The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

The baby going down ok? She's as cute as a kitten

*Hosta pours the wine.*

That is twelve tobran please.

*She smiles at Gwenllian.*

One wine coming up.

Gwennie! Oh my dearest I have needed you so badly! Where to begin... No! You must rest and enjoy your first night back.

All Kalvos does now is train for his duel... I doubt he woukd give me asecond look...but I love it!

seem to have made the picture a bit big trying again!

That's better . glad you Like it Phil, now what's going on? when is Kalvos fighting his duel?

I don't know, it has been delayed but I have got a duelling master to train him... But Stark, tthe duellist says Kalvos isn't allowed any distractions and so he hasn't set eyes on me or the baby for days. I fear he will forget his love for us...

*She sighs and coughs.*

There's more but... Why ruin your night back?

Damn that is one fine looking outfit. I mean. Oh boy!

*He grins*.

I'm checking out the talent and I always liked a lady who was good with her hands. If you'll pardon the suggestion. I'm the kinda guy who is good with his hands too.

*He leans on the bar*.

I like to whittle. You know. Carving little ornaments out of wood. I'm kinda good at it. But I won't blow my own trumpet.

*He smiles ay Philomena*.

I can't stop. Kalvos has gone off. Maybe he should take a bath.

*He chuckles*.

Like that was a joke right?

*He mutters to himself*.

Yeah it sure was. Right, I'll just go water my horse. And I'll see if I can pick up his scent.

*He winks at Gwenllian and heads off to the privy, but finds a moment to call back*.

Catch you later toots. Hope you're wearing that hot piece of material.

*Arabella smiles at Gwenllian.*

It is good to have you home. If Kalvos has left his training, I have no doubt he is heading straight to my Lady's bed! In fact...

*Her eyes look up at the ceiling.*

I think I can hear them in there together now... Unless she has taken another lover? Not impossible. Elios is devoted to her and I have seen the way Dravenore stares at her beauty when he thinks nobody is looking. If she wished to replace Kalvos in her bed she would have no difficulty.... And yet, I do believe she loves Kalvos more than all others.

She does indeed, considering it is not in a mermaids nature to be faithful, I think she has done amazingly well!!

Yes, even when he was in prison! Although she was heavily pregnant at the time.

*Arabella sighs*

I do not approve her choice, although I suspect she could do worse than Kalvos... The name Vortigern Jett springs to mind!

much worse indeed, I think she and Kalvos are very good for each other, and who knows they may even bring to nations together through their child , though I do wish the Queen would release him from this pointless duel!
