Chester Medal Awards

---fromENDecus_Amor wrote:Decus raised his head as he heard his name called. It was difficult to remember the times that called for such actions to be taken. He raised his glass and took a deep drink. He had hoped that his part in this battle would have bought peace to England, and him home to his newly formed family. Yet, here he was again on duty away from his wife and the twins. If for peace, if for a better life for them, it would be worth it; yet, he often wondered how much of his actions lined the pockets of wealthy men.

He again raised his glass to his mouth, only to have his lips meet with air. He grimaced slightly and pushed himself away from his spot by the wall, moving towards the bar.

He set his glass down and ordered another scotch, savouring the rich burning flavour as it poured down his throat. Turning around, he leaned back against the bar. As he turned to the left he noticed a woman ordering another drink. He stood straighter and smiled, raising his glass in greeting. "Beautiful night isn't, ma'm?" He tried to shift his thoughts towards this new stranger, instead of the melancholy track they had formerly been traveling on.

"M'lady the carriage is already outside and waiting. Although I would enjoy a dance with you, I'm afraid we have to go."

Ldymorningstern wrote:Yes, m'Lord, perfect timing, she was getting quite chilly.
She slips her arms into the coat which 2nd Lt. Gourounisios is helping her into, and then grabs his extended arm.
As they walk out, she pulls up her hood and is glad when she hears the driver spurn the horses immediately after they both board the carriage.

"For some," she smiled. "But every victory is bitterweet, is it not?" Taking her drink from the barmaid, she sipped at the overly full glass so as not to spill it. "Are you from Chester then, milord?"

Realizing the heat of the hall was starting to wear on her, she set her winecup on the bar for a moment to undo the clasp on her cloak. Eager to find somewhere to set it if she took it off, she turned around to look around accidentally knocking into a young woman with whiskey in hand.

"Oh, I'm so sorry...my fault entirely...." she said reaching for a cloth to help with the spill, but soon realized the woman was grinning and didn't seem to care in the least. Relieved, Inanna picked up her wine again and laughed as she toasted with the woman before taking another large drink. The last thing she wanted was to cause a scene, and especially over something so simple.

She surveyed the room out over the rim of her wineglass and the crowd indeed seemed to be thinning but there were still a few people milling around. Probably for the best I didn't take my cloak off. I should go after this. But even as she thought it she knew her heart wasn't in it, and she sighed thinking of the long lonely ride ahead after she left.

"Well, Mac, it was really good to meet you...and your friend Aiada," she said, nodding in the man's direction. She placed her hand on the woman's arm just for a moment as she caught her eye, "I'm leaving town tonight, but perhaps we can meet for a drink when I get back?" She gave the woman a sly wink then buckled her cape and pulled her hood over her head as she left the hall quickly.
