Re: [rp] Greystoke Castle

[Tasite]

Tas was slowly walking down the hall playing with Marius...."My dear little one lets get ready for dinner." Making her way to her bedroom Tasite stop short when she see something hanging from her mirror. Blushing and quickly removing the item she wonders who put it there..

Martha can you come here quickly please. Hearing her foot steps Tas turn in her direction..
Yes Milady you called me..
With a slight nod "Yes I did.. Will you please take Marius and dress him for me.."
Yes Milady Tasite I will but may I ask is everything ok ma'am...
Yes Martha I'm fine. Thank you for your help Martha then she hands her Marius and watches as they leave the room..

Turn she move to the object she had see out the corner of her eyes.. Stopping short she reaches for the blue rose on her pillow.. Who? Whats going on here she said out loud no one know she loves blue roses no one. So what was going on here she wonders could this be a joke from the kids... nah she knew they would be in here when she found it so who...Not wanting to upset the Princess or the children.. With a curious look on her face Tas place the rose on her dressing table.. so that she can get clean and ready for dinner....

[Tasite]

Chasing after the kids down the hall with Collen in her arms she places a hand on her stomach "Alright slow down mama cant keep up "

Hearing footsteps behind her she sees Jonathan as he catches up to her and gives her the letter.. Looking it over and stuffing it in her pocket tryiing to rmember to talk to her husband about the letter..Dismissing Jonathan she leads the kids down the stairs and out the door to the gardens.. Sitting collen down in the grass to crawl around ..

[Tasite]

After cleaning up and changing into something light and comfortable Tas heads down the hall hearing her family ahead of her. Since she took a longer time getting dress she knew Martha has already taken Marius down to dinner..Heading down the stairs and out to the garden Tas see the kids playing and Bri looking very lovely sitting there.. watching them.

"Well well you keep get more beautiful everyday... I think I should just go and hide.. Know one is going to notice anyone with you around my dear."she chuckles. "So dear how is Mommy to be feeling this afternoon?"

[Tasite]

Rubbing her stomach and feeling the exhaustion of the hours of play hitting her "Well mommie is very tired today " she smiles and watches as Collen finds a butterfly and tries to chase it around ..

[Tasite]

"Dear..we don't want you over worked... if you think this is to much for you just say the word and we will move everything indoors.. I can't have my sister tiring herself out you know we must take care of her and the babies." Tas smiles looking around..

[Tasite]

"No I am fine the kids really like it outside and I'm already on the ground no chance of getting me up by yourself you will need the entire staff to help.." she chuckles and rubs her belly .. The girls coming over to play with her hair.. They gave her belly a quick kiss and whispered something she couldn't make out .. Smiling at her beloved daughters she relaxes watching her son..

A grin crossed her face as Collen found a flower and began to try and eat it "Aiya baby stop your brother from eating that flower please.." she sat their as Ana tried to braid her hair ..

"Collen no no you smell theme like this?" she holds the flower to her noose and takes in a deep breath. and then holds the flower his nose as he blew out of his nose getting a little snot on the flower... She could not help but laugh at the site as Aiya threw the flower down screaming gross and picking up Collen and dragging him over to Bri..

[Tasite]

Chuckling..."You know it will not take that many just maybe me and some of the staff as she continues to laugh...Tas turns her attention back to Marius who was looking at Collen and making squealing nosies.. So she looked to see what he was doing when she started to really laugh as Collen gots snot all over the flower much to Aiya dislike so she drags him back to his mother... This made Tas happy to be outside with her family keeping her mind off the flower and the other thing she found but yet she still wonder who could have done it.. Turning her attention back to Bri... "Are you hungry Bri...I could fix you a plate if you like."

[Tasite]

"No I am fine dear, not really hungry so much at the moment"She smiles and tickles Collen on her lap.. Collen squirming out of her grasp crawled over to Marius looking down at him and smiling as marius grabs at Collen .. "Well I don't think it will be long for Marius to start crawling you can see the gleam in his eye that he wants to catch up to Collen.." she smiles

[Tasite]

Ok, Bri just let me know... Tas watches Collen squirming like a cage cat and she giggles "I do believe your going to have your hands full with him as well hon" Collen makes his way over to Marius as Marius gabs at Collen she hears Bri

"Well I dont think it will be long for Marius to start crawling you can see the gleam in his eye that he wants to catch up to Collen.."

"I don't think so either and that what scares me to death. One day I will look up and he will be a man..I also thinking I'm ready for another little bundle but I'm not sure his father is" she giggles.

Watching Marius roll, rock and scoot towards Collen was just to funny that she started laughing again "Then day these two start walk we are going to be in trouble I can feel it"

[Tasite]

Laughing "I do believe your right.. We are going to need make sure our liquor cabinet is stocked when they are older.. The girls will already be chasing them.. I took Keagon and Keiron to town the other day with me and they were dressed in there little suits and the little town girls were alredy trying to catch them..Trying to play with them.. I can't even image once they are teenagers... Lock down for all my children.." she chuckles ..

