Re: [RP] Wedding Reception of Lynna and Arthur

[Lynna]

Liza tilts her head and smiles. You'll make a wonderful priest, she tells Gawain. But I'm not sure all the ladies will agree, she adds with a teasing laugh.

They twirl around the floor catching up until the music ends. Liza drops down into a curtsy. Thank you so much for the dance. I enjoyed it, as always, she tells him with a smile as she straightens. Her glance goes to her table where she can see her husband watching her. I should be getting back to Wolf now though, she says with a chuckle, seeing his slight scowl. Thank you again. She gives him a hug before leaving.

On her way back to the table, she feels a slight dizziness. Making a quick detour she walks to the bar and orders an iced tea. She leans against it as she waits for her drink, watching all the guests.

[Lynna]

As they step outside Moose feels the rush of the fresh cold air and shivers slightly. He can hear the slight murmer of the music coming from inside and candle light flikering through the windows scatered around the castle.

He follows Lizzy over to the stone bench and sits silently beside her and looks up at the stars in the clear night sky feeling slightly nervous and not knowing what to do or say.

Noticing that Lizzy is shivering slightly he nervously reaches out and puts his arm around her and rubs her arm to try and warm her. He then pulls her closer and hugs her tight. Gazing into her beautiful eyes he says softly I don't know if i told you this already but I am truelly very happy that you came with me today. It means so much to me. It has been a great day and I am glad that you have been here with me to share it. He then kisses her gently on the lips before pulling away blushing and goes back to gazing at the stars

[Lynna]

Lizzy felt a shiver run down her spine, as Moose pulled her close, and another when he kissed her, she was pleased it was so dark, it hid her blushes. Although she was certain her heartbeat would be audible in the hall..

Sitting there quietly, Mooses arm wrapped around her, she rested her head lightly on his shoulder and she sighed softly, he was right, it had been a lovely day. Though she had known almost no-one there, she had been made to feel welcome, and Moose had looked after her beautifully.

She looked up at him, quietly gazing at the stars, and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek..

[Lynna]

The saltarello is played and Myxti perks up. Her cousin sees this, so he stands up and puts out his hand.

Ferdinand: "Come along, Juana. Let's show them how the Spanish do it."

Myxti jumped up and took his hand excitedly as they headed to the dance floor to dance to the saltarello. It was obvious that this family grew up in a home where dancing and music were not only frequent occurances, but that it was an important part in their society. They were not only good, they loved it.

[Lynna]

Watching everyone get up and dance together as the music started, Lana could fee a smile spread across her face. She always did like good music and dancing.
Letting her feet tap to the beat of the music Lana drank down some of the wonderful champagne that was still being passed round.
Noting all the couples, Lana recognised a few people and grinned at the pairings that had appeared. She knew she was gonna miss these people...
"Stop thinking like that Lana...you'll only make things worse!"
Trying to get rid of the frown that had appeared on her face Lana got up and went over to the bar to try and drown out her betraying thoughts.

[Lynna]

Josehf approaches the gates of Coventry Castle and as he draws close to the entrance of where the reception was being held slows his horse to a trot. He dismounts, ties JohnHenry to a post and feeds him a small treat.
"Well done my friend.. You can rest now."
Josehf then unties a canvas sack from the horse, reaches in, and pulls out a colored bag containing his gift. He gently pulls the gift form the bag in order to inspect..
"Good, still in one piece."
Josehf then lowers it back into the bag, turns toward the door and takes a deep breath.
"Finally."
Yes, he knew he was very much late and that he had missed the ceremony all together. He was sure that Lynna and Arthur would not be overjoyed by his later arrival, but he only hoped they would understand. Although he had seemed to been making it a habit of his to show up late. This was one instance which he was not able to help. Luckily for him he had done finished the present and had his wardrobe in line before he had left home nearly a month ago.
As Josehf proceeds up the steps he hears two voices talking lightly in the dark. One, whom he knew well, the other seemed familiar, but he could not make out who it was. When he reached where they were sitting outside he noticed them to look quite cozy despite the cool of the night air.
First thought told him not to interupt, but his curiosity of not only whom the lady behind the familiar voice was, but also in what events had all taken place within forced him to interupt the couple's moment.
"Moose, my good friend, it is great to see you once again."
As he spoke the lady beside Moose turned slightly towards him. Enough so , that the glow of the outside lantern across her face revealed to him that it was Lizzy.
"Ah, Lizzy, tis nice to see you again as well."
Watching their movements and by the looks in their eyes he sees that Moose was still Moose and Lizzy was trying to keep up. Or maybe it was the other way around.
Josehf can't help but to smile and let out a short laugh.
"Looks like you are both doing well. Bit chilly out here though; isn't it? So, tell me. Just how late am I?"

