Rath notes the table is too small to fit everyone. "Please excuse." He has everyone grab their drinks and food then lifts the oak table out of the way and just as quickly replaces it with another, much larger table. "Where would you care to sit Ellanisandriel?" He makes it clear, she may sit nearly anywhere, near anyone, she does not have to sit next to him. The choice is hers.
At Raths' first comment Suny sits in her chair and looks puzzled, then when the dusk skinned fellow simply removes the table, she jumps and a slight squeak of surprise escapes her lips.
At Raths' second question Suny just blinks and indicates she's happy to remian where she is.
"Um..." Her eyes again close, her lips moving silently, "Thank you very lo...much." And again she smiles, even as she stumbles over her chosen words a little.
Rath nods at Suny's choice and sits down, still not entirely what alternate reality he has fallen into but willing to give it a shot.
Hearing her stomach, he slides the plate of bacon-wrapped scallops towards her, "These are quite, good. Please to try, Sun- Ellanisandriel. Would you like a drink? I think this is Fey Blossom wine." He says reading the bottle that has suddenly appeared on the table with a large collection of glasses. He pours her a glass, places it in front of her and then resumes sitting, hands in lap, watching her with fascination. He looks utterly perplexed.

Suny nods her head at Raths' words and for a moment simply reaches out, grabs an offered morsel and practically inhales the food. Here large eyes closing in obvious bliss, though her mouth is almost instantly empty as she gulps it down. It is upon her eyes opening that she looks at what the rest of her table companions are doing and again, Sunys' face grows a shade of colour.
She notes the smaller white squares of cloth and how people are using them. Quickly she wipes her hand clean and then laboriously begins to figure out how exactly to use all of the utensils arrayed around her plate. Her attention, while focused upon her new task, does occasionally flick to Rath, but her interest also seems divided in watching Morgaard.
Alis looking at your waitress from across the bar and seems to concentrate.
Within a few minutes of the brown-skinned elf's arrival, your waitress returns with a silver platter brimming with lobster, crab legs, and a bowl full of melted butter. She sets it in front of the brown-skinned elf and says warmly, "If there's anything else you need Miss, don't hesitate to ask, my name is Hannah if you need me. Can I get anything for the rest of you?"
Rath watches Suny inhale the scallops with veiled amusement. He takes a sip of the drink in front of him, not really sure what he's drinking anymore.
Can this day get ANY stranger?
Lureene walks over to the door and waits for Suny to enter first, aand watches for a moment, and wonders why all of the sudden she feels so...strange. It felt like her stomach was jumping inher of its own accord. I can do this, I just need to find some courage, and then I will just walk over to Rath-hun, say good bye, and then leave. Simple as that. And maybe I can do this before I pass out
She walks over to the front door and opens it then sees Suny sitting down at the table, she walks over to her, stumbling in her high heeled boots, and nearly stumbles, but catches herself with her wings, but fails to see Alis, who was in the midst of messageing, and one of her wings slams right into her, and both ladies fall to the ground in a tangled heap.
Laying underneath Lureene, Alis comments, "I would ask if you're ok, but between the two of us, I'm sure your fall was... well cushioned. Sooo, not that you weren't invited, but given today's... awkwardness why come now?"
Gulping uncomfortably at the feeling of the curvy succubus atop her, she continues, "Oh and... could we maybe stand up, please?"
Alis, somehow manages to keep her composure throughout the song only quickening the tempo once when she noticed Suny enter the tavern. When the song finishes, she leans over and says to Havelock, "That was great, you're a natural! I think I'll go to the bar and get us a bottle and some glasses, how's that sound?"
Before Havelock can say a word otherwise, Alis hops from the stage and hightails it to the bar. "Fey-blossom wine, bottle, oldest you have, quick!"
Turning around, she smiles and waves at the rest of your group.
"My dear, all the praise for that performance should be directed to you. I just played the harpsichord. Yes, some wine does sound good..." Havelock trails off once it becomes obvious she isn't listening.
Bottle of wine and several goblets in hand, Alis returns to the table, eyes scanning the crowd for someone. I wonder if she figured out how to use those rings yet...
Is that her still over there by the door?
At the table in-a-flash, Alis deposits the wine and goblets and says, "Here'sanotherbottleofwineIgotoneofmyfavoritesbebackinamomentgirlstuff!"
And fast as a pixie she's by the door.
Havelock looks between the newest guest to the party and Alis' rapidly retreating form. Soon he sits down and pours himself another drink.
Suny looks to the noise and gasps, "Nonononono!" and she leaps from the chair with fluid grace,
Rushing over to where Lureene and Alis have collapsed in a a tangle.
"Hey! Watch yerselves!" Suny begins to help Lureen, gently taking hold of a wing and arm.
"Is you all right Alis? Whut happen' here Lureene?" Suny asks sounding very confused, even as she gently hugs and steady's Lureene figure. "C'mon, luv. I cain't haul ye's both."
