[OOC - sorry i had completely forgotten about this,with my invasion of scotland all, but please continue, i just wanted to formally finish it]

She stands up and smiles saying; Are you kidding me? Then as the effects of the alcohol hit her, she goes down to the floor, face first. Lights out for her.

Walks into the Tavern, and speaks to Aasha Aye cousin we are getting very sore legs standing out there waiting for your auction to finish can you declare it over, thanks lass

Tod then buys Aasha a drink, greatful for the short walk

Krez had been in the tent camp, I need a drink he said out loud. Krez mounted Star and headed into Carlisle. Riding into the town he found the tavern . He tied his hirse and went in.

Entering the tavern he saw men hooping and hollering and saw a woman slump to the floor face first. He walked up and gently turned the woman over. He looked at her for a moment, she looks familiar, he thought to him self. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. This was Tasite, Aasha's family. Krez knew he could not leave her there. He leaned down and gently picked her up. Tossing the Barkeep some gold, I need a room sirI Taking the key that the amn gave him Krez headed to the room that the man pointed at. Carefully walking up the stairs he unlocks the door and walks in closing and locking it behind him.

Krez walked into the room and lays her on the bed, gently laying her on her soide in case anything should happen, he gathers a cloth and dips it in the water basin there and lays it on her forehead. He goes over and sits in the chair out of reach and waits. He mutters quietly, what am I doing? I have only really talked with her a couple times. Oh well i can not let a friend be humiliated....... He sits quietly watching over her.

Tas didn't feel it when her face hit the floor. After all she drank, it’s a wonder she hadn't fallen over sooner. As she slept her mind wonder from place to place.

Marius!! she yelled. Waken up in a cold sweat she notice a the ceiling didn't look like her room or the bar floor. Where the hell am I; she thought as she sat up. How? Who? she thought looking around the room till she came upon a men sitting in the chair on the other side. ]Damn it Tas, what have you gotten yourself into. Looking down she notice she was still dress. Thank Jah...she thought moving to the edge of the bed. Tas didn't want to deal with having taken advantage of someone nice.

Not bad looking she thought, but who the hell was he. Trying to stand on shaky feet isn't good she fell over again.. Ow!! .... What the heck was in those drinks she wonder lying on the floor at his feet sweating.

Krez had sat keeping an eye on her, then she was moving. He sat still watching her waiting to see what she would do! She started with a start and yelling for some one. Tas looked around and then slid over to the edge of the bed. Krez said hold on, but too late. She tried to stand up and stumbled and fell right back in the floor.

Tas! Krez said as she fell to the floor one more time. he stood and walked over, Tas I think you have been either drugged or had way to much to drink! He looked at her as she had him, he could tell she did not remember him! Bending down he picked her up slowly and carefully laying her back up on the bed and getting a the rag wet again. He skooted the chair back over and started to lightly pat her forehead wiping the sweat away. Youare gonna lay her for a bit before i let you go falling again! Krez said to her, whether or not she heard him he did not know!

All she heard was Drugged or had way to much to drink while lying on the floor. Who in there right mind would want to drug her. Maybe they confused her with her sister Brianna. Nah, everyone knew Brianna that wasn't it. Maybe she was drunk then. If that was it she wonder how. She drank more than this with her platoon and she was always the last one standing. So why now? Tas felt something cool on her forehead. What ever it was felt good Thank you was all she could get out.

Looking at him Tas thought she recognize him but where. Lay here? but where is here she wonder. I can't! I have to get home to my son. Marius will be looking for his mother. He just a baby, well he's my baby and I'm all he got so if I'm not being held here then I suggest you move and let me pass. Tas stood quickly moving towards the door when she said pretty colors after that everything went black and she was out again.

Krez walks over and gently picked Tas back up, carrying her over to the bed.and laying her back on it. Krez shook his head carefully and wondered why she would not just rest for a few minutes, she kept hurting herself each time she fell and it was hurting him. He sat there carefully and watched the woman, trying to make sure that she did not hurt herself. He needed to get her home, to her son! Krez watched as she slept, seeing her beautiful face made him realise that he had been alone for a long time.