[Lynna]

Kenrich remained seated as he watch Myxti and her Cousin get up to dance, he liked her, and enjoyed just watchng her, she had a beauty about her, that he liked. He would wait for another song and then ask her to dance, he wanted to speak to her, to tell her what he was feeling. He didn't know what had come over him, the courage he felt was nothng like he had before, he mostly was shy and guarded but being around her brought something else out.

[Lynna]

She couldn't hide the shock on her face at hearing Rohannon had passed away. Kyley had always gotten along quite well with him, and it was a blow to find out the changes she'd missed were much more extensive than she imagined. Retiring from public life had been good for her and her family, but she hadn't expected to lose touch so completely. She had to wonder why no one had written before now. Things had been strained, but to this extent?

Dropping her eyes as her face flushed red, she whispered; I'm sorry Brianna...I did not know... Glancing back up, she apologized to Evan as well before adding; I'm very glad you were there for her. Congratulations on your nuptials.

Still embarrassed to have missed so much, she tried to smile at the invitation. I will make a point of doing so aunt Brianna. I'm sure the children would enjoy that as well. Newest arrivals? I have missed a lot, haven't I? Her voice trailed off when Grip's name was mentioned. Eyes closing briefly as a flash of pain was quickly masked, she murmured; He...stayed home. I believe Edric made arrangements for the children and I to stay here tonight, but we will head to the keep soon.

[Lynna]

The song ends so Myxti goes back to the table and Ferdinand goes to the bar. Myxti looks at Kenrich happily and smiles.

"I love the saltarello! Don't you?"

[Lynna]

As Lizzy kissed his cheek he blushed slighty then smiled, looked down at her gave her a kiss on the forehead and then letting her rest her head on his shoulder he then lent his head gently on hers.

Hearing someone approaching along the path he lifted his head and looked into the dark to see who it was Who's there he said. Straining his eyes he sees a figure approaching out of the dark. As they approach he recognises the figure as being Josehf Jo my friend. It is good to see you again, how have you been? Surprised that he knows Lizzy he looks to her and sees a slightly confused look on her face Yes we are doing very well thank you he says with a grin on his face knowing that he is not talking about their health

Yes it is a bit chilly but we are keeping warm he says giving Lizzy a slight squeeze and a look of affection

Well Jo, I belive you have missed everything entierly my friend, dinner has been had, speeches have been said, the cake has been cut and now everyone is enjoying themselves with a bit of dancing. Hence why we are out here to escape the dancing he said with a slight chukle

[Lynna]

Lizzy looked up when she heard her name, she couldn't see the mans face too clearly, and didn't place his voice, so she remained silent, merely smiling at the newcomer, and letting Moose talk. when Moose mentioned they were avoiding the dancing she chuckled, lightly and snuggled in a little closer.

perhaps we should go back inside though, its a bit cold out here, and besides, people will worry that I am ruinning your reputation Moose... she chuckled as she watched him blush again.

[Lynna]

My only reputation is for being drunk and I think we are doing a good job of keeping that one intact. he said to Lizzy with a laugh

Yes it is actually a bit chilly out here and I have run out of beer he said looking into his empty mug. Standing up and helping Lizzy up off the bench he takes her hand and they start to head back towards the entrance to the castle. Turning to Jo he says Are you coming Jo or are you a bit scared about what Lynna and Arthur will say about your late arrival

Continuing towards the castle he turns and looks at Lizzy Soooo are we going to dance when we get back or are we going to have another drink?

[Lynna]

Lizzy smiled at Moose, as he led her back inside, her hand held in his. The hall was quite dark now, and everyone seemed quite occuppied, either dancing or drinking.

Well, I have to say, I think I had enough to drink already, that brandy...

Lizzy's eyes scanned the room, no-one was looking, maybe they could just sneak in a quick dance and no-one would even noticed? So she turned to Moose and smiled again, and led the way to the dance floor...

[Lynna]

Following Lizzy onto the dance floor he takes her into his arms and pulls her in close to him and starts to lead her around the dance floor in time with the music Yes I think we have had enough to drink for now he says to her softly as they continue to dance.

Suddenly realising what he is doing he looks up over Lizzy's shoulder to see if anyone is watching them. He blushes slightly, then looks back at Lizzy, smiles at her and kisses her softly, then pulls away blushing bright red

[Lynna]

Liza leans against the bar and sips her tea, watching the couples on the dance floor. Impressed with Myxti and her cousin, she sighs softly hoping she can persuade her friend to teach her that dance later, it looked so wonderful. Thinking that it was probably more the skill of the dancers than the ease of the dance she giggles to herself, imagining her and Wolf attempting it. Though Wolf was a wonderful dancer, despite all his protestations, she still a bit clumsy and more likely to step on his toes than follow his lead.

Liza's eyes open wide as she sees another couple on the floor. She grins as Moose glides by, expertly leading Lizzy. Catching Moose's glance as he looks around, she winks at him, giggling as he turns red.

