Alistair quickly plastered a smile back on his face as he returned back to speaking with more of the guest, some of them even offering one or two actually good business propositions, but the more they spoke the more he realized that something was sitting in the back of his mind that just would...

For all of the looseness and joy that Alistair was feeling as he slowly gave into the moment around him, Katja would certainly feel that spike of stiffness return as she settled her head onto his shoulder. However, just as quickly as it was there, Alistair forced it away. That stiff...

Alistair did his best to ignore his own blushing as he saw her one before accepting her hand. He was already trying to spit out some better excuse besides the obvious fact that he just wanted to dance with her. "None of the items are moving, and today is still a day for celebration, I believe."...

The smile fell, settling into a relaxed grin as Katja smiled back up at him—the blush from her embarrassment mixed with the blush already on her face from their brief dance. It was rare to see someone look flustered and completely relaxed at the same time. He knew that he tended to become a...

For all of Alistair's negative self-description, Katja would soon be able to realize that his sense of rhythm was not all that terrible, one of the benefits of being a fighter accustomed to the cadence counts of a drill sergeant. No, Al's problem with dancing was rather simple... The man danced...

Now at the door, Alistair paused to turn back and finish his conversation. This all felt incredibly natural to him, like this was the extension of their days at the Academy. Both of them's minds turned to their work in distinctly different fields while still equally interested in each other's...

Was it that obvious? What was he thinking, of course it was obvious. Yet, as she took his hand and her glowing smile lit up her face, his reasoning really did not matter. At that moment, she needed to dance with someone, and he was there. Al did his best to hold her properly, one hand still...

Alistair inwardly winced at her words as he could feel that hidden sting of loneliness that she was just recently freed from. He should not have said that, or more he should have just... A book nearly slipped from a pile that he was carrying, so he hastily placed them on a table not wanting to...

Alistair stepped into the room in an almost trance-like state. Every time he found an aura to focus on and follow, another one appeared to distract him. It was overwhelming but in the best way. There were arcane mirrors clearly made by the fae, even a book on the northern lycanthropy strands. He...

Alistair was yanked to his feet as he let himself once again be pulled through the halls of this now-empty estate. He had already planned on inspecting the entire abode to find anything of use, but he had expected such treasures to be hidden in studies or laboratories. Their excursion to a...

He followed her swig with a swig of his own but nearly coughed up his drink at the unexpected compliment that followed shortly after. Where had that come from? Doing his best to fighting off the coughing fit that followed, he finally caught his breath. "Uh, thanks, it's all about the root...

Sad? Well, he doubted it was sad when they had lived likely only because they had managed to kill the creature. Some dragons were intelligent, but just as many were nothing more than overpowered wild beasts that sometimes needed to be put down. "I'm sure you can find one, and if you meet the...

Katja's antics had Alistair laughing drunkenly as she darted from idea to idea. He couldn't remember the last time he so casually laughed like this, but he would admit it was nice. She was right, there was a lot to do in the world, but if you tried to do it all at once it could get a little...

She was right, of course. Alistair was totally killing the mood for no good reason. He turned his bottle upwards as he finished the rest of his own to keep pace with Katja. A smile now spreading across his lips. "There are a lot of really unique places out there. Allirian wine is nice and the...

"You do certainly have a knack for timing." Alistair happily admitted as he continued to drink his own bottle. Without any runes supporting his system, Alistair was not the heaviest of individuals and could feel the warmth from the beverage finally spreading through him. He could sense the...