[Tasite]

Tas hadn't drank this much in a long time. Her mind was trying to rest but she couldn't. It wasn't time for rest...her niece had stagger out drunk, and her son would be worried about his mother. For some reason she couldn't get her mind right. Tas was sweating badly when her eyes open. Oh, Jah stop the room from moving; she said rolling to her side to see him looking at her. Did you put me here? Thank you but there will be some worried about me. Tas stood up again but this time she forgot to move slowly so the room did a 360 turn before she fell but this time into his lap. Blinking several times before turning to face him. We have got to stop meeting like this or people are going to start talking, she as barely finish talking when she moved to get out his lap and fell to the floor. Hey no pushing me, I was going to get up. She looked up at him. Hey don't I know you? Shaking her had trying to clear her mind, Tas looks at him againI don't think I can make it home; she said before falling back hitting her head on the floor. Just let me die here on the cold hard floor.

[krezlar]

Krez shook his head as he had enjoyed the presence of a woman on his lap again It had been a very long time since that had happened and his heart yearned for it yet again. Looking down he smiled a crooked little smile, bent down and picked her back up yet again, this time he decided that she wuld not hhurt herself again unless it was completely unstoppable, knowing that this could be taken the wrong way and it not meaning to be, he laid Tas back on the bed, got the rag, dampened it yet again, and cloimbed on the bed. Krez slid up by her head and placed it on his ;ap and turned her on her side so that if anything happend she would not feel any discomfort. Slowly he started to wipe her forehead, what ever she had drank had her sweating profusly, he hoped the rag wold help. Krez looked down and smiled, she was a beautiful woman, he would make sure she got home as soon as she could handle more motion and not fall or get sick.

[Tasite]

Tas felt her head spinning unlike anything she felt before. Why did, I ever join that drinking contest she wonder. Her mind was dark and quiet but her stomach felt sick. Feeling the coolness of something on her head made her feel a bit better but not much. Come on Tas you drink more than this would out so much as a head spin. Opening her green eyes she watched as the room did it's spins till it stopping. Reaching up she touch her forehead wondering how many knots she may have and how long she been out. Ugh!!! what the hell did I drink and where am I? Tas tried to focus before she moved but when her hand landed on something that wasn't the bed she was in.

Rolling over her green eyes locked on this man blue eyes. Excuse me but who are you? Better yet why are we in the bed together? And me in your lap? She notice they were still dress which was good, she did not want to explain to her nephew how ended up in the bed with a man she didn't know. Damn she is in the bed with this man but at least they were dress. Wait you never answer my question did you. Do I know you?

[krezlar]

Krez sat there with her head in his lap. She woke with a start and looked up and into his eyes, she had the prttiest green eyes he had ever seen. You have the prettiest eyes I have ever seen Tas! He watches as hes says her name. Yes you know me but you might not remember me, we met when Aasha was breaking her need for Donnor when you almost drown trying to save her! He wipes the sweat from her forehead as she is still sweating from the drinks and what ever was in it.

You mentioned a Marius, your son, If you would allow me to escort you home I can make sure you get there safely! Lrez looked at Tas with concern in his eves and spoke with it in his voice. Something about this woman drew him to her and he would make sure that she was safe at home! That is if you will allow me Mi'lady! I would be honored!

[Tasite]

Tas heard him call her name then explain how they met at Aasha's Breaking Hand Ceremony. He had to have been there he knew she almost drowns and that her people called her Tas. OK, you know my name but you never said yours. Just then he wiped the sweat from her forehead cause her to remember she was still in his lap. Tas grumble slowly sitting up; thank you for looking after me and If I did anything to you that was unbecoming of a lady forgive me. I thought I could handle all the strange spirits being served but I guess I was wrong.

Moving to the edge of the bed Tas waited for a minute to see if the room would spin or she would need to return to the down position. Dear Jah did I ramble on about my son to this stranger. Damn what was that stuff. Thank you for the offer to see me home but my virtue no one really wants so I assure you I will be ok but I'm not going home first I need to find NNGO camp and make sure my niece Aasha is safe.

[krezlar]

Aasha huh? I can help you with that as well! He watched her for a few minutes as she stood there getting her bearings. You gonna be ok Tas? He bows his head when she says you have yet to answer me who are you? I am sorry I thought you knew. I am Krezlar McKenzie of the clan McKenzie of Scotland. Krez bowed at the waist. Aasha is a friend of mine, I can lead you to the camp!

Krez waited to see what Tas would do, he hoped she would take his offer and let him take her there. He was really interested in this woman and did not want to leave her be, just yet! He moved towards the door and got ready to open. He watched her still not so steady on her feet! Look rest a bit I will make sure that you get ti the camp, just rest a bit!