[Tasite]

Laughing on controllable at the thought of them having to keep the kids on lock down.. "Oh my dear Bri we would have to bolt the window and chain them to there bed's because they would find ways out the house.. I also thing the town or any town is not ready for the men or woman in the Tudor family.. "as she continue to laugh..

[Tasite]

Two dusty,weary travelers ride into sight of the castle. The man,very large man at that, pulls up his horse to a stop and looks the castle over. Turning to look at his companion and smiles at her. Even tho she is covered in road dust he still thinks she the most beautiful woman he knows. Turning to look again at the castle he feels relief that the road here is finally done and vows that after this visit is over, they will go home and not travel for a long time.

Well Zipsi dear, the first half of our trip is almost done. We shall visit, if Tas and the princess are home. Then home luv. I am exhausted from being on the road for the KoP and escorting/patroling. I want a nice long vacation if thats ok with you.

Zipsi looks over at me and gives a weary smile. That sounds like a great plan to me dear. I would like to see our friends again at home and get our home fixed up right.And get settled into some normal routine.

I lean over and kiss her gently, I couldnt agree more dear. Well lets ride on then and see what we shall see.

We set our horses into a walk and I can tell they are as tired and worn as we are and just as eager to take a break. As we get closer to the castle we gain more spirit and energy, glad that this half of the trip is done. Helping Zipsi off her horse when we reach the castle and leading her up to the doors, I let the heavy knocker fall a few times to get someones attention.

[Tasite]

Tas thought she heard the knocker at the door.. "Don't anyone move I will get it".. Looking around for her shoe then giving.. Bouncing throw the castle as she reaches the front door and quickly giving it a tug..

Seen Wolfen standing there Tas smiles then jumps at him giving him a big warm hug. "Well if wonder never stop. You are a sight for sore eyes Wolfen.." Look at me sorry Zipsi as Tas hugs her to then brags them both in through the castle and out to the gardens... Come join Princes Bri and the Kids for dinner I must insist that you do... and I know you will have a good time..

Walk over and sitting on the ground next to Marius again come as she pulls them closes" Wolfen and Zipsi this is My beautiful Cousin Princess Brianna...she can't get up at the moment babies weighing her down.. as she begins to giggle a little.

Please sit join us..

[Tasite]

He wandered under the dusk sky of the gardens, taking in the floral scents and the pastel skies. Beside him his black panther, slowly prowling the grounds deep in thought, Evan’s shadow at times. The big cat providing company and a watchful eye. Reaching down he scratches the cats head. They find an open area, the cat lies down, Evan reclining against the panther. The cat once small enough to fit in his hands, now almost fully grown.
Beautiful evening for a lazy stroll…….heh buddy, Scratching the big cats silken black coat. You still need a name…….it may just become ‘buddy’…if Keagon, Keiron or Aiyanna don’t think up something…
Evans head rises and falls hypnotically with every breath the cat takes, enough to lull him almost to sleep.
To the curious eyes of the watching maids and butlers the site of Evan strolling along with the cat at night was becoming routine.

His hand running through the thick black coat of the panther, staring up at the first pinpoints of stars making their nightly appearance Think the Regent will be ok……think he’ll listen to the people……think he’ll do what’s best for England……..think it’ll rain tomorrow, turning his head towards the panthers, Well…you certainly do not have much to say tonight…what’s wrong?......cat got your tongue…, patting the cats head, getting up Come on……we better get back before it gets too dark for anyone to see you

Heading back towards the castle he meets up with his beloved Brianna, Tasite, and two others he did not recognize. With his left hand on the big cat’s collar he feels the panther’s neck muscles tense up. Getting down on one knee next to the cat, he whispers something into the panther’s ear, Evan rises and the cat relaxes noticeably.
Good Evening. Extending a hand towards the gentleman I do not believe we have met, sir. I’m Evan de Balboa, pleased to make your acquaintance.
A bow towards the lady. M’Lady

[Tasite]

"Well hello there you two..I'm glad to see that you two could finially join us" she said with a smile. "Did you have a nice stroll?"

Watching Evan approach Wolfen and introduce himself.. "Oooops...Now were are my manners Evan this is Wolfen McClaren and he lovely lady Zipsi de Phoenix... Wolfen and Zipsi this is Evan.. Oh and the two crawling and rolling in the middle of us is my little cousin Collen and Marius my son"she smiles as she watches them still playing... "I think Marius is telling his mother he needs a playmate" she giggles..

[Tasite]

Zipsi smiled happily. Quite apart from the sheer pleasure of being off that damned horse for a while it was always a joy to meet new folk. Tasite had certainly been a barrel of laughs the first time they'd met - although possibly "wicked giggles" was a more accurate term than just plain laughs.

This seemed like such a happy and welcoming place. Beautiful laughing children, a friendly family. And a very large panther . . . . . Zipsi surreptitiously checked her coat pocket to make sure that her lizard, Whisper, was still hiding in there and not roaming around looking like something that could be pounced upon. Thankfully the little fellow was still asleep - although from past experience Zipsi placed no reliance on him staying that way for too long.

