open. i have ridden in your cart, driver,

Who: Gwenaëlle Wynne-York + OTHERS, YOU?
When: Early Iuneril
Where: Aefenglom, the river, Daenerys's farm.
What: Local merrow goes walkabout mostly without feet.
Warnings: Nudity.


Having been invited by Jorah to spend a couple of days with her dog at the farm, it takes a little while to actually find a few free days in her schedule of mostly work and moping; when she does, it is mainly as an afterthought that she leaves a note with the perishables in the upstairs kitchen for Viren:
Yᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ᴘʀᴏʙᴀʙʟʏ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴜsᴇ ᴛʜᴇsᴇ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ɴᴇxᴛ ᴄᴏᴜᴘʟᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴀʏs. Aᴍ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴄɪᴛʏ, ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴡᴏʀʀʏ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ, ʀᴇᴀᴄʜᴀʙʟᴇ ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ. Hᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴀᴋᴇɴ Pᴜᴛɪɴᴋᴀ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴏᴄᴋᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ ᴍʏ ʙᴀsᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ. G.
That accomplished, it's mainly a matter of ensuring that what she does need to take with her can be neatly and not-too-heavily packed into the saddlebags she's made an addition of to Putinka's leather vest, tying a pair of shoes in between with their laces, and holding Putin's enormous head between her hands and assuring him that he is an extremely good boy who is going to get a treat at the other end. (Nature of treat unclear. Might have just created work for Jorah.)

In this weather, it's a relief to strip off the sun-dress at the side of the river that she'd worn this far, stuffing it into one side of Putin's burden and leading him close enough to the edge that, if absolutely necessary, she could reach him with her tentacles. Which she has, a moment after diving into the blessedly cool and cleaner water, just one merrow among a variety of them, the gleam of her jeweled waist-chain sparkling enough to make her easy to track if, somehow, the rainbow-shine of her milky skin and additional limbs somehow wasn't enough.

She isn't in a rush. They have time. This is the most relaxing thing she's done in at least six months; she floats on her back, prism-slit pupils narrow with ease, half of her tentacles clutching and dragging along the side of the river as Putin variously sits nearby or trots alongside.

They follow the river out of the city, which is slightly less relaxing, and Putin has grown accustomed to the periodic investigation of one long, damp tentacle ensuring he is still there, or the way she circles him protectively when he drinks from the river, or that her investigative checking on him tends to result in water dripped on his head. Probably, if he were not carrying things she needs to keep dry, there would be splashing involved; that may come later.

Arriving at the farm, Gwen—

doesn't have a towel. She walks the last distance to what must be the farmstead alongside her enormous dog (arguably, large enough to obscure her present state of undress from some angles), water streaming from her hair down her back and beginning to dry in the air. Probably, she figures, she can borrow one and dry off enough to put some clothes on.

at the river

[Connor doesn't often swim in the river, but it's nice to do so today with all the other Merrows. He's feeling playful leading up to the full moons, and fellow Merrows are so willing to indulge that. He spots Gwen as he circles another Merrow, then bumps her gently as he glides past.

Unlike Gwen, the small bag around his hips is simply decorated with shells and netting. It's a nice thick fabric that won't tear easily, and he keeps trinkets that he finds inside it.]

It's a nice day, isn't it?

It'll only get hotter, I'm sure. Unless it snows again in July.

[He makes a face. He wasn't a fan of it.]

At least the water here is cool.

[Turning around, he lazily swims alongside her.]

I don't often swim here. It's nice, if not a little crowded.

[ Over the river and through the woods – Daenerys had become use to bringing small trinkets to an old oak tree that Lady Edre, the farmland's original owner, has asked her to visit. It was a symbol of love for her and her deceased husband and as age carries on, her tired bones can not make the trek.

She had become use to crossing more carefully across the river – but nothing could prepare her from seeing... well –

a naked Gwen?

Look, after the amount of times she's come out the flames naked, she can't judge. The large dog and the naked woman just make her stop in her tracks at the bed of the river – calling out to the woman who was heading towards their farm. ]


I... didn't... think many would find the weather suitable for ...

