She watched her friend keep digging out scrolls, couldn't help but crack up a little at some of the names. "Belcher of the sheep? Jun..." Tears of mirth soon filled her eyes. The serving wench looked at them funny as she set down refreshments and then she took off. "Oh, gods, you are so funny." Cami shook her head as the bird began to pile the scrolls just so.
"The children are wonderful and I am enjoying motherhood. I miss my little ones right now and hope to be home again soon. My boys are getting tall." She smiled.
"Have you been to visit your family?" she asked before grabbing an egg and taking a healthy bite. Really, they were ever so delicious, she thought with a sigh of pleasure. She would have to remember to take some to Devrin so he could try them.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

"That's a good one by the way." She pointed at Fundor: Belcher of Sheep.
She seemed quite relieved when her hand shot to her pant leg. Ah yes, one more hidden compartment in her gambeson. She struggled to pull the scroll out without damaging it, her fingers twisting and pulling, trying to negotiate the fabric away from the thin paper edges. Goddamn stupid-
"Uh," She winced, "in so far as Vaelar was able to kick me out of my home. But thankfully my parents came to visit me often enough, especially after the accident. Oh, I did go to visit my cousin Vera. The one I used as bait to try to catch a bear by pouring honey on her head? Good times."
The was a slight BANG as Jun's wrist hit the underside of the table, the potential energy of the trapped scroll converted into yet another embarrassment. No food was spilled, but Blackbean's pyramid of scrolls threatened to collapse and send parchment all over the floor. Luckily Jun and Blackbean both had pretty good reflexes; one shot her hand towards one end of the doomed structure, while the other hopped in front of the opposite end. The scrolls spread out like piano keys, but none of them hit the ground.
Jun snapped herself out of her dead-pan stare and smiled at Camilla. "Found it!"
She handed her the scroll. This one read Ladies in Waiting.

"I am sure it is," she said with a chuckle. She watched in bemusement as Jun continued to search for the scroll that the spell was on. Goodness, but her pockets seemed to be deep. And the bird kept making her laugh as well. She wondered who this Vaeler was, or maybe she didn't remember. There was a lot that she didn't remember it seemed. When at last, her friend pulled the correct scroll out, she smiled at the name and took hold of it. Camilla carefully opened the scroll and read through it, then gave Jun a look. "I cannot believe what you named this spell, but you did a wonderful job on it."
She marveled at it for a moment, glad that she could help inspire such a spell that her friend would name it based on their relationship. She was honored, to say the least.
The countess rolled the scroll back up and handed it back over after going through it thoroughly.

There were many magic schools in the world, and just as many magical languages. Those close to nature and attuned to the elements had a certain style to their symbols Camilla would most likely recognize. However, Jun's earlier work, which perhaps Camilla had seen in the past, was based heavily on brute force. Her spells, as intricate as they were, read like a mathematical proof; magic would come here, power would exit there. It was as simple and effective as algebra, and no doubt her work was potent. But something had changed. The language was the same, but now there were intonations and connotations. It was hard for ordinary folk to understand, but there was feeling to her spell, an invitation to manifest instead of a demand. In overcoming her injury, Jun had explored her relationship with magic further, allowing her to create more creative and unique spells... yes, even including the Doobie Du Shoobie Special.(The effect of "Ladies in Waiting") When Camilla and Jun first met, Jun had forcibly resurrected a flower by infusing it with earth magic. However, the symbols invoked here encouraged, A: the propagation of life, B: the infusion of various elements to promote growth gently but rapidly, C: the desire to protect life and not cause harm, D: the assertion of will and mind over hatred and physical violence. These principles enticed the magic to enter into little rose seeds, create the flowers, and then spread their influence throughout a wide area of effect. The end result was dozens of floating blooms arresting the violence of an area, sedating the will of the aggressors and forcibly restraining them with psionic energy. The spell had numerous applications, but it was especially useful for stopping large groups of attackers that one did not wish to kill. The spell was also, subjectively, very beautiful, as one would see if it was ever unleashed. Jun took it back and stared at her collection. Her face turned red and she blushed. "I'm insane. I hate myself sometimes." But truly she felt joy sharing her work with someone who could actually appreciate it. And now she was beginning to understand the delicate power of Camilla's magic as well. She took another scotch egg and chewed through half of it. "I really need the recipe for these." |

"You did a very good job of writing the spell down. You've improved quite a bit since we last saw each other. I am proud of you, Jun." she really was. She gave a snort of amusement when Jun noticed how big her pile was and blushed.
"It's boiled eggs, rolled in flour, wrapped in sausage, dredged in bread crumbs and fried for crispness. That is it. I used to crave these quite a bit whilst pregnant with the twins." she chuckled and enjoyed a bite as well, then followed it with her drink.
Ahh, what a lovely evening this was turning out to be, she thought happily. That Jun was taking the time to hone her craft was good in her eyes, and that they could sit and share their supper together after years of not seeing each other, well... even better.

