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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

...Dear heavens above and hells below.

By everything that's divine and mythical.

Ruh roh.

The day...surely does start eventful in every way possible for the stern and oh-so-composed Magus.

Whyyy, oh WHY... (ノ_<。)

...............

.....................



Immediately upon Morgana feinting being wounded and 'oh woe is me~', Bernhard averts his gaze BACK at her, as if to say 'No, do not be! I did not mean to...' - and just as immediately he regrets-appreciates due to the tasteful revelation of more. Damn... Mentally he flinches away, but just as well he feels captivated, whether he wanted or not, regardless how much he did not want to acknowledge it. The flustered coyness and embarassment within him rises even further, that goes without saying...

Thankfully(!) Zephy intercepted and put a halt to things, even if it was in an unpleasant way aka via starting an argument and fight with her AGAIN. It being exhausting to deal with most of the time - at others, blatantly dangerous for both Bernhard AND Zephy themselves - was a stark understatement of the year, Bern feels like they'll never get used to being witness to and in between it. And frankly he fears getting used to it, because one misstep or interception at the wrong time might spell DOOM for their treasured artistic partnermon! No amount of the finest tea there can be could make this morning any less unpleasant, or so it feels for Bernhard in combination with still lingering exhaustion, being still magic-locked and therefor more vulnerable, and having the fateful delivery of a brewed up alchemistic creation on a cursed young girl.


Still he eventually speaks up, eventually having seen enough of it.


To Zephy:

She receives a frown, in addition to that apologetic look from previously - because frankly Bernhard's not too pleased with her and how she's behaving. "Oh you, Zephy, my treasured and destined partner..." *, suffering sigh, natural hand on forehead, while the other (the gauntlet'ed one) continues to pour cream into tea* "...We've TALKED about this. Numerous times, if you do happen to recall. You are...free and open to dislike and hate dear Morgana, this is okay and fine and I am none to blame you for it, but PLEASE do mind your language towards her, especially while I am present. *unimpressed staaaare* You are hurting someone I care about, which is not acceptable and will not be tolerated, as much as I value you, hold you dear and am ever grateful to be with you... I do not want something foul to happen to you, really not, not as long as I am around and able to prevent it. You are too important to me, you see?"
 
To Morgana:

Bernhard's gaze is drawn to her, but he refuses to directly look at her - too coy, too meek, too embarassed! In his mind, 'Don't look' and 'do look' are taking fast turns. "Morgana, my dearest..." *rests head on natural hand and arm, while the other (gauntlet'ed hand) started to stir the tea* "I do.... *cough* appreciate and VALUE your visit, but please save such...things for more..... private times and settings where it's just you and me. Please, not now and definitely not here, I'm here on business... *cough, lowers voice in an attempt to save Zephy what follows* "I... made you promise me something for my own peace of mind, when we... well...*sighhh*...'indulged a desire' after one of the most strenuous meetings of the full Scimitar Council in quiiiite a while has come to an end at last, if you do recall, my dear maiden of flowers and fae..." (read: agreed promise is basically 'what happens in bedroom [both Bern's AND Morgana's], stays in bedroom')


Enough, enough, ENOUGH; Bernhard blatantly hopes that his words towards both will do and put an END at the two's bickering. For now that is.

Onwards to more pleasant (and much less embarassing!) things - the receiving of the promised boon, how could Bernhard ever forget that?~ Hoo hum...~ His gut feeling was right. She wouldn't need to...deliver it personally though, just sending it to him would suffice in his books....

.....

Truly Amazing was an understandment (again), if Bernhard meekly recriprocating Morgana's heartfelt smile and looking deeply into her pupiless eye was any indication. "Zephy, dear... Please, be so kind and do me a favour, will you? Leave me and Morgana ALONE, for just shortly. I do wish to...express my utter gratitude towards her for a deal carried out fantastically and for a boon most appreciated and valued accepted and received. Please be so kind, won't you...?"

(Caution: Doing so may let things wander into nsfw-territory... Nothing too graphical or outright adult-themed, but still something I wouldn't want to state [and write, oh god!] openly for everyone to see. Via PM it is then, preferably?)

Despite your fears of your Fairy Girllfriend doing something unpleasant to your OTHER Partner, this has rarely come to pass.  Namely because A) Morgana also enjoys these spats in her own strange yet understandable way (Frustrated and bitter Zephy is funny to her, and its rare that anyone actually dare argues with her!), and B) Zephy is fully capable of making the Fae Lady regret any acts of malevolence or trickery. It'd cost your smol artist dearly in the process, no doubt about it, but Morgana would suffer for any further treachery or acts against the both of you. For instance, the last time Morgana actually smacked down your fluffy friendo Zephay gave as good as she got by dying their skin purple and making her stink like a Grimer for a WEEK. You also heard her make passing remarks about 'Sketching up a bottle of 'Morgana Be Gone!' in bitter indignation at them being THEM, and you think if she was just a bit more powerful should could pull something off....

Still, enough was enough, so it was time to break this up before the two started flinging plates and tea cups at each other again !

Zephy reacted to your scolding exactly as you expected her: by crossing her arms and turning away, a resounding 'HMPT!' , a Icy Wind trailing across your shoulders to get her own point across. She could handle herself fine, thank you very much! It's YOU that she is so worried about and so angry at Morgana for, and your continued relationship with HER shall continue to drive her up the paint splattered walls until such time as that whole mess of a situation is resolved. Which, considering how unrepentant the White Woods Witch and YOU are about that whole sordid affair....yeah. You dig your grave and lay in it, buddy Magi boy...

Morgana had a hand against her mouth as was tittering as you dressed down your Partner, but appears surprised when her time came for a scolding. She crossed her arms underneath her chest and let out a huff, but as you sweetly continued and reminded her of those oh so soft and tender moment you shared she closed her eyes and let out a small sigh.

"Fine, oh very well, my sweetest Summer Breeze. Simply wanted to surprise you, liven your day up! , after so wearying and vexing, soul sucking and taxing, the prior day was. Nearly had a my heart stop, when new of the Pancea making you nearly drop and a Curse most vile was a-top, oh me oh my!"

"Your welcome for that, by the way. Not that it helped in the end, ya tardy witch..."

"*Tone turns Dark* I said I was busy most dire in AST, you dear rat! *Tone is Sad* Faith and past History, you and I have, to care for him at his weakest, made my refrain Painful, regretful, but easy-ful...."

"*Huffs* Yeah, yeah, whatever...."

Huh...so THAT was why Morgana was here - Zephy told her about your situation from last Evening! That's a surprise, but you suppose the smol artist is willing to put aside her distaste for your other Partner if it could help you...

Things turned awkward for a moment, as tends to happen when all three of you are in the same room for any length of time, but Morgana's gift and you lighting up like a Volbeat found its girl brought the cheer back. Even the mussed Muse had a tiny smile on her face (though neither you or Morgana could see it). It went right away once you requested some alone time, with her making a gagging face or incredulity.

"Wha - HERE?! You two.... GAH! Fine, fine! I'll be upstairs with the lil girl while you two....canoodle in someone elses' house ! By the Fine Arts....!"

*Zoom!* Off Zephy goes, leaving you all alone with Morgana. 

She briefly looked surprised at this sort of initiative, but soon her a sly, sweet smile bloomed, an air of anticipation forming as you drew closer to show how you truly appreciated her ....

"Show me, by all means and ways, my dearest and truest...."

(.....And with that, the rest will either be done in PMs, or if Phantom wants it can be done in the GameThread as specified!)
