City of Cresthall

Bennett launches another bread roll at Crispy: Attack: 6 Damage: 3 ((Advantage cause grappled?))

And sidearm throws another at Hatt: Attack: 11 Damage: 3

Crispy saw the bread roll coming. She opened her mouth and tried to catch it as she laughed. "N-!"

Performance: 16

*POW* right in the kisser. Bennett was throwing with some force, and Crispy knew she's get a fat lip after that roll popped her in her money maker. At least he can hit with breakfast sides. She shifted her position and kicked as hard as she could at one of the legs of Bennett's chair, hoping to knock it askew and cause him to fall.

Athletics: 12

KERPLOW!!! Kicking it at JUST the right angle, Crispy knew two things. Bennett was on the floor, and she owed the establishment one unbroken chair.

Karra isn't wanting any of these shenanigans.

Stealth: 10

Bennett's bread roll hits the side of Hatt's head and bounces off.  Hatt watches it roll along the floor, and then turns upon Bennett the most heartbreaking look of hurt and innocence you could imagine, before grabbing an apple from the table and launching it, at full speed, right between his eyes:  Attack: 17 Damage: 1.  

Gasp is fluttering around, trying to snatch bits of flying food straight out of the air! Otherwise, just trying to avoid getting hit in the crossfire.

Bennett hits the floor and watches Hatt's bread roll fly over him. He starts rolling on the ground laughing so hard his face turns red.

Ashley lays sprawled on the floor,  breathing heavy and trying to regain her composure. Until Bennett hit the floor. All bets were off and she fell victim to another round of laughter.

Completely paralyzed with a fit of laughter, Crispy held her stomach and rolled around on the floor, tears coming out of her eyes. Covered in breakfast, she tickled Ashley a bit more and helped her up, getting up from underneath the table. She hugged her, kissed her, and gave Bennett a squeeze on the shoulder, helping him up. 

She looked at the broken chair again and the mess she had made and just started laughing again.

Ashley looked at the mess and couldn't help but keep laughing. She moved over to the chair her bear broke. I got this. As she cats mending to fix the chair. 

Hatt gingerly steps over the giggling, shaking figures on the floor and retrieves his wayward bread roll, placing it on the table and resuming his seat, wiping crumbs and any other stray foodstuffs from his slightly-less-clean-than-five-minutes-ago armour.  The best kind of fight, he says, unable to stop grinning, everyone wins.

Once Crispy could breathe again, she thanked Ashley for fixing the broken chair. She took her by the hand, and said to everyone, “Would you all excuse us for a moment? We need to powder our noses.” She took Ashley and headed to their room.

Ashley was going to drop a few fold on the table to pay for the mess, but was all to quickly whisked away to get cleaned up. When they get to their room Ashley immediately begins drawing a bath. I think this tub is large enough for two. We should be quick though. I would like to get our part of this task done. But let's not hurry too much. This day has been perfect so far. I love you so much, my bug ferocious cuddly bear. Ashley gins with satisfaction.

"As would I," Crispy agreed, stripping as quickly as she could out of her dress. "Don't worry. I'll make it quick. But, not TOO quick." She grinned saucily, "Hells, I love you, too. I could not think of a more perfect day." She got into the tub, they cleaned up, and finished their breakfast..

..but not downstairs.

Well, says Hatt as Crispy and Ashley leave the room, I don't suppose we'll be seeing them again today.  An odd honeymoon, as honeymoons go I suppose, but there are worse places to have it.  Once the room is back in order and unlikely to anger the innkeeper or get the city guard called down upon them, Hatt again asks Bennett; You know most of this case, right?  What do we actually want from this Niyra?  How do you suggest we approach the conversation.  He looks at Karra; I'm ready to go when you are.

(Haha no, we're coming back down shortly. Insert play on words joke here.)

For the first time, perhaps since she was a little girl, Crispy hummed while she dried and combed her hair. She looked into the mirror and saw Ashley drying and dressing up and couldnt help but pause and look at how beautiful she was. Crispy’s heart pounded with love and she smiled and finished combing her hair, tying it into a ponytail finally.

She wanted to stay in their room all day, and make love to Ashley until next week but they had still work to do and then go home. That would be a perfect time to get away for a bit and a thought crossed her mind.

”Baby? Maybe one day when we’re done with this we could go visit your parents? What do you think?”

Ahsley hesitated for a moment. I suppose. It would he nice to check in on them. Ashley fits Into her standard gear and does what she does to make her self look pretty, but in a natural, practical way.

She sees Cora doing the same, but she has yet to put on any makeup. Seeing an opportunity to shift the subject away from her parents she asks, Do you want me to help you with your makeup? 

"Sure!" Crispy said at the offer. "Hells, how do you look so good all the time? But, baby, I noticed you hesitated when I mentioned your parents. If you don't think it's a good idea, we don't have to. If you're not ready, that's ok." Crispy sat down and took mental notes as they made themselves more beautiful.

I'm, not trying to avoid them exactly Ashley says while applying a vibrant green hue of eye shadow to Coras face. In the correct spots of course. Its um, just been so long. What if they are mad I left. What they moved or God forbid, have passed on and I wasnt there for them. Ashley applies a bit of golden yellow to the green, creating a fading effect that makes Coras eyes sparkle like a sunrise over a peaceful field. She adds a touch of black to outline the eyes themselves.

"Damn, you're good at this." Crispy whispered as she watches Ashley work, but kept thinking about her her parents and everything she missed because of what life handed her. "I know it's your choice, baby. I'll be ok with whatever you chose, and when. But..don't wait too long because then..it'll be too late. what i'm trying to say is, knowing - even though the answer may be bad or hurt you - is better than not knowing at all. Like I said. I'm with you whatever you decide."

Ashley recognized the word Cora spoke. She had said them herself not long ago. She smiles warmly You are right. What ever they say or do, we should visit next time we are able.
