Re: [Day 6: ME-LE] Bartheld Party Thread! (Open)

[Benedict Marsten]

"
I know. Its just that he generally only talks in his sleep when he's having a bad dream... about ... you know."


She seems to be considering something. "
But this time he was dreaming about you. And he sounded very happy. So..."


She puts her hands up to indicate she doesn't have an answer. "
Maybe you just drown at the bad dreams. That would be nice."

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Corrine nods slowly;


"
That would be nice, yes. Well, I hope that you both will have less bad dreams in future. You've been through enough."


She sighs, and finishes her drink.

"
Let's not dwell. How about some dancing?"

[Benedict Marsten]

"
Oh yes."
she finishes her own drink handing the glass to an attendant.

Her eyes pass quickly over to Ben and Athlestan, before returning to look adoringly at her big sister. I- we are so lucky. Thank you gods.

[Loreia]

He turns toward Loreia replying to her quip about his costume "
Well, my costume might seem to be patchwork - because it is - but a full mask on my face is the last thing I want. That would only hinder me from enjoying the delicious food that is served here"
as if to prove his point he takes two small boar meat skewers from the plate of a passing servant and bites into one of them.

In contrast, Loreia grabs a glass of wine, eyeing the meat on the second skewer that Kevan has yet to touch. "
Bah, I can barely see your face right now. All you'd have to do is lift it up...every time. So what? That black paint'd still help keep you lookin' like a faceless stranger."

[Benedict Marsten]

Hearing Jons name septon arlyn looks around the crowd and sees a women in a horse costume talking to the "
white walker"
and the man whom must be Jon,

"
Well after they finish their conversation I will have to go over and speak with him about making some acquaintances."


The septon, feeling so full that he can not stuff another bite into him, decides to sit down on a bench and take a rest, sipping on some grape juice and hoping not to have a horrible hangover the next day.

As Ellie turns to head to the dance floor she bumps into an unmoving chair, occupied by literally, a fat fool. "
Excuse me. My pardons, I hope I did not spill your drink."

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Excuse me. My pardons, I hope I did not spill your drink."

Corrine, looking off to the side as she follows Ellie, almost crashes into the back of her, and has to quickly sidestep to avoid an unfortunate collision.

"
Good heavens! Apologies, Ser."

[Ser Jorah Holt]

Seeing Septon Arlyn having to take a seat, for who else could that person be, he went across to check on him. He had only met the Septon yesterday, but he had taken a liking to the jovial and helpful man.

As Corrine sidestepped to avoid Ellie, Ser Jorah has to also quickly sidestep to avoid crashing into her.

"
Excuse me my Lady."

[Septon Arlyn]

As Ellie turns to head to the dance floor she bumps into an unmoving chair, occupied by literally, a fat fool. "
Excuse me. My pardons, I hope I did not spill your drink."

"
No worries young lady"
smiles the Septon at the exuberance of the young ladies dancing. "
I enjoy seeing the youth and vigor out on the ball. Unfortunately I am ill equipped to handle such festivities due to my lack of formal training as a dancer"
He returns with an easy smile and a small laugh and brushes a slight amount of the fluid that spilled onto his costume.

"
My dear,"
The septon gestures over to a serving girl, "
would you mind lending me your apron?"
As the girl gives him her apron the septon thanks her and dries himself off. As Corrine comes over the septon extends a warm smile.

"
Well how are you this fine evening? I am Septon Arlyn, Its a pleasure meeting you."


"
Oh and you must be Ser Jorah, I can recognize your voice, its good meeting you here. May the seven bless you."
remarks the septon, falling back into old habbits. "
But never mind that how are you enjoying this party? The food here is quite delightful is it not?"

[Ser Jorah Holt]

"
Indeed it is,"
Jorah laughed. So much for his costume. "
I've not had the opportunity to try any food yet. Can I get you anything my ladies?"
He bowed to them.

[Septon Arlyn]

"
oh ser Jorah I insist that you try the duck sausage and the bacon, oh yes the bacon"
the Jolly Septon smiled with stratification at the rich delicacy, "
you must try the bacon. The seven have granted many good things to this world. The beautiful sunsets, the mysterious stars in the heavens, but one of the sweetest gifts of all is a fat pig for juicy bacon. The candied almonds are nice if you are looking for a sweeter fare, but do not forget the sweet tangy taste of lemon cakes to clean your palate for some refreshing arbor gold."

[Ser Jorah Holt]

Ser Jorah raised an eyebrow;
he supposed a man did not end up that size without a love of food.

"
So the bacon is excellent tonight it seems and the candied almonds to die for. Shall we partake of the Septon's suggestions?"

[Benedict Marsten]

"
No worries young lady"
smiles the Septon at the exuberance of the young ladies dancing. "

The septon gestures over to a serving girl, "

As the girl gives him her apron the septon thanks her and dries himself off. As Corrine comes over the septon extends a warm smile..

She curtsies a small frown on her face. "
I am truly sorry. I am Ellien Blackthorne."

