He took her hand and she stood to go with him as he led her around the tables, to his cousin. The two embraced before Kyley dircted the conversation to her she smiled back as Kyley wanted to welcome her to the family, mentioning Arthur making her happy. Thank you for the warm welcome she said smiling.We are happy you were able to come and join us today Kyley, she looked at Arthur, I am sure we will make each other very happy. She looked back to Kyley as she spoke to Arthur again.

On saying that she would like to retire for the night Lynna looked around for Oswald so she could tell Arthur where to find him , she sees him over near the bridal table, waiting for an opportunity to say Oswald is over near our table Love.

Arthur_loxley wrote:He was happy that Lynna was accepted by his family. They all just absolutely adored her. How couldn't they? He thought to himself. Even Kyley had managed to show up to his wedding. It was definitely a surprise. He had been trying to contact her for months without success and now, here she was at his reception. She'd missed a lot, he thought.

Hearing Kyley speak about the reception made him smile broadly. I'm glad you are having a good time. He couldn't really hear what Kyley had said to Lynna but it must have been good. Lynna was smiling and answered her.

Kyley turned back to him to speak. She seems tired.. the thought cross his mind.

Kyley wrote: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 mentioned Oswald, and Arthur turned to look towards the bridal table. Ahh, yes. There he is. Lynna, my love, can you introduce Kyley to Oswald and have him take care of her and the children and Edric? He was still confused as to why Grip was nowhere to be found and thought the worst. Maybe he passed away? No.. it couldn't be. Kyley was an excellent apothecarist . He pushed the thoughts to the back of his head, and kissed his wife gently. While you are taking care of my cousin, I'm going to speak to Liz for a minute. We spoke to their table, but I didn't get to speak with her directly. You don't mind, do you? He knew she wouldn't, but it was always better to seek permission than to beg forgiveness.

Lynna wrote:Of course Love she said as Arthur asked her to make arrangements with Oswald to see that Kyley was shown to one of the guest rooms, so he could go talk to Lizabet. She placed her hand lightly on Kyleys wrist smiled and said, Come with me over to see Oswald Kyley, I am sure he will know where Edric and the children are. Not much went on in the household that Oswald wasn't aware of, someone would have informed him of their arrival.

As the pair reached Oswald, Lynna stepped to the side so Kyley would come up next to her. Kyley this is Oswald he is head of the staff here at Coventry Castle, Oswald this is Lady Kyley Mallett, a cousin to Arthur who will be staying here as long as she likes.

Pleased to meet you M'Lady, welcome to Coventry Castle he gave with his distinguished nod.

I believe Edric, who accompanied Lady Mallett and the children are in the estate here, and maybe already shown to rooms already. Would you please see to it that a member of staff escorts Lady Mallett to the suites and her family.

Lynna turned to Kyley and gave her a gentle hug, realising it had been quite a day for her as well catching up on all the Tudor news and reuniting with her cousin. Oswald will take care of you and please if there is anything you are in need of ask. I hope you have a good rest and we can all catch up tomorrow I am sure you have plenty you would like to talk to Arthur about.

She turned back to Oswald, Thank you Oswald she smiled her appreciation.

--Kyley wrote:I wouldn't have missed this for the world Arthur. Just seeing you two happy makes the trip more than worth it. She immediately thought of Grip, the strain between them was palpable when she left, all because she'd insisted on coming. But wasn't family supposed to look past mistakes and love you anyway? The bond she felt was stronger with him than anyone, but she still felt a pull towards her own family. She missed Bridget and their talks so much, the visits from Arthur, Doc and Greta had always lifted her spirits. She missed it all. And now, with Roh gone and Bridget and Rexx nowhere in sight, she had to wonder what else she'd missed.

Shaken from her musings by Lynna's touch on her wrist, she tried to smile, the effort almost too much as a crushing sense of loss gripped her. Doing her best, she briefly touched Arthur's arm before following Lynna to Oswald, automatically curtsying as the servant nodded. Please, just Kyley.

Hugging Lynna back, a genuine smile crossed her face. I look forward to talking to you both. I hate to intrude on your first moments together though, we can catch up whenever the two of you are ready. Two little ones here is not what you'd envisioned for your honeymoon I'm sure. She was grinning, thinking of her children always managed to lighten her mood, even now. Thank you Lynna.

