Forbidden Truce ~ Chapter Two, Trust to Ashes.

[Cornflower MM]

David heard Adlais call but did not follow Orvil. This was obviously not his business. Instead he entered the gatehouse to find Arya seated in a chair across from him.

"Hello, my dear," he said with a wink.   

"Just whom, may I ask, are calling 'My dear'? Not me, I should hope." Arya said, rather coolly, as she stood up, then immediately sat back down, rubbing her leg and cursing under her breath.
-------------------------------------------------------
"My, my! Don't you two know there's ladies about?" Bryony called up sarcastically. "Now, let me in, would you? I just want to talk, to better understand what, exactly, was going on yesterday." She called, tapping her footpaw.

Orvil, and Donavin looked at each other. Then disappeared behind the walltop, and crouched down. "Honestly, I think we should let her in." Orvil began.
"Hey! This is my castle! I'm not letting her in so she can attack!" Donavin snarled.
"Let me finish! We let her in, and maybe two of her men, and that's it."
"What about the rest?"
"They wait outside."
"Fine, but where do we talk to her? My office is...ur....."
"A dump."
"Something like that."
"Is there anywhere else private we could talk to her?"
"Um........I guess so."
"Where?"
"Come on, there's loads of empty rooms, we can find one."
"Fine."
"Deal?"
"Deal."
They both popped up above the walltop again, "You can come in, with two of your men, and that's it." Donavin shouted down to Lady Bryony.

He closed the gate house door "What should I call you then," He said gesturing in her general direction with The paw holding the wine bottle and drawing up a chair with his free paw.

[Cornflower MM]

"Don't call me anything at all." She suggested, then eyed the bottle wqith disgust. "Oh, how nice. You're drunk." She guessed.
-------------------------------------------------------
Bryony rolled her. "Alright, fine. You., and you. Come with me." She said, picking out two squirrels. They saluted, and she turned back. "Well, I've got two of my men. Open the gates."

[rachel25]

"Tell the rest of your men to back off first!" Donavin shouted.

[Cornflower MM]

"Do as he says." Bryony commanded, and they obediently backed up ten paces. "Happy now?" She called up.

[Faiyloe]

"No of course not." He said "Haven't touched the stuff yet. Brand new bottle, its a good year too," He got two glasses off a shelf and pored some wine into both of them. " I was thinking we could share,"

[Rusvul]

Voxx regarded the happenings with a thoughtful look. He rushed down the stairs; if anyone was to enter, they'd not take the prisoner without getting through him. He hoped that the talk would not become violent, but best to be prepared. Standing outside the door, he nocked three arrows to his longbow. He thought in passing that David was nowhere to be seen. He continued to stand guard outside the door.

[Cornflower MM]

"Oh, no. I haven't drank wine ever since.....But never mind that. Just get that bottle out of  my sight." She growled, wincing at some forgotten memory.

[Faiyloe]

"Fine, suit your self. Its a pity though," He said stowing the bottle in a cabinet and then downing his glass he stood and went to the door, "It is there if you change your mind," he said before leaving to find Voxx guarding the door. He Closed and locked the Gatehouse door behind him. "Good day to you," he said tipping an imaginary hat to Voxx.   

[Cornflower MM]

Arya rolled her eyes. The last she'd had wine (And had gotten drunk) it had involved some very nasty thinmgs, a few dead bodies, and right about then her leg had started troubling her. Not very happy memories, and she figured that the only reason the outcome had been what it had been was because she'd gotten drunk.

Jallek tree down his cutlass and helped the soldier, "It's too late," she said, "Givey leader the report..." Jallek nodded and scurried off carry the soldier's body for a proper burial.

[rachel25]

Donavin, and Orvil exchanged looks, then they both nodded, "Yeah, that's fine! Adlais, open the gate." Donavin yelled.
Adlais, ran down the steps, and opened the gate. Orvil, and Donavin were behind him, and stood to the side of the gate.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony marched in, then raised her eyebrow at Donavin's appearance. "How'd you get knocked on the head? Did one of your soldiers finally get a little sense?" She asked, only slightly teasing.

[rachel25]

Donavin was about to swear at her, but Orvil clamped a paw over his mouth. "Lady Bryony, we shall talk to you now. Please follow me." He let go of Donavin, and turned, and walked towards the castle.
