[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Oh heavens, oh dear, by and all mages and Mythics, the very moment Aburpt Silence washed over the scene that lingering feeling of there having been SOMETHING they were missing intensifies and comes back to bite Bernhard in any way imaginable and beyond. He...was unable to put a finger on what exactly it has been - until, well, cold sweat and a mild surge of panic rushed over the otherwise oh-so-cold-and-stoic Scimitar, as they glanced around in direction the Mist came from. And that, all people who are present right now, means NOTHING good for sure, oh noes. Oh heavens, oh damn, oh f#ck, no no no NO, please DON'T...

In an instant act and trying to remain a cool head (which, by all means, was waaay easier said than done!) but with a pounding heart, Bernhard locked Zephy's Premier Ball shut, really not being up for any trouble induced by the artsy birdmouse now of all times. Not...like that ONE time happened previously. "I'm sorry... I'll explain and make up to you later, promise, Zephy -"but I have to do this just now to...avoid a fate most foul for you AND for me..." An instant negative or pouting reaction from Zephy is ignored and accepted, as this being by far the lesser evil.


...Oh noes. Indeed, that voice can only come from ONE PERSON of all people or 'people', and one that Bern is certainly NOT up to see now - frankly, he's not sure whether there ever IS a time he's up to see her, aside from Council Meetings where it's all business and politics. But one thing's for absolute certain, IF there is, he won't openly admit ever. And another thing that's for certain is that Bernhard cannot and will not risk her causing harm to people who aren't at fault or deserve it (Frankly though, he feels NO ONE deserved to have their mind messed up by her.)

Letting an impercible but long and suffering sigh, Bernhard KNEW what to do. If all, he prays to any Legend and mythic that THIS will do. Whether he may make a fool of himself or not or how the others may react is unimportant. He can explain.

...And so, Bern takes/floats a bold step forward, in direction of the Lady of Fae, slowly but firmly, gives her a respectful bow and greeting appropriate to a potential(?) suitor(!?), carefully takes one of her pearly hands in his and places a silky soft kiss on its back. (Kinda like in this gif) "Do forgive the fool that is me for having let you wait, m'lady. It is...due to circumstances outside of my control that have led to this, circumstances I am open to lay down to you with a cup of your pleasant tea." Bern shivers a little at the 'pleasant', "Let us make haste and leave, for I am done here", he throws a side glance at the others at the scene, "and was just on the way to the islands either way. I owe you apologies, my ever so whimsical Lady of Fae, and also hope that you accept one of these *presents* flowers in a whimsical fuchsia glow as an instant manner of making up."

 

Action: Try, by all means TRY to sugarcoat and butter her up to - by all what's holy and valuable - NOT have her lash out on him or the others (or worse); by playing along with the connection he has with her and lowkey offering amends to the Lady of Fae, asking to leave it be, leave these people alone and him to tagg along with her instead, all while being as polite and careful as Bernhard can only be. Also if needed and as a bonus, one of the previously mentioned Soubaly Flowers are gifted to her too.
