  1. [11/27/2011 9:24:19 PM] Pete: "Celiah too?" The big croc asked with a grin, shaking his head a bit, "Aye, she would do well if she does." He paused for a moment, "Do you have a name for 'er?"
  2. [11/27/2011 9:25:00 PM] Loquacious: "I've been thinking about... maybe Holayne?" She shrugs a little, then smiles back. "Mmhmm, a little boy I'm betting."
  3. [11/27/2011 9:26:24 PM] Pete: "That sounds nice." He shifted a little, looking over at the keg he had dropped on the ground some time ago. "I take it you're not much for beer now, considering your..." He pointed at her belly.
  4. [11/27/2011 9:26:46 PM] Loquacious: "Yeah." She grimaces. "Much as I'd like to, not until the baby's born."
  5. [11/27/2011 9:28:12 PM] Pete: "Ah well, I s'pose I'd feel a bit awkward getting drunk all on my lonesome.." It took only a moment though before he caved in, gently setting Lohq aside and leaning over to grab the small barrel with a hand, digging grooves into the dirt as he pulled it over, "Maybe just one then?" His grin turned sheepish.
  6. [11/27/2011 9:28:57 PM] Loquacious: She laughs slightly. Her own temperance hasn't improved, but her conviction's stronger. "You evil temptor, you."
  7. [11/27/2011 9:30:48 PM] Pete: "M'sorry, Loh." He chuckled and filled his wineskin with fairly cheap beer, some of the foam running down the back of his hand when it hit capacity. "S'not great stuff anyway. Lookshy piss."
  8. [11/27/2011 9:32:40 PM] Loquacious: She shrugs and leans against him. "Eh, I've done worse m'self. You say that like I make good stuff."
  9. [11/27/2011 9:36:29 PM] Pete: "I wouldn' say so. It was jus' more of an acquired taste." He nudged her a little in jest before settling down and moving his arm to support her, to make her more comfortable. "You jus' needed to aquire a coupla pints first before it started to taste good." He took a big draw on the skin, draining almost half in a series of gulps.
  10. [11/27/2011 9:37:18 PM] Loquacious: She giggled at that. "Mm, or some good wine first."
  11. [11/27/2011 9:38:27 PM] Pete: "So where are you headed?" He asked, nodding a bit to the caravan.
  12. [11/27/2011 9:39:34 PM] Loquacious: "Lookin' for Ana's old manse. Her labs were there, I can study them and use them."
  13. [11/27/2011 9:42:15 PM] Pete: "Ana?" He let the arm holding the wineskin fall into his lap, though knowing Simak it wouldn't be down there for long.
  14. [11/27/2011 9:42:43 PM] Loquacious: She nodded. "Anaxandra Gaultier. Queen from the first age."
  15. [11/27/2011 9:44:14 PM] Pete: In his travels the lunar had heard a lot of stories, but this wasn't one of them. "Queen Anaxandra.. I can't say I know the name. What did she do?"
  16. [11/27/2011 9:45:41 PM] Loquacious: "Made a lot of artifacts, mostly. She and her partner pretty much holed up in the castle and let her husband and /his/ partner rule the country while they experimented and made things."
  17. [11/27/2011 9:45:59 PM] Loquacious: "She wasn't really a very nice person, but she was a very tallented surgeon and artificer."
  18. [11/27/2011 9:47:27 PM] Pete: "And you think you'll find somethin' there that'll help you with your... Goal?"
  19. [11/27/2011 9:48:12 PM] Loquacious: "I think it'd make for an excellent base. An entire manse built for crafting?"
  20. [11/27/2011 9:50:19 PM] Pete: "Aye. Well, I can see how that might be useful." He nodded, "Jus' be careful the old queen didn' leave you any surprises."
  21. [11/27/2011 9:50:49 PM] Loquacious: Loq tapped her head. "Why would I leave myself anything less than /delightful/ surprises?"
  22. [11/27/2011 9:52:26 PM] Pete: "Yourself?" His brow furrowed a bit, but then realisation quickly crossed his face, "Ah. Old exaltation, then? In that case I'd say you're entitled to the place."
