Rooms up above, common room below full of drunk people. Yay. Occastional priest who comes in and yells at everybody, bartender, two barmaids, and a phalax of cats. Have fun.

Joss found Alagan sitting in the common area with several drinks in front of him. "Alagan," she called, moving quickly over to him and kissing him deeply and passionately.

Surprised, he returned the kiss, just as passionately.

She pulled away a few minutes later, a smile on her face. "I have good news and bad news," she said. "The good news is you're no longer Arette's betrothed."

"Um...what?" he asked.

"Yeah...she has someone else. Do you want to know what the bad news is?" she asked, grinning.

"You look evil," he said. "I don wanna know."

Tom looked at the table of glasses in astonishment. -How many drinks has he had?-

"You're now stuck with someone else," she answered.

'Not nearly as many as I had last night.'

He groaned, dropping his head onto the table with a thud.

Tom jumped out of her arms and started lapping up from Alagan's half-drained glass.

"It's not that bad," Joss said. "You're stuck with me."

His head came back up. "Is that the drunken stupor talking or did you just say what I think you just said?"

Tom moved on to a new glass.

"I said that. You're stuck with me. My brother is Carmein's betrothed, Ren is now Arette's...and me, well I'm one of Arette's chevaliers as well. It's a really long story so let's not get into it."

"You're a...Arette kissed you?"

Ayden shimmered right into Carmein's room. "Milady," he said, placing her on her bed.

Joss grimaced. "Yeah, but hey I was dead when it happened so whatever."

Alagan grabbed her and took her to his room

Carmein fell asleep,

and Tom passed out with a belch.

((And Tera did her anthropology homework.))

Ayden layed down on the bed next to Carmein, wrapping his arms around her.

Josselyn chuckled, and once in his room ripped off his shirt.

Carmein snuggled into him, murmering sleepily.

Alagan flipped Joss down on the bed, and you can fill in what happens you naughty author.

((haha, I love it. Almost like a fill in the blank scene. Use your own imagination. rofl))

Ayden stroked Carmein's cheek and ran his fingers through her hair, fully enjoying this moment.

Joss and Alagan...well, yeah, you get the picture. Hot and steamy.

zzzzzzzzzz & tag ur it

Josselyn woke up the next morning, cuddling with Alagan. She just gazed at him, enjoying herself for the first time in a long time.

Alagan opened his eyes, looked at her, smiled evily, and hot and steamy.

An hour later, Joss pulled herself away and looked at him. "So, you missed me that much, did ya?"

"Definately."

Joss walked into the tavern and ordered a drink.

Tom cleared his throat, looking at the bottles arranged so enticingly across the counter from them.

Joss looked at him. "Come on, Tom. You know I don't care what I drink. Just give me something."

Tom looked up at her drolly. -Not for you, for me- he sent.

((Member; Tom's Inn is named that because that's where Tom grew up.))

((It'd be ironic if the bartender was named Tom though.))

((Let's name the bartender Tom, just for fun...oh and my Mom says 'hi'))

Joss looked at the cat. 'I've got ya covered already.' And indeed, she did. Tom, the bartender, served up two of whatever Joss had ordered, one in a large mug and the other in a large saucer.

"Thanks Tom," Joss said before taking a large swig.

Tom-the-cat breifly looked up at Tom-the-bartender, but nothing more,as he was already a quarter way through his saucer.
