• The man opens the door, not his butler, this time just him. Swaggering quite obviously, his eyes are bloodshot and his appearance unkept. He flashes a demonic smile at her and sweeps his arm around her shoulders quickly. "Long time, my love." (NT) -- Noel, 15:34:21 05/15/01 Tue
  • ~~She gives him a hard look and shakes her head.~~Keeping busy I see...~~She walks past him into the house, removing his arm from her shoulders she watches him, wishing she would have found him sober.~~ (NT) -- Lady Jaradae D'Argon, 15:38:43 05/15/01 Tue
    • "That I have, my favorite mare foaled this morn. The mare has passed on since, luckily I have a mare who lost her foal not long ago. Nice mare I must say, one of the more beautiful of my herd. Sleek thoroughbred, bred from desert blood, the power to run she had. Would have made a wonderful race mare. Had she not injured her fetlock last winter." He rambles on for a while. Plopping onto the large overstuffed sofa. (NT) -- Noel, 15:41:38 05/15/01 Tue
      • ~~She shakes her head.~Your mare foals and you get intoxicated...hate to think what you would do when your wife has a child...~~She sits down in a wingback chair across from him. Leaning back she watches him, something not right...the Noel she thought she knew would never get drunk over a mare's foal...there is something deeper than that...~~ (NT) -- Lady Jaradae, 15:46:48 05/15/01 Tue
        • He leans forward and slaps his thighs. "Me? Wife? Children?" He stares blankly at her, almost staring through her, through to the other side. "Hell, This would be my longest standing relationship." Standing up he walks over to the window and whips open the shades. A flood of light entering the dank dark room. He squints off at the horses in pasture and the beautiful landscape. "I think I'm losing my touch." (NT) -- Noel, 15:48:37 05/15/01 Tue
          • What touch, Noel?~~She smirks, she would be acting nicer if he was sober when she arrived...~~ (NT) -- Lady Jaradae, 15:52:10 05/15/01 Tue
            • He waves his hand at her and flashes a rude glare. "Jaradae, do you think I have a future? or do I seem like the kind of man who will never live in one place for long.. never amount to anything..." (NT) -- Noel, 15:55:04 05/15/01 Tue
              • ~~She glares, her eyes turn an ice blue, to match her cold mood.~~Je ne sais pas.~~She says, translating quickly.~~I don't know...what do you want to do?~~Her tone is somewhat softened, but she is still annoyed, thinking she should leave soon, before she says something she will regret.~~ (NT) -- Lady Jaradae, 16:07:46 05/15/01 Tue
                • He turns to stare outside the window, not quite all there. "Would you like to go see the foal?" He grins softly, begining to sober up, but still a bit out of it. (NT) -- Noel, 18:59:42 05/15/01 Tue
                  • ~She shakes her head slowly and answers briskly.~No, not yet, you are going to answer my questions first...~She pauses then continues.~Sit.~She commands motioning with her head to the over stuffed sofa across from her, waiting her eyes still a cold shade of blue watching him, knowing he will be ticked off at the least.~ (NT) -- Lady Jaradae, 19:02:35 05/15/01 Tue
                    • He turns around angrily, peeved at her for some invisible reason. "What question?" His mind flashes to duke lain but he chooses not to confront her about what they were speaking, for now he would try to trust her. (NT) -- Noel, 19:06:28 05/15/01 Tue
                      • ~She looks at him as if he should know what question.~Your acting differently...the Noel that I thought I knew would never get himself intoxicated because his mare had a foal...What is wrong?~Suddenly her eyes lighten slightly and she nods smiling mischeviously.~Would this be because I was talking with Duke Lane? Dare I say that you, Noel Marnier is jealous?~She laughs slightly finding it hard to believe that the smallest conversation would set him off like this.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 19:13:40 05/15/01 Tue
• He shrugs, looking rather meloncholey. "You don't know me... You should be glad..." He turns away to face the window. "it's not about the foal. the mare was my first, she reminded me of my long ago travels, my life amung gypsies, the life I had that was so exciting. All I do nowadays is mope around my manor. I've fancied this life always, but it's becoming a bore. Maybe life will change when our track opens." He shoves the thought of the Duke out of his mind. (NT) -- Noel, 19:19:04 05/15/01 Tue
  • ~She sighs and watches him.~I'm sorry, I didn't know...~She gets up and sits beside him, placing her hand on his leg, some sort of sympathy sweeping over her.~But you still want to know about Lane don't you?~She smiles, knowing that he still wants to know...but won't admit it.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 19:21:46 05/15/01 Tue