  23. [11/27/2011 9:53:05 PM] Loquacious: "Pretty much. I can almost remember her designs, I'm hoping maybe going there will jog my memory."
  24. [11/27/2011 9:56:04 PM] Pete: "Maybe. You said yourself she wasn' such a good person, and that's always an understatement when talkin' about anyone first age. Jus' be careful you don' become more like her than you'd want."
  25. [11/27/2011 9:58:25 PM] Loquacious: "... Yeah." She sighed and rested her head against his shoulder. "I don't want to be her, I just want to know what she knew."
  26. [11/27/2011 9:59:23 PM] Pete: "It's a slippery slope, Loh. It always is for us." He shrugged slightly and downed the rest of his beer.
  27. [11/27/2011 10:00:18 PM] Loquacious: She nodded. "Seems strange, but at this point I'm just assuming most of them are insane and incompetent."
  28. [11/27/2011 10:04:07 PM] Pete: He grinned at that. "That's what we hope. Power corrupts, but it's not gonna happen to us right?" The big guy mused, moving to refill his drink.
  29. [11/27/2011 10:04:48 PM] Loquacious: She nods. "Yeah. Gotta watch for it... but screw that, y'know?"
  30. [11/27/2011 10:06:25 PM] Pete: "I don't know, Loh." Despite his words he didn't take it any further. Loh's attitude was dangerous, extremely so for a solar but she was also grieving. Now wasn't the time to talk her down, "Jus' don't do anythin' you'll regret."
  31. [11/27/2011 10:08:09 PM] Loquacious: She shrugs a little. "It's just taking things a step further than I did before."
  32. [11/27/2011 10:14:17 PM] Pete: "I s'pose." He conceded. After a moment he leant back a little on his arm, looking up at the sky between the trees overhead, "When was the last time you slept, Loh?" The question wasn't connected to anything, her odd sleeping habits just something he recalled as he looked at the stars.
  33. [11/27/2011 10:14:49 PM] Loquacious: She has to think about it. "... Last week?"
  34. [11/27/2011 10:15:15 PM] Pete: "That's a long time."
  35. [11/27/2011 10:15:35 PM] Loquacious: "Yeah. I... keep seeing him in my sleep, you know?"
  36. [11/27/2011 10:16:57 PM] Pete: He didn't say anything after that, just nodded and squeezed her gently to him with the arm draped around her shoulder.
  37. [11/27/2011 10:17:52 PM] Loquacious: She hugged him. "'M glad to see you, you know."
  38. [11/27/2011 10:19:45 PM] Pete: "Same to you, Loh. S'been too long." He gave her a small smile, looking a little out of place on his rugged features.
  39. [11/27/2011 10:20:39 PM] Loquacious: She smiled back and nuzzled against him. "Yeah. Much too long."
  40. [11/27/2011 10:22:16 PM] Pete: "I c'n stick around for a bit, and travel with you. If you want?" He suggested after a moment, "There's nowhere I need to be for a long while."
  41. [11/27/2011 10:22:34 PM] Pete: "An' nowhere I'd rather be." He added.
  42. [11/27/2011 10:22:59 PM] Loquacious: "I'd like that." She smiled widely and hugged him tightly.
  43. [11/27/2011 10:25:51 PM] Pete: The big croc hugged her back, almost enveloping her completely in his broad arms. "S'the least I can do, Loh."
  44. [11/27/2011 10:27:24 PM] Loquacious: Not that she objects, throwing her arms around his neck and squeezing back. "I still appreciate it."
  45. [11/27/2011 10:33:37 PM] Pete: (Want to stop there for this? Not really sure where else to go 'cept just more conversation.)
  46. [11/27/2011 10:34:00 PM] Pete: (Not that I mind that, just seems a bit un-dramatic lul)
  47. [11/27/2011 10:34:31 PM] Loquacious: [sure XD]
  48. [11/27/2011 10:34:52 PM] Loquacious: [it's pretty much just snuggles and talking from there, and possibly her falling asleep on him]
