He lips drew into a thin smile in response to her look. Something more innapropriate threatened to break out, but such a wizened elf would never let his control break. "It was a fantastic surprise and is exactly the kind of event I enjoy," he replied. "And for that I am very grateful. But my...

He smiled from one corner of his mouth. Draedamyr glanced over at Seska, still unaccustomed to keeping his gaze to level. He turned back to the painting he was admiring. There was nothing rude or uncomfortable in the silence. It was simply time taken over a decision. "I think that after our...

"I chased a name for myself in my younger days," he said. "Not the same thing. I never went after power over others. I just wanted a little fame and respect. And lots of gold." He drew her a little tighter into his side. He had lost track of local customs. There were places where the slightest...

Draedamyr smiled at her comment. "You and I have lived in very different homes," he mused. It struck him that he had barely called any places home over the years. He had come to call several cities home, but had owned few actual abodes of his own. Few had ever felt like home and he had barely...

Draedamyr collected two glasses from a passing server. Draedamyr took a sip but almost immediately choked on his drink. He had been trying to find a way to level insults at the guests without being too obvious. Seska saw the opening and drove a proverbial hatchet through it. He collected...

"Well then, let me enjoy a touch of controversy to start the evening. You know, as a younger elf I used to find topics to stir up trouble just so I could be duelling. No sword fights tonight." He offered a little smile. She had arranged this little evening of entertainment but it's end would be...

"As if I would be so crude," he protested weakly. He ran his hand up her spine. It was a strange experience to be affectionate and not have the same profile beneath his hand. Strange, whilst a little exciting at the same time. Perhaps today he was more immersed in fae culture than he had been at...

"How long would be fashionably late?" he mused. He turned them down an open cobblestone alley and between two shops. It was a short path to meet the canal that bisected the city. Humans were expansive. They would churn the land for miles on end to form these canals that allowed oxen to pull...

Hah it was not a complaint!

"I should not be surprised by each new trick and yet...I always am," he mused. It was difficult to get a strong reaction out of the ancient elf. She managed it again. A slight ripple of anticipation almost visible as she twisted his meaning. It was a new experience to walk arm in arm with...

Ooo yes I need to pick up some more threads. It seems like a very long time since I wrote with Ulva during the pandemonium... Because it is a long time.

"But on the other hand, you are all dressed up and we are...here..." He waved to encompass the room and took a longer sip of his wine. It wasn't particularly good anyway. "Did I say how amazing you look?" he asked, tilting his head to one side. The gesture, her dress and that sparkle he...

"You didn't have to... But I'm glad you did," Draedamyr said. The moment where excitement and confusion peaked was past and into that space came a warm gratitude. She still received an arched eyebrow for the impression. He turned the card over in his hand. Long elegant fingers rolled or...

"There will be no succumbing to wine," Draedamyr said firmly. That little flash of lightning had come and gone, but in response came the weight of the rolling thunder. He leaned forwards across the table. "Because it seems that tonight would be better served by starting and finishing with a...

His look was thoughtful as he inspected the card. She knew his tells now. His expressions were always subtle. Draedamyr was intrigued. "Some real civilisation," he commented, offering a smile. He enjoyed the finer things in life. Plays, art and wine. They were usually to be found in cities...