[Tasite]

Tas wasn't feeling well it was as if she was walking in a haze. She look at the man at the door she heard him say his name is Krezlar Mckenzie from the clan Mckenzie and she heard his offer of finding Aasha. On second thought I think you are right rest might be would be good. Tas walk over to him and smiled I do apologizes for my rudeness. I'm so used to taking care of myself that forget that something I could use the help every now and then.

Tas then returned to the bed sitting here she wasn't sure what was wrong but she was sure she need sleep. Tas laid back down then rolled to the other side of the bed. You can have that side but if I feel your hand on me, I will cut it off am I clear Krez? Then she closed her eyes praying for relief.

[krezlar]

Krez made sure the door was locked and walked back over to the bed. Smiles, It takes a strong person to admit that they need help or can use it! He sits on the edge of the bed. Krez laid back and got comfortable, Krez turned over on his side, facing the opposite of Tas. Good night Mi'lady!

Krez lay there thinking about this lady. He was learning a little bit about her, She was a mother and strong willed and a strong woman to boot. He liked that, this was a beautiful wman as well. He smiled and gradually dosed off listening to her breathing!

[Tasite]

Tas was filling very sick to her stomach and to top it she was still sweating when her eyes opened. Realizing she was in a bed, that made her think she was at home. Her mind was still very cloudy when she slowly tried to get up from the bed. Tas cursed the damn liquor she drank but was really shocked to see she was still dressed. Maybe she was top drunk for Martha or anyone to get undressed. Standing for a minute to let her stomach settle, Tas started messing with the snaps on her dress till they came loose then she let the dress fall to the floor. It was hot so she decided to return to bed partially naked.

Lifting the covers Tas slid back in bed and drifted off to sleep fairly quickly. Tas was used to being along so when she rolled over her partial naked body landed on the sleeping Krez but he didn't move he just warped his arms around her and continue to sleep.

[arthur_loxley]

Arthur had been informed that the war in the north had been on a standstill for quite some time. Injuries were happening on both sides. The NNGO had decided to hole up in the castle of Cumberland, and the English were mainly waiting for opportunity to attack at the gates of the castle. All soldiers were starving for food, but the ale flowed freely from the taverns in town.

Arthur had decided to see how his family was holding up and traveled north. It was late when he and his family arrived. He made sure that William and Lynna were settled in at the Inn before seeking out his aunt at Greystoke. He always visited her first ever since Elson had retreated to a monastery to battle his illness of heart disease. It was partially because he could never find his uncle Nova either. He was a bachelor who enjoyed his drink and partying.. It would always be around sunrise when Arthur would be able to find him anyways. After inquiring at the castle about his aunt, and given information that she'd left to join a drinking contest at a local tavern, his temper flared up. Why was Kaige not looking after the Tudor women? He would have Kaige's hide for this negligence.

He stormed off towards the tavern, bursting open the door. He looked around and couldn't see his aunt anywhere. But most of the patrons were either completely drunk and passed out, or on their way to getting that drunk. How irresponsible! He thought. His aunt, who had a son, would take enjoyment in getting drunk in public? She needed to be a better role model for her son. He needed to find a worthy man to help her settle down her wild ways. He had understood she needed to grieve in her own way, but now this was going too far. Her family was now suffering. Her son was home in bed and she was off Jah knows where passed out completely drunk. At least he hoped she was and in a safe place at that. He spoke to the bartender hoping he'd seen her aunt, and when he informed him of where she was... he became livid. Some NNGO man had carried her off to his room.. upstairs. He slid out his sword out of his holster, and headed upstairs to find his aunt. The man would regret the decision for the rest of his life.

Barging up the stairs, his heavy footsteps could be heard vibrating through the building. He faced off at a heavy door, his temper rising with each passing moment. How could someone.. anyone.. mess with his aunt? He had some family in NNGO, and if they weren't aware of his bad temper, they should have been aware of at least Aasha's.. or Donnor's. For Jah sake, these people had no idea who they had messed with, but they sure as hell would after the night was over. He kicked the door, once.. twice.. three times to break it down. He never was one for dramatics but the situation required it. After the door burst open and almost completely off the hinges, Arthur entered with his sword in his hand, the other curled in a fist. Seeing the sight before him, he looked between his aunt and the man next to her. The man had taken advantage of her. He was sure. She was half-naked in the bed!!

