"There's nothing wrong with changing your mind." Astien said. "As long as it's something you know she'll love, though, I don't think you have any reason to worry."

"I have seen your Wyn," Heceril spoke, "she seems a fine young woman who can accept anything."

[Eskal]

Cormac nodded and kept his eyes fixed on his food.
"Wyn is quite the young lady," Marius agreed.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Maybe the only kind of gift you need to give her is the gift of incredible sex." I'Karis said, sounding somewhat bored." "Learn a new position or two. Maybe get a cock piercing. I bet she'll love that. It stimulates the clit, supposedly."

"I'Karis, we are trying to eat." Heceril said in a way that suggested this sort of thing is routine.

[Eskal]

Marius chuckled. "That's not happening anytime soon. Right Cormac?"
"Yeah," Cormac muttered.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

I'Karis shrugged and kept eating. "It's not easy keeping out of sight when this hearing stuff is going on, you know. And getting that info for you, Marius? Also not easy."

[Eskal]

"You're not getting a three way, I'Karis," Marius stated flatly.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Boo hoo. So sad. You could be at least a LITTLE grateful, you know."

"What information is he talking about?" Astien asked.

[Eskal]

"It's just...About the possible outcomes," Marius hesitated to say. "We'll speak about it later, now's not an appropriate time."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Astien nodded hesitantly.

"There's only gonna be one outcome," Delas said determinedly, "victory! Don't you worry, Astien, I'm gonna save you, with logic, reasoning, and smarts."

[Eskal]

Cormac just shoved food into his mouth. Marius kissed Astien's cheek.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Cormac, are you alright?" Astien asked. "You're rather quiet tonight."

[Eskal]

"I'm fine," Cormac said. "I am, really."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"I hope so. You know I worry about you, right?"

[Eskal]

"I know," Cormac said.
"Like any good parent should," Marius chuckled.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

"Such family, you lot. Reminds me, I haven't seen mine in a while…" I'Karis spoke that last part quietly.

[Eskal]

Marius finished his helping. "I'll do clean up tonight. I hope you two didn't make too much of a mess in the kitchen."

[FweepFwopFwoop]

Heceril stood up and collected he plates. "No, allow me. It would be very rude not to repay your hospitality somehow." He walked into the kitchen with the stack of plates.

"So… what's the deal between you and him?" Delas asked I'Karis.

[Eskal]

"I've been wondering the same," Marius stated.

[FweepFwopFwoop]

I'Karis frowned. "And just what are you asking? Go on, say it."

[Eskal]

"Are you together?" Marius asked. "As in together together."
