Voice Post//On the Move//Mistletoe'd

[treadingdawn]

With heavy cloak in hand I think I may be able to escape detection. The journey will be difficult but a king has his responsibilities and I for one will not turn them away in the face of such peril. I hope to hear from you all upon the day's end. Be safe.

open to action | King Caspian flees

[Have yourself one no-longer-bearded Telmarine trying to creep stealthily through the city streets, on his way to The Blue Light...because telling the Network your plan is the best idea ever.]

[Have a Queen of Narnia going about her shopping. She's managed to only get cornered a few times today, but she spots Caspian and she can't help but go say hello. Look, he's really really obvious]

You know anyone with eyes can tell who you are.

You have a responsibility to run and hide like a little girl?

[Little does Claire know, as she walks along with bags in hand, that they are on a collision course for what has become tradition.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[You know what? You know what? That's not fair cause it's Lucy, of course she's going to know fffffffff. At least she's not a unicorn. But anyway WOOSH. The cloak makes a full sweeping circle when he turns around, one might think he'd be whipping a sword out. Not that kind of sword.]

Oh, Lucy. It's you.

[Relief, except not because the handsome lamp post beside them is slowly, slowly sprouting the kissing sprig.]

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

[Her own cloak swishes a little and she draws the hood down a bit]

I certainly hope you weren't anticipating some kind of attack.

[Well obviously because she's talking to him on the Network she can't possibly be anywhere nearby...right?? He's coming down the street from around the corner perpendicular to hers. Not just yet though. Nooooot yet...]

I have a responsibility not to shirk my duty as dual owner of a fine establishment. And you?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Never from you of course.

[He even smiles, hood down now for him to...shake out his fine hair.]

Have you found much of what you were seeking?

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[What up, Caspian. It's a witch and she's strolling your way because she's forgotten a pair of mittens at work and needs to pick them up before continuing on with her shopping.]

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

Maybe I need to make you more alert to the possibilities.

[She's teasing, really.]

Oh, mostly. Buying gifts for everyone is so much fun, really, but always difficult.

[What is that? That feeling? Her hand goes into his very soft hair, and her mouth touches his in a kiss. Damn plant]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Flutter flutter flutter flutter. That's the sound his cloak makes as he breezes by, narrowly missing the witch except he gives himself away real real real...real easy.]

Ginny?

[adamantined]

[Right! And because she's coming out of a busier-than-necessary store, it's ridiculous to think that they might even remotely come into contact with each other. Besides, there isn't even anywhere for mistletoe to curl at this point, which is why she's paying more attention to her network device than where she is actually going.]

I've got a responsibility to make sure I get presents for everyone on my list, but you don't see me running around with a bag over my head.

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

I think your strength lies in the element of surprise--

[Speaking of. Brown eyes go wide because somehow after all his preparation and speeches IT'S HAPPENING ANYWAY. And in Lucy's case he is almost overcome by the need to tell her magician's books are not necessary for her to be beautiful. The kiss is warm and sweet and most importantly chaste.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

How much have you accomplished without interruptions?

[Gosh she doesn't even sound like she's nearby so Caspian can keep on walking paying attention to this device as he pauses just before the corner turn to listen.]

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

[Once she stops kissing him, her cheeks light up a bit and she flushes]

I think I just proved your point.

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Ginny had been side-eying this mysterious cloaked figure in the moments before he speaks to her, if only because she is a little more paranoid with certain new arrivals to the City.

But that accent is definitely familiar. Pause, squint.]

Caspian?

[Then she cracks a grin.]

What in Merlin's name are you doing?

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Riiiiiiight. BY THE LION'S MANE. He clears his throat and looks left, right. No brothers or unicorn in sight. He's safe...for now.]

Sometimes I think we underestimate this city.

[Ahahahaha...ahahahah...no really, Caspian? Really?]

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

[AND she takes a cautious step backwards]

Perhaps we do. I should think I'll see you at home? Or would you prefer I go with you?

audio ][

[adamantined]

Enough.

[Which is a defensive way of saying 'About zero accomplishments without interruption.' But at least she has accomplished something, and that's more than she can say for Caspian.]

You'd probably be able to accomplish more, too, if you weren't so busy looking over your shoulder. Is all your shopping actually done?

[Crossing the street now, so unawares.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[No worries no dark mark here.] Hello. I was doing my best to arrive at The Blue Light without--

[Without warning Caspian reaches out to grab Ginny and dip her for a kiss. Is that a pigeon circling overhead with a sprig in its beak? Cursed beast.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Here is a princess who is used to spoiling the best laid plans of soon-to-be emperors without even trying. Maybe it works on kings as well. After all, she's not looking for Caspian, but she does seem to be passing near his path.]

[7thborn.livejournal.com]

[Oh.

Well.

Hello.

Ginny supposes, as she lets one hand come up to snake through that lovely lovely hair, that it could be worse. It could be someone she didn't know, which... has already happened. It could be someone not nearly as attractive as Caspian is, and, well, she doesn't deny that he is.

But, also.

It's Caspian.

So.

Damn you, mistletoe and pigeon. Damn you both.]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[All he wants is a fucking drink. That's. All. So he's just outside the Blue Light, about to head in the door.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[His is a half step back, royal and courteous.]

Only if you wish to, or I could escort you home too.

[FOR HER OWN SAFETY, YES, THAT IS WHAT HER BROTHERS WOULD PREFER RIGHT?]

[asbraveas.livejournal.com]

[She smiles a little]

I would hate to make you backtrack at the great danger it poses to your royal personage, Caspian.

I think I'll just find Finnick and have him escort me.

[TEASING. Maybe]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[Oh Caspian detected that defensiveness hah.] Yes as a matter of fact if I hadn't completed that task I would not have the time to work this day.

[Cause Caspian may just be the type to shirk work for shopping. Now he continues walking only to bump into a pint-sized creature.]

Pardon--

[Oh. Oh. Caspian tries to take a step back only to be pulled in by the power of a sprig that has somehow manifested on the awning.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[For Caspian it could be worse, it could be Harry's mom like the last last time or the type of person Ginny's been trying to avoid. He's a very lucky Telmarine to not have met that woman. Besides, Ginny isn't bad either, she's a friend therefore less blush inducing. Maybe. Maybe not.

The kiss still ain't over.

Nope. Not yet.

Ah there we go. Finally he draws Ginny back up.]

...Sorry.