"That means a lot, Camilla. Thank you." She said softly.
Reassured, Jun decided it was time to relax. She finally took a swig of drink and leaned back. It was the first genuinely contented sigh she'd had in a while.
She missed Camilla. She missed being around friends. She was happy to be around people who didn't judge her for her performance.
Well, technically Vaelar didn't judge her for her performance... at least, not in terms of magic.
"The very first time I had a scotch egg... was in Medan. Of all the things that surprised me about the outside world, I think that's what surprised me the most. All the different kinds of food."
*CAW!*
Jun gave Blackbean a queer look and then held her mug to her. The crow reached in and dipped its beak into the drink. Jun gave Camilla a shifty-eyed look. This probably wasn't very sanitary.

The bird was amusing and Cam thought he knew it, for it kept doing silly things. "I am glad we had the chance to catch up. I have missed you being by my side. I have a feeling that things are going to become much different in the Usque and if I were single and childless, I am sure I would stay and help... You may have a chance to be someone else's companion, but obviously that is up to you now."
She paused and gave Jun a chance to say what she was saying, and nodded, "Scotch eggs are delicious, aren't they?" With a grin, she pushed the plate toward her friend, though she took two of the eggs and placed them in a cloth for later. "I am full, but I would like some for the road."

Jun, perhaps unwisely, took a swig of her cup after pulling it away from Blackbean, who seemed to be sitting and waiting for what effect alcohol would have on its system.
Jun craned her neck and rolled her head as she leaned back against her chain again. She stared into her cup, only now making sure there wasn't crow spittle floating in it.
... There wasn't.
"I'm not sure. To be honest, it sounds like a nice change of pace. Gods there are so many places in the world that need protecting. I wish I could be in many places at once... Then again Isra is more fortified now than ever before, and really there haven't been any world-ending threats in a while. Maybe I should take you up on that."
She nodded to herself as the idea grew on her.
"I should take a few of these back for Vaelar. Lately he's been cooking a lot for me and really I ought to return the favor. I just haven't been able to treat him as well as I'd like to." She sighed. "I've been a bad girlfriend lately."

Camilla lived with toddlers... if a girl wanted to let a bird share a drink, it would not bother Cami. Toddlers were disgusting creatures, snot-nosed germ factories. The bird did not phase the woman. In fact, her expression didn't really change as far as that went. However, she smirked a little when Jun checked her drink and made a jest, "Nothing like sharing spit, huh?"
After Jun spoke about changes of pace, Cam replied, "I have heard there will be a new king or queen chosen by the people of the Usque. I already stated in a letter that I would not wish to be on the list of candidates because of my situation." She gave a light shrug.
As far as the boyfriend situation, Cam wasn't sure how to reply. "I don't think you are a bad girlfriend, I just think life is strange. Besides, you cannot be perfect anyways, that would make for a boring relationship. There has to be conflict or there is no passion. Does that make sense at all?"

"... I mean, of all the ingredients a potion can have, spittle of demon crow isn't the grossest thing out there." She took another drink.
She nodded with understanding when Camilla explained she'd withdrawn claims to the throne. "While I have no doubt you have the requisite wisdom of a queen, it's paradoxically that wisdom that keeps you from seeking the throne." *Hiccup.*
Blackbean, meanwhile, was flattening itself against the surface of the table, its wings spread out slightly, its legs slipping and then collapsing under its body. From this odd position, it started preening itself.
*Hiccup*
Jun, her cheeks somewhat rosy, raised her finger towards Camilla, bobbing it up and down poignantly. "Y-you know what you should do. You should teach me how to dance. I haven't- I haven't danced in a long time. I'll bet if I tried slow dancing with Vaelar he would appreciate it greatly. He's such a shentleman. Oh you'd love him. Bit of a questionable past though. He also has a mighty mount, doesn't he Blackbean?"
Blackbean turned towards the nearest serving wench and let out an obnoxious caw.
"You heard the man!" Jun said while raising her glass towards the wench. *Hiccup.*

Her eyes widened a little when she noticed Jun was getting tipsy. She had never heard Jun hiccup before after drinking, but she amusedly said, "When you have babies, a lot of things become less disgusting than when you are childless. She smiled and bit the inside of her cheek for a moment before continuing to the next reply.
"I think Faisine or young Tana the Tongue-Tied would make great leaders, but that is not for me to decide. I am here merely to observe and pay respects."
She watched the bird acting in such an odd manner and tilted her head. Then he was casing at the serving wench, who gave a perplexed look. It wasn't until after then that Camilla said, "I haven't danced since I was a girl, to be honest. There wasn't time for it once I married Evrand, and Devlin and I have not danced really either. I am sure you will dance with your man, but I am afraid I am not the person to teach you that skill. I would probably step on your toes."