"If there's anything else you need Miss, don't hesitate to ask, my name is Hannah if you need me. Can I get anything for the rest of you?"
Rath smiles warmly at Hannah, "Yes, would very much like explanation of what world I am in and what in Hells is going on?" He raises a silencing hand before Hannah can respond, "Poor joke. Will settle for large glass of Port. Having feeling night about to go sideways."
Trying to help
Whilst trying to help the two top-heavy blondes to stand up, Suny loses her own balance falling sideways to land firmly atop Lureene's wings.
A muffled, "Ooof!" escapes Alis at the added weight. Could this day get any weirder?
Lureene tries to extricate her self from Alis, and now Suny, but then she notices the room doesn't stop spinning for a moment, or at all. She stares around trying to get her bearing, but after she is knocked back to the ground again, and she faints.
SUny just manages to get Lureene up off Alis when her balance is thrown off by the 'extra' shape of the succubus. Then, when Lureene collapses just as unexpectedly, Suny is caught under the fainting Lureene and on top of Alis.
"Augh..*muphle*!" She she is caught in a sudden snuggle pile of friends.
As she tries to lift Lureene off herself and poor Alis trapped beneath them both. With that not working she does the next best thing that comes to her mind
And slips out of her dress and free of the other pair of women. Quickly spinning and kneeling, she tries to gently move Lureene to allow Alis at least some respite.
"Ha! There ye go luv!" (^_^) Suny exclaims happily, then her face sets into a frown asn she tries to help poor Lureene into a sitting position.
"C'mon, luv, please? wake up?" She whispers, a slight tremble noticeable in her voice.
Alis just barely manages to catch Lureene as she falls again, and Suny as she also topples. Fortunately their tender noggins are protected from striking any hard objects by Alis' gold-lief encrusted cleavage.
Rath is going to kill me next. *sigh* I never noticed that they actually wall-papered the ceiling inbetween the support joists, well isn't that interesting...
Havelock looks over to the three women and begins to stand up. "Well, I better go help Alis up. Wish me luck." Havelock walks over to the pile and attempts to help Alis up, scowling at the others' placement.
Even Rath, relatively drunk, utterly confused, and having pegged his wierd-sh!t-ometer about 2 hours ago, STILL cannot miss what is happening.
Three women, wings, go-go boots, trouble... He sighs and gets up. He debates leaving but appreciates that Ellanisandriel is really trying... What she is trying to achieve, he doesn't know. But he, as is his nature, gives her the benefit of the doubt.
He wanders over and starts gently picking up women with Havelock.
"Thank the gods that you're still sober at least..." Alis holds on to Havelock to steady herself and shakes her head at what a day it's been. This is going to be the talk-of-the-town by tomorrow afternoon. Mwangi can't come soon enough!
"Oh Rath! Um, look who I bumped into... er— literally. Now don't go getting upset, she didn't see me there in my... gold... dress." Alis' shoulders slump in frustration and she makes a sound like a creaky old door. "Pleeeeaaaaase let's not break anymore glass today, okay?"
Once Ravarath helps the unconscious form of Lureene upright and guides her over to a chair, she starts to stir again. "Where am I, what happened there?" Her eyes flutter open and sees Rath looking at her. She murmers "I'm glad I found you before you left, Rath. I just need a few moments of your time, then I will trouble you no more."
To Suny she replies, Yeah, hun I feel fine, its the demon blood in me, it burns the effects of alcohol quickly. She glances at Rath as she emphasizes the word 'demon'.
Suny skips along with Ravarath as he aids Lureene to a seat. She crouches next to her,
"Are ye all right, luv? Ye gave me a heck o' a fright, an' that's a' truth!" Suny asks with concern, large blue eyes looking intently at Lureene.
Alis takes the seat that Havelock helps her to and waits with baited breath to see what happens. Perhaps without realizing it, she appears to be hugging the bottle of Fey-Blossom wine to herself.
Morgaard chuckles at the pile up, but sees that everyone is alright. Rather than add his bulk to the pile by trying to assist, he looks around the room to see how many others may have taken notice.
In response to the message he recieved from Alis, starts filling empty shot glasses with hirschblut and passing them around.
Lureene takes a shot offered by Morgaard, and sniffs it, then turns to him, asking Where exactly did you get Jaeger-meister at?" She avoids looking at Rath, not wanting to see his reaction to her, now.
"Is there any food left?"
"Pleeeeaaaaase let's not break anymore glass today, okay?"
Rath says with an edge in his voice, "Rajkumari Alis, apologized before for ruining date-night, several times. I feel bad about that. Said would not do again. Will not unless more Gladiators come jumping through windows. Cannot say what others will do. But please do not call my honor into question, particularly when I have done nothing yet."
Suny stands up, glad that Lureene is reviving. A look of concern and puzzlement cross Sunys face....Now, just what had she forgotten? As she lifts a bare brown arm to scratch absently at her short blond locks.
At Lureens comment about food, her eyes again light up.
