RP channel logs: Hafwen, Kemeron, Kessik, Xadira

[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga sighs as he looks at a ding in a corner in the Minstrels Annex, and compulsively removes a tool from his belt to sand off the rough edges.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga flops down on the pillows in the Minstrels lounge, exhausted.
[RP]: Hafwen looks up, startled.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'Hafwen, sometimes I just don't know if there's enough energy in me to both see Lux and be the Warden for Minstrels at the same time.'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'She really wears me out.'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga rubs his eyes.
[RP]: Hafwen looks confused for a moment.
[RP]: Hafwen says 'Lux. Oh. Um, slow down then?'
[RP]: Hafwen giggles.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says '...Lux? You know, the girl who stays in my room most nights?'
[RP]: Hafwen nods again. She remembers. She smiles at Kemeron, but her eyes travel toward Kessik's usual spot.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga nudges Hafwen and points to where her gaze has shifted. 'So when're you two going to start the same, eh?'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga winks at Hafwen.
[RP]: Hafwen blinks and turns back to Kemeron, her face reddening slightly. 'What are you talking about?'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga waves his hand in dismissal and says, 'oh, nothing nothing I guess. I mean, that's what's going on with you, right?'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga meaningfully says, 'Absolutely nothing. No interests in boys for you.'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'Must've been seeing things.'
[RP]: Hafwen blinks again and looks at Kessik, her face going even redder. 'There's nothing between me and Kessik.' Her eyes, however, tell a different story.
[RP]: Kessik looks up at the mention of his name and smiles briefly, then goes back to reading his scrolls.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga leans over and whispers to Hafwen, 'I didn't say there was, why, do you want there to be?'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga snickers softly.
[RP]: Hafwen blushes furiously and shakes her head, not trusting herself to speak. Her eyes speak volumes, however, as she looks at the Algarian. Her hands trembling, she picks up her ever present mug of ale and drains it in one pull.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says, 'Oh, ok. Just checking'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'It's too bad, you'd make a good couple.'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'He's pretty handsome, too.'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga makes sure he's still talking too low to catch Kessik's attention.
[RP]: Kessik looks up again and raises an eyebrow.
[RP]: Hafwen blushes even deeper. 'He is, isn't he?'
[RP]: Hafwen clamps her mouth shut. Cursing silently, she glares at Kemeron, trying to shut him up.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga leans over and teases to Kessik, 'sorry, this is a private conversation,' and puts up a fake "wall" between his mouth and Kessik's eyes.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga winks at Kessik.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga pokes Hafwen in the side quickly, and lets out an 'mmm-HMMM'
[RP]: Hafwen blushes.
[RP]: Hafwen says 'Shush. '
[RP]: Kessik 'Oh?' He looks at Kemeron, then Hafwen, blushing slightly.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'Yup. '
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga leans over and whispers directly into Hafwen's ear, 'Like I said, too bad. I really could've sworn I'd seen you eyeing him earlier, too. I got hopeful for a Wanderers baby.'
[RP]: Hafwen coughs up the sip of ale she'd just taken, her eyes wide. 'B...baby??' She'd spoken louder than she intended.
[RP]: Kessik raises an eyebrow again, blushing even more. He had a feeling he was missing something, but wasn't sure he wanted to know what it was.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga loudly declares, in attempt to incite Kessik to interest and maybe a bit of jealousy, 'Please, you know I don't like 'baby.' I prefer 'sugarcake.''
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'Besides, I don't want Lux to get jealous.'
[RP]: Hafwen again speaking louder than she wanted to she denies it. 'There's nothing between me and Kessik.' She isn't sure who she is trying to convince.
[RP]: Kessik looks embarrassed and goes back to reading his scroll. His face is bright red and he tries very hard not to listen to the conversation.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'And again, I assure you I didn't say there is. You SURE have something on your mind it seems.'