Turning to Oswald, she inclined her head and smiled gently. I'm sure you've been kept quite busy this evening. Lead on good sir, I find myself longing for my babies...and I'm sure Edric is ready for a break.

Lynna wrote:Thank you Kyley, we are just happy you were able to make the trip. We'll be here for a few days while we finish organising everything for our honeymoon, so there will be time to catch up she smiled warmly. It will be lovely to have some time to relax before we do, the children will be a pleasure to have around.

She watched as Kyley left with Oswald, and looked around at the guests all enjoying themselves mingling and dancing. She thought she could enjoy a few moments to herself and wandered over to the table they left their goblets on, so they would not be lost. Picking up the napkin and goblets, she took a sip from hers and headed back to her seat at the bridal table, setting them down with the letter she had received earlier.

Her mind was racing she had been through so many emotions today, it was hard not to think back over the days events, her hand went to her neck as she could feel the presence of Rohannon around her.

Lizabet wrote:As Liza waits for Wolf to dance, she watches the others. The music comes to an end and she sighs, looking at her husband with a wry smile. It seems you are saved again, she says with a small laugh as she leans forward and kisses him softly. For now, at least, she adds with a wink.

As Liza is about to slip back into her seat she notices Arthur weaving his way through the tables. She leans towards her husband. I'll be back in a moment, love. She trails her fingers down his cheek and kisses the other. And when I return, you're not getting out of that dance. She smiles into his eyes before standing and looking around, having lost sight of Arthur in the crowded room. She finds him again and slowly, carefully makes her way towards him, her hand unconsciously going to rub her hip where she can still feel the results of her earlier run-in with the tables.

Taking a piece of her own advise Lana motioned to the barkeep to pour her another drink, once he set it down in front of her she took a huge gulp, only to be startled by someone who sat down beside her!

Josehf!! My word I haven't seen you in a long time, where have you been hiding?

Giving him a quick hug Lana looks at him inquisitively...

It's so good to see you though, you should stop by your hometown soon and come see everyone again, I bet you'll find you've been missed.

Smiling at him Lana doesn't even need to pretend to be happy...seeing old friends was definately a nice suprise for the evening.

Josehf wrote:Josehf returns the hug to Lana and smiles.
"It is great to see you as well. I do guess for those in Lichfield it might seem as if I have been hiding. Though, it seems I have been doing everything but such. As of late, I have been up on the northern border. Delivered some supplies to the army in Carlisle. Was supposed to be a simple task and was going to be back in plenty of time for this celebration. But, problems arose. Contact dissapeared while I was in Penrith, then there was a revolt in the town which I had to help fight off. Ended up having to go on to Carlisle itself to deliver the goods only to be attacked myself."
Josehf pauses slightly as the face of a dying young Scot at his feet clutters his thoughts. Shakes the image from his mind.
"But, all was achieved, just not as smoothly as planned. Ah, and yes, I have received a few letters from those wondering how I was and when I might be returning. It seems though, as if I am more at home on the road than in my home itself. I shall be returning there soon though. Hopefully for a bit longer than my last dropin."
As Josehf sees the bartender starting to pour a drink for Lana.
"Make that two if you will good sir."
Looking back at Lana and seeing her for the first time in months.
"Looks like life is treating you quite well Lana. What all might you have been up to since we last met?"

Arthur_loxley wrote:Lynna had mentioned she didn't mind, and he hugged both his new bride and cousin before departing. He looked around the hall and there was such a large crowd. He bit the inside of his cheek gently as he was trying to decide the best way to make his way towards Liz.

He made his way through the tables, getting into a rhythm. He could see Liz making her way towards him as well.. or was it to the table behind him? He shrugged and decided he would interrupt her before she got to where she was heading.

Lynna Mon Mar 23, 2009 5:30 pm

Lizabet wrote:Liza sees Arthur making his way towards her with a slightly befuddled look on his face. With an impish glint in her eye, she looks at the table she's just passing and notices an empty chair.

Liza slips into the chair, ignoring the startled looks on the strangers' faces. She folds her arms on the table, keeping an eye on Arthur out of the corner of her eye, and smiles sweetly.

Hi everyone, I'm Liza. Lovely reception, isn't it? She chatters away brightly. You don't mind my joining you for a moment, do you? I was on my way to the bar but suddenly felt a bit faint. She passes her hand over her forehead dramatically.