"Ooo! Lureene! Ye's gotta' try these claws-er wrapped in whutever they be rapped in!" Suny eagerly reaches out and moves the plate of lobster and other things towards Lureene.
Havelock looks at Suny with bewilderment for several seconds before nudging Alis. "Hand me the bottle, will you? I intend to drink until this night makes any sense."
How exactly did that happen?
Rath looks at Suny briefly, sighs, picks up her dress and hands it to her. "You forgot this, Ellanisandriel."
Lureene turns to the food, and immediately starts digging into it, as she has a bite of the scallops, her mind registers the fact that Suny is naked again. When did this happen?
"Ellanisandriel, is that your true name?" she asks Suny.
At seeing Suny naked in her favorite tavern, Alis' eyes roll back and she slumps over forward forehead landing on the edge of the table. Fortunately, between Havelock, Morgaard and Laithoron, the bottle of Fey Blossom wine remains intact.
Alis finds herself standing in the middle of a beach under a huge blue sky. Not far away, she finds the most peculiar scene. An endless row of munchkin sized, naked little brown-skinned elves jumping out of conch shells and jousting with sea rushes from atop the backs of snowy-white sea gulls. Well isn't that something?
Rath looks at Suny briefly, sighs, picks up her dress and hands it to her. "You forgot this."
At Ravaraths' comment, Suny bounces upright and her large blue eyes seem to pop impossibly wide. Again, she's blushing, and as she reaches for the offered fabric her embarrassment probably covers her entire frame.
"Um..thank'e." She whispers, as she hangs her head and begins to pull the now very worn and rumpled fabric over herself. Soon she settles into a chair beside Lureene and folds her hands into her lap, her head continuing to loll forwards, blond locks falling to cover her face.
"Ellanisandriel, is that your true name?" she asks Suny.
At Lureenes' question, Suny just gives a simple bounce of her head in acquiescence.
"Aye." She whispers softly.
Lureene turns to the food, and immediately starts digging into it, as she has a bite of the scallops...
"Ah, the hirschblut is made in several different woodland regions, each with a slightly different quality. I have found that the best comes from the mountian regions where they add a small amount of spruce oil to the mixture. So, the Meister of the Jagers is from many different regions, though some areas produce better quality than others. This we are having here is about middle of the road - not the best, but not bad either."
Havelock waves down a waitress. "Miss, is there a spare room? My friend could use a bed."
Rath sighs, shakes his head, turns, and heads to the bar leaving Alis in Havelock's care. People never change.
At Morgaards' words Suny can't but help a furtive glance towards the fellow.
Seeing Ravarath getting up and moving away, a determined look comes across her featues.
"Ex'cuse me please Lureene?" She whispers, stands and runs a hand across her dress, then begins to walk slowly after Ravarath.
Lureene turns to the food, and immediately starts digging into it, as she has a bite of the scallops...
Lureene sees Rath get up and head to the bar, and all of the sudden, Majjeff's warning comes back to her again. She gets up and approaches him. "Rath, uhh Ravarath, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Seeing Suny get up first, she asks, "Can I go first?"
Havelock waves down a waitress. "Miss, is there a spare room? My friend could use a bed."
"Oh yes, I'll fetch the key to princess' room and let her in right away sir!"
Rath talks to Hannah at the bar, gets another drink and a glass of water, and finds a small two-person booth across from the bar proper. He closes his eyes and tries to center himself despite the nasty spinning headrush effect he gets. breathing... breathing... breathing... He opens his eyes, hoping things will seem better than they appear.
He opens his eyes and Suny/Ellanisandriel is standing there. One or the other, the question is which and what it all means. He motions for her to sit, if she wishes. He isn't mad, but she can see he is monumentally tired.
Lureene sees Rath get up and head to the bar, and all of the sudden, Majjeff's warning comes back to her again. She gets up and approaches him. "Rath, uhh Ravarath, can I talk to you for a moment?"
Seeing Suny following her, she asks, "Can I go first?"
Suny nods and grins happily,
"O' course ye c'n, luv." (^_^) She bounces forward and hugs Lureene. "Ye give me quite th' scare there!" A look of concern enters her eyes as she gazes at Lureene. "Ye sure ye're all right, then?"
Havelock waves down a waitress. "Miss, is there a spare room? My friend could use a bed.""Oh yes, I'll fetch the key to princess' room and let her in right away sir!"
"Good." Once the man returns, Havelock picks Alis up (hopefully with someone's help) and carries her to her room.
Havelock only smirks at her mumbled comment.

Havelock only smirks at her mumbled comment.
Morgaard stands from the table and moves toward Havelock and Alis:
"I'll be helpin' you with her, lad."
Apparently Suny/Ellanisandriel was NOT in front of him... he opens his eyes and...
Havelock only smirks at her mumbled comment.
Alis stirs slightly as Havelock and Morgaard help to carry the weary princess to her chamber and tuck her in. "Thag you Uncle Morgelock, I Havegaard to put party on my tab. Sure to tip waitstaff well... zzzzzzzzzzzzz"
