Home again, home again.

With that being said, we should discuss who will be representing us on this joint-pantheon search.

Comments

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

I have every intention of conducting the search. If anyone else wishes to join me, I would not object.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

You're going yourself?

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Of course.

[Filter: Mab]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Are you certain that's wise?

[Filter: Bres]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

What do you mean?

Re: [Filter: Bres]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

You're our leader. Don't you think this may be putting you at risk?

[Filter: Bres]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

I am conducting a search, not leading a war charge. What do you think could possibly happen?

Re: [Filter: Bres]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

In a world where gods walk among men?

That's a rhetorical question.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

It's not rhetorical if I'm looking for an answer from you. You're concerned for a reason. I would know what that reason is.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

I'd rather not contend for authority if something happened to you.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Should I make out a will naming you my successor in the untimely event of my demise? Really, Bres I have no intention of dying any time soon.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

No. ..very well.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

If you're so concerned, come along. Unless you're afraid the unknowable thing that may or may not do me in will get you too.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

..are you attempting to tweak at my ego, Mab?

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Me? Never.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

-_-

I suppose I could...

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Let me know when you make a definitive choice.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

..let's see how the team shapes first.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

As you wish.

While I have you here, apparently I'll be in Georgia soon. My mother has a yen to go shopping since I missed Thanksgiving. She asked me to invite you to lunch.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

..she what?

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

This is text, Bres. How on earth do you misunderstand me? She asked me to invite you to lunch with us.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Defense mechanism. Why would she suddenly invite me to lunch?

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Some sense of politeness? She said your mother was already indisposed and told me to ask you. Why she couldn't ask you herself, I'll never understand. Apparently the generation gap automatically makes me her personal liaison to anyone under the age of 40.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Mother has been cooperating with the Board to run things while I was gone. She's taking a vacation from people.

I haven't spoken to your mother in..not sure, but it's been years at least.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Well if you meet us for lunch you can ask her then.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

..this may be the masochist in me, but I'm intrigued. I'll be there.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Good. It'll be a relief from having her as my sole company. If only for a short while. I'll tell her.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Very well. Just to clarify etiquette rules, there's no grabbing your thigh under the table, right?

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Not unless you want the same treatment in return. And remember, you're easier to torment in that fashion.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

You're right, should show restraint. At least in front of your mother.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

If I was any less a lady I'd make a snarky comment about your bravery, but I'm not, so I won't.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

...you planning on wearing a dress, skirt, or pants?

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Do you have a request?

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Just want an idea of what I'd have to bypass.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

And I'm giving you the option to pick your preference.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Skirt.

[Filter]

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

As you wish. I know just the thing.

Re: [Filter]

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

Excellent.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

I wish you the best, Mab, but I'm not in a position to be going anywhere right now. I'm lucky to still have my job and two safe kids. And with it being so close to Ebony's due date, I'm needed here. Not that it wouldn't be fun. Just, y'know. Family responsibilities.

[kingoftwoworlds.insanejournal.com]

No one can fault you for that, Ogma.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Thanks, bro.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

That is not an issue, Ogma. I would not have allowed you to come, even if you had volunteered.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Excuse me?

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

You're child is due quite soon, and arrangements are being discussed for her moving closer to you. You are needed right where you are.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

Hence my choosing to stay where I am. But really? You wouldn't allow it?

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

Correct.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

...I didn't realize you felt such an investment in my family, Mab.

[winter-queen.insanejournal.com]

The welfare of my people is always my concern, Ogma.

[inked-oak.insanejournal.com]

How very generous and conscientious of you, Mab.

Don't even think about turning my son into one of your pawns. He's off-limits. Period.
