Phoenix Gardens: Silly Kerri

Mommikerri wrote:Concern flitted over her brow as she listened to the exchange between Franka and her maid. Knowing that Franka could easily take care of the situation, she sat back in her chair, placing one foot behind the other.

Looking at Zipsi and Wolfen, she giggled, trying to avert her eyes from Wolfen's legs. "Yes, how are the wedding plans coming along?"

Wolfen wrote:Smiling in rememberance of the bit of fun at the pub, even if it cost me some skin and plenty of hair.And then hearing Kerri asking,

"Yes, how are the wedding plans coming along?"

Oh, we really havent started making plans as to a wedding excpept that it wont be the traditional type of wedding. I think maybe somethign very untraditional would do.Looking over to Zipsi and seeing if she finds this acceptable.

"I'd been thinking it would be great deal of fun to elope," said Zipsi, dimpling devilishly, "it would be terribly romantic, racing to the border, being married out of hand." Giving an exaggerated sigh, she waited, hoping to get a good reaction.

Mommikerri wrote:Unclasping her hands, she feigned a shocked look. "Oh, really? An elopement? How exciting! Shall I see if Jacques is available in the next month? I'm sure he'd be more than happy to pamper the two of you after the ceremony."

Taking a sip of tea, she smiled again. "Of course, I would be happy to send you a few of my henchmen in case you are followed." Looking meaningfully at Wolfen. "After a very thorough interview, of course."

Wolfen wrote:Laughing at Kerri's words and a dismayed shiver runs down my spine at the thought of another Brutus working for her.
Um, that's ok really. I do have my own soldiers and guards. And none of them has yet tried to kiss me thankfully. Dont be to harsh on him tho. He just couldnt help himself around such a god granted masculine gift as I. As I overdramatically pose and flex my muscles, unable to help myself from breaking out in a great big belly laugh at myself from just the shear ridiculous thought of that comment and all.

"Gosh," said Zipsi, dancing eyes wide in mock admiration, laughing with him, "and so very modest too!" Privately she could well understand why Brutus had been so overwhelmed. She actually felt a bit sorry for poor Brutus - he'd really missed out.

"Next month though," frowning, Zipsi thought for a moment. "That might be too soon really, we need time to finish settling into our home in Lewes. May we borrow Jacques for an elopement in the month after? That could be a great deal of fun."

Mommikerri wrote:The red of the gown caught her eye and she motioned for the lady to come sit with them. Eyes sparkling as she listened to Wolfen, they suddenly widened when she heard Zipsi say the pair needed to settle in their home in Lewes before the elopement.

The shatter of the delicate china cup drew a servant to her and she looked at the two in horror as she digested the information. Shaking her head, she looked at them again figuring she must have misunderstood her cousin.

"Zipsi, did you say the two of you are living together without the benefit of matrimony?"

Wolfen wrote:Bowing to the lady in red and then bending down to help clean up the broken china. Then looking up as I here Kerri asking Zipsi if she heard her right.
Aye, you heard right, tho we havent had the chance to see our new home as of yet. We just bought a beach home in Lewes. Altho it may not be big enough for our people and guards Kerri. But she didnt want a large home either, but if thats what makes her happy, then so be it then.Smiles at Zipsi as the servant and I finish cleaning up the mess.

Anonymous wrote:Zipsi nodded in greeting to the woman in the red dress as she joined them. Glad that Kerri hadn't cut herself on the broken cup, she smiled sunnily at Wolf, nodding her agreement with his words. "After all, we've been travelling across the country together for the better part of three months now. It seemed a little silly to separate once we stopped travelling, simply because of the demands of propriety."

Looking a little reflective, Zipsi continued, "And a handfasting, whether we elope or otherwise, isn't necessarily quickly arranged. We can't exactly go down to the local church and ask the parish priest to help us organise things."

Inwardly Zipsi grinned, she couldn't help being amused that her cousin was simultaneously ready to help them elope and yet so shocked that she broke a teacup at the idea of their sharing a home together already.

Solcan wrote:Good morning Ladies, I'm Christopher Solcan, how are you doing today?, he said as he stepped out from behind a tree.

Franka wrote:franka arrived back in the garden just as christopher appeared from behind a tree. not knowing who to address first kerri with the shattered teacup on her lap or christopher.
franka decided to ignore the broken china and greet christopher. she would find out later what had distressed kerri so much.

christopher, i am so glad you could join us. have you meet wolfen, zipsi or kerri yet?

taking her seat at the table she poured herself some tea. though she felt like a glass of wine but it was too early in the day yet. sarge coming home broken hearted, alicantha and lucian arriving, all the other family members coming home had made things quite busy around here. franka took another sip and let her mind drift back to simpler days when she had first met dj. soon he would be home. what a joy that would be.

looking at christopher she said please come and visit with us? you must tell us how your trip was.

Solcan wrote:Smiling, he took a seat across from Franka.

Thank you Franka, its great to be finally home. The trip was good, although a bit long. Oh, and I think i scared the wits out of poor Thomas the stable boy when i arrived. I must say the castle looks so much better in the daylight. I arrived late last night and was quite tired so didn't get to much time to look around.

Taking a sip of tea he looked over to Wolfen and Zipsi.

Hi guys, its nice to see you again. I hope the travels are fairing well.

With that he turned to the lady with a broken teacup in her lap.

You must be the Lady Kerri that I have heard so much about. A pleasure to meet you finally.

As her personal servant Julia had said Kerri was in the garden. Walking up to the group gathered she addressed her aunt.

"Excuse me Aunt Kerri, may I have a few minutes of your time. There is a private matter that needs to be disscussed". Sara said, as she glanced over at Darien who was a short distance away.

Mommikerri wrote:"Thank you, Wolfen, for picking up the broken tea cup," looking mortified over having dropped the delicate porcelain. "Zipsi, I think this is a matter of your marriage would be best saved after I have gotten over my shock of the two of you living together." Smiling sweetly, she looked up at Franka and Christopher. Extending her hand, she murmured her pleasure at meeting him. "Please, have a seat, Christopher," moving her skirts aside for him to sit down next to her on the bench. "I want to hear all about you."

Looking up as she heard Sara Jane's voice, she couldn't help but smile. There was a special glow radiating from her niece's face. "Yes, Sara Jane? Do we need to meet elsewhere, darling?"

Sara_jane wrote:Sara bent down to be eye level with her aunt before replying.

"I have brought someone with me to visit and he wishes to speak to you about something."

Sara was one to hold people in great respect, espcially her family. She left no hints for her aunt though as to what the matter was. She just simply guestured to where he stood waiting
