< 14Evie > ~From a short distance the sound of loud chatter, drinking and generally good times can be heard in the direction of the Badger and ferret. Inside the locals take their usual places upon the old rickety barstools and chairs, Evie brushes dust off of her long flowing tartan outerdress and her crisp white cotton underdress. She sits next to a tall handsome man who's long wild hair has temporarily been tamed and tied back, he sips < 14Evie > "Look ayden, try to not fecking swear ok? Molly is a lady afterall, and first impressions mean everything" She looks stern, on edge-she takes a large sip of cider and looks towards the door" < 14Evie > he sips his beer, it dribbling down his stubbley chin as he converses. They seem engrossed in conversation situated in the corner of the bar~ < 14Evie > "Look ayden, try to not fecking swear ok? Molly is a lady afterall, and first impressions mean everything" She looks stern, on edge-she takes a large sip of cider and looks towards the door < 14Evie > ((sorries!)) < 14Evie > 02The man frowns, in a deep yet soothing voice he comforts Evie "Do not worry love" * Molly gets out of the coach, pulling her hood up to protect her hair from the little Carleon drizzle. She looks to Morgan affectionately * @Morgan climbs out of the coach < 04Molly > I am almost suprised Mama didn't make me stay to have this _discussion_ she wishes for! *she wrinkles her nose* < 08@Morgan > it wouldn't have surprised me in the least * Molly moves towards the door, walking close beside him < 04Molly > I am glad she did not, it is nice to be alone with you a little while < 08@Morgan > its nice to not be scrutenized < 04Molly > ~they enter the busy pub, and Molly looks around a moment before spotting Evie. She unfastens the silver clasp of her cloak, slipping it off. Underneath, she wears her gold and brown Eisen style dress. She grins at Morgan, and says quietly < 04Molly > No-one to interupt our good-night... * @Morgan coughs briefly < 08@Morgan > quite < 14Evie > 01 * Molly smiles braodly < 04Molly > ((I see nothing there bex) * Evie looks at molly and morgan and produces a huge smile. She stands up, and quickly turns around and frowns at ayden to copy. She waits for molly and morgan to come closer, she steps into the candlelight, her necklace of pearls catching the light perfectly * Molly leads the way over to the table < 04Molly > Good Evening < 14Evie > Evie: Molly! Morgan! You are looking splendid! This is Ayden Murphy, he is a blacksmith in Carleon, a very successful one at that. Ayden, this is Lady Molly Forrester and.... *she pauses looking confused, not quite sure what to say* L- Master Morgan Hockridge * Molly looks at Ayden a moment, and curtsies < 14Evie > He is the master of arms at Lady torringtons estate *she starts tapping her hip nervously as she introduces* < 04Molly > I am pleased to meet you, Mr Murphey < 14Evie > Ayden: Pleasure to meet you Lady Forrester, Master Hockridge. *He speaks in a deep soft northern innish accent, with not a taint of avalonian in his words* * Molly smiles, looking to Morgan < 04Molly > Shall I get drinks, dear heart? * @Morgan inclines his head < 08@Morgan > Mr. Murphey < 14Evie > Ayden: Don't worry yourself love, i'll be getting the drinks- what will you be having M'lady, Master Hockridge? < 14Evie > Evie: It is wonderful to see you Morgan, you look better then when i departed, has life treated you well love? < 04Molly > White wine please Mr Murphey, thank you < 08@Morgan > ale for me... *he turns to Evie* life's not been so bad < 14Evie > *Ayden nods his head and goes to the bar to order drinks* * Molly blushes slightly * Evie smiles broadly, yet a look of worry is still etched upon her face < 04Molly > Is all well? < 14Evie > "Aye, couldn't be better love. Both mine and Ayden's business' are going extraordinarily well. It is a good life here. Is all as relaxed within your world?" * Molly laughs softly < 04Molly > My mother seems bent on having the most extravagant wedding ever known... so no * Evie giggles < 14Evie > "she only wants to do good by you, most mothers mean no harm by it" Her smile faulters ever so slightly * Molly smiles symapthetically < 04Molly > I know she means well, I just wonder that she wishes to be as extravagant as possible on the idea that money is no object *she frowns, looking to Morgan* < 14Evie > Evie: "ahh, well be firm, gentle but firm. She'll realise in time love" * Molly takes a seat at the table, smiling at the others < 04Molly > Ayden seems nice * Evie blushes slightly "Aye, i'm glad you think so- i value your opinion, and well i was worried" * Molly smiles < 04Molly > As long as he treats you well, and won't lead you to ruin, I am pleased < 14Evie > Evie: "i do not see that happening, but i am always wary, just incase" < 14Evie > *ayden strolls up to the group, looking slightly red in the face* "Erm, Master Hockridge, a word if you please? While the drinks are transfered from the bar to here? * @Morgan nods and walks with ayden * Molly watches carefully, though talks qietly with Evie < 14Evie > *Ayden talks in a deep low voice to Morgan as they walk towards the drinks* < 14Evie > Ayden: Master Hockridge, i am never any good at this conversing, it is a wonder that Evie liked any poems i sent. To sum up, i know that you have known Evie for a while, and as she has no father, as her last