Ciera's cottage

[Dev]

"They were just police officers, I was no fuzzier than I am now. I had even finished shaving my head when it happened." He throws off the sheets and stands. He walks across the room and throws his arms around her from behind. "The girls found me walking down a dirt road a couple of hours later. They all thought it a great laugh."

[Ciera]

Grinning back at him, or rather up at him, she just laughs. "I bet Tani Fable still rib ya bout that one. Somehow I doubt Keeva would...but she is a odd one." She thinks about all that happened when he was gone...very lonely. She pulls his arm's about her more, but knowing he was what he was...not much hope on some things. "So...other than make me blush, what are you plans for today?"

[Dev]

"Surely you remember me and plans." He squeezes her tight. "I don't like to work these things out before hand, it always goes wrong." He turns and heads into the bathroom and a minute later the shower starts. "And unless any of the elders make themselves obvious I don't even plan on making myself unwelcome." He calls from over the water.

[Ciera]

She grins at the hug. "Well...you'll be suprised to hear that there just is not any...not anymore here, at least. 'Cept for ol' Chases-Trucks...he guards the caern. Everyone else picked up and moved on." She lets the robe slip off, pooling at her feet as she searches for a bra. Quickly. "No problem, mind you...just...well, everyone just up and went."

[Dev]

"Hey, maybe that makes me one then." His laughter three parts hilarity, three parts interest, and four parts hesitence at the idea. "That would be something." He comes out of the bathroom mostly toweled off but wearing only a towel around his waist and throws himself back on the bed.

[Ciera]

Ciera just snorts, a rather rude sound at that. "Right, oh great planner and killer of evil doer's." She finishes dressing in short order, then starts brushing out her hair, sitting on the bed by the bathroom door. "Ach...me legs smart....I really don't bend that way, ya know."

She smirks as he walks out, noting new scar's. "Hungry?"

[Dev]

"Always." He says through a pillow his head is in. He stretches without getting up. "Medium well, boiled carrots and some mashed potatoes for the new elder please." He chuckles through the pillow.

[Ciera]

She smacks him in the stomach. "Ach...get to helping then. I'll be needed help to feed you and yer pack." She grins, then goes running off to the kitchen with a laugh.

[Dev]

"And why would we feed them dearest?" He sits up and throws a pillow at her. After a huge yawn he puts on his jeans and follows her downstairs with the requisite teasing and pinches. "Lead the way lady den mother."

[Ciera]

She giggles, trying to avoid the pinching. "Ack...pickin on me already. And sore as well." She goes over to the fridge, pulling out four steaks, then some eggs, and some cheese. "Can ya grab my skillet hanging above your head, my dear?" She quirks a grin, turning the broiler on.

[Dev]

"Ofcourse." He reaches up and retrieves the pan. "You still haven't answered my question little one. Why would we need to feed them? Your going to have a hard enough time feeding me, without getting a bigger fridge that is." He leans down near her ear and puts an arm around her. He whispers, "You know we don't have any plans for leaving either."

[Ciera]

She grins as he reaches for the pan while talking, taking it from him easy enough. "Ya know they are probably on the way already. Tis a thing...just the same as my pa's pack. Least its only the three girls."

As he whispers in her ear, she can't stop the grin on her face, turning about to kiss him again. "Ahh...are you speakin true to me?"

[Dev]

"Have I ever lied to you?" He smiles and accepts the kiss, bending lower so she could plant it on him. "I submit that I have not."

[Ciera]

She smiles. "Good...cause I won't be lettin ya go again. Tis hard on this old lady." She smirks, then kisses him again, wrapping her arm's about his neck.

[Dev]

He stands up straight wrapping his arms around her and picking her up off the floor. "Like I would let you get rid of me anyway."

[Ciera]

She bends over to hide her flaming face. "Gods...put me down ya brute." She laughs quietly. "Can't cook from up here, boy." She attemps to make a stern face, but fails.

[Keeva Gilchrist]

(a bit down the road still)

Keeva changes back to human, knowing how the whole family used to love horses and all. And sure enough...a newish one stall stable is there instead of a garage. She grins, motioning for quiet, wanting to catch them in the act. She sneaks up closer to the house, grinning.

[Fable]

I shift back to human, following the lead although reluctantly.

Creeping along behind Keeva I bite my tongue to keep from giggling.

He is going to kill us.............why am I wanting to laugh?

I hear Tanith singing somewhere in the back of us and frown, knowing we won't be able to be sneaky now.

[Dev]

He puts her down and turns around. "Do you hear that?" He makes way across the house but stops about halfway across the living area. "I think my pack is here, unless Tanith is singing louder than usual." He turns back to her with a dissapointed look on his face. "Well it was peaceful."

[Tanith]

The song rings loud and clear in the morning sunshine, as she smirks the whole time.

"The door blew open and Jack blew in

He looked at the barkeep and said with a grin

I must be going I really can’t stay

So pour me a drink and I’ll be on my way

Barkeep said … “What’ll it be?”



I’ll have one whiskey, one porter, one rye

And bring me some cider I’ll give that a try

Bring me two rums, one buttered one cold

And bring me a scotch at least 7 years old



Then bring on the wine I’ll start with the Port

And wash it all down with a beer of some sort

The brandy and sherry some grog and some ale

Some old mountain dew and a good howlin’ gale



Mead, stout, vermouth and gin

Vodka, bourbon, and a sly grin

Moonshine, tequila, cognac and schnapps

Some old sour mash and two belly flops

Goldwasser, ouzo, white lightning, green toad

Absinthe, sombuca, and one for the road!



Jack drank it down and said that was great

But I must be going before it’s too late

Then his friends joined him and said sit back down

If you must be going we’ll buy you a round

Barkeep said … “What’ll it be?”




With all his friends passed out on the floor

Still Jack’s bleary eyes were set on the door

The barkeep he said “It’s early you see,

So sit right back on down cause this one’s on me”

So Jack said … “Ut’ll butt he?”




Two ladies entered Jack got to his feet

He motioned them over and said have a seat

Both the girls giggled, one gave him a wink

And Jack with a smile said I’ll buy you a drink

Barkeep said … “What’ll it be?”



So Jack stood up and said “I must be off”

The barkeep said “Now I don’t mean to scoff

But you’re here nightly and never do go

So what’s say we both have one for the road?”

Barkeep said … “What’ll it be?”


Barkeep said … “FASTER!”
