Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tool sat at the table; "Before the window was put in I used to watch it from the roof." Toole set his fork down; "The eggs are great, you should try some before they get too cold." Toole loaded another pile of them on top of a massive 18 inch waffle. A lonely stack of pancakes sat unattended the pad of butter melting away.

toole was decimating his waffle, and when it was clear he lifted his napkin to wipe his face. "Filling, i'll have to tell Lisa not to make so much tomorrow." Toole stood up filling his tea cup again and offering his hand to Ailes. "One more cup at the window before we go?"

Toole finished his cup of tea and like clockwork Jezabelle knocked softly and entered. She bowed softly to Ailes and began to clear the table back onto the tray. When she wiped the table down and set the tray next to the door she came back and taking out the pad and pager she drew a mark.

Toole nodded; "Her name is Ailes, and she is to be treated the same as myself." Jezabelle nodded and she flipped a page and wrote a bit holding it at Ailes. "My name is Jezabelle, i work as a servant for Toole Bebus, because he is very kind to take me back after I went to work for his aunt while he was gone. I cannot speak, and if you've any requests beyond my standard chores please feel free to stop me and ask."

-------------------------

Sorrow stormed into Tolly's study and rattled the door on its hinges with the slam. "You thought I was angry before, i feel murderous, you knew she wouldn't let me gather them much less get the book for you."

Tolly didn't look up; "That was the cover for you to see what was going on, i didn't think you would go right to the source so quickly, because i figured the tavern would be the first place you would go." Sorrow lost some heat, but she was still angry toned; "I was going to but there was hardly anyone in there, and then some giant winged person goes running out. I figured something was up so I tailed him."

Tolly stopped writing and looked up at Sorrow; "So what was he in a hurry for?" Sorrow shrugged her shoulders; "He picked up a person who was glowing, there was a crowd around the person, but no one seemed to be brave enough to go near her." Tolly rose and moving over to a shelf, and pulled out a book opening it. "Anything else...?" Sorrow growled; "What do you want, i told you everything i know, usualy you know all about crowds that form up in deserts."

Tolly flipped a few pages and walked over standing beside Sorrow, the old page was faded but the illistration was not far off from what she kinda saw. Tolly closed the book carefully and set it atop a stack.

Sorrow didn't seem to be getting anywhere provoking Tolly into an argument. Her anger faded out to curioisty; "So what does this person have to do with the Acorns you need?" Tolly smiled; "Everything, they require allot of sun to mature, and i need to speak with Queen Elenath now." Sorrow smiled finding her edge now; "Well its a good thing i ran into her, she invited you to dinner in order to get the book, so i told her you would be coming."

Tolly glared at Sorrow; "I would need to leave this evening in order to make it there just af ew hours before like you did." "Not my problem, i figured the book was important, and don't cry about it i've been flying for hours and my back is sore as hell. Sorrow was satisfied with the annoyance she caused and turned to leave, but she halted at the doors. "You might want to take that brat with you, because I'm not babysitting her while you're gone."

Tolly cursed after the doors shut, taking the stack of books he placed them in a travel sack along with a change of robes, and tracking down Isabella he broke the news to her and she stopped what she was doing to go get ready for when Tolly returned from Toole's.

-------------------------

Jezabelle nodded and putting her pad and pencil away she went back and took the tray leaving through the doors. Toole walked to the door; "We have plenty of time, the only bad part about this house is the bathing area is downstairs. So we need to find you a change of clothes, some soap, and a towel."

Toole stepped away from the door and opening a door and latching ahold of a bar he pulled out the large rack of clothing he had accumlated. Looking at Ailes he walked back the line a bit and lifting a section of hanging bar out he moved it over to a another rack near the door where he set in place. "Not so much in vibrant colors, but they are complete sets, and right about your size. We'll go shopping after we finish with my father, and you canpick out some things that you would feel more comfortable in."

Toole stepped back from the rack and left her to choose as he searched up a towel like cloth that was clean. 'Sasurei Sasou Lamente Arcadia." A sword issued forthe from his station ring on his left hand. He cut the large piece of cloth down to a more managable beach towel size.

'lamente pa indo;" the sword returned to being the ring on his finger. Toole picked the stray threads out of the cut edges.

Toole fogot to mention on how to adjust the overall pool temperature, and he remembered his last setting and freaked that she might get cooked alive. He tore the door open to the bath and rushed right in. "Ailes, i forgot to tell you...how.......water...............hot" Toole human face turned red, and he spun on his heels o face the door. 'I'm soooo sorry, i should have knocked, but i didn't want you to get burned because i take my bath water hotter then most."

Even facing away the image seemed to have burned itself onto his mind. Her clothing about her feet and her just about to step in with her hand on the rail. going in.

Toole looked over from the steps where he was sittiing, and he shook his head no. "You look fine, just leave your old clothes just inside the door and Jezabelle will wash them for you." Toole stood up; "I'm sorry for bargin in like that, i was genuinely worried that the temperature of the water was still set high. I'm very sorry for embarrassing you in such a fashion."

Toole shrugged; "I dunno, but if he is rude about it don't be afraid to tell him so."

"Tell me what....?" Tolly came around to look up the stairs.

Toole came over and took Ailes by the hand. "C'mon, no need to be self conscious now, besides you act as if your the first person to ever do it."

Toole pulled her gently along and held onto her hand as he descended the steps. Tolly moved out of the way and into the parlor room, and Toole moved over to the antique furniture where he sat down after allowing Ailes to sit first.

"I will be heading with Isabella to Rodasia and then to Enthelda, i should be about 2 weeks total by our realm time standards." Toole chuckled; "You want me to baby sit this place while your gone?" Tolly nodded; 'Pretty much, no major decisions, no holding of court unless its dire emergency, basically you act if something serious like an invasion were to take place."

Toole's face lost expression; "You expecting Merril to attack still?"

Tolly nodded; "Perhaps when i'm gone since it would be the most logical way to seize power, but it would be foolish of her." Tolly stood back up; "I hate to just draft through like this, but i'm on a tight plan of time."

Toole nodded; "Comes with the job I suppose, but i'll keep my eyes open for trouble, and promise to do absolutely nothing unless necessary."

Tolly gave him a narrowed stare; "Yeah that worries me, you looking for trouble..."

Toole chuckled a bit.
