The Outlook

[DarkWarrioress]

Dressed in running shorts and tank top. her hair drawn into a ponytail, ear buds secured tightly in her ears, she continues running along the shoreline until the Outlook comes into view. Making a quick turn she runs up the steps and peers around.

She takes a towel from a staff member and orders a tall glass of water with a splash of lime.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

I have no title....I am a nothing....

Takes another deep drink and then sets the bottle back down

hedge witch, that is funny

 

[Britwitch]

She giggles in response.

You're telling me it is! But you're wrong, no one is a nothing...

The witch replies, a little blurrily, lifting a finger and gently prodding his chest.

See, if you were a nothing my finger would have gone right through you!

She giggles again, glancing up to smile at the athletic young woman who has just entered for a moment before looking back into his eyes.

 

[TheScarletBlade]

Notices a certain red head and grins evilly as he grabs the half drank bottle of....well whatever this happened to be and holds it out to her as he spins somewhat slowly around in his stool and offers it to her

Cait.....have a drink!

Looks at the finger with wide eyes and then shakes his head a little


maybe it did go through me...how do you know?

 

[DarkWarrioress]

She giggles in response.

She giggles again, glancing up to smile at the athletic young woman who has just entered for a moment before looking back into his eyes.

She smiles catching the eye of Britwitch, a friendly smile having seen the lady in here before.

"Milady. Good Evening to you. I think it is evening, in your part of the world, yes? I'm Cait or DW if you like."

Her eyes stray toward Blade, lingering a moment with concern lacing her look. Her attention is drawn back to the waiter who brings her drink.

Walking across the room, with her own drink in hand, she stands a moment in front of him.

"I would ask what ails you, Blade but I do not wish to interrupt the conversation between you and this lovely lady."

 

[Britwitch]

Pleasure to meet you Cait, please call me Brit. And yes, it is evening in my part of the world although no where near dark, up here in the Arctic North sunset isn't until midnight at the moment! Which is as wierd as it is wonderful!!

She giggles before glancing back to her drinking companion

And I guess I'll just have to believe my eyes that I can see you and that I'm sure I felt you with my finger tip...if you were nothing, I would have felt nothing!

She pokes her tongue out playfully before draining the rest of her drink.

"I would ask what ails you, Blade but I do not wish to interrupt the conversation between you and this lovely lady."

Let me find my sword and you shall have your answer!

says with some ethusasium as he slips off his stool, catching himself on unbalanced feet, staggering slightly as he looks around trying to find a sword he has no idea where it might be but thought might be close for some reason

She pokes her tongue out playfully before draining the rest of her drink.

She turned sideways to speak to the gracious, apparently teasing lady, "A pleasure, Brit. The world seems to hold many wonders and I haven't had the pleasure of exploring nearly half of them yet. So, what are you two discussing, if I might ask?"

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Let me find my sword and you shall have your answer!

says with some ethusasium as he slips off his stool, catching himself on unbalanced feet, staggering slightly as he looks around trying to find a sword he has no idea where it might be but thought might be close for some reason

She makes a grab for his arm, chuckling. "Whoa. Blade. Another day, sir. You're not quite fit to wield a sword today, friend."

 

[Britwitch]

Your question is a good one. Although I'm not entirely sure, we were discussing beliefs, amongst other things...

She smiles again at Cait

...the fact that I may have had a drink, or three, more than I usually do might well be to blame for my confusion though.

Seeing Blade stumble she reaches out to help steady him. Mumbling,

Your sword...?

 

[TheScarletBlade]

I could slay a hundred men and leave a pile of skulls for Morrigan without breaking a sweat right now, my dear temptress

Says as he dances casually past her grab with an extravagent almost theatrical move as he continues his search for his swords

Yes, my sword!

Shouts casually as he takes a few more steps to continue his search

"Ahhh, the silliness of today being part of the topic I gather?" She smiled, "Blade and I fence, if you can call it that. I use dual blades and he uses a rapier. it makes for an interesting fight." her smile got wider and her eyes twinkled.

Shouts casually as he takes a few more steps to continue his search

"And so speaks the rashness of drink. Blade? Handsome One? I do not have my swords with me today. Do not bother yourself to search for thine."

She calls after him but she thinks in vain. "And Morri wouldn't thank you for those pile of skulls." She added as an afterthought.

 

[Britwitch]

You gather correctly...

She settles back against the bar, her assistance is clearly not needed by Blade right now.

...and I imagine it must. I have to admit to being fascinated by sword play but I lack the coordination to do it myself, would end up doing myself harm with a butter knife let alone a sword! Magick's my tool of choice should I need to defend myself.

"Ah, but you can wield an athame, Brit," she smiled back, inclining her head in respect and acknowledgement of the lady's calling, "I tread the God/dess path for 20 years until my feet drew me elsewhere. And swords are such lovely things. The first time I held a bastard sword, I thought I was going to drop the edge on my foot and cut it off," *soft laugh at that remembered moment, "I have conditioned myself better to wield one now."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

She would indeed for she is the goddess of death!

Says triumphantly as he looks at Cait seriously

Why resist...you know you like to fight my pretty lady!

 

[DarkWarrioress]

Says triumphantly as he looks at Cait seriously

She chuckled, "Blade, don't give her more souls until she wants them. Morri is a bit touchy about that. And who's resisting you, Blade? I merely state that I did not come prepared today," she inclined her head, "I do. But at this moment, I do not wish you to do anything reckless or something you would later regret."

 

[TheScarletBlade]

The raven goddess is always hungry for souls!

Declares loudly as he offers her a little smile

As for things I regret, I have done plently lately to add onto everything else

She sighed, took a sip from her glass before setting it down and gave Brit an apologetic look before marching over to Blade and slammed her palm against his shoulder.

That I do, but as you know, it's purpose and technique is slightly different...

An incline of her own head in appreciation and respect

...blades are beautiful and breathtaking when used properly. I am content to watch the masters at work but I would hope not to be treated to such a display now...

She glances a little anxiously between Cait and Blade

 

[TheScarletBlade]

What was that for?

Looks wide eyed at her after she hit him solidly in the shoulder. Recovering his balance barely, hes still mystified why she would have struck him so

She glances a little anxiously between Cait and Blade

She glanced over at Brit, knowing the pretty lady's look, "Don't worry, Milady. Sometimes warriors only understand a bit of force. Blade and I are friends. Indeed, the athame's purpose is different, but still in the hands of its owner it is a graceful beautiful sight to behold when used."

She turned her head back toward Blade, pinning him with a stare, "Because you're acting foolish and you know it. Now. What ails you, my friend? It pains me to see you so troubled instead of flirting with the pretty ladies."

I understand...and I thank you for the compliment...

She turns away from the warriors and reaches over the bar to pour herself a cool glass of water. The alcohol swimming in her veins starting to fuzz her vision and slow her speech, not good when trying to make a good first impression. Sipping it she turns back.