"
Well how are you this fine evening? I am Septon Arlyn, Its a pleasure meeting you."


"
Oh and you must be Ser Jorah, I can recognize your voice, its good meeting you here. May the seven bless you."
remarks the septon, falling back into old habbits. "
But never mind that how are you enjoying this party? The food here is quite delightful is it not?"

Her eyes light up, but she continues her courtesies by giving Jorah a curtsy and smile. "
The Ser Jorah, that sparred with Ben this morning?"


She continues to watch the septon go on about 'the bacon' and other foods.If he is as devout about the seven as he is food, then he should be High Septon.

When Jorah offers to partake she can not help but blurt out. "
The lemon cakes are very good."

[Baelon Drakeson]

Some time into the party, the Hrakkar leans to the Khaleesi and whispers:
"
Do you see Lady Sophia or Lord Blackwood anywhere? I told Kevan earlier that I would seek their good will for a match."


OOC: I'm playing a little fast and loose with the IC time due to OOC time. Baelon would have spent a significant period of time with Gwyn first, but sadly there's no OOC time to roleplay that out and do this.

Jorah smiled through his mask.

"
The very same and you are Ser Benedict's sister are you not? I do hope so, as otherwise that would mean I've mistaken yet another person for her and that would be embarrassing. Your brother is an excellent swordsman. I think I learned a bit from him as well."



"
Well, obviously I must try these lemon cakes and the duck,"
he said, summoning across the waiter, who thankfully had both on trays, "
but of course, only if you would all join me in doing so."

[Gwyneth Drakeson]

"
Oh, he talked to you too? Hm, lets see...we may as well take care of that at the same time then."


She scanned the partygoers, looking for people who matched the general physical descriptions of the Blackwoods.

"
I've already spoken to Sofia about Kevan, so why don't you start with her?"

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

Corrine curtsies to Septon Arlyn and Ser Jorah;


"
A pleasure to meet you at last, Septon. I am Lady Corrine Marsten."


It feels good to say that now. I'm not letting mother intimidate me into backing down. This is who I am.

"
And it is good to see you again, Ser Jorah. How fare you?"

[Ser Jorah Holt]

"
I am well and in fine shape with the aid of the Septon here."
He bowed to her.

"
At least this time, I know who you are, despite the masks."

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
I am well and in fine shape with the aid of the Septon here."
He bowed to her.

"
At least this time, I know who you are, despite the masks."

"
Well, my goal was embellishment, rather than disguise, so I'm perhaps easier to spot than usual,"
Corrine chuckles cheerfully. "
I'm glad you've been taken care of."


Her congenial smile turns a little mischievous;


"
Might I ask who triumphed in your sparring with Ser Benedict?"

[Baelon Drakeson]

"
I've already spoken to Sofia about Kevan, so why don't you start with her?"

"
Throwing me into the arms of another woman so soon?"
He says in a jesting tone.
I probably shouldn't have said that. Damn it, don't screw this up. Gwyn could still change her mind, and she's the best thing to happen to you in... well, ever.
"
Have no fear - I am yours and yours alone. Tonight I woo for another."

Words, words, words... that's not going to be enough to convince her I've changed. I don't know what will, though.

[Ser Jorah Holt]

"
Let us call it a draw. I was after all training your husband to be."
He plucked a piece of duck wrapped in bacon off the tray and took a bite.

"
Mhhmmm, you are right Septon, it is very good."

[Benedict Marsten]

Ben turns to Yoren after Ahtlestan and Lady Elize depart. "
If you would excuse me, I have two very lovely Ladies to find."
He bows courteously and moves away scanning the room.

As he nears the mummers he notices a rather short slim figure dressed as a white raven. No harm in asking. He taps the figure on the shoulder. "
Pardon, but is that you Master Daveth?"

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
Let us call it a draw. I was after all training your husband to be."
He plucked a piece of duck wrapped in bacon off the tray and took a bite.

"
Mhhmmm, you are right Septon, it is very good."

"
Then I believe thanks are in order. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skill. That is most generous of you."


Corrine follows Jorah in trying the duck, and makes a pleased sound at the taste.

[Daveth Coldbrook]

As he nears the mummers he notices a rather short slim figure dressed as a white raven. No harm in asking. He taps the figure on the shoulder. "
Pardon, but is that you Master Daveth?"

Daveth turns around, taking a second to place where he recognises the voice from. "
Ser Benedict! Yes, it is me. So much for my disguise. How are you?"
extending a hand to shake.

(OOC: And I suggest we break out to [url=here][/url].)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

"
Then I believe thanks are in order. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and skill. That is most generous of you."


Corrine follows Jorah in trying the duck, and makes a pleased sound at the taste.

"
I am sure he would reciprocate if needed. After all, we are allies."

[Lady Corrine Marsten]

"
Indeed,"
Corrine agrees cheerfully. "
House Marsten is truly blessed to have so many good friends. Long may our alliance last, Ser Jorah!"


She raises her wine glass in a toast.

"
To our friends, both present and absent."
