razielspike_22 says: why so nervous Molly*he asks softly* Crys says: *She blushes* Crys says: The dress... whilst in the milliner's before I left for Carleon, I thanked him for advsing you upon what I would like... razielspike_22 says: *he takes another step* such a thing would cause the blush i now see? Crys says: When he told me that he had no idea who you were... *she shakes her head, rememberin her embarassment* razielspike_22 says: *he sighs sadly* it is a pity you discovered this Crys says: Would you ever have told me? razielspike_22 says: i swore never to reveal who ordered the dress, so probably not Crys says: *she smiles sadly* I had always wondered that you had so litle interest in my reaction to it. razielspike_22 says: i am sorry Crys says: Do not let it trouble you. It was simply that you mentioned my dresses that it came to mind at all. It was a surprise to us all that day! razielspike_22 says: *he mutters to himself* not to one.....*out loud*so..... Crys says: *having listened carefully, she speaks* I wonder where it _did_ come from razielspike_22 says: *his face reddens again* i swore never  to tell Crys says: You swore never to tell your future bride... and I am not she razielspike_22 says: *the dilemma is visible on his face* razielspike_22 says: ((it was Morgan, right?)) Crys says: ((yup)) razielspike_22 says: ((thx)) Crys says: *She watches him, a gentle smile upon her lips* razielspike_22 says: i still have doubts of telling you..... Crys says: Then do no, if you do no wish to... I suppose it matters little, I was just curious as to who would send a common girl like me a beautiful dress... especially in a village where I am called a whore *her face darkens* razielspike_22 says: *his mouth hangs open in surpirse* they call you that? Crys says: ((he would remember this... it's from the whole illness that looked like pregnancy thing that her last betrothal was called off for)) razielspike_22 says: ((she never told him)) razielspike_22 says: ((first we've heard of it lol)) Crys says: ((I can hunt for the thread, but it was just afer he proposed, and she explained about her father kicking her out over it... its why she wen to carleon to see the dr) razielspike_22 says: ((she never explained the full reason i don't think)) Crys says: *She squares her shoulders* They did. I shall tolerate it no longer razielspike_22 says: which explains why you wish the letter back. one reason anyway.... razielspike_22 says: very well, but first you must swear to me, on our previous relationship, that you shall never tell them. Crys says: I have three further copies of it, I simply thought it would be appropriate for me to have it returned. razielspike_22 says: why three? Crys says: I promise, I shall not tell whomever it was Crys says: In truth, it was Morgan's idea to have four, and at the time I was in no fit state to ask Crys says:  *She goes very pale, her eyes fill with pain and tears* razielspike_22 says: .....Morgan. morgan ordered the dress as a gift razielspike_22 says: *his face is a firey red, and he turmns away from her, torn between love and honsety, feling he has betrayed both* Crys says: *Molly simply nods, tying to tear hrself from her memories* razielspike_22 says: *Jaeger turns back to her, approaching within touching distance razielspike_22 says: *he reaches out a hand, hesitantly, and touches her shoulder* Crys says: *She smiles at him, her eyes sad* razielspike_22 says: *he moves closer, and embraces her* Crys says: ((damn, now that has to be put on the forum)) razielspike_22 says: lol Crys says: *She lets him* razielspike_22 says: is anybody there to see? Crys says: ((true)) razielspike_22 says: ((bugger keep frogetting these)) razielspike_22 says: i'm sorry such memeories give you pain... Crys says: *She nods* I did what I needed, to prove my innocence razielspike_22 says: there should have been no need Crys says: No... my father should have trusted my word, and saved me that... *she pauses, as if searching for the word*... ordeal razielspike_22 says: he does not deserve a daughter such as you Crys says: I suppose it is easily done... I am told that a pretty young lass is always a cause of worry to her father razielspike_22 says: not to the point of paranoia, and a dughter should always be foremost in......*Jaeger looks at her face, and shakes hi head again, trying vainly to dispel his thoughts* his mind as trustworthy Crys says: *molly watches him watch her* I think he was unsure that I were able to control myself razielspike_22 says: and you have spent may years trying to convince him you could..... Crys says: I may still do so... it is possible he will perceive the ending of our betrothal as a misdemeanour of my moral values razielspike_22 says: then the man has no idea of life... *he seems about to say more* Crys says: *she looks to him, as if waiting for him to continue* razielspike_22 says: *his mouth closes with a snap as he decides his next thought is better left unsaid* Crys says: He is a simple man, and sees simpleness in others. He would not undrstand that ending the betrothal is to secure the future happiness of us both, not because I was proven unworthy Crys says: *she looks away, eyes on the deck* razielspike_22 says: *he seems lost in thought* razielspike_22 says: stop it...*he says half to himself* would it help if i were to accompany you to tell him? Crys says: *She smiles* It is a generous offrr, but I must speak with him as soon as I land in Tawstock. If he does not see reason, I shall make whatever trouble is necessary to damage his reputation as he has mine Crys says: ((this hard detrmination is something he wouldnt have seen much of)) razielspike_22 says: *he nods, , seemiong to linger too long on her bodice* i gather that would surprise him? if i can help in any way, remember you have a friend with the ear of the Justicar office...*he grins* Crys says: *She looks in to his eyes, hers blue and intense. She speaks quietly* Do I though, my lord? razielspike_22 says: *his grin fades, replaced by confusion* i would hope i am still a friend Crys says: I dearly hope so too... we were friends before we began our courtship, and I truly hope that in its wake we can still be such... *she looks at him, as if trying to read whether he still has feelings for her* razielspike_22 says: *any feelings he has are in plain view, and they are strong still, seen in his stance, his look and heard in his voice* razielspike_22 says: i..... Crys says: *She looks pained, and saddened* You what, my lord? razielspike_22 says: im wish to remain your friend and....*try as he might, he can't finish that sentence Crys says: *She takes his hand* We shall be friends, if you wish it razielspike_22 says: *he squeezes her hand* aye, i do Crys says: I am pleased to hear you say so. Though it is difficul now, one day, you shall look back and see that it is the right choice razielspike_22 says: aye i think i will that that say thankya Crys says: *she squeezes his hand* Good. I shall be leaving the Solemn Wind shortly, for I have a date with destiny *She smiles* razielspike_22 says: and may destiny treat you well Crys says: *She lets go and moves away* razielspike_22 says: *Jaeger resumes his vigil at the rail*
