[hamelinic]

And I... might walk 500 miles.

Comments

[acomedicgenius]

Just to be the man who walked 500 miles?

[hamelinic]

What? No. Absolutely not. More to be falling down at your door, mistress.

But-- it seems rather hard. If I'm walking quite so far, why can't you walk, say, 250 miles? 100 miles, even?

[acomedicgenius]

Darling, I have delicate feet like lotuses. I couldn't possibly.

Don't you miss me?

Invoria but too lazy to change to the other julien

[theacethatmatters]

Is this some sort of bardic thing?

[hamelinic]

[He would pout about that, but he's far too busy looking shocked and dismayed.]

How can you even suggest I don't?

Julien why aren't you more enthusiastic about having two bards in your life. :|

[hamelinic]

Indeed, sirrah. The technical term, if you're up for it, is a 'song.'

[theacethatmatters]

Doesn't sound like any song I've ever heard.

[Grumpgrumpgrump.]

[acomedicgenius]

If you missed me, a thousand miles would not be too far.

Especially since I can teleport you, silly.

[hamelinic]

And are you a great standard of keeping up with modern trends and the influences of the Strangers upon our musical culture, Milord Hacksaw?

[theacethatmatters]

Do you really worry so much about Strangers and their music? Are they not Strangers for a reason?

[hamelinic]

But given that, I'm not certain why I've got to do this actual walking. Unless it's that you don't miss me, and I've got to prove my worth by pilgrimage.

Which.

[Bah.]

I would walk five hundred miles for. And-- likely five hundred more.

[hamelinic]

I happen to be quite good friends with Strangers. Seems a good reason to want to entertain them.

And I can't quite manage it the way your young Miss does, now, can I. She looks far better in those lovely skirts and corsets than I do.

[theacethatmatters]

[Are you asking to die, Cynric. Are you.]

Ayleth. Does not. Entertain. Strangers.

[hamelinic]

[No more than usual. Also no less than usual.]

Just the one? That does make it easier to keep track.

this required a suitable icon

[swordsandsnarls]

How easy do you think it might be for you to make such asinine comments without a tongue, master Bard?

and suitable keywords, I see.

[hamelinic]

...less than with one?

[Just sitting. Half an inch more over. This way. Cool. Cool cool cool.]

If you mind them so much, seems you ought look to your Lady's associates than to me.

indeed

[swordsandsnarls]

My lady may choose whomever she likes to associate with. I take exception to those who speak disrespectfully of her.

Fingers instead of tongue?

[He does, after all, know what buttons to push on a Bard.]

[hamelinic]

[But. But he needs ten fingers. And one tongue. It's important. So important.]

Where's the disrespect, sir? If you read some implication into the idea of entertainment, that's surely the fault of your imagination and not my fingers or tongue.

Fantasy you say?

[tolerablespell]

"Wouldn't it be easier to ride?"


[ETA because when you quote someone you ought to use the right word.]

INTO MY ARMS, YOU. WORDS BE DAMNED. <3333

[hamelinic]

"Certainly." If one had a horse. But that's not the point being made. "It wouldn't really prove the same level of devotion, though, would it."

our fun au verse? also HIIIIII MISSED YOU

[jarvisconsole]

That seems a long distance to travel. Perhaps you should reconsider.

*gasp* How can a bard say that?!!!

[tolerablespell]

She dangles upside down from her tree branch, her long red braid hanging down. "Surely that depends on the steed. Some are more difficult to tame--and ride--than others."

Absolutely so. o/ also wildskh I MISSED YOU TOO, LOVELY. \o/ <3

[hamelinic]

[...damn it, Jarvis. Why must you always ruin his philosophical musings.]

It's not meant to be a practical thing. It's-- really more a matter of a metaphor. Or a-- protestation of faith. Yes?

/clings!!

[jarvisconsole]

[He lives to question your musings.]

I do not understand. You do not intend to walk 500 miles?

Only when people make him spell things. Fuck spelling. Also you should be asleeeep, my love. :|

[hamelinic]

She knows that means he'll be giving the braid an amused tug of affection, yes? Good.

"Perhaps. That doesn't sound quite as catchy, though. 'For you, I would tame a rather difficult mount and then ride in a degree of discomfort over a moderate distance to find you.' Less romantic by far."
