Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raathemay stood up: "You mean down, if you go up you'll end up at the sealed door of the library, but I'll take you since my room is in the same hall." Roothemay took the spiral staircase at the corner and at the bottom was a massive living room with a center fireplace. Picking up her cane from the bottom of the stairs she used it from there down a hall off the living room. She stopped at a door; "Well when i go into town tomorrow for my massage, I'll stop by and visit, and I need to talk to Toole anyways." Raathemay opened the door to her room and pointed at the end of the hall. "Tolly is through the end door, knock first in case he's sleeping again."

Tolly set the picture he was looking at face down on the bed; "Smells like roast pork and kraut, and all I have is time Kaos. What bring you all the way out here for, and what happened to Raathemay? Don't tell me you advised her to not be up and about, i was just getting to the good part too." Tolly sighed; "Guess she has time to hear stories like those, so what's on your mind Kaos, besides my first daughter?"

Tolly gave hearty chuckle; "Kaos, i may read a lot of books, but its a far cry from reading someone's mind. I observe, and the way Sorrow was acting towards you during the breakfast at Ive's Inn. I drew many conclusions, but set nothing in stone pending further observations." Tolly gritted teeth setting up and resting his back against the headboard. "You would think between two healers I would be up and dancing in a week." Tolly took the tray and set it on his lap. "So what about Yuma brought you to me, because my daughter is very eccentric at times, so its hard telling what she's done since I'm out of the loop."

Tolly set his fork down and finished swallowing before asking the question; "Can you assure me that with your marriage she would never be hurt in any possible way?" Tolly focused on Kaos's eyes while waiting on the answer.

Tolly smiled; "If it was only because you got her pregnant I would say no, since you know the hardships that are to come, and are working to put plans together in order to prevent such a large burden I give you my permission." Tolly's smile faded; "When you start making plans, visit me again, I have something for Yuma to consider, and something she needs to hear." Tolly's smile came back; "I feel slightly better now, Isabella won't need to deal with her guards getting beat up for hitting on Yuma anymore, and there surely not going to do it once word gets out your her intended. They're starting to write books about you again with all the involvement you've had in major events."

Tolly took his hand in a firm grip; "Well, you do know she has a house of her own, and for the life of me don't understand why she is staying at Mary's. I guess if I was not stuck in bed i would have the answer. Well take care kaos, and I'll be up and around one of these days."

Tolly shrugged and drank the whole think in one shot. "Well what kind of dream happy dream?" Tolly's eyes got heavy, and he never heard the answer as he settled back for a nice nap.

Toole set the two rings in the box. The sweat dripped off his face onto the table top. The tips of his fingers brushed the purple velvet, caressing the fold that held the rings, and with emotionless eyes Toole closed the top of the box. He turned and picking out of the fire the makers stamp that all his weapons bore he burned it into the case. Toole set it in the tin of water, the hiss made his eyes wander to the dagger still locked into etching vise, the large wooden hammer and the needle point chisels right where he set them down.

He closed up the air feed vents for the forging fire, and taking several buckets of water put the fire out for sure. lighting a candle and turning off the lights she sat down at the table and adjusting the lens to magnify his work he picked up a chisel. Despite his arm being sore from pounding on metal he set to work with short taps.

Akira did her best to help Jezabelle clean, and when the kitchen was back to looking like a kitchen plus being spotless Jezabelle made some tea. Jezabelle looked at the pantry door; "Toole has been working on the chair for a long time, you think he would be upset if we and checked on him?" Jezabelle directed her question to Ian?"
