright and wide eyed as he walked with Tadgh to the stables.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Thank you Matthew, I’m sure it was only due to your efforts.” He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Me?!" He seemed to enjoy the compliment immensely, "I didn't do anything but help you prepare!"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“You prepared very well. Thank you.” He said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Of course, lord!" He replied, pulling the horse into the stable so he could remove his gear and clean him.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He moved back towards his own area, more than ready to remove his helm.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He gave his sword and armor to the smith for maintenance, ready to call it a day.
"Sir Tadgh," Synne approached him as he left the smithy, "smiling softly at him, "do you have a moment?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He stopped completely and bowed respectfully. “Of course, Lady Synne.”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Father and I wanted to have a dinner in your honor tonight. I would- ah...that is to say we would enjoy your company." She said.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He bowed again. “I would be honored..” he said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She smiled and bowed her head, "I am grateful that you would accept. Any time you are available, you're welcome into our home." She said before moving closer, "And perhaps, if I am available, I can grant you more tokens.." She said quietly.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He resisted the almost painful urge to pull her close. “Is.. that so..~?”

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She nodded, "If I can find a moment tonight, would you allow me to intrude upon your home...?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“You are always welcome in my home, Lady..” he said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Then I look forward to seeing you.." She said, wanting to give him some kind of affection, but knowing she couldn't in the open like this.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“As I, you.” He said. He felt it too, the burning, the need

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She curtsied gently and walked back to her horse, where she mounted up and rode away.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He watched her go, his heart yearning to run after her. Not yet.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Later that night, he arrived at the keep and was greeted happily by servants who took him to the dining hall.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

He was dressed nicely, wearing a ceremonial breastplate over his nicest clothes. His hair was loose, and he made sure to thoroughly clean himself. No sense in arriving filthy.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

When he entered the dining hall, Edwin stood from his seat, "Tadgh! My boy! I'm glad you could make it!" He said. Synne stood and moved to follow Edwin over, dressed in a fine gown that hugged her thin waist and extenuated her wide hips.