Liza stands straight and begins to make her way back to her husband hoping to persuade him to another dance. As she does she notices another late arrival. She smiles at Josehf and wiggles her fingers in a wave, happy to see him again so soon. She finally weaves her way back through the tables to hers and approaches Wolf from behind quietly. Leaning over his back she slips her arms around his neck and gives his earlobe a nibble before whispering softly, I'm back, love. Miss me?

[Lynna]

Pulling his wife on his lap he hugged her tight, always you know that, have a rest and then we can have another dance later, i will fetch you a nice drink of water, no more strong stuff for you anymore, besides you need to watch them dance first before you can try it for yourself, i prefer the slow hang on tight and bite your neck dance myself, laughing he moved them round to watch the others dancing.

[Lynna]

After dancing with Liza, Gawain heads for the bar and orders a drink and sits there for a while. Glancing over at her table, he decides to go over and rejoin it as Ken and Myxti and her cousin are also there, and he was sitting at that table before sitting at the head table. He walks over to the table and smiles at everyone.

"Hello all, can I join you again?"

[Lynna]

Kenrich watched as Myxti returned to the table giving her a smile

"Aye it looks like a fun dance" he said, though i myself have never attempted it" he said with a little laugh. I tend not to find myself dancing alot" he said "Usually because when i attend these events i don't have anyone to dance with" he said. It was true most of the time he usually just sits and watches, though he had a reason for saying that to her. He though.

[Lynna]

Myxti nodded and waved to Gawain to join them. Then Ken spoke and Myxti stood up.

"Looks like you're got a reason not to sit and watch now. C'mon...let's dance."

She grinned and walked to the dancefloor waving him to join her.

[Lynna]

Liza slips her arms around her husband's neck and leans against him, watching the others dance. She looks up as Gawain joins them and greets him, then grins to see Ken and Myxti head to the dance floor. She turns to look at Wolf, smiling sweetly. Did I hear you mention another dance? she asks as she slips off his lap and takes his hand, anxious to be in his arms again.

[Lynna]

Gawain smiles and resumes his former seat. He sips his ale and turns to watch the dancing for a while.

[Lynna]

The strain of traveling with two small children combined with the changes she'd found out about had Kyley exhausted. She wasn't sure she could deal with anything else, and missed Grip desperately. Gently if not awkwardly hugging Brianna, then curtsying to Evan, Kyley explained how tired she was and turned to go, intending on wishing her cousin and his new wife joy before seeking out Edric and her children.

She'd not made it far before she found them in the press of people, they looked lost in each other, a good sign for a happy marriage. Unsure how to approach while they were dancing, she attempted to catch Arthur's eyes as he spun Lynna in a graceful pirouette. She couldn't retire before speaking, and had no clue where to go even if she tried to.

[Lynna]

Arthur was tired! He'd been dancing with Lynna most of the night and decided to sit down for a few musical pieces. He led his wife off the dance floor and saw Kyley standing up by herself. He was confused, and looked behind him as it appeared she was looking for someone. He looked back towards her and realized, Duh! She's looking at me.

He led his wife to his cousin and gave her a hug while holding Lynna's hand in his. How you doing cousin?

[Lynna]

Luckily, Kyley didn't have very long to wait. Her lips were twitching by the time he'd lead Lynna to her, she had seen him looking behind him when she had tried to catch his eyes, and was amused by it. She knew so few here, she thought it would be more than obvious she was trying to catch his attention, but then she had never been the type to push her presence on anyone.

The hug was less awkward this time, her feet were still firmly on the floor. She didn't miss his hand still clasping Lynna's, causing Kyley's smile to widen. I am good. Your reception is lovely, I am so glad I was given the opportunity to attend. Gently laying a hand on Lynna's arm, she dropped a half curtsy and murmured; I am sure others have already said so, but I am honored to welcome you into the Tudor family. I feel positive Arthur will do his best to make you happy.

Turning back to her cousin as her hand drops to her side, she lowers her lashes and sighs. I miss my children...and find myself tired from my journey. I hope you don't mind if I retire for the evening. We have much to talk about, but this is not the time. Perhaps at the keep? For now, if you would point me in the right direction while you enjoy the company of your lovely bride. Edric and the children are here somewhere...

[Lynna]

Jo my friend. It is good to see you again, how have you been?

"Well, my friend. Exhausted, but well."

Are you coming Jo or are you a bit scared about what Lynna and Arthur will say about your late arrival

Yes, in fact I am glad you are both going in as well. Possibly I can duck down behind the two of you and they will just think I have been mixed in the crowd the whole time.
Josehf follows the couple in and then watches as they proceed to the dance floor. Turning and looking about, he seen several familiar faces, including the special couple of the day. Then he seen Liza walking through the tables and waving his way.. Josehf smiles and waves back and then sees Oswald standing nearby.
Oswald. Might you do me a huge favor? Could you take this gift over with the rest for me.
Josehf pulls the gift from the bag and hands it to Oswald

"Thank you good sir"
Josehf then proceeded to the bar where he sees an old friend which he had not seen in some time..
"Lana, it is great to see you here. How might you be?"