Jun seemed to take offense at the notion that Camilla would step on her toes. For a brief moment, she gave the former royalty a lobotomized glare, as if half her brain was indignant and the other half was on vacation.
"That," she waggled an accusatory finger, "is absurd. You are royalty, the unadulterated descendent of an ancient bloodline, an opuleshent shtar of grace and nobility, the likes of wish stood imperially against the ineffable entropy-creating ever-expanding cloud of chaos and contempt by the bloated bourgeoishie, antithetical ethical aushterity of the arishtocracy, and unrelenting unresht of the untamed underclashes. Your toes could do no more harm than a feline's shushioned paws on rodent prey. You'd apologishise with apoplectic guilt towards your very immortal shoul, bow with ebullient exuberance and command that the *hiccup* finest linens of the farthest reashes of the world be used to embalm my poor appendages. You'd, you'd..."
Jun blinked.
"Camilla I- you should know I don't handle alcohol well."
Blackbean looked up at Jun, then seemed to nod towards Camilla in agreement.
"Oooh we should take dance classes together that'd be so cute."

Camilla wasn't quite sure what was going on with Jun other than she was drunk as a skunk. She didn't really understand half of what the woman was saying except that she did not like that Camilla said she couldn't dance very well. With a grimace, Camilla shook her head, "I was never interested in learning courtly dances," she said honestly. "And you are right, you are three sheets to the wind, my friend. Perhaps you had better eat something more than just scotch eggs. How about stew? And some bread?" She wasn't worried that Jun would act a fool, but she did know that if Jun didn't take care of herself, she would end up with a massive hangover and then where would they be at?
Cami flagged down a serving wench and ordered the things in question, then whispered, "And some water for her too." The wench nodded and took herself off before anything else could be asked.

Jun giggled and her face fell in her hands. "This is so embarrassing. I had like one cup!"
If Camilla remembered their time together, Jun was notoriously bad at handling alcohol. Normally she was fully aware of this weakness of hers, but this time she seemed to have completely forgotten herself. Perhaps she thought everything she had been through had translated into a scrappy, neck bearded, battle-hardened liver. Unfortunately, she was as dainty as ever in this one regard.
"Anyways, I've contemplated what makes a good leader." She grimaced as she tried to focus her thoughts. "It seems paradoxical... I like that word... anyways, that people who seek the throne are often... well, they're driven, ambitious, often selfish, but, but what about people who are gentle-hearted and actually care? There's, there's a complex mix of attributes that make one a good leader. And... and it seems like... Does this make sense? Sometimes I feel the best leaders are the ones who wouldn't seek the throne, and yet... I'm not sure that's true either. Ambition is positive energy, light energy, the power to effect change... I think the Katashimans call it chi. That power one projects that drives one into that position is an important part of leadership. It's... it's a paradox that I believe makes very good leaders quite rare."

Jun was babbling on and on now, and Camilla wanted to put her hand over her mouth and shush her just for a minute because of how fast she seemed to be speaking. Even so, Camilla was still amused at the situation. The wench came back with two bowls of stew, one for Camilla and one for Jun. The cup of water was set on the table but not switched out with the alcohol. A plate with a few small loves of bread was set between the two of them.
"Eat," said the former princess, gesturing to the bowl. "Drink some water."
And then after giving Jun a chance to reply, she said, "And what category do you put me in?" She had a lopsided grin on her face about that, knowing she was about to open up the floodgates of words again. Anything to help sober her up, right?

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

"Yesh your mashesty."
Jun reached for the cup of water, but then Blackbean went for it. She pulled the drink away and scolded sharply, "No, mine first."
She gulped exactly 9/10ths of the water cup in 7 seconds. Then she placed it back down for Blackbean to take the rest.
"Your duty is to your family. You should be allowed to have a family. I think you would have made a great queen because you have chosen not to be. You are not too meek and assertive for the throne. And you know what you want. The paradox is that indecision and temptation for power would have made you a poorer queen. You're one of the better paradoxes. I like you." *Hiccup*
Jun started to go into the stew. "See I'd make a terrible queen. I'm far too emotional for it. My father's hinted that he wants me to run for clan elder someday. But that's be a terrible decision. I'd do an excellent job for a month and then burn myself out and fall ill. A leader should be stoic and dignified, and know restraint. I'd die for my people in a heartbeat. Ironically that's kind of the problem."
Blackbean's beak made little click clack noises against the water cup in the background.