[RP]: Hafwen blushes even harder, if it's possible, and looks at Kessik again. Unbidden, a tear springs to her eye and she wipes at it angrily. 'There's nothing.' She suddenly wants to be someplace else.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga suddenly goes wide-eyed and mutters, 'erm... sorry...'
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga looks very uncomfortable, uncertain how to handle this.
[RP]: Hafwen looks at Kemeron. She sighs, leans close to him and whispers 'I wish there was.' She looks at the floor, her heart beating wildly, afraid to do or say anything more.
[RP]: Xadira peeks out from the locker room, a very feline smile playing across her face. "Really?"
[RP]: Hafwen looks up at this new intrusion. She sighs, regretting climbing down from the roof this morning.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga mutters to Hafwen, 'girl's got good hearing.'
[RP]: Xadira laughs and winks at Hafwen. "I couldn't help but overhear the conversation."
[RP]: Hafwen blushes, refusing to look at the Dryad, or anyone else for that matter.
[RP]: Xadira eyes Hafwen salaciously "Well, if there's nothing going on between you two... Then I am free to make advances?"
[RP]: Kessik coughs and blushes, trying to sink deeper into his pillows.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga says 'Ah, why don't I leave you folks alone?' and mutters, grinning, 'I think I've done enough damage for today.'
[RP]: (Hafwen): 'No!' She gasps and covers her mouth, her eyes wide. Mentally kicking herself, tears spring to her eyes and she flees the lounge, sure she can never show herself in the clan hall again.
[RP]: Lord Warden Kemeron Terga pats Hafwen condescendingly on the head and walks off, brushing his hands together.
[RP]: Xadira looks around confused."Was it something I said?"
[RP]: Hafwen perches in her spot on the roof, her head in her arms, tears streaming down her face. Her carefully concealed feelings had been ripped open in that simple conversation, but surprisingly, she holds no grudges against Kemeron for it.
[RP]: Xadira runs outside after Hafwen. She looks around the building finding no trace for quite sometime until she notices the muffled sobs from above.
[RP]: Hafwen sniffles, unaware of her audience, and wipes at her tears.
[RP]: Xadira pulls herself up unto the room silently, finally locating the sobbing Hafwen. "I wish I'd known..."
[RP]: Hafwen sniffles again and looks up at the Dryad, not surprised really that she'd been followed. 'What can I do?' she whispers.
[RP]: Xadira sits down next to Hafwen and hands her a handkerchief. "You know Kessik. I've only been here for a few weeks, and I can tell you want he's going to do. He'll just hide in the pillows and not say a word."
[RP]: Hafwen giggles in spite of herself. 'He is rather shy, isn't he?' Sighing, she wipes away the remainder of her tears. 'I guess it's only fair to tell him how I feel, huh?'
[RP]: Xadira puts her arm around Hafwen's shoulders comfortingly. "Well, he's certainly not to going to say anything about it until you do."
[RP]: Hafwen nods. 'It's just that ... I've never ...' She stops. She'd been about to say "loved anyone before". She blinks, amazed. She did love him. That was the feeling she'd been chasing around all this time.
[RP]: Xadira gives a knowing smile. "It's kind of like falling isn't it? Only there's no floor."
[RP]: Hafwen nods. 'That's exactly what it's like.' She sighs again. 'I'm so afraid though. What if he doesn't .. well, you know.. What if he doesn't like me?'
[RP]: Xadira explodes in gales of laughter. "Not like you? How could anyone not like you? Hell girl, I've only known you a short while and you know I like you. If you he doesn't he's probably daft anyways."
[RP]: Hafwen says 'You like me?'
[RP]: (Hafwen): The concept of friendship is foreign to her.
[RP]: Xadira turns bright red. "You knew that. I'm too lascivious to hide it... Again, I'm really sorry about that back there. If I'd known, I wouldn't have said that."
