Lacryma Christi, a legendary wine. It is said that when Lucifer was cast from heaven, he grasped a piece of paradise and carried it with him as he fell, dropping it on the coast of Italy at the foot of Vesuvius, where it framed the bay of Naples. It is from this vineyard that this marvelous drink has been produced for centuries.
"How I have missed this so!" Lorien Mused as he filled his glass.
Placing the lip of the glass beneath his trained nose, he remembered the sharp, yet pleasant aroma as it filled his senses. He sipped the garnet "tears of Christ" as he thought over the latest events in his relatively successful lifetime.
The trial was a success! Though, he'd been mislead by his new allies at first, he had proven himself to be loyal, both to his friends and his ideals. a welcome change from his past reputation. Doubtless there may be those who know of his past, but he repaid his debt with his own life. No longer was he a marked man. It is this life in which Lorien had determined to reclaim his honor. Now, with redemption so close, could he think of loving again? Ghostclaw had left him. Wordlessly, she slipped off into the night. He thought he had loved her, but then... why was he neither surprised, nor heartbroken at her departure? Perhaps he was maturing, or perhaps he realized the futility of it all. She should live her life anew as a fae. It's too early for her yet to make oaths.
"Ah, Aoife..." How long ago had he last combed his fingers through her scarlet hair? How long ago had he last tasted her flesh, felt her warm embrace, and heard her breathless sigh? Hundreds of years? Thousands? If only she had not turned on him, forced him to succumb to her, to abandon his brothers. Why, oh why had he betrayed them..? Thinking on it, he had always been weak around women.
"神是有缺陷的" (Even gods are flawed)
Even now, there are two women who hold much influence over Lorien. The first, by duty. Raine, who he had spoken with regarding knighthood, has been discovered to have a former allegiance with none other thanthe marquis, Saevel, who she has put up many efforts to avoid. He, however, seems unaware of the bond between them. Who knows but him, really? Nevertheless, it seems if something is to be done, Lorien would have to confront the marquis sooner or later. a fight would certainly be interesting. Besides, one does not attain status from fighting on a physical battlefield. it takes strength of will. He might have a chance if...
"oh, but what am I to do about her?"
Yes, "her" Cora had taken up plenty of his thoughts. More often, it seems, she'd been sneaking in and helping herself to his home. Of course, he had offered. He supposed she thought herself a deviant. Well, he'd hold off on putting up the wards until she'd had her fun, at least. He quite enjoyed her company, actually. Even in the mornings, before he'd dressed. and now, he'd managed to snag a date with the devious one. The blue-crested beauty actually accepted his offer.
"Oh, I expect it'll be interesting, at the least."
Yes, so many things, now, to look forward to. How this life has changed him. perhaps he'll try...
"Oh! Won't this be fun!"