protector i ask you, May i ask for your consent in me asking for Eibhlinn's hand in marriage? * @Morgan looks surprised < 08@Morgan > _my_ consent? < 14Evie > *Ayden nods* Yes, she has always spoke of you in such high regards, your's and Lady Forrester's opinion, safety and wellbeing mean so much to her. So it is only natural that i ask for your consent. With no family of her own. You and Molly have become an unofficial family for her it seems * @Morgan nods < 08@Morgan > I see < 14Evie > *ayden waits quietly, looking at Morgan* I already have the ring. < 08@Morgan > then you have it... subject to the usual clauses, obviously < 14Evie > the usual clauses? < 08@Morgan > aye... the brother clauses, I like to call them < 14Evie > I am not familiar with these brother clauses you speak of. I of course will adhere to them, but could you be so kind as to inform me of them? < 08@Morgan > its quite simple... in the very simplest terms, you hurt her, I hurt you * Molly watches them from a distance < 14Evie > *ayden nods* it is understandable. and i agree- i would want you to hurt me if i hurt such a kind hearted woman. I would like to ask for evie's hand in marriage tonight. I want to wait as little time as possible before i can show her off as my own * @Morgan nods * Evie looks to the two men. "Hmm..... how suspicious" * Molly smiles sweetly < 04Molly > Is it? They seem to be getting on well < 14Evie > Evie: Yes.....but i can't think of what ayden wants to talk to Morgan about. He normally tells me everything * Molly shrugs < 04Molly > It is the way of men, I do not give it much thought < 14Evie > *Ayden smiles at Morgan* Thankyou. I suppose i should do it now then. < 08@Morgan > aye < 14Evie > *ayden walks back over with morgan to the ladies* * Molly 's eyes light up as she sees Morgan < 14Evie > Ayden: Eibhlinn Rose O'Treasigh. I love you more then words can ever describe, you have made me into the man i am today-and i can't imagine spending time without you. Now or in the future * Molly grins broadly, watching Evie's reaction < 14Evie > *Evie looks shocked and confused, with that Ayden drops to his one knee* Eibhlinn, would you do me the honour of becoming my wife? *he reveals a beautiful gold trinity ring, a Big dazzling ruby is set inbetween two slightly smaller, yet still large diamonds* * Molly looks rather shocked at the elaborateness and value of the ring < 14Evie > *Evie squeals with delight, quite loudly* Wha- Y..Y..YES! *she allows ayden to slip the ring on her finger and picks him up to embrace him* I love you Ayden Murphey * Molly smiles at Morgan, eyes intense < 14Evie > ~Loud cheers can be heard from all around the bar, the bartender shouts to Evie and Ayden and passes them an expensive bottle of red wine~ * Molly smiles at them both < 04Molly > Congratulations, ths is wonerful news! < 14Evie > *Evie cries with joy and lets go of Ayden, she sits back down trying to catch her breath* * Molly sits beside her, holding her hand < 14Evie > *Ayden talks to random locals of the pub, shaking many a mans hand* < 04Molly > I am so happy for you, Evie... I knew it had to be so < 14Evie > I....I...I didn't think he loved me as much as i loved him. I'm so happy. *she squeezes molly's hand hard* It seems we are both getting what we have always wanted * Molly blushes at this < 04Molly > I knew you were supposed to be someone's wife some day * Molly looks up at Morgan, and then sips her wine * Evie giggles < 14Evie > I suppose tonight shall be a very long and fun night of celebration! < 04Molly > I would imagine so, though I am afraid I promised Mama I would be back at a reasonable hour < 14Evie > It is fine dear friend! I think many friends shall be here to celebrate with myself and ayden! * Molly nods < 04Molly > Will you wish to wed soon? < 14Evie > oh yes! there is so much to arrange.... *she goes quiet for a moment* < 14Evie > Molly...? < 04Molly > yes? < 14Evie > will you do me the honor of being my maid of honour? < 04Molly > I would love to, but I can not say how soon I shall be back in Avalon... < 14Evie > i think it shall take a while to arrange things, but i hope you will be here in time * Molly smiles < 04Molly > As do I < 04Molly > ~the mood becomes celebratory, and after a little while, Molly leans over to whisper to Morgan < 14Evie > ((gotta go lovlies byeeeeeeeee xxxx)) < 04Molly > I said I'd be back in about an hour's time.... * Evie and ayden excuse themselves and talk to the many friends around the pub * Quits: Evie (cgiirc@82-37-28-186.cable.ubr04.wolv.blueyonder.co.uk ) (Quit: CGI:IRC ) * Molly moves slightly closer * @Morgan sips his ale * Molly watches him through lowered lashes < 04Molly > we could perhaps take a little drive in the coach, unless you would rather go back to the tavern? < 08@Morgan > that is entirely your choice blossom < 04Molly > do you have a preference, dear one? if we go back, we will be watched... * @Morgan shrugs < 08@Morgan > I'm quite happy staying out * Molly nods < 04Molly > A drive to the riverfront maybe? * @Morgan nods < 08@Morgan > why not * Molly finishes her wine, and slps on her cloak < 04Molly > ~waving to Evie, Molly leads them out to the coach and climbs up. Enclosed in the darkness, she laughs softly < 04Molly > I can not see a thing! < 08@Morgan > the perils of trying to journey at night I believe * @Morgan climbs into the coach
