Add A Line

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

I stepped forward quickly intending to continue, half blinded by the heat of my wrath, but he was too swift for me.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

I watched as he stepped aside, allowing my momentum to carry me into the hard, wooden door.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

"Don't start," he spat, his heavy Scottish accent sounding far more fierce than I recalled.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"'Don't start,'" I mocked from the floor, "You started this by arriving here!"

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

"So ye thinks I came here on me own account?" he asked, peering down at me, and raising high one bushy eyebrow.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Then why are you in my house?" I retorted angrily.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"We was a put a little out of our ways - Ye certaintly are living in a hermit like way, brother!"

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

I rose slowly to my feet, never taking my eyes off him.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

Any Crown-Man, particularly my brother, was not to be trusted.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

"Always heard that hermits treated company with right nice kindess, a meal maybe?"

[Jonathan , The Wise]

I glared at him, "I would never treat anyone who serves the Crown to such hospitality!"

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

My brother sighed, put his fingers to his mouth and whistled, and the next moment the golden haired lady I had seen with him earlier appeared in the doorway.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

She had a bewitching smile, the reason for which became obvious as she raised a dainty hand.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

I cowered; my brother was one thing, but enchantment was another.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

An arc of light flickered on the edge of her index finger threateningly.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

"I-I believe you said something about a meal?" I stammered, slumping in defeat.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"You are most...enchanting," the woman's voice was soft but tinged with venom.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"As you are threatening, miss." I replied, straightening up and pulling at the crinkles in my sleeve.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"It's Miss Threatening, actually...Miss Nora Threatening."

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"How suiting..."

[Jonathan , The Wise]

The smile broadened visibly upon her face.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

I shuddered because these people were in my house.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"So," I asked, "What can I get you ladies first?"

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Don't refer to me as a girl, brother, ever again, or i will kill in such a painful and brutal manner you will die screaming..." My kind brother growled murderously, "But my Lady would like some salad, at the least?"

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"Salad and water, no meat or else I cannot perform...my duties."

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"What du-" I started, but then cut off from the murdrous look still on my brother's face.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"One does not question the Lady," he stated.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"And this lady represents....?" I countered.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

A solid blow placed me on the floor again.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Ouch. What was that for?" i muttered, getting up off the floor for the second time in a row.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"Stop talking!" My brother was in a foul mood.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Oh, look.... Talkety, talketty, talk talk." i said, being immature.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

My brother's eyes narrowed dangerously.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

Sighing, i relented my immaturity and instead asked a reasonable question, "Why are you even at my house, anyway? There's a Inn just down the road that is never full..."

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"Because that house of drunkards is not fit for a lady!"

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Of what status is she? Noble? If commoner, she can do just as the rest of us normal people do!" i said, walking into my tiny tidy kitchen and getting out the equipment i needed to make a salad.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"Royal blood actually," the woman answered this time.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

I stop what i was doing and turned to my brother, asking, "And you brought her here?"

[Jilda]

My brother replied, "Hell yeah I brought her. Someone has to be the DD if we're drinking Tequila!"

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"We are not amused," I said in answer to his jibe.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"We?" my borther inqired, raising an eyebrow, "got a friend here, have you?"

[Jonathan , The Wise]

"Trust me, royalty in the future will use that line to death!"

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

"Always with the jokes, brother. Always.." he sighed tiredly.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

I refocused my attention to the preparation of the salad.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

There is, it must be said, nothing to take the anger away from a man like making a salad.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

I started to whistle as I made the salad cheerfully, not realizing I was.

[Jonathan , The Wise]

The tune was an old one our mother used to sing over our cribs.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

My brothers eyes narrowed, recognizing the tune.

[Julius, He Who Arises in Might (:D)]

Presently, I finished preparing the sparse meal and set it before him- only to have it thrown up into my face.

[Phoebe, TheInvincibleRabbit]

I sighed,"You've never changed, have you?"
