You sleep well. You wake some time later.

There's a second bed in the room, pulled up next to yours.

Beowulf stirs groggily, and does a mental inventory, to see how he
feels.

Lily is clonked out in the bed, buried under several layers of sheets.

Beowulf smiles gently at her.

Your skin is still kind of tender, but you feel much better

Beowulf asks, "OOC Does she look tired?"

And you're peeling a lot, leaving you looking rather pale.

Lily says, "OOC She's asleep.  It's hard to tell if a sleeping person is
tired :)"

Beowulf mentally shrugs at his tan. Easy come, easy go.

Beowulf gently sits up, seeing if he feels dizzy.

You're in the clothing you conjured for yourself earlier.

You feel fine, though you need food pretty desperately.

Beowulf goes into the kitchen and begins cooking cornmeal pancakes and
bacon for breakfast.

Beowulf stops for a minute, doh's, and adds enough to cook for two
people.

Lily emerges, yawning and rubbing her eyes.  She's wearing one of those
transluscent blue silk nighties which hints very strongly.

"That smells good," she says, smiling.

Beowulf finishes cooking. "Ah, good morning, Lily." He sees what she's
wearing and blushes.

Beowulf gestures at the plate he was starting to put together. "I was
going to bring you breakfast in bed, but..."

She smiles.  "Thank you, but I think I'll fall asleep again if I don't
sit in something a little harder."  She sits down at the table. "I could
use some orange juice if you have any."

Beowulf opens the refrigerator and pours some OJ for her.

Beowulf says, "My, aren't we domestic?" He grins.

Lily says, "This has certainly been one of my more unusual dates, I can
tell you that."

Beowulf rolls his eyes and sighs. "Yes, I can imagine. I'm sorry for all
the trouble."

Beowulf reaches over and gives her a quick hug. "Thank you for being
here, and helping."

Her eyes widen and she smiles, then kisses you on the cheek. "Oh, it was
fun."  Her arms wrap around you.  "Although I can think of something
else that would be fun," she purrs into your ear.

Beowulf blushes. "Um, yes?" His arms tighten around her in reflex.

Lily laughs.  "Beowulf, Beowulf, Beowulf...how old are you now?"

Beowulf grins. "Depends on how you count the years, dear lady." He
blushes again. "About 33-34 years in experienced time, I suppose. And
still a virgin." He blushes harder.

Beowulf just stares, lost in Lily's blue eyes.

Lily tickles your ear.  "Are you waiting for marriage or just for the
right opportunity?"

Beowulf says, "...the right person, I think."

Beowulf looks into Lily's eyes again. "Have I found her?"

She grins.  "I believe you have, my dear Beowulf."  She leans forward
and kisses you firmly on the lips.

And then you feel someone trying to trump you.

Beowulf breaks the kiss regretfully. "And I believe someone's trying to
trump me now. Isn't it always the way? I'm feeling a little paranoid at
the moment; could you try and break the contact if they try to eat my
brain?"

Beowulf smiles ruefully.

She nods, and takes your hand. "I'm ready."

Beowulf takes the contact.

It's Mitsune.  She's waving a sheet of paper around; looks like she's in
the gardens.  "Hah!  The moonlight DID do stuff!"

Then she notices Lily holding your hand in that outfit.  Her eyes widen
slightly, then she laughs.  "Well, well."

Beowulf chuckles ruefully. "Great! Look, can I get back to you in a
couple of minutes? Oh, and what time is it now? We've been a bit
timelagged."

Mitsune says, "Hmm?  Oh, it's around 9 pm or so."

Beowulf shrugs. "We were having breakfast, after I was recovering from
being burned. Tell you about it after I finish healing; fortunately,
we're fast-time here."

She nods.  "Oh, I hear Derith's son showed up; he's up seeing the King
right now with Kanna."

Beowulf nods. "Good enough; I'll fast-time harder to get completely
healed, and should be back with you in a minute or two."

