Travel Where The Road Ends and Seek Beyond It

Maeryn Archer settled onto the seat carefully with his help; giggling softly as she was hoisted. Ever the lady, she smoothed out her skirt and tucked her boots into the small stirrups there to keep hold of her. When he flipped to his own seat, she smiled yet again. “One moment.” Reaching into a bag, she tucked her glasses away in favor of goggles and adjusted them into place. Both hands hesitated at his sides but gripped to the cloth there.

Chadrick Tamisier looked back behind him. For a moment he thought to ask her if she was ready, but where was the adventure in that. She held the cloth at his sides so he gently whipped the reins and Nimbus started off at a run before launching into the air. "'old on tight lass!" Maeryn Archer squealed a bit as they took to the sky and she gripped tighter instantly. But she wasn’t scared. Instead, she looked around him and then started to lean back a little. He would feel her arms reach full length as she tilted her head and let the wind slip over her form; taking it all in.

Autumnal Gemini

books-n-quotes

The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said. The chances, the changes are all yours to make. The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (via books-n-quotes)

Distractions

Maeryn Archer blinked and flicked her ears up a little more. “What a wonderful way to end such an interesting career! Comfort and hospitality.” She looked to the bottle and gave a nod. “Please.” She considered it further. “What are your goals, Mr. Tamisier? Where do you see yourself when the time comes to settle into comfort?”

Chadrick Tamisier moved to pour the wine into Maeryn's glass and nearly poured some on the table at her question. "M-me?" He seemed dumbstruck for a moment before he shook his head and finished pouring her drink. Sitting back down he pulled at his vest, asjusting it. "'ells lass... Ah've ne'er been asked tha' before... Ah di'nay think Ah've e'en considered tha' before." He seemed almost at a loss. "Ah cannay imagine a life where tha adventure stopped..."

Maeryn Archer watched his stumble with the pouring and had to lift her hand to her lips. Soft fingertips rested over them as she hid her smile and tucked it away shortly after. “I apologize if it was forward of me. I agree that, from what little time we have spent in one another’s company, you don’t seem the type to seek rest from it. It is something I admire about you, Mr.Tamisier. You enjoy what you are doing and so very few can say such.”

Chadrick Tamisier chuckled some at his own bumble and decided to hide the slight reddening of skin behind taking a few bites of his food. A napkin came up to his lips after and he followed it with a sip of the wine. "Ah mean... eventually Ah suppose if Ah survive t' an old age... Ah'd 'ave nay choice but t' retire." A grin appeared as the glass was set back down. "Perhaps Ah'd write. Ah'm nay sure tha Sun would approve, but if Ah changed tha stories up a bit, Ah might nay get in too much trouble."

Maeryn Archer was halfway up with her glass when it came to a dead stop in her hold. Eyes the shade of a forest caught in a summer sun stared back at him with bewilderment and wonder. “You…write....Mr.Tamisier?”

Chadrick Tamisier took another sip of his wine, pale blue eyes looking up from the drink at the change in her tone. "Well, nothin' so fancy as stories o' me adventures yet lass. At tha moment it's small things... like...songs, poems, an' lots an' lots o' reports fer tha Company."

Maeryn Archer forgot that she meant to take a drink and simply set the glass back down the table with the quietest of notes. Her full attention was locked upon him then with no end in sight that it would be swayed anytime soon; even by the delicious meal she had yet to touch. “Would…would it be too brazen to request to hear them sometime? I play the piano and would be happy to accompany you on it if you so wished.”

Chadrick Tamisier chuckled softly, obviously amused at something. "Ye play?" His expression seemed to lighten immensely. "Ah' 'ave a meeting room in tha Goblet ye see... An' one o' tha few items Ah made sure was added was a harpsichord. Ah'm better with stringed instruments and a pan-flute truth be told. So, Ah'd love t' 'ear ye play or t' play alongside ye."

Maeryn Archer flicked both ears up to full attention and almost shook with excitement at the idea of it. Both boots tapped to the floorboards as she had contained most of her joy but had to release it in some way. “Please…-please- Mr. Tamisier.” Both hands raised up to cup upon themselves at her chest as she smiled wide with the motion. “Music is such a lovely artform and I would be -most- pleased to both watch you and play alongside.”

