Derim 17

Wolfbane säger:
He looks up. "Hello." He ignores the stench of alcohol. If he went out partying instead of going to the manor, it was his own choice.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Do you know where Wren is? She seems to have moved out of the other inn."
Shadowcaller säger:
(He might see that his clothes are all… woky thought.)
Elly säger:
( )
Shadowcaller säger:
(*out of place.)
Wolfbane säger:
"She's upstairs." He gives him a curious look, but doesn't say anything.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Oh…great." Hector sighs and sits down. "Wonderful."
Wolfbane säger:
"Is something the matter?" (Its probably not the best idea to lie to him, he was a Deciever after all)
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Yeah. After the mess at the manor, I spent last night in a tavern with my old merc friends. And I got really…really drunk."
Wolfbane säger:
"I can tell."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"And, um, one of the other mercs…Raea…she got really drunk as well…" Hector scratches his neck awkwardly. "I couldn't walk back to my inn, no way…so I ended up staying in her room."
Wolfbane säger:
"I take it went where I'm thinking it did?"
He doesn't sound surprised at all
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Yeah. Pretty much. But that's not the worst part."
Wolfbane säger:
"What is?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"The morning after, when I woke up in bed beside her…and realised how much she actually means to me."
Wolfbane säger:
"You do realize that if anyone asks what we talked about, I'll be unable to keep this a secret, right?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"I intend to tell Wren. I need to. No one else knows about it. Besides, I was thinking maybe voicing my concerns out loud to someone would help me think of a way to solve this mess." Hector gets up out of his chair, looking rather…uneasy. "It hasn't."
Wolfbane säger:
"You expected talking to a demon would help you? I'm sorry, but that doesn't sound very smart."
Elly säger:
( Self racism!)
Wolfbane säger:
(Bah, its a fair rep)
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Talking to anyone, Mael…I thought just talking to someone might help. Besides, you have changed. I'm still not sure, but you don't seem to be the selfish, violent creature you were before. And if it's an act, it's a damn good one." Hector heads to the bar and asks for Wren's room number.
And once he's got it, he heads upstairs and knocks on her door.
Elly säger:
She still asleep, and just turns over in the bed, putting the pillow ontop of her head. "Come back in the morning…" She mumbles.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"It is the morning, Wren, it's not too far from midday. Can I come in?"
Elly säger:
"Mmmpph.." She grumbles into the pillow, sitting up, "Sure…"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
Hector walks in and shuts the door behind him. He stands there awkwardly, looking ver uncomfortable.
Elly säger:
She climbs out of bed in shorts and a thin top, stumbling over to lean on him. "Ugh, Hector. Did you spend the whole night drinking?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
Hector moves out of the way. "Wren…no, not the whole night drinking. Not quite."
Elly säger:
She thumps against the wall, and looks sleepily at him, "Oh, right. The manor. How'd that go?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Alright…and that's not what I'm talking about. Come on, sit down."
Elly säger:
"But you just got me up…" She sighs, and manages a stumbling fall onto the bed, then rolls over. "You're staying standing until you get washed. I don't need the room smelling like that."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
…one wash later: "Can we talk now? Please?"
Elly säger:
"Fiiine. Going to come sit down?"
Shadowcaller säger:
(Hector was attacked by ninja cats while he was washing!)
Elly säger:
( Those damn ninjas! )
Shadowcaller säger:
(…okay, maybe not.)
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"I suppose." Hector sits down next to Wren, then just stares at the wall for a moment or two. "I…have a problem."
Elly säger:
She runs her hands over his shoulders, "Oh? What's going on?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
He leans away from her hands slightly, as if uncomfortable with her touching him. "I had far too much to drink last night, and in my drunken state I did something really stupid…then when I woke up I did something else that was also really stupid."
Elly säger:
"Hector…" She curls her arms around his shoulders anyway, "What did you end up doing? Hitting on the barmaid?"
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Not exactly. One of the other mercs, one I know quite well…she and I did a couple of silly things. She swatted me lightly, I kissed her to make her blush…then, as we had more to drink, they started becoming a bit more than that. She ended up sitting in my lap…I think."
Elly säger:
Wren stays quiet, her arms tightening.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"And, uh, then I said I wasn't in any state to walk back to my room at the other inn…so I ended up spending the night in hers but…erm…" He stares at the floor, "I don't know how it happened, I can't remember, but, ah…"
Elly säger:
She sighs, letting go and falling back on the bed. "Go on, Hector."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Well, er, we…y'know…"
Elly säger:
"Yes, Hector. I know."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Yeah…" He sighs and leans forward. "That's not all of it though."
Elly säger:
"Oh. Had someone else on the way back?" She rolls away from him, crying silently.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"N-no! Wren! I…in the morning, I sorta realised that…I…I have feelings for her…but I still love you and…"
Elly säger:
"Sure…" She's buried in the blankets by this point, face down in a pillow.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"No, Wren, I do! I'm really really sorry about what happened…" Hector sighs and gets up, "But I-now there's you and someone else and…it's awkward."
Elly säger:
"She's probably someone you've known longer than me… someone who's more like you…" Wren is curled up in a ball, dragging the blankets with her. "Just go, Hector."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"A-and? I've known her for longer than you, yes, but…" Hector leans against a wall as a tear trickles down his face as well, "I'm an idiot…a horrible, horrible person."
Elly säger:
"Forget it! You were happy enough to go back to her, now just GET OUT!" She throws a cup at him.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"…okay." Hector, um, leaves. As he opens the door he looks back at her sadly, then slowly closes the door and walks away.
Wolfbane säger:
(Wow, it's sad when a /demon/ has more inhibitions than Hector does…)
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
Aaand Hector goes back downstairs and crashes into a chair.
Shadowcaller säger:
(Well… that was sad… >.>)
Wolfbane säger:
Maelly just shakes his head, knowing what happened if he was back so soon.
Shadowcaller säger:
(But I didn't excpect anything less.)
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"What?" Hector spits at the demon, "What the hell was I supposed to do? I couldn't sugar-coat it, that'd only make it worse if she did find out!"
Elly säger:
( I guess there's a broken mug in the room. >.> )
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
(Yup.)
Wolfbane säger:
"I never said otherwise. Its simply a sad situation, that is all I meant."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"I know! She's up there, crying right now…and it's all my fault! I never should've stayed up that long with them…"
Wolfbane säger:
"Maybe not, but you did. You can't change that now. What I recommend is for you to maybe go to the other inn for a while so you both can calm down and so you can straighten yourself out before seeing her again."
He's speaking in a friendly tone by the way.
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Yeah, but…Raea…I can't deny that she's important to me as well! I can't leave it too long before talking to Wren again…I need to find a way out of this mess…"
Hector smiles at Mael, though it kind of looks pathetic. "Could…could you talk to her? Maybe try and just…help her? I…she's probably a mess right now."
Wolfbane säger:
"I'll try, but I don't know how much I can help."
General "Creme Eggs!" Shrimp säger:
"Thankyou, Mael. I'll be back at the other inn." And with a sigh, he gets up, and heads off for the other inn.
