Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 4:09 pmKevin stood by Caledfwlch, head tilted in curious study of the sword. He was also sucking his finger after trying to touch the water shielding it, because of course he did.

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:04 pmThe water sort of moved in a circular fashion around and up the blade only to move back down the same way. The water was cool and pure to the taste and touch, but as he stood there looking Vivienne came running up the path looking slightly panicked. "Oh! You are not the thief.." She stopped and composed herself.

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:09 pmKevin faced her, looking apologetic though slightly perplexed.
"Sorry! I know I shouldn't touch, but... it's just so cool!" he grinned, "Pun semi-intended."

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:21 pm"No harm was done. I placed a protective ward around it to alert me if it was touched. Please forgive my abrupt arrival." She smiled and bowed slightly in greeting. "I am Vivienne and that is Caledfwlch, my sword."

Wait wait wait... Isn't that Welsh for Excalibur? If she's the Tuatha chick then... holy shit...
His eyes lit up. "No way..."

Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:16 pmHer brow lifted in confusion. "A pleasure to meet you Kevin. Is something wrong?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:19 pm"The Excalibur?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:23 pmVivienne looked shocked and blinked a few times. "Yes...in a way, however, the one called Sackville has the blade by that name."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:40 pm"There's... more than one?" he asked, awestruck.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:46 pm"Unfortunately." She stepped over to the sword and touched the hilt. The water came to her, flowing up her arm.

Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:57 pm"Television reference. Sorry. Just someone who can manipulate water."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:01 pm"Oh, I see, I have not experienced television yet. In truth, from what I have seen in passing, I am actively avoiding it." She smiled.

"Oh most of it's horrible. You pretty much have to know what you're looking for."

Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 10:59 am"And since I do not, I think it best to continue avoiding the device. I have more then enough new devices to occupy my time and several hundred years of history to catch up on first before I attempt to delve in to modern popular culture."

Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 12:06 pm"Then you probably won't understand half of what I say," he smirked.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 12:25 pm"Only if you rely on anything that's happened in the last...eight, nine hundred years as a frame of reference." She gave a little shrug.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 3:06 pm"Ooo. Tricky," he grinned.
"So... you're good with a sword then?"

Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 5:27 pm"I am untested in true battle, but I have managed to hold my own against unwanted suitors."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 7:50 pm"You settle that with sword-fights where you're from?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 8:11 pm"A lady may set the terms if she is of high enough...value. I have no brothers and no father to act as my champion, so I act as my own."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 8:53 pm"I bet the unwanted suitors just hate that," he chuckled.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 10:45 pm"For many, many reasons." She smiled mischievously at the memory.

Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 10:38 am"Would you like a sparring partner who doesn't just want to wed you for status?" he asked eagerly.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 2:59 pm"I think, I would like that very much. Are you familiar with broadswords?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 3:14 pm"Very. Though I prefer the non-basket-hilted variation. My powers first manifested as one."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 3:44 pm"You may use any blade you desire. Though I do no give my word that I will not taunt you if you come at me with a rapier. A favorite of the younger generation of Fey lordlings."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 4:16 pm"Well... the thing is, my selection of actual physical blades that are fit to fight with borders on zero. The one that is most certainly couldn't stand up to yours. The Danger Room could provide, or we could risk a try with my energy sword. I'd like to think it couldn't damage Ex... err... Caledfwlch. Especially if I don't go all out making it."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 6:30 pm"As impressive as it may be for you to be able to say you faced Caledfwlch, it would not be appropriate to use it in a simple sparing. It would be unfair to you and not a true even test of our skill. If the Danger Room can provide us with blades then I think it would be more enjoyable."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 7:47 pm"Agreed," he nodded. "If a little disappointing," he smirked.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 7:55 pm"Would it ease your pain to be able to say you've spared against the daughter of the Lady of the Lake?" She smirked as she attempted to tease him.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 8:02 pm"Seriously?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 8:47 pm"I am." She chuckled at his reaction.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:05 pm"What's she like?"
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:14 pm"Kind, beautiful. Strong and willful." She smiled. "Wickedly clever."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 9:32 pm"She sounds wonderful."
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2014 10:50 pm"She is, I miss her very much." Vivienne said softly.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 10:37 am"You... can't go home?" he asked.
Re: Sept 10: Ooo... Pointy
Posted: Mon Nov 24, 2014 2:56 pm"I can not. No one comes in, no one goes out. It is fey politics. A combination of several things made them lift the barrier to allow me to come here." There was a bit of an edge to her voice as she spoke about the 'fey politics'.