Lynna Mon Mar 23, 2009 5:31 pm

Arthur_loxley wrote:Arthur started walking slower as he saw Liza sit down and chat with a table full of guests. He looked around and didn't realize that Liz was friends with any of them. Oh well, he wanted to talk to her before he whisked Lynna away from the reception. Upon arriving at the table, he greeted the guests again. Liz, can we talk? He pulled out her chair slightly, and excused both him and Liz.

Lynna Mon Mar 23, 2009 5:32 pm

Lizabet wrote:Liza giggles a bit as she feels her chair being pulled. She glances up at Arthur but becomes serious at the ominous sound of his words. She looks back at the table and her smile returns. Please excuse me, but thank you for your company. I've enjoyed our chat, she says with a little wink to the still surprised faces. She stands and turns to Arthur, dropping into a slight curtsy. Of course, Lord Loxley, she says hiding a grin, trying to tease him out of his seriousness with her mock formality. She follows him away from the tables, glad to have a chance to speak to him for a moment.

As the latest piece of music came to a close, Lizzy pulled away slightly, looking up into Mooses eyes, she blushed, again, today she'd done a lot of blushing, and that was something else unusual for her.

The two of them stood still for a moment, his arms still encircling her, looking into each others eyes, and it was only when another couple collided with them that they realised the music had begun again...

drink? suggested Lizzy

Arthur_loxley wrote:He walked with Liz, hoping she would break the ice. When she didn't, he spoke: I am very glad you came to my wedding... His hands clasped behind his back and his eyes cast downward. His voice was low for her to hear. It means a lot to me that you can put differences aside and support both Lynna and me. He briefly looked up to her, then cast his eyes down again. You know we have been friends for a long time, and I couldn't bear to lose you. And you know that Lynna makes me happy.. happier than I have been in a long time. A guest came up to Arthur, patting him on the shoulder and congratulating him. He shook the man's hand and thanked him for the well wishes. The man seemed unsteady and a bit drunk, but Arthur didn't mind.

We joked a while ago that I would become a priest because I wasn't sure if I could find happiness.. and I didn't know if I was even willing to try. Lynna makes me happy.. and I think we both know I would have made a lousy priest! He chuckled quietly. However.. the more things change, the more they stay the same. You and I will always be friends regardless of what paths our lives will take.. what roads we may go down. You know you can always count on me. He remained quiet and listened for her response.

You know I wouldn't have missed this, I know how important it was to you. She lowers her eyes so he can't see the shadow of hurt that passes over her face at the thought of her own wedding that he had missed. She bites her lip, unsure how to continue and lifts her eyes back up to his.

You know your friendship means the world to me. It always has and always will. I know our lives have taken different paths, but that's one thing that will never change. She tilts her head and studies him a moment. I haven't seen you so happy since I don't know when, and I'm thrilled for you. She casts her glance towards Wolf and a soft smile comes over her face before she looks back at Arthur. I know how much joy love can bring, and I'm happy that you've found it. Her smile widens to a grin and she chuckles a bit. And yes, you would have made a lousy priest. You're too argumentative! she teases him.

I didn't know you had married till after the fact, and was a little hurt that I wasn't sought out or invited. It was probably my fault.. I don't always check the missives I receive in time and usually misplace those that I do receive. He sighed. You know how I am with things. I am truly sorry that I could not be there for your special day. I bet it was a beautiful ceremony.

His eyes sought Lynna. He could see her in the distance with Oswald and Kyley. He was happy.. happy that things had turned out well for him. Happy things had turned out well for Liz. Happy that both of them were set. He paused for a moment before continuing, I know that we are going to be drifting apart physically because you will be with Wolf traveling... he bit his tongue, not wanting to think of what other things she would be involved in. While Lynna and I will be traveling as well.. But no matter where I am, you know that I will always be there for you. And I hope you write me a letter or two from the road. He chuckled to lighten the intense feeling of the conversation.

That's why I gave you that journal for your birthday, so you can keep up with your correspondence while you travel and you have no excuse not to write back, she laughs.

Remembering something, Liza glances at the gift table and back at Arthur. I hope you like your present, she tells him. It was Headie's. She gives him a faint smile, still feeling her loss. I know he would have liked for you to have it. Her smile lightens. You know Doogie was always one of his favorite people.

Oh! Right. I do have that....... his voice trailed off and his eyes cast down, trying to think of where he put it. Oh! I know where it is. I remember now. He grinned at Liz.