    • "It's none of my business, it's alright." He shudders at his touch, it feels so foreign to him, something felt different within him. Unsure of it. He reaches for his hip flask, and begins to unscrew the top. "What do you wish to do Jaradae?" (NT) -- Noel, 19:24:02 05/15/01 Tue
      • ~Feeling him shudder under her touch she removes her hand and gets up.~Nothing, I will leave you in your sorrows, and if you want to talk then come and find me.~She walks out of the room... -- Jaradae, 19:30:45 05/15/01 Tue
        • He stares after her disbelieving, not even sure of why she was leaving. He wrinkled his brow and began to rub it furiously as a headache pounded on. He stands up slowly and walks after her... "Jaradae... what is wrong?" He swallows quickly, the remains of the whiskey stinging his throat. "Do come back in..." (NT) -- Noel, 19:32:47 05/15/01 Tue
          • ~She hears him calling but stays where she is, wiping away the tears as they come, ashamed of herself for breaking down like this....She sits with her knees pressed against her chest, her head burried in the skirts of her dress not wanting him to see her like this.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 19:35:48 05/15/01 Tue
            • He drags open the door and looks down at her. Tilting his head, still struggling to become less detatched. "I'm sorry for whatever I did Jaradae..." He looks at her longingly. Wishing she were in his arms, she obviously did not feel this way. "Please, it's late, stay in the guest chambers tonight, it is a long way back and I don't want you becoming lost..." he watches her, leaning over he struggles to sit on the step along side her. He leans into her and wraps his cloak around her shoulders. (NT) -- Noel, 19:41:10 05/15/01 Tue
              • ~She looks up at him, her eyes a shade of red.~It's nothing that you did Noel...It is my fault this time.~She forces a sort of smile. Leaning against him when he sits beside her she nods in agreement with his suggestion. Almost as if by his touch the tears slow and then stop. Looking up into his dark eyes she sighs and passes a slim hand down the side of his face she moves slightly closer to him.~Hold me forever...~She whispers softly a slight smile on her face.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 16:59:00 05/16/01 Wed
                • He shys from her hand playfully, the welt only fading days before from their recent encounter. He laughs jovially, in a quite good-natured mood. "That I can do." He tightens his grip and breaths in the sweet scent of her. "As long as you promise to tell me what I do wrong. You know, men aren't good at these things." He runs his fingers through her hand and gazes at her beautiful face. (NT) -- Noel, 17:02:02 05/16/01 Wed
                  • ~She smiles, the tears gone from her face.~'Tis nothing you did, but twas I...I saw you when I was talking with Lane...~She sighs.~But the thing that set me off was when you shuttered...I care about you Noel...I really do, I just didn't know if you cared for me as I did you...~She looks up at him a small grin plays on her pale lips.~Come, lets go inside...It is getting cold.~She does not move until he does...her hand finding his almost instantly.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 17:09:02 05/16/01 Wed
                    • "The loss of a life, followed by the site of a loved one, who almost seemed to distant.... Well, it was to much to bare. I did not act on those instincts did I?" His hand grasps her, stroking the soft inner skin of her palm with his thumb. He stares into her eyes and leans in close for a kiss, but then pulls away at the last moment. Opening the grand door he looks around the corriders. "Where to? Should I make you a bed in the guest chambers?" (NT) -- Noel, 17:15:20 05/16/01 Wed
                      • Well, you were quite curt and rude...I will give you that...~After his almost kiss she smiles and leans up kissing him, her lips lingering on his for a few seconds longer.~I don't think I should be alone tonight...~She smiles and waits for him to make out what he will out of the comment.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 17:22:37 05/16/01 Wed
• "Lady Jaradae, I will ask you point blank, perhaps so I may not be slapped, nor given the cold shoulder, would you wish to stay in my room tonight? Or in the guest chambers?" He catches her trick but is not in the mood to put the relationship in jeopardy. He wonders if she had intended to confuse him. -- Noel, 17:28:00 05/16/01 Wed
  • ~She looks up and smiles sweetly.~Why so formal Noel?~She smiles and notices his slight confusion.~I would love to stay in your room tonight.~She looks up at him, her eyes still a little red but the signs that she was filled with sorrow only a few minutes ago seemed to have vanished.~ (NT) -- Jaradae, 17:42:38 05/16/01 Wed
    • "Right then dear, shall we?" He offers his arm and begins to escort her upstairs (I'll post there.) (NT) -- Noel, 17:45:50 05/16/01 Wed