"It's so lovely to meet you all - and to see you again Tas. Dinner sounds wonderful thank you, and possibly . . " here Zipsi looked awfully hopeful, wistfully remembering less dusty and grimy days "I don't want to impose, but, well, maybe even . . . . a bath?"

[Tasite]

Smiling up and as Tasite bring the guests out into the garden "Welcome to Greystoke.. I would get up to greet you but I think im going to need help with that.." She giggles holding her stomach.

Watching as her husband strolls up she smiles as the panther follows him through the hedges.. The children pouncing on top of him kissing and petting him.. Trying to stand she falls back a bit on the ground "Alright I think were eating on the ground tonight..""


She smiles at the Lady "Zipsi it is lovely to meet you dear.. I do hope you will enjoy Greystoke while you are here."

[Tasite]

Hugging Tas back and giving her a kiss on the cheek, Smiling because im happy to be with friends and off my horse, then she dragged us along to meet the others.

"Well hello there you two..I'm glad to see that you two could finially join us" she said with a smile. "Did you have a nice stroll?"

Watching Evan approach Wolfen and introduce himself.. "Oooops...Now were are my manners Evan this is Wolfen McClaren and he lovely lady Zipsi de Phoenix... Wolfen and Zipsi this is Evan.. Oh and the two crawling and rolling in the middle of us is my little cousin Collen and Marius my son

Offering a slight bow to Evan and the princess, smiling at watching the children roll around playing. A pleasure to meet you both, and the children aswell. Bowing to the princess a bit deeper as is her due.

Smiling up and as Tasite bring the guests out into the garden "Welcome to Greystoke.. I would get up to greet you but I think im going to need help with that.." She giggles holding her stomach.

Please m'lady, don't try to rise. relax while you can. After all, that luxury that will be in short supply for you.

[Tasite]

Evan walks a little distance from the group, gets the big cat to lie down, whispers a command into the panther’s ear, comes back to the group. The cat dutifully watching every move the group makes, its ears and eyes alert to its surroundings.

He walks over to his beloved wife, kneels behind her, placing his hands over hers on the cool ground, a kiss to the nape of her neck and lips, a whisper upon her delicate ear
You stay put as well, my love
Sitting behind her, supporting her back, arms about his love, his hand lying gently upon her belly.

Wolfen MacClaren sir , Zipsi dear, please, stay, our home is yours. Please make yourselves at home while you are here.
A butler comes by and sets a basket in the midst of the group of friends.
Ah yes, bless you sir! Jonathan, you know what I like after a training stroll with the cat.
The butler begins to back away from the group
Ah no no no no, sit Jonathan and please join us.
Reaching into the basket, taking out some glasses handing them out. Opening a bottle of champagne.
To friends, to family
Then, reaching into the basket, taking out a bowl of strawberries, placing them in the midst of the group of friends, picking out one in particular, placing it upon his loves lips.

[Tasite]

Looking at zipsi and just smiling. I hold her hand and help her sit on the ground and move my sword out of the way, taking it off me and laying it to my side, blade away from them and behind me as I sit.

We thankyou most hartily sir. That is most kind of you. Especially since we have been traveling around from Sussex to here. I have been on the road actually since mid march. Doing grants, escorting, and patroling.I ahve to admit, i'm a bit road weary.

[Tasite]

Leaning back on her husband she smiles holding his hands wrap around her body relaxing and enjoying the fresh air... Hearing the kids running after the first sit of fireflies and yelling about their butts glowing she giggles her eyes catching a glint of Wolfen sword..

"Wolfen, what is that on your sword that crest?" she tries to see it closer but the falling light causing her to be unable to get a good look.

[Tasite]

"Wolfen, what is that on your sword that crest?" she tries to see it closer but the falling light causing her to be unable to get a good look.

looking down at my sword, studying it for teh umpteenth time and still not what the one crest is as the other is my family's crest. Looking back up at her,

M'lady, I really don't know. this sword was my grandfathers appearantly. It was his fathers, and as far as I know his before that. The lady Lauren returned it to me. She told me that her grandfather received it from mine under the promise to return it to the family.

[Tasite]

Taking th sword from Wolfen she looks at it closely "This is a family crest of a certain noble family Wolfen. It is a very old and proud family actually.. Who has had queens, princesses, and noble ambassadors through history.." she looks at it again but if this was his fathers and his father recieved it from his then it could only mean one thing.

[Tasite]

Tas listens intently to Bri as speaks to Wolfen about his family sword.. "Bri are you trying to say that Wolfen family is of noble blood.

[Tasite]

Watching her take and scrutense my sword for a minute then she speaks saying,

"This is a family crest of a certain noble family Wolfen. It is a very old and proud family actually.. Who has had queens, princesses, and noble ambassadors through history.."

Well m'lady, I couldn't really say what or who that crest belongs to. My father and I had a falling out and haven't spoken very much at all. In fact, i'm kinda disowned by him and not allowed to return home to his lands. so I don't really know much of the family history, and he refused to speak of it.
