LandofNid: Myself due farest most well...Shallest we go sit over yonder ::points with hand:: below ye olde weeping willow? EJM ankh: yes, let's ::gathers her skirt above the dewey grass with one hand and extends the other:: LandofNid: ::takes her hand and leads her over to the ye olde weeping willow.' :: LandofNid: ::helps her to sit down in the dewey grass:: EJM ankh: ::looks up to him:: thank ye kindly LandofNid: ::and then sits very gentlemen like on the ground:: LandofNid: The honor is mine. LandofNid: ::bows:: LandofNid: Tis' a bit windy today EJM ankh: yes, t'is, but mayhaps the wind brings favorable changes LandofNid: Perhaps... those clouds are not hiding rain under their fluffy exterior LandofNid: it would be a pity to ruin a day such as this EJM ankh: quite, days like this are destined for memories, think you not? LandofNid: Yes but of course ::smiles:: So my dear Elizabeth how fare thee on this day in your life? LandofNid: ::rests face on his hand and smiles while listening intently:: EJM ankh: i feel attimes that i do no more than provide ornamentations and conflict . . but i shall not burden you with my petty troubles. it has been quite some time since youve told me of your own adventures . . . ::smiles sweetly:: LandofNid: You are most kind Lady Elizabeth to not unload your burdens on me. LandofNid: You see as on of know I am in a great turmoil EJM ankh: ::nods and leans her head to one side:: LandofNid: You see my dear...at my place of establishment one lord has quit and another has moved to north Carolina LandofNid: so i am forced to pick up the remaining time at their respective watch LandofNid: This coupled with my studies and apprenticeship are wearing me thin. LandofNid: I am most looking forward to the hiring of a new apprentice and the end of my studies for the warm season. EJM ankh: my, such long hours are enough to try any noble soul, dear Nicholas. LandofNid: how are you faring at the end of your journey? EJM ankh: not so pretty, mind you. ((oh, if my mom comes down i have to sign off FAST)) LandofNid: Aye... tis' true... tis' true... but when your country or the one who pays you gold needs you to cover the watch .. you must do what you must. LandofNid: tis understanable... EJM ankh: i have a plethora of exams to pass before i can even ponder the warm season. most of which will be passed in the halls, at one of two apprenticeships. LandofNid: your mother does not approve of us meeting here under this olde willow tree next to this brook? LandofNid: ahh...I see... LandofNid: Does this mean you must be riding off now? EJM ankh: aye, she does not. not so broadly at least . . . ::listens for footsteps:: nay, the danger and suspicion has passed for now. i shall remain a while LandofNid: Very good... If i hear her approaching we should both be most swift in our goodbyes. EJM ankh: ::sighs and hangs her pretty head, wisps of golden brown hair fall over her eyes:: i simply do not feel at my peak these days . . . i pray that it will pass and my high spirits return. until then, i will do my best to provide thee with good company this eve. LandofNid: tis' understandable as the sun is falling low in the sky. LandofNid: what apprenticeship do you have? LandofNid: as of this late in the year? LandofNid: I do not hope you find it too forward of me to inquire EJM ankh: thus as a lowly serving wench and thus ::hushes:: as an apprentice to an alchemist and scientist. t'is unseemly for a lady, be sure. but t'is my passion! LandofNid: Tis' my passion too...to be toiling about in the rocks of God's creation EJM ankh: that is yet another concern to me . . . my place of study for autumn next has not these courses of rocks and geodes. LandofNid: Perhaps you will take some time aside for yourself to ponder this decision? LandofNid: in the coming future EJM ankh: i shant, i have been offered an honorable high place at this institution and i ought not to pass it up. though i shall be conniving as the weasel to study what i please, i will. LandofNid: That is most resourceful of you me lady. EJM ankh: ::smiles and blushes:: though t'is unseemly for a lady to be so resourceful. unfits her for marriage LandofNid: Perhaps...::smiles and glances at the sun::..perhaps not... LandofNid: I fear the sun is low in the sky ... EJM ankh: ::notes the lengthening shadows beneath the willow:: ...true... LandofNid: I must return to my castle before I discovered missing... EJM ankh: aye, and i as well. until the morrow . . . ? LandofNid: We must get together again...yes...::smiles:: until the morrow... LandofNid: ::stands up, takes her by the hands and helps her to her feet:: EJM ankh: ::blushes:: thank ye ::softly:: LandofNid: The pleasure is all mine... until we meet again? ::raises eyebrows:: EJM ankh: ::smiles sweetly:: aye. until then, take ye care and good wishes LandofNid: ::kisses her lightly on her right hand:: LandofNid: Good day then... EJM ankh: good day . . . LandofNid: ::climbs on his horse and gallops down the road leading to the forest:: EJM ankh: ::calls out:: hickle! LandofNid: ::stops and turns his horse with one hand and waves with the other and crys out "Hickle!":: LandofNid: ::Then he turns and disappears over the hill and into the forest::
