#earthrunes

He rummages through the linen.

ANd a key falls out of the towel hanging up, the one marked 'his'

"I found it!" he sounds surprised. He takes it and comes back to the ladies, his tatters a bit... loose.

"Brilliant!" she says, and then purrs, "Oh, yes...positively wonderful," as he returns with a bit more flesh revealed.

He unlocks them, checking for chafing and any other damage.

"You're ok? Both of you?"

"Our hero," Coradel says, pulling him down for the reward of a kiss. Then she murmurs, "Yes, I'm fine. Leo?"

"VREY Glad someone had a towel in there" Leonora smiles "I don't remember much but I'm pretty much at least one of us ladies literally asked for that"

"Might have been funny, though, if you'd had to call a locksmith."

Of course he wouldn't have had to. Cantrips can be versatile.

"I think you made me watch that movie." August blushes.

She smiles. "You enjoyed it, when you weren't questioning the plot."

"Oh dear, he can be a critic if he sees a plot hole can't he?" Fond though

"Just a tad," she nods, stroking August's cheek.

"I think it might depend on the film."

"Any, ah, memories?"

"Well, we started in Earth Runes I know that"

August nods agreement "Coradel and I entered the ballroom and she opened the Samhain celebrations."

Coradel knows that the sluagh were actually in big numbers that night, the tattered designs appealed to them greatly

"The theme seemed to appeal. And so many of Zara's compatriots...and they added to the whole atmosphere perfectly...." smiling at the memory of a successful soiree. "But...I'm not sure...after the mists descended...." She reaches for whatever bit of memory she can grasp.

As does August, sitting back on his heels... oops, his tatters gape.

Coradel enjoys the view, and doesn't do a thing to draw his attention to the wardrobe issue. "I think..." she says as she stretches out "...there was something about Sir Earl being made to dance ballet?"

"And...a taunton drinking from the punchbowl..."

"I think I remember drinking punch...." August looks worried.

"Oh wow, some party if we brought in stable animals." A pause as Leonora confesses, "I think there was some game I tried to start called Two Sluagh in a Tea cup but it got shot down"

Coradel laughs. "I wonder by whom!"

"I don't think we've ever before woken away from the hold on the day after." A smile to August. "I guess you got greedy, wanted to have us to yourself." It doesn't sound like a complaint.

"I do like when he asserts" Leonora purrs

August frowns. "How did we get here?"

"That I don't recall" Leonora says

"Oh, I imagine any number of ways. You might have tossed us, bound and gagged, in the back of a truck. Or the back of a Knight's Heart car," she adds, amused by either idea.

"FOr that matter, after SIr Earl's ballet performance he could have just flashed us here"

"I wouldn't.... do that."

Even as he says it he second-guesses himself.

Leonora says "August, you wouldn't have tossed us bound and gagged either way if we hadn't wanted to play along IF that's what happened. Like Coradel says, cantrips are handy"

Coradel gives her a brow. "I'm pretty sure he would have, Leo, if we challenged him enough, whether or not we were in on the game. In his unseelie clothes..." she pauses and trails a finger down August's neck to his collarbone and then his chest "...he doesn't tolerate challenge without...a penalty."

Her voice drops to a whisper as she says, "That's part of what I love about him." Her gaze on August is warm and inviting.

It is clearly not what HE loves about him, but..... he gives her a nervous smile.

"Well, I guess I mean we didn't mind?" A smile "And we're still not sure anyway "

"I'm pretty sure that I'm enjoying this view," she says of August, whose clothing has continued to malfunction.

"Yes, it's scenic" A sigh happy

And then...she freezes, a startled look on her face.

"Oh."

"What?!?!"

Her eyes are wide for a moment, and then she winces. "I think...."

"...I left Hume in charge. So we could come here."

Leonora breaks into a giggle

A groan.

Then a sigh. "Well, that makes me want to get back to find out what the aftermath is."

"Shall we clean up first?"