[ Naked swimming??? ]

Out of the City

[personal profile] newtralize 2020-06-05 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Newt isn't much of a city folk and never had been despite his living arrangements. The city didn't call to him like the wild did and Aefenglom was no exception to the rule. He makes plenty of excursions outside the city walls and has definitely spent days out in the wild before returning to the Barracks. Wanderlust and the incapability of staying rooted to one spot.

He's dressed down to just his shirt, slacks, and suspenders with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. The weather becoming far less pleasant to his usual attire that he had abandoned his coats and even waistcoats. It still isn't the worst he has endured, having traveled in the humid jungles of Asia.

The weather certainly doesn't stop him regardless of his preference to the foggy and chilly London mornings he hasn't seen in awhile.

Newt notices Putin first, which is honestly no surprise to anyone that knows the magizoologist. He's alone at the moment having let Greg run off to expend some energy. She always comes back to him and he can whistle for her if he needs.
] Well, hullo. Taking a walk? [He doesn't mean to ignore Gwen, but he is just currently enraptured by her large, friendly companion as he kneels down and holds a hand out for Putin to sniff.]

[ Fish are less than thrilled with all this fuss. First a young lady in a chemise and bloomers keeps spooking them away from their favorite rock piles, and now, from another direction, a pale and iridescent merrow sees fit to frighten them into escaping further out than they'd prefer. Their retreat becomes a whirl of squirming, shimmery flashes of fin and scale.

Squarely in the middle of the river and her intended path, Gwen's vampiric headache is upside down and picking over the bottom's smattering of fist-sized, multi-colored stones. Float closely enough and though there are flickers of pleasure in her face that pair with teeny, teeny smiles, these fade fast as if she's already forgotten to be happy with a find. ]

Even the house.

Will you need anything? For when you get back?

For the headaches?

I'm assuming, nice as a getaway is, it may not be a cure-all.

[ it's only fitting that the sight of Putin catches Jorah's eye long before the one of a very naked Gwen cast away in the river. not that it isn't equally eye-catching, mind you, but only because familiarity tugs at his mind's strings at the very first glance of the large canine.

luckily for everyone, Jorah was often dormant at the riverbank in some capacity, usually fishing or foraging nearby for berries and leaves for various needs. he'd be there for hours on end, so fate would ensure it wasn't difficult to let the trio reunite like this. maybe it's Putin's happy yip or bark that grabs attention, but he's quickly found with a smile tugging at the corner of his lips upon seeing him.

sorry, Gwen. you're kind of being cuck'd by a dog right now. Jorah was happily marching over to the goodest of boys, quickly getting down to one knee so he could place both of his calloused hands on the top of his head, ruffling his ears and giving his snout a good pat. ]


It's good to see you too, boy. And your—

[ he turns towards the water. ah. there she is, as naked as promised. he clicks his teeth against his teeth. should he be shamed in watching her if she was so carefree? Jorah doubts she cares. besides, he has to talk to her at some point: ]

Clearly you were in no rush to come visit, but you could have given me a warning.
bloodwit: (his foolish decress)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2020-06-08 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah. ]

A temporary bond shouldn't be difficult to find.
bloodwit: (i've been searching)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2020-06-08 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
And you're not convinced.

What is it that you would be amenable to, then? A permanent witch bond, even if only after a single conversation?
bloodwit: (i'll have to crack your nose)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2020-06-08 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
I've done it; the first witch bond, after one conversation. The second witch bond, after two conversations.

But, given how personal it can be, I DO understand everyone has a differing idea of it.
[ ... inherently silly as he thinks of everyone else's opinions, about everything. ] I'm surprised you've thrived as well as you have for this long.
bloodwit: (wrote a song about that)

[personal profile] bloodwit 2020-06-08 02:37 am (UTC)(link)


Fine.

Regardless, I will keep alert to those -- monsters, witches -- open to permanently bonding, first. Would that be acceptable?
