Curse of Strahd dnd campaign

Ireena smiles and leans up to kiss her. "So what you're saying is.. You're my prisoner huh? Sounds good to me." She does her best attempt at an evil laugh, which is awful but entertaining. "I know you need to rest and relax. I'll help you with anything you need, okay? All you have to do is ask. And I know Lucan will do the same. I'll be nice about it too, I promise. Sorry you got hurt so badly.. Just trying to protect me. I feel bad.." She rubs her head lightly against Quinn before taking a bite of stew finally.
 
/me leans into Ireena a bit "don't feel bad. it was my choice" she rests her head against her and closes her eyes, just enjoying a moment "anyway. i think for most of the night im just gonna try and sit. so maybe bring me something to drink and hang out a little. then if you and lucan wanna slip off its fine and if not that's also fine"
 
Ireena looks up and Quinn and shakes her head. "You were just injured pretty badly in battle, you think im going to sneak off with him tonight? It'll be fine. Maybe tomorrow.. But at least for tonight I'm staying with you, unless you want me to go." She waits for a few moments before coming back with a mug of beer and a cup of water. "Which would you prefer m'lady?"
 
Quinn takes the water "thanks angel" she sips at it, then gestures "you can sit on the good one if you're careful" she laughs "or maybe you could help me stand and i can sit in your lap after. that would probably take a lot longer though you know?" she wriggles a little, trying to get comfy on the stump she's sitting on.
 
Ireena shakes her head and smiles, "Come on." She helps lift Quinn gently. She takes a seat on the stump and then helps Quinn down to sit in her lap. "I'm not risking somehow hurting your good leg, then I'd really feel bad.." She wraps her arms around Quinn and holds her close. "Thanks for protecting me, even if you did it in a dumb way and got yourself hurt.. I still appreciate it."
 
Quinn grins "so, thanks... dumbass?" she laughs "you sound like asshat" she bops Ireena with her fingertip and then leans in and kisses Ireena "man you're soft. you make a great seat. way more comfortable then the stump. i might have to fake permanent debilitating injury if it means i get to have a more comfortable seat for dinner from here out"
 
Ireena grins and kisses Quinn back softly. "I already told you, you can sit on me any time you want." She holds Quinn close and looks into her eyes. "You're comparing me to Asshat now? Well that's just rude, I am WAY nicer. Just because you did something I thought was dumb.. You still saved me from getting hurt. I'm trying to be grateful not make fun of you. Besides, I'm way more fun than Asshat, he wishes he was as cool as me."
 
Resting her head on Ireena's shoulder she nestles in a bit "He does wish that. you're the oooooolest" she grins and makes her tone jokey but there's some sincerity. she wraps her arms around her girl and squeezes her in a bit "i need to sleep on the edge tonight to keep you two from accidentally banging my leg"
 
Ireena nods slowly and closes her eyes. She runs her hand over Quinn's arm. "Fair enough, I'll sleep in the middle then. I know its not as cold here but still. Better have Lucan take care of that in the morning too, the last thing we need is for that to get worse. The carriage ride will not be fun for you in the morning.. And we have to leave so early, I'll make sure I'm awake and get everyone up. I know everyone wants to rest and sleep off that fight, but we just started a timer breaking that connection."
 
Quinn nestles in a little closer "yeah i understand. we have to move. recouperating in the carriage will suck pretty fucking hard but... you're right. we started something and now we absolutely have to finish it. she licks her lips and then kisses Ireena's neck "so we ned to be fast
 
Ireena's had moved to the side as Quinn kisses her neck. "We need to cover as much distance as we can as far as we can. Its going to take a couple days but if we can get to the last one and break that connection we have a shot. If he gets to us first.. I hope your leg is healed by then. I know being in the carriage will suck, but if there's anything I can do to help, just tell me okay? I want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible."
 
Quinn nods "plenty of cushioning i think is the order of the day" she kisses ireena again "speed is the most important thing. my comfort is secondary" she swallows and runs her fingers along her back. she slips her hand down and squeezes her butt, then kisses her temple and then tugs on her earlobe.
 
Ireena quivers in Quinn's arms, she moans quietly as Quinn tugs at her earlobe. "Plenty of cushioning, got it. Uhm.. I have a pillow you could use to help." She runs her fingers through Quinn's hair, tugging on it gently. "We will definitely be quick but I'll still be focused on your comfort, you know that." She leans up and kisses Quinn's lips before leaving a trail of kisses down her neck.
 
Quinn laughs and wriggles a bit, pulling away from ireena's lips "you're gonna make me regret being too hurt to slip off if you keep that up" she turns and brushes her cheek along Ireena's, then squeezes her a little tighter in her arms "so which one is next? mountain or swamp? youre the local expert. what's the shortest route?"
 
