*offers Mari a light kiss on the top of her head and brushes the hair from her face where it peeks out from her cocoon*

Morning, Mari. Still not feeling well, I take it...

*looks around for a moment*

Has anyone seen Essie. She fell asleep in here last night. I've been kind of worried about her.

Nope... burning up now ...

*sighs softly*

Essie? ... no I met her ... briefly ... no idea ... where she ended up ...


:rose:
 
Aww, Mari. I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's just a touch of the flu that will pass soon...

Thank you Cravon ... I hope so too as I'm supposed to be on taking a short break for the next few days ... *sighs* ...

Do you think I could trouble you for a glass of ice water ... it seems to be my drink of choice currently ... ?

:rose:

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to zone out for so long. Of course, I will get you whatever you need.

*rises and moves to the bar to get her a large glass of ice water*
 
*tries his best to concentrate, but could really use new ideas and active partners*
 
*strolls into the Inn carrying her trusty backpack crammed with books and paper and claims one of the comfortable couches halfway between the fireplace and the bar*

Evening all...

*pulls some paper out and starts working on some overdue doodles*
 
Popping in after a long day of fighting big business stupidity and incompetence, I head to the bar for a drink. I see dragon and Angel in their respective chairs, each busy in their own thoughts and scribbling.

Giving Angel a warm hug and a kiss, "Hello there Miss Angel, I see that there are no broken bones or other injuries from the return of your Nemesis. I trust you've stopped by a local hardware store for the necessary supplies to knock him down a peg or two? Thank you for your posts by the way, I enjoyed them both and will have replies to you shortly!"

Waving, "Hey dragon, keep plugging, an idea will come."
 
*looks up startled when HF comes in as it had been quieter than the stacks of a library since she arrived*

Hi HF!

*returns the hug and kiss with affection*

No broken bones, although my typing speed is somewhat hampered at the moment. No trips to the hardware store, although it's tempting!

I did, however, have a frank discussion with my mentor... Something I've been putting off for awhile now. He's offered some things for me to consider before I take any additional steps. Unfortunately he's discouraging me from going off on the big jerk! :rolleyes:
 
Ahhh the realities of workplace politics. I don't miss them so much. :rolleyes:

I'm sure however that a few 'anonymous' pranks here and there might liven your spirits. Nothing says 'gotcha' better than a drawer or file folder filled with pink glitter! Or a random act of "crumpled newspaper explosion" in someones office to deliver a subtle message that their behavior is not appreciated in general.

Just a thought. :D
 
I'm pretty sure that after yesterday's episode that any pranks played on him will be laid at my doorstep regardless of whether I was involved or not, but I still need plausible deniability. ;)
 
Leaning close to angel I whisper into her ear...

"I may have an 'in' with a group of former Camp Counselors that would put Meatballs to shame... just give me the high sign."
 
*shivering a little as his warm breath tickles my ear*

Hmmm, will have to keep that in mind... :D
 
Well Miss Angel, as much fun as it is to verbally dance with you, I had a very late night last night and an early morning tomorrow. So, I'm going to make like a prom dress and take off. My pillows are calling me.

Have a great evening. :rose:
 
Slips quietly into the Inn to tend to the fire and prepare the coffee pot, knowing that I have been remis in my duties of late due to sickness. I was now following the advice of someone recently come into my real world. I may be under the weather but would not all it to control my actions. I hade missed the China Pearl and the solace my beloved chores gave me.

I tidied up while waiting for the coffee after which I poured myself a mug and laid some some freshly baked breakfast scones. Soon i was headed to my favorite spot in. The shadows to enjoy the delicious brew and contemplate my day.

" Have a wonderful day all who follow I whispered to the ether." :rose:

I make my way down from the rooms on the second floor on this damp overcast morning and I am greeted by the shy Miss of the shadows as she tends to her beloved morning chores.

Morning Yeishia you look tired this morning.

I slip back from the shadows to offer him a hug and a kiss on his cheek afer whic I prepare him a mug of coffee which I set before him together with a single white rose, scone, jam and freshly churned butter.

" it is howI seem to start and end my days of late Sir," I answer wishing it were not so.

" things will change... I am working hard to make it so"

Ummm thanks Miss.

I savor that first sip of freshly brewed coffee.

One day at a time Yeishia. So has your assistant returned to work?
 
I settle my self at his feet for a moment my head resting on his knee.

I have been told to live in the moment Sir, good advice, I really have to stop worrying about tomorrow.

Yes my assistant finally started back on Monday though she is far from well."

I look up into his eyes speaking earnestly.

. " Sir If I were to describe my place here at the Inn I might say that I was the submissive who inhabits its shadows.

I feel that I belong here it is almost as if I am part of the fabric of the place...not your submissive... IT'S submissive...the Chinas Pearl... that is."

Blushing my voice trails off as I try to gather my thoughts.

" I do indeed cherish my beloved chores, but if relinquishing them helped another in need I would gladly do so, I hope you know that Sir?

The girl of the other night seemed in pain ...if she needs help...if I can help in some small way?"

The Inn Yeishia has the need of many people's talents. Yours is tending the fire and brewing our dark seductive coffee.;)

The young Miss, Essie, will be taking care of the guest rooms upstairs. Like I said the Inn can take car of many a wander that needs a place to shelter from the storm for a time being and has the need of many and individual's talents if it is to survive Yeishia.

Smiles and rises gracefully giving him another hug.

"Thank you Sir., seductive coffee does seem to be becomming a specialty of mine which Of course I am always happy to prepare for everyone.

Speaking of beverages, may I bring you something Sir?"

* giggles blushing as I move off to fetch him some tea.*

Part of me wishes I wore a kimono so I could do such a service justice. Instead I settle for bringing him his favorite blend in a mug and setting it beside him on a napkin.

" I finished work early today. When do you leave for your summer teaching Sir?" I ask of him as I settle with my own drink, feet curled under me on one end of the long sofa.