He followed Liz's glance towards the gift table, his eyes drawn to the dagger. She told him about the gift,

Lizabet wrote:I hope you like your present... It was Headie's. I know he would have liked for you to have it. You know Doogie was always one of his favorite people.

He wrapped an around around her shoulder, and pressed her to his side. I miss Headdie. I wish he was still here.. I think about him all the time. He was one of the most honest and funniest people I have ever met.. He is unforgettable. His mind brought forth memories of how he came to be nicknamed 'Doogie' and his nickname for Lynna was 'Smiley'. He smiled at all the memories from the 'good ol' days' in Coventry.

If I don't get a chance to catch you before you leave, I hope you have a wonderful honeymoon. And a safe journey. Her brow furrows a bit in worry. You know the roads aren't very safe anymore, take care. She gives him a glare. I don't want to hear of anything happening to you two while you travel. She glances at her husband and back to Arthur. I've been told I'm scary when my temper's up. Not something you want to deal with, even through letter, she says with a laugh. So be careful, please? she asks, her expression once more serious with honest concern.

He noticed her blushing slightly as they gazed deeply into each others eyes and his heart skipped a beat...or possibly several. He felt himself blushing too. She was such a wonderful and beautiful lady and he had no idea what she saw in him, but he was glad she did see somthing and that she was here with him.

He was just leaning in to kiss her when he was suddenly jolted back to reality as another couple crashed into them on the dance floor

Hey, watch where you're........ oh sorry he said as he came back to reality and realised it was more their fault than anything for standing in the middle of the dance floor

Hearing Lizzy's suggestion for a drink he thought that was probably a good option before someone else crashed into them. Do you really have to ask? he chuckled as he took her hand in his and headed towards the bar.

Getting to the bar he orderd two beers and handed one to Lizzy giving her a slight kiss on the cheek as he did so. Then taking her free hand in his he just stood there admiring her and lost for words.

Suddenly realising what he was doing he blushed again and looked away quickly

Ladylizzy wrote:Lizzy took the drink, which Moose held out to her, and tried not to smile too much. She felt kind of like a child who just got the puppy she always wanted. He was looking at her again, and she blushed, again.

Her usual reaction to situations like this would have been blind panic, pack up and move to another county, long before now, no forwarding address, that way she couldn't get hurt! Somehow though, she didn't feel like that this time..she felt safe , and, well, happy.

She looked away from Mooses eyes, scanning the room, no one was looking, so raising herself onto her tiptoes, she kissed him slowly, then blushing even deeper, she pulled away smiling at the look on his face...

Mooseboy13 wrote:Lizzy's kiss surprised him, and the look of absolute shock straight after the kiss was evidance of that. It took a moment or two for what had happend to sink in and when it did his face started going bright bright red. His heart was beating a million miles an hour and he didn't know why. He had never felt this way about anyone for aslong as he could remember. Absolutly speechless and his knees turning to jelly he stumbled to the nearest chair and sat down, spilling half his beer in the process.

Hoping that she wouldn't take his silence as a bad thing he waved at her signaling her to join him. As she got near him he grabed her and pulled her onto his lap. Putting his arms around her he hugged her tight to him never wanting to let her go again but knowing that the night was almost over and he would soon have to say good bye as she left to continue on her journey to Scotland.

I don't want to let you go....ever. he said to her softly But I know you must continue your trip north, but should you feel the need please just send word and I will be by your side as fast as I can

I should be getting back to Lynna. I miss her already and we've only been a part a few moments. His eyes were now looking towards Lynna. Watching her move about the room is so sensual.... and sexy at the same time, he thought and shook his head to focus. I'm glad we had a chance to speak as well, and thank you for the well wishes. I will take all the necessary precautions to make sure no harm comes to us. He looked towards Lynna, then back to Liz. Let me know if there is any trouble my way, ok? Hopefully she will, he thought. He didn't want specifics, but if there was trouble.. he needed to protect Lynna. He didn't want them caught in the middle.

He heard Liz speak about her temper, and almost choked. He coughed it out. Yea.. your temper. Almost as bad as mine. He grinned and hugged her one last time. But we'll be ok. Don't worry so much. He smiled, feeling much better now that he'd had a chance to talk to her. He really did appreciate her willingness to set aside differences to accept his wife, it reaffirmed their friendship better than anything else could. Heart feeling much lighter, Arthur left to join his bride. He was curious as to what she was up to!