[RP]: Hafwen blinks as this new discovery dawns on her. A friend. Amazing. She grins. Standing, she hugs Xadira fiercely. 'Don't worry on it. I didn't really know it myself.' She smiles.
[RP]: Xadira stops for a moment, a most sinister grin forming on her face. "You know what you could do?"
[RP]: Hafwen raises an eyebrow at the grin, afraid to ask.
[RP]: Xadira begins laugh hysterically again. "The prat's been eyeing that damnable scroll all day. Just snatch the thing right out of his hands and bolt somewhere a little more private. As much as they'd hate to admit it, the men-folk love chasing us."
[RP]: Xadira suddenly get serious. "Then you tell him you'll give it back for a kiss."
[RP]: Hafwen gasps in astonishment.
[RP]: Hafwen says 'NO! I couldn't do that!'
[RP]: Hafwen blushes furiously.
[RP]: Hafwen says 'Besides. You're a cute Dryad. I'm just .. frumpy me.'
[RP]: Xadira looks at Hafwen mournfully. "Frumpy? As much as you'd like to hide it, you're awfully pretty under all that."
[RP]: Hafwen blushes and looks at herself.
[RP]: Xadira smirks "A bath certainly wouldn't kill you though."
[RP]: Hafwen laughs. 'Yeah, a bath wouldn't hurt.' She looks longingly toward the lounge. 'Well, there's only one way to find out, eh?'
[RP]: Xadira giggles 'They're nice to have every once in a while... Go tell him. If he responds well, then you guys can run off into the sunset. If he turns you down, I'll mangle him.'
[RP]: Hafwen giggles. 'Will you come back to the lounge with me?'
[RP]: Xadira smiles softly, ruffling Hafwen's short blonde hair. "Sure. I'll even try my best not to grope you with my eyes while you're getting it out."
[RP]: Hafwen laughs and climbs down from the roof. She waits for Xadira before stepping back into the lounge.
[RP]: Xadira makes an impressive little jump from the top of the building, landing almost silently next to Hafwen. "All right pretty. No time like the present."
[RP]: Hafwen walks timidly into the lounge. Kessik still sits on the pillows in his usual spot, concentrating on his scroll. Hafwen's heart leaps to her throat and she turns to walk back out, almost tripping over Xadira.
[RP]: Hafwen whispers 'I can't do it.'
[RP]: Xadira holds out her arm to block Hafwen's path, her will-o-wisp buzzes over the vagabond's head threateningly. "Get your rear in there. It the perfect chance!"
[RP]: Xadira says 'You can do it. I know you can.'
[RP]: Xadira says 'Just breathe.'
[RP]: Hafwen blushes again and turns back to the lounge. As she looks at Kessik, a jumble of emotions well up inside her. With Xadira pushing her, she finally walks over to stand directly in front of him and says 'Kessik?'.
[RP]: Kessik looks up from his scroll, startled, unaware that anyone had entered the lounge.
[RP]: Kessik says 'Yes? '
[RP]: Hafwen blushes again and looks over her shoulder at Xadira for encouragement.
[RP]: Xadira seems to have DISAPPEARED! You'd almost think she wasn't there if it wasn't for the will-o-wisp floating near Hafwen, giving off a comforting glow.
[RP]: Xadira's disembodied voice whispers in Hafwen's ear. "You can do it!"
[RP]: Kessik looks at Hafwen, confused.
[RP]: Hafwen blushes again. 'I was .. wondering. Could I um... talk to you... in private .. about something? It's kind of important and if you're not busy, I was hoping we could go somewhere and ...' She stops. Mentally kicking herself for babbling, she waits for an answer.
[RP]: (Kessik): Puzzled but curious, he stands and nods, blushing slightly. 'Of course.' he answers in his quiet, deep voice.
[RP]: Hafwen almost sighs in relief. She turns and leaves the lounge, headed for her spot on the roof. She doesn't look to see if he follows, afraid if she does, he'll change his mind.
[RP]: Kessik follows Hafwen out of the lounge.