"Wouldn't want you getting more hurt, sorry.. Couldn't help it." She's quiet for a moment as she thinks. "Swamp first, then the mountain shouldn't be too far away. There isn't really a short route straight there.. Theres only one way and it's not the safest route from what I hear so its gonna be fun.. What awful timing to have half the party hurt." She sighs and looks out over the camp. Lucan is taking erlen's normal patrol while Erlen leans against a tree, clearly upset he can't move much. Marius and Ezmerelda are already in their tent relaxing and turning in for the night.
 
Quinn nods and rubs Ireena's back "yeah well. this was always going to be a super short window and so" she shrugs "we are just gonna have to suffer through it you know? guess you and lucan and marius will have to be a little more proactive while erlan and Es and i chill a bit. but... we will get our shit together and hit this swamp fane. maybe it will be a puzzle or something? instead of a fight"
 
Ireena nods and presses her back lightly into Quinn's hand. "Maybe, but I'm not going to get my hopes up, I feel like we aren't lucky enough for that. Lucan, Marius, and I will keep an eye out though. Don't worry, we will make sure you all stay safe. You're all injured so you need rest and to relax. No fighting for any of you unless its absolutely necessary. And if we do get in a fight no trying to distract anyone. But maybe we will have a safe smooth trip.. Maybe we are lucky enough for that."
 
Quinn nods "my luck is shit but it comes in streaks so" she trails off and shifts to stay comfortable seated in Ireena's lap "we will see how it comes out" she sighs "why dont you help me off to bed, so we can get a nice early start in the morning? we can still talk and stuff but i think i wanna lay down"
 
Ireena nods and gently helps Quinn up before standing up herself. She helps Quinn to their tent and strips out of her armor before laying down. "Lucan might not even join us tonight, I feel like he's going to stay up keeping watch after all of this.. We should get an early start though. I think he's going to be tired so hopefully he can sleep a bit on the ride. Marius and I can sit up on the wagon and carriage."
 
Quinn frowns at that "you and marius can take watches too. he's worse than i am by far" she curls up, keeping her injured leg off to the side so Ireena wont bump it "but ill be glad to be wrapped up with you for a bit."
 
She nods and pulls Quinn close. "I'll take a watch after you fall asleep. No matter what we do these next few days aren't going to be easy. As long as you're safe though it'll be okay." She runs her fingers through Quinn's hair. "We will get it figured out, no reason to worry. I'll make sure to cook some food early too so we can eat and leave right away."
 
Quinn nod "good idea" she wraps her arm around Ireena "so what was it like to grow up around here anyway? what's your earliest memory? i know you dont have recollection before a certain point"
 
"My earliest memory.. I have vague memories of being foundnwandering the forest. After that.. Getting punched in the face by this bitch because I borrowed her toy. Which wasn't a fun time. Marius was furious, I thought he was going to beat her up at one point. That didn't end up happening though. We ended up having a thing when we grew up.. Growing up here was pretty boring though. I guess it didn't help I was pretty much locked in the mansion most of the time. But its always just grey skies, rain, and snow. So its pretty depressing. The only times I really got to go out is when I snuck out to the tavern. Which was fun but then I could either get dragged back home by Marius or walked home drunk and paranoid id get caught." She takes a deep breath and cuddles into Quinn. "I know your childhood wasn't easy. If only I had been born out of this land and closer to you. We could have kicked some major ass together.."
 
Quinn wraps Ireena in close "poor kids work from the jump" she kisses ireena's forehead "but that doesn't mean i never had any fun" she runs her fingers through Ireena's hair "i didnt run away till I was 12, so i got the whole.. family... thing. but just like, a good 8 hours a day were for working. I ran errands for people and when i was old enough my stepfather taught me to break into houses" she runs her fingers along Ireena's back "i didn't like stealing things, because i always felt sad like the people would miss it. so i'd always look for cash which he preferred anyway because you could spend it. He'd boost me into open windows and stuff cause i was small. he taught me to pick locks and look for traps and stuff." she smiles over at Ireena "at first it was like a big game"
 
Ireena smiles and leans over to kiss Quinn softly. "I'm sure at first it was entertaining for you. A fun little game. At least you grew up and realized people would miss things. Even if you still ended up stealing money." She raises an eyebrow as she looks at Quinn. "But did you ever get caught though? Thats the real question. Or were you the perfect thief and got yourself out of every situation?" She rubs her head lightly against Quinn's chest. "But now we have thr biggest heist of all, stealing all of Strahd's gold and buying all the things once we leave here. He has to have a fortune guarded away somewhere in that castle.. And he won't miss it because he will be dead. Like really dead, not undead."