Arthur stomped over to the bed, grabbing the man from the collar and shaking him to wake up. Once the man's eyes opened, he threw his ass to the floor. Standing between his aunt and the man that was on the floor. How.. DARE.. you! I will KILL you for taking her honor!

[krezlar]

Still groggy and half asleep, Krezlar Looked up at the man standing there brandishing the sword in his face! lookuing from the point of the sword to this man's angry face, Take her honor what are you talking about, Who are you and what are you talking about? Looking to t he bed he sees Tas laying in it. Looking closer, Oh Boy! raising his palm to his fore head he hit it. Looking back to the man, I have not touched her iI swear Looking down, he shakes his head trying to think what to say. Looking at the man yet again, Will you at least drop that thing so i can talk to you? watching he decides to talk anyway!

Look I walked in the tavern tonight and found her passed out on the floor, knowing who she is I brought her up her e and layed her in the bed. I let her rest there! Watched over her! Krezlar shook his head, Man I have no intentions of ever hurting this woman! I met her some time back when we helped save Aasha from drowning, and her and Aayla as well! looking at the bed Krezlar wondered to him self, How the hell did she get undressed, when did she do that? This looks so bad no wonder this man is pissed at me! Look when she laid back down the last time to rest she told me that i could lay on the side of the bed and not to touch her, I said ok and did just that! I am to help her go find Aasha in the camp so she can check on her!

Krezlar stood up cautiously, so as not to make this man any more jumpy than he already was. When she sobers up i am very sure that she will be bale to explain what i have said and that we did not do anything at all. I have nothing but honorable intentions towards Miss Tasite, I promise sir!

[Tasite]

Tas felt something move then she heard Artie's voice. But why, was something wrong? Had something happened to her son? Jumping up she noticed Artie had the man Krezlar McKenzie against the wall but why? What the hell is going on here? Tas wanted to say more that is until she looked down and noticed she wasn't completely dressed.

Looking around for her dress she notices she is not in her room either. Damn it Tas what have you gotten yourself into now? Looking over at the chair she sees her dress. Retrieving it, she puts it back on. Artie! Artie! Please Artie, he hasn't done anything wrong. Please release him. Tas lowered her head knowing she could have gotten this man killed. Artie, I'm sorry! I guess I haven't been making good decisions lately. But all he did was take care of me when I was passed out on the tavern floor. I thought I was at home and alone. Had I remember, I would still be dressed. Tas could not look up at either man not after what she just did and caused. She was raised better but her life seems to be falling apart and she wanted the pain to stop so she was lashing out. She felt as if she let her family down. With tears she looked at them saying; Sorry then she bolted from the room.

[arthur_loxley]

Arthur was beyond angry at the situation. The man was up against the wall exclaiming he had not touched her, but the scene indicated otherwise. I do not believe you! He yelled at the man. He positioned himself between the man and his aunt. Look away! Do not look upon her! He brought the tip of his sword up near the man's cheek. A man of worth would not have laid with a woman in bed unless they were married. His eyes were black from anger. You two are definitely NOT married! He brought his sword to the man's face. Her honor is in question because of YOUR decisions! I should castrate you here and now to save her reputation!

He was going to move forward to hurt the man, but Tasite woke in a frenzy and ranting about the situation. He saw her dress up and flee out the busted wooden door. You are saved for tonight.. But I will hunt you down. He all but growled at the man then fled out of the door after his aunt. He holstered his sword as soon as he was out the door and caught his aunt on the stairs. He grabbed her by the arms. What are you doing here? He took off his mantle, and wrapped it around her. You need to calm down and start thinking. Look at where we are. You should know better. He was acting as a father, or maybe patriarch. He wasn't sure. But he needed to get through to her. It was time for her to act like a mother.

[krezlar]

Krez stood in the room for a minute, thinking abot wha had just happend. He had not meant anything to come of his helping the lady. Now he had been through the wringer over her, he had a Sword aimed in his face, and a man yelling at him! Krez stood there stewing and getting madder! looking at the door to his room; he frowned. I should make my apologies! Krez headed to the door and heard the man talking to Tas. Krez tried to close the door, it hung precariously he turned back and walks over to the bed, picking up the pillow that she had lain on, it smelled of boose but he could smell the sweet scent of her hair and perfume! He sighed he would wait til tomorrow and go find her!