She nods.  "Healing.  RIGHT."  She grins.  "Have fun with sis." And then
she drops the trump contact.

Beowulf says, "OOC What, she didn't see the paled and peeling skin? o.o"
Lily says, "OOC She also noticed the sister in translucent pajamas :)"

Beowulf raises an eyebrow at Lily. "Unless you don't normally wear
nighties like that at home?" He grins.

Lily says, "Actually, I normally sleep naked, but I didn't want to
embarrass you."

Beowulf says, "...oh."

Beowulf says, "Thank you." He smiles.

Beowulf asks, "Now... um, where were we?"

She laughs ruefully.  "I'm afraid I now have this lingering fear that
Mitsune is going to pop out of a closet if I try anything."  She kisses
you again. "Then again, the look on her face would be worth the risk."

Beowulf says, "As you wish." He chuckles. "I'm not Peter Falk, nor
Westly, but..."

She picks you up.  "Oh, I always liked Indiana Jones myself."

Beowulf says, "...oh, my." He smiles, and hugs her closer.

===============================
===============================

We draw the 'Oh my' screen over the remainder of this scene, I think...
:)

Beowulf says, "OOC Indeed. :)"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher OOCly puts one mark next to Beowulf's name

The rest of your time, we can skim over fairly lightly.  Are you
planning to head back to Amber and meet Kanna once you're functional, or
do you have anything else to do?

Beowulf says, "OOC Check out the stuff in the bag to make sure the
Master didn't plant any nasty traps in them, repair/replace as
necessary... oh."

=============================
=============================

Beowulf asks, "Lily, can you run that long cross-shadow trace on the
Master in here while we're on fast-time?"

Lily says, "Unfortunately, because time is not accelerated outside the
bag, it would take large amounts of real time."

Beowulf says, "Ah. OK, we'll have to save that for when we have a few
more spare moments. And keep a close eye out for him."

Beowulf checks over the items in the bag, then steps outside and goes
looking for Kanna. "Do you want to come along, Lily, or go talk with
Mitsune?"

Lily says, "I'll go see what Mitsune found out, and then I ought to do a
little work.  Call me if you need me."

Beowulf says, "Will do, Lily-chan." He smiles tenderly at her.

==============================
==============================

Lily says, "OOC Cool.  And now I can hopefully hook you up with Kanna
and Lian and you can go sea-raiding :)"

Beowulf says, "OOC Lily was right; that was a most unusual date. o.o"

Lily says, "OOC Well, Lily got much further with you than she expected
:)"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "when you said things were moving
faster in the game than you anticipated john, you weren't kidding...."

Beowulf says, "OOC Well, as with Thalera, there comes a time when you
have to give in gracefully... :)"

Lily says, "OOC Heh."

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher asks, "what day is herr wulf on now?"

Beowulf says, "OOC Still on evening of Day 3, I think."

Lily says, "OOC 9 pm on Day 3"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "fast time does great things :)"

Lily says, "OOC Once we run his sea raid, he will move on to day 4."

Beowulf says, "OOC The wonders of fast-time... yup, Rod. :)"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "did anyone in TAMD get on the board
this fast? O.o"

Beowulf says, "Kanna and I's sea raid, you mean. :)"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher asks, "sea raid? what they raidin?"

Gabrielle says, "Opium smugglers."

Beowulf says, "Going after what's supposed to be an opium-smuggling
boat. Kanna wants to check it out beforehand to make sure, and I agree."

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "aaah"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher asks, "what port?"

Beowulf says, "Amber. Supposed to be arriving around 1 AM."

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "hnn."

Beowulf says, "Well, that probably wraps it up for me for the morning.
Unless anyone has anything to add? ^_^"

Lily says, "I think everything's about summed up :)"

Beowulf says, "In that case, I'll seeya all later. :)"

Jacqueline the Planet Smasher says, "ciao, prof"

Beowulf waves.
