My name invoked thrice, I came.
As if you weren't planning it, Mab.

Looking younger and weaker every time I see you Auberon.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

And you older and more haggish. Why have you used my name?

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I was never as obsessed with youth and beauty as you.
As for your name, why not? Did I distract you from some new play thing? Or, dare I say it, the hunt?

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

You were, when we first married.
And no. I was sleeping, little enough need for it, but I so dislike traveling in your time.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

I was a young fool then.
Strange that I have no fear of your realm, but mine sends you crawling back into bed.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

So are you an old fool, now?
I do not fear it, simply disdain it.

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

We are both old now, only you remain a fool.
Do you even remember the last time we did not hate each other?

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

I shall never grow old.
Yes. It was right before...

[mabofwinterdark.livejournal.com]

Too late.
You mean before you're lover poisoned me with iron and killed the only child that we had?

[ifwebefriends.livejournal.com]

Oh, bloody wonderful.

My lord.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

Not pleased to see me, Puck who was once mine?

[ifwebefriends.livejournal.com]

*too-bright smile*

I am always pleased to see you, milord. I was merely under the impression that the court had... deemed this world unworthy of further involvement.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

You always smile too much when you lie. I suppose that's why I let you get away with them.
As for this world, my wife has taken a new attention to this world, changing everything in her own lands. I have no such intentions, but neither will I allow her to gain everything alone from these changes.

[ifwebefriends.livejournal.com]

Also because my lies often amuse you, my king.

*sighs* As you say, milord. *sweeps a bow* Will you be needing my sworn service, or shall I carry on with my own diversions?

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

Do they? I thought I put up with them because you're efficient, when you don't mess everything up.
Do my marital issues bore you, Hob? I assume I could find something to entertain you, especially back Underhill. *his smile was not pleasant but definitely wide* Or does my service no longer suit you? I'm sure I could get the queen to find a place for you in her court.

(Sorry, he's being a prick and I know it...)

[ifwebefriends.livejournal.com]

I am that too. *bows*

*wide eyes* Of course not, m'lord. How could one ever be bored by the ongoing soap opera drama of your wedded bliss? Or, indeed, ever tire of your service? No. I am your sworn creature dammit.

I only wished to know if I should put my own games on hold that I might better serve.

(The prerogative of kings...)

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

You've gotten out of the habit of service, Puck.
I have never felt need to punish you for that sharp tongue, but you had the sense to use it mostly behind my back. Only a fool punishes a servant for that. But to my face?
Especially when I've given you so many years of leave, so much freedom. For your head, she might forgive me much. Especially if you are still attached to it until her's are done with you.

(Poor Puck, the latest fight with Mab, not so good...)

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

*curious look at the fey king* Not my lord.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

Unseelie or unaligned? *snorts* Not that I care either way. Except that it might be a way to annoy Mab.

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

*tilts his head slightly* Unaligned, I suppose. At least those that I serve are.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

So the rumors of other groups is not unsubstantiated. Good to know, especially when she does not.

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

It's rare that there are only two opinions on a matter, why should there only be two courts. *is being very polite about himself*

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

*laughs richly* Indeed. You speak well for one of another land. No wonder they took you into their service.

[elementwizard.livejournal.com]

*smiles a bit* Just because one is from another land, does not mean they can't speak well, M'lord.

[auberonsun.livejournal.com]

No, normally it means that they typically don't understand what is offensive or not. Not that one can blame them, but there is a certain aura to maintain.