Chadrick Tamisier sets down his fork and beams at the miqo'te. "T'would be me pleasure lass. Ah agree. Music is our purest means o' communicatin'. Tha right song can bring tears t' tha eyes o' the 'ardest pirate or stir tha 'eart of the weakest man t' find 'is courage an' give 'is life in war." He flushed slightly at his words. "It can e'en 'elp people find love. It's a very powerful expression."

Come What May

Vermund Archer seemed to give a nod while he took one more sip from the cup. Rather than placing it back on the table, the saucer and cup were pressed to his lap instead. There his thumb brushed in an idle pattern back and forth along the handle. “Given the nature of your work, and the obvious danger inherent therein…and as you are no doubt aware of certain matters, I would ask. What guarantee can you offer as to the safety of this venture? And pray, do not seek to allay my curiosity with every promise beneath the Twelve. I wish an honest answer.” Chadrick Tamisier looked as though he regretted the words he knew he was going to speak even before they left his mouth. “Truth is, Ah cannay make assurances as t’tha satey o’tha venture. Ah can tell ye tha’ Ah’ll pick one tha’ I believe t’carry less danger. Tha’ Ah wholeheartiedly believe Ah could ‘andle easily before Ah e’er thought t’ involve miss Archer. I can tell ye that any artifact Ah find, my own life, will be placed behind tha safety o’ yer sister.” He mimicked Vermund’s motions, sitting up some and placing the saucer in his lap safely. “Ah will’nay make a promise Ah cannay keep. Ah’ll fight t’ me last t’ keep ‘er safe, an’ Ah would be ne’er purposefully expose ‘er t’ danger…” { @peacekeeper-xiv (Chadrick) // @santhoril (Vermund) }

A Proposal

Chadrick Tamisier reached into his vest and pulled out a folded document and an envelope. “Ah said Ah ‘ad been fairly busy. Well, truth o’ it is… Ah tracked down me lead in Kugane and followed up with me supervisor about our venture. Ah’ve dealt with all o’ tha paperwork on me own end an’s this 'ere is tha official mission proposal. Assumin’ ye okay tha details… ye are mission approved.” He slid the paper and envelope across the table to her. “Tha sealed one is fer Vermund.”

Maeryn Archer watched him removed the parchment from his person and slide it across the table to her. Delicate hands used the cloth in her lap to free her hands of anything that may mar the surface before she reached out and took it. Far too excited, she was smiling as bright as the sun when she quickly sought to unfold it and start scanning the details. “Approved?” Her tone hit a lilt and echoed out the adventuring spirit in her that was now singing for all to hear. “I can’t believe this.” Ears went flat against auburn hair, boots tapped to the wood and her voice slipped out a quieted squeal of excitement.

Starlight...star bright.

Dear Book, A very Merry Starlight to you! I know it has been quite the cycle for us, so I am pleased to tell you that it is ending. Soon you shall be resting peacefully beside the other books, just like you, to hold onto these adventures and tales for all time. But I am getting ahead of myself. Cyrus offered to take me on a date during his day off. We haven’t had time to slow down since this all began, and I was almost relieved that he was suggesting a simple night out together. All of this started with such chaos that I feel as though it were a whirlwind that scooped me up instead of his arms. But I digress. We were supposed to go to a restaurant but unfortunately it was closed. Likely due to the holiday, I imagine. Honestly, it was for the best. We instead went to the beach for a picnic on the sands and I wouldn’t want anything else. They had decorated for Starlight so there were a few trees, twinkling lights, bells, it was all so beautiful. The snow was gently tumbling from the sky but didn’t stick to us or the grounds, so it made for an almost perfect scene. We spoke for a while. He mentioned that he would like to speak with the Eldest and perhaps clear the air or seek to get permission to travel with me. I told him of my concerns and the anger to which he will be given. He understood but…it is going to be hard to sit in that conversation. That is assuming Vermund allows me to be there. It is my fault, really. I should have been smarter when we first met. I shouldn’t have let him so close without going through the proper motions and now he is going to be subjected to the anger that I helped to generate. He is so kind with me and yet I understand my family’s rage over it. We shall see what comes of that meeting. For now, dear book, just know that I spent a lovely moment on a beach with him. Surrounded by the joy of Starlight.
