Mesdames et Messieurs, Voilร , C'est Vous
Bievenue
You're wrapped in a soothing, all-encompassing darkness.
Well, perhaps not perfectly all-encompassing -- you can see some slivers of light here and there, just enough to realize that your current space is literally wrapped in something, and that you are a highly customized burrito at the mercy of an entirely too fluffy bed and set of blankets. Moreover: you are definitely not alone.
Depending upon the contents of your bed (two of you, waking up dressed exactly in what you wore last you remember back where each of you came from, in the exact same state as those last moments no matter how illogical or disjointed), it may not be comfortable or feasible to stay cocooned up for much longer. There's a low, muted GONG, GONGG coming from not far away, your bed creaks like a beleaguered ship in an unannounced storm, and it is joined by even more noises of movement beyond the bed canopy as you try to take stock of where you are.
Eventually, you either fall out of bed or drag yourself into this world: your new and strangely crowded personal rooms, the clock insistently sounding out the hour, and the halls and heraldry of the venerable Chรขteau Ambregris -- a lavishly decorated and fully furnished version of a more-or-less authentic French castle (assuming you know what France or a castle are).
Left to your own devices for the moment, you may find it helpful to explore the castle for your own purposes, check out the suspicious statues and personalized plaques in the Promenade of Reflexion, or perhaps to try to get to the bottom of the mysterious and frankly alarming amount of bread piled up in front of the place settings in the Banquet Hall. (Were you thinking of escaping? Any attempts to leave the property will be met with no forward progress at all, treadmill style). There's just about every kind of loaf, roll, boule, baguette, croissant or even animal-shaped bread you can think of stacked in baskets. There's absolutely nothing else save for plain bread, but at least you won't starve.
[OOC: Welcome to Chรขteau Ambregris, a perfectly normal castle receiving perfectly normal guests. Feel free to ask any questions in discord! The NPC Meet & Greet will be later today, March 8 at 6 PM EST/3 PM PST.]

But he has learned his lesson. He listens. Actually listens.
It's true, Cain never had the full picture. He didn't get up close and personal with the dragon like Akira and Rutile and Mithra did. He just knew this was an enemy he couldn't take on his
There's a pause. A friend to Akira's can't be bad a bad person. If Hwylryn went so far as to try and avoid harming any of the sage's wizards, then he feels like that's worth something.
After a breath, he exhales. The tension is not totally gone, but at least the hostility dissipates. Cain stands back, at ease, a more sympathetic glimmer in the gold of his eye. ]
...You're right. I didn't know the particulars of your circumstances.
[ He holds out his hand. ]
I'm sorry. I was quick to judge.
no subject
Now, that seems to surprise Hwylryn more than the bump earlier, and while he welcomes the change of pace relative to the hostility, he seems quite visibly confused. )
... Really?
( He regards Cain, then his hand, with intrigue.
:thinking: )
Where were you from, again?
no subject
I'm a Central wizard.
no subject
Hwylryn smiles, taking up Cain's hand (Cain can guide the shake, he's chillin). Central has its cads and scoundrels, sure, but they're also very much like this, too. )
And I'm of the West, though I didn't always live there.
( Doesn't elaborate on that last bit, )
Anyway, I'm happy to get along with a friend of Akira. Maybe we can even be friends, ourselves.
( He's fine whether or not Cain is amenable to the idea - but consider this an olive branch in return. )
I normally just wile away my time swimming and relaxing, so you're always welcome to join me, like I said.
no subject
Sure. I think I'd rather get to know you a little better and trust you first before we can be friends. [ Hwylryn's advantage is that he didn't ruin Cain's life, and Cain didn't know him very well to begin with. He's still wary, but he's not hateful.
And it's not a no. ]
Right. Do you know where the pool is?
no subject
I passed by it a little earlier. Want to walk with me?
( It might not be the most direct path there, but they'll get there. )
no subject
[ He'll start walking in the direction back to the mansion, slow at first, waiting for Hwylryn to catch up. ]
A swim doesn't sound too bad right now, actually.
no subject
Oh? Do you swim often? ( mashing the roll button to get ssr river cain ) You're pretty tough, you know! Or maybe I'm just fragile? You felt pretty firm when you got me earlier.
( it was actually cains dense massive titties that smacked him back earlier so really hwy should count himself blessed )
no subject
[ River SSR Cain appears just for Hwylryn!
He glances at him, taking stock of his twink ass (not literal, he's not looking at his butt). ]
I like keeping in shape. I've gotta be strong to wield a sword, right? I could help beefen you up, if you wanted.
[ Come run laps! ]
no subject
Beefen... he laughs lightly, like the gentle rushing of a stream. )
I don't know if I have the commitment. ( He's willful and he knows it... ) Do you intend to keep up with it here? I could watch, if only to cheer you on.
( owen eat your heart out-- )
no subject
Cain grins, too. Still too guarded to laugh, but he'll get there. ]
I appreciate the honesty.
[ He pushes the door to the mansion open for both of them. ]
And yeah. A surprise free vacation doesn't mean I can slack. [ Especially without his sword! ] But you're welcome to watch. I'd never say no to encouragement!
