Cake & Departures
Jun. 14th, 2015 04:43 pmThe present pile shrinks away to nothing, and as the last gifts are being opened, a massive white cake comes in the double-doors, so large that it takes four of the automatons to carry it and almost loses icing on the top sill of the door.
Lioncourt looks up from her present pile, and blinks.
"Oh, the cake!"
A sudden frown comes over her face, then she closes her eyes...
With a flash of light, an equally-massive cake suddenly occupies most of the present table, its spindly legs groaning under the weight of the platter as well as the unwrapped presents. Notably, this one is chocolate-brown.
With a flick of her hands, streams of porcelain leap up from amid the dirt of the garden, quickly forming into an additional table for the automatons to place their own heavy load onto. Unlike the wooden table for the gifts, it doesn't creak when the cake's deposited onto it.
"Sorry for the delay, everyone: these gifts have been so unexpectedly interesting that I've been delaying your opportunity to have cake! The one my servants just brought in is vanilla, a delicacy on my world: the one occupying the gift table is, ah, whatever wonderful flavour Esthfora's candies are. Both of them are excellent, but I must admit that the Esthfora cake is probably better. While I finish with the last few presents, please feel free to ask the servants for your desired flavor."

Date: 2015-06-15 02:57 am (UTC)Hm, this will do: She scales a short wall dividing this section of the garden from the next one, cake plate carefully balanced in one hand, and sits crosslegged on the top.
She's being subtle about watching the people she's interested in - and particularly careful not to be too obvious about watching Aisilian - but she's not exactly hiding what she's doing; someone with a few decades of paranoia under their belt would probably notice fairly easily.

Re: Meletiti Entelecheiai and Inkspot
Date: 2015-06-15 11:11 pm (UTC)Now armed with cake, she locates Aisilian with arcany. He has a somewhat awkward question to answer.
One short walk later: "Hey."
Yeah, she's not going anywhere until he explains himself.

From:Kit
Date: 2015-06-15 11:05 pm (UTC)She brings it with her as she starts exploring the castle. The nice god told her that it keeps changing, and she wants to see. She’s looking for someplace interesting; someplace she hasn’t been before, too, but that part’s easy.
Re: Kit
Date: 2015-06-15 11:21 pm (UTC)It's sunny outside, and the stones of the castle are hot enough to flinch from. A brass railing blocks off the two-story fall to the outer courtyard below, but the view is nonetheless excellent: The greenery of the castle grounds, and then a plain of black basalt, dotted here and there with massive hangars. The clang of hammers on metal rolls across the smooth stone, perfectly clear even this far away. In the distance, a town crouches on the dark rock, the noon sun catching tiny reflections off of windows and bannisters. The air smells of sea salt, smoke, and sawdust.

They could be engaged in conversation, if anybody wanted.

Date: 2015-06-16 01:14 am (UTC)Time for what will probably be a less pleasant one, if her rather disappointing reaction to his gift was any indication.
First, though, he had better find Orz. Somehow, he suspects this will not be difficult.
