Emma blushed at the Faun's words, jerking herself out of her reverie. "I take that as a great compliment."
It still amazed her that she loved him.
Even more astonishing was that he loved her.

Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
She stayed quiet for a moment, taking another sip of water. Kaok shouldn't have mentioned the subject, now she was going to get all worried about what sort of place her relationship would head. She tried to distract herself. A total non-sequitur arose.
"What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Completely deadpan, Kaok wasn't even sure if she was joking.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.

"I would answer that truthfully, but I would be cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril. What, I might ask, is the capital of Assyria?"
Emma may not have known very much about pop culture, but she knew her Monty Python like the back of her hand.

"Well, there were four-." The Faun started, cleared her throat and corrected herself.
"I don't know that."Someone told me theres a girl out there

Emma glanced down at the ground beneath the Lieutenant, half-expecting it to open up into some hellish chasm.
That, of course, did not happen.
But it would have been funny.
"Well quoted."

"My old - and less annoying - retired captain had a reunion between a few soldiers. It was a sort of movie night."
She was introduced for the first time then, it was a beautiful thing. Though she had been the only non-human there.
"Guess what we watched?"Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,

"I can't imagine." she replied with a joking tone.
She took a sip of water, keeping a mental lookout.
Her Lord was testing a spell, and she ought to be feeling it relatively soon.
Perhaps the Lieutenant would as well; they did share blood, after all.

((Aaaagh. D: ))
The Lieutenant yawned, and it was hard suddenly to keep her eyes open.
"I think it's time for me to retire." Jayim sighed, dreading the thought of having to get up again. But she did eventually, and it hurt, but she made a new promise to herself that she would sleep in tomorrow. More rest meant less time until recovery - and recovery meant she could return to battle. She longed for that day...
"Good night, Lady Emma."
And with that, she made her way upstairs carefully and to her room. The soft bed was very welcome, and she was asleep almost instantly.Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

"Good night, Lieutenant."
She shivered as power flooded the area, a complex net of spellwork washing over the Vestal and the surrounding area.
Emma's eyes were wide as she fingered the silver at her throat. "Oh, you are a clever fellow."
You flatter me.
I do not.
With that, she vanished in a flash of silver-blue light, a magic not of her own making.
But he had her permission.

The next night, the air was calm outside and the star-studded sky was clear of cloud.
Emma materialized out of the fireplace, small tongues of flame forming a circlet in her hair.
She was humming under her breath.

Remus entered the tavern for a quick drink and maybe some friendly company for an hour or so. The Imperator noticed Emma and politely greeted her.
"Good evening, Emma. I can almost always count on you being here when I walk in for a drink."

She nodded in greeting. "We do see a lot of each other here, don't we? I spend a few hours here daily, a bit of interesting conversation and news does one good."

Ragdoll walked into the tavern as he looks around.
"hello fellow domers and BOOs..."
Ragdoll walked in and sat down ordering a drink.

Remus nodded to Ragdoll and turned back to Emma.
"Indeed it does. So how have you been today? Anything of interest happen since we last met?" Remus asked.

"I've been quite well...the library is covered in sheet music at the moment."
She had been doing a bit of vocal training.
Well, to say 'a bit' would be a lie.
A very large lie.