"I have to disagree. I would make a terrible queen," she said without batting an eye. "I am too emotional and I singlehandedly started a war." She wasn't upset when she said it, she made it sound matter of fact though. "I made some horrible choices that lead to a lot of death including my first husband." She wasn't eating any of her stew yet, for it was scalding still.
"You might make a better queen than you think you would except we would need to keep you out of your cups. You tend to talk a lot when you are drunk, do you know that?"
She watched the bird for a moment and then shook her head in bemusement. "I could have gottena cup of water just for the bird, you know?"

It could only be described as a strut, the way Felix walked to the bar. Flinging the door shut behind himself without a glance, long strides, rolling shoulders, the man walked with a sickly self confidence. It was almost as if his step had been practiced to make the coin pouch on his side clatter with his arrival. Tattered brown cloak had been tucked beneath his sword, displaying the weapon almost as in challenge.
Only mildly concealed by the rouges pomp and bluster could be felt an ominous presence. To most it might seem to be the unease of an unsavory individual, but those versed in magic would sense the signs of some vile enchantment.
At the bar the man held a golden coin up to the light. He smirked at the dirt and stubble on his face, reflected from the coin. Soon that would be gone, “I have traveled far from the east,” He told the barkeep before blowing a bit of sand off the coin, “Keep the brown stuff flowing. I’ll be needing a room as well, and a bowl of whatever that is I am smelling.” He clacked the coin on the bar before casting his gaze towards the rest of the room.

As a storm dragon, his hide and flesh can generate an electric charge passively when threatened, much like an eel, and can naturally and instantly release it upon being touched by a foreign organism or object.
As a human he takes the appearance of a man in the age range of forties to fifties, averagely built besides being a few inches taller than the average Joe and dressed in clean leather armor and worn blue cloths.
Clothes and Equipment: Two small leather pouches tucked under wings
He owns his father's ancestral unique magical scale mail. It is enchanted to break on impact and the shards return his body and reform into a different piece of armor until it is struck, then it repeats the steps.
A set of personal shoulder pads forged by Brock the forge master. It focuses the passive electricity in his hide into a beam of magic energy which blasts away targets.
Weaponry: Claws, Breath Attack (Lightning), and Bite
Treasure Hoarding: Minimal, mainly gems sometimes gold.
While as a human, he wields a magical long-sword, not much is known about his weapon, as he rarely uses it.

An old hooded gentleman of familiar posture to Camilla and Jun would gently make his way inside the tavern. An old faded blue cloak covered his figure, the edges of the cloth garment fraying from use, however it was perfectly clean despite the wear. Beneath the cloak, one might spot the handle to his hand-and-a-half sword, and the more magically inclined might sense that this man was certainly a magic user.
Immediately after closing the door nicely behind him, the hooded gaze falling upon the two ladies. He lowers the hood, the blue dragon underneath.
"My, my it's been a while." He smiles at the reunion.

"S-s-s-see that could be a problem because if some dashing young ambassador from a far off land tries to offer me wine as a gift I'll have to decline! And what if I needed to lead a band of rugged roguish mercenaries into battle? If they found out I can't handle a pint of mead I'll be a laughing stock! Queen Jun, feller of monsters, felled by a shot of whiskey! And the fact that I talk too much is even worse. A state secret for every mug of ale, they'll say oh god I'm talking too much right now aren't I?"
The hairs on the back of her head rose. She sensed not one, but two ominous presences enter the tavern. Her head slid towards the side and locked into place a few degrees shy of Felix's general direction, but she was too lazy to crane her head all the way to make actual eye contact, so Felix might not notice that his dark nature had been detected. Truthfully this probably worked out in their favor. She turned back to Camilla and whispered. "There's someone dark and spooky here."
Then she focused on the second presence. It wasn't vile, but rather arrogant, haughty, and considerably powerful. It made her crack a devilish sneer. She said to Camilla, somewhat more audibly, "There's someone else obnoxious here."
"Wux deevdru di vi riika, how the hell have you been?" She swung her hand over to Jarkoopi in a dramatic gesture. This could be interpreted as either a request for a hardy handshake, or a hug.
It should be noted that at this time there were still many scrolls laid out across the table with spells named after her past allies, including "Jarkoopi's Talon."
