What? The World needs saving AGAIN? IC Thread 4

[Xihirli]

Stelus eyed Gloriana once more before turning his attention to Eris. "I assume you'll be going off on your own war shortly. Keep an eye on my mother's new consort, won't you? He makes her happy. That's my assignment to you for now."

[Valmark]

"Yes and we will" Eris nodded "We aren't going to battle anything as strong as a god though. I think. We'll take seats if there's nothing else?"

[Xihirli]

Stelus lifted his hand welcomingly. “By all means.”

[Valmark]

Eris took seats, giving an apologetic look at Gloriana- she highly doubted the queen would be disturbed by them not going to sit next to her, but still she felt guilty about it.
I'll have to tell her sorry later Eris told Leff through the earring But I feel like it'd be unnecessary drama provoking Boss by sitting next to Gloriana.
"Well, I'm hungry after today" she commented "You think we should wait for Sirthis and the Queen at least at dinner?"

[Xihirli]

“Mother ordered two dinners delivered,” Stelus said. “In her chambers. So we should go ahead.” Soon plates of bread, cheese, and fowl were distributed about the dining hall.

[Valmark]

Eris nodded, starting to eat at that.
"All the staff you took for Darroch's is already gone? Or are you going to guide them there personally?"

[Xihirli]

“The wyvern took them,” Stelus answered, biting into his cheese.

[Valmark]

"Must have been happy to do that" Eris chuckled, eating. She didn't really know what to talk about.

[Xihirli]

Stelus made no effort to make conversation, instead finishing his meal and standing. “Keep making me proud, Lelahinn.” And he was on his way.

[Valmark]

"Of course" Eris said, waving him away. Then once he was away she turned to Leff.
"Was I the only one feeling awkward?"

[Xihirli]

She shook her head.
“The Prince of Frost isn’t much for warm company.”

[Valmark]

Eris snickered at the joke, wether it was willing or unwilling, and finished her meal.
"At least he did get distracted from Gloriana like I hoped"

[Xihirli]

Leff looked up at Gloriana.
“Yyyeah, getting them to like each other might be a losing battle.”

[Valmark]

"Or getting Boss to like anybody" Eris chuckled.
"At least anybody he could have a beef with"

[Xihirli]

Leff put her empty plate aside and a group of insects snapped it up.
“I’m going to stop by the powder room. Meet me in our room?”

[Valmark]

Eris looked confused.
"The what?"

[Xihirli]

“The room with all the chamber pots. For relieving myself.” Leff stood.
“It’s kind of a fancy name for it.”

[Valmark]

"Oh! Alright. I'll just go say hi to Gloriana and wait for you there" Eris said, counting herself lucky to get the time to put on the outfit.
Maybe.
She gave Leff a kiss and went to Gloriana.
"Hi- sorry for not coming earlier, but I thought it would have caused unnecessary drama with Boss there"

[Xihirli]

Gloriana nodded warmly.
“He and Oberon are warriors. It will be difficult to get them to accept peace. Your Prince saw my arrival as a second chance for war. He is disappointed that it was not one.” Gloriana smiled sadly.
“People like him are why peace is so difficult to maintain.”

[Valmark]

"Aren't they also how you protect it? Pros and cons I guess" Eris shrugged "Sorry if I'm not staying longer, but I got a surprise prepared for Leff- I won't get a better chance then this to prepare it, I just wanted to say hi. See you tomorrow!" she waved and sprinted off.

[Xihirli]

Gloriana inclined her head.
“It’sa difficult balance to maintain. Have a pleasant night, Eris.”

There was no devil in her room when Eris arrived in her and Leff’s room.

[Valmark]

Eris smiled, immediately starting to remove her armor and clothes keeping an eye out for the door. As soon as she had piled them away she took the sack and went to change in the bath room, to make sure Leff wouldn't suddenly see her. She was ready to cast Invisibility too.

[Xihirli]

Sirthis and Eris awaken wrapped in the arms of their respective sleeping wives.

[Valmark]

Sirthis stretched, eyes taking in the room before settling on Mab, and smiled. He started coating her face in kisses, rousing her from sleep.

---

Eris smiled down at Leff, gently stroking her head and caressing her back. She settled for waiting for the other to wake up.

[Xihirli]

Mab awoke to that and joined in, kissing Sirthis again and again before sighing contentedly to him. "Good morning, husband," she said.

---

Leff awoke slower, but still smiled up at Eris. "Hey," she said. "We're married."

[Valmark]

"Morning wife" Sirthis said, nuzzling his face against hers.
"Think you can walk?" he smirked playfully.

---

"Yup, forever and ever" Eris nodded, stretching her neck to give Leff a kiss.

[Xihirli]

Mab shook her head, smiling. "You'll have to carry me everywhere," she said.

---

Leff gave Eris a kiss, then got up. "Right. We have work to do." She looked at the bath, and took a deep breath. "We should probably wash up first."

[Valmark]

"I can do that, though you'll explain why" Sirthis snickered, pushing himself up with an arm around Mab to keep her against himself.
"Today we should talk to Gloriana with your sister right?" he asked.

---

"Eh. I guess" Eris replied, standing up with much less energy "If we have to. I wasn't minding that" she smiled playfully, taking Leff's hand and going to the bathroom.
"What work though? Besides actual departure I mean"

[Xihirli]

Mab nodded, hooking her legs around Sirthis's other arm and pointing at the bath. "First, I need to wash up."

---

"Well, after departing there's the journey, finding a sphinx, convincing it to help us..." Leff shrugged and got in the tub. "Nothing's ever been as easy as it sounds."

[Valmark]

"Everything the Queen wants" Sirthis declared, carrying Mab bridal-style (fitting, he thought) and using the ring to not exactly walk himself. He plunged the two of them right down in the hot water, using Water Breathing since he was so used to that by now.
He started washing her, humming softly.
"I hope your attendants won't mind if I steal their job one last time- I'm not sure when Leflabah and Eris want to depart. I also need to make a hole in my ear before going, for our earrings"

---

"Eh, we can deal with that. I meant before departure honestly..." Eris cocked her head to the side, looking at Leff getting first into the tub. Then she beamed.
"You did it!" she exclaimed happily, getting into the water and hugging her wife "You got into the water on your own!"
