Wrynne sat sprawled out across her bed one leg straight out the other bent and standing up right. Her head was propped up by no less than three pillows, on the bed side table was an open bottle of wine next to that a small stone with a rune on it played a simple melody from a flute. The mage flipped through her spell book while sipping from the glass of wine she held in her other hand. Despite the fact that she was in her underwear Wrynne was among the more classy women you might meet besides it was fancy panties and they matched the bra, both articles were black with little red bows at the center. The lack of dress was meant to state the need for privacy which Wrynne was enjoying to the fullest that is until her door was flung open and an orc and two trolls burst through. The three had been laughing but stopped abruptly not sure what to do, an awkward silence issued as Wrynne stared at the horde warriors. The silence was broken when Wrynne closed her spell book "honestly gentlemen its to late for this kind of thing" she said with a sigh. Joric was about to walk into the inn when he was nearly trampled by fleeing trolls, Joric stared at them as they ran screaming across the docks before jumping into the sea. He turned back around just in time to be laid out by an orc running in the same direction as the trolls though the orc's pants were on fire. 'Ow' Joric thought ' why the hell did they do that.. wait I feel like some one is watching me' Joric looked up to see a human looking down at him 'oh great perception you fool' he thought as he mentally kicked himself.
Wrynne poured the blood elf man a glass of wine as she offered him an ice pack for the knot on his head. "So Joric SunBlade I presume" Wrynne stated once she situated herself into a chair across from him. "That is correct, would I be correct in presuming that you are Wrynne StarDancer" said Joric, "I am she" Wrynne stated with a smile. "Well I was sent to escort you to SilverMoon, but of course you alliance types have to make everything harder and drag us out to the farthest tip of the Eastern Kingdom so that we have to turn around and go back to the farthest point in the Eastern Kingdom" Joric stated the annoyance that he found in this task evident in his voice. "Don't be so down just means we have a long boat ride ahead of us where we can get to know each other before we get down to business" Wrynne said charmingly as she patted his hand, Joric found himself smiling he could see why she had become a diplomat her voice made her hard to ignore, it was steady but not monotone as it did rise or lower in pitch to add inflection to different words, it wasn't to high pitch that it might hurt his ears but it wasn't to low that she didn't sound feminine. All and all it was a perfect voice how he loved the way it said his name, in fact he could imagine it now, ringing in his ears it had a questioning tone to it. Wrynne stared at the blood elven man whos mind seemed to have drifted off somewhere, Wrynne sighed and snapped her fingers repeatedly in front of his face "Joric hey Joric you there" this seemed to snap him out of his trance "huh?, oh yeah I was...thinking" Joric said dreamily. "Right well, early start in the morning good night" Wrynne said as she stood to leave, Joric stood and bowed slightly "of course, a good night to you as well milady", Wrynne returned the bow and went upstairs. Joric remained behind to finish his glass of wine before heading off to bed himself.
Wrynne had packed her things and had just put on her armor when there was a knock at her door, it was the innkeeper, "yes" Wrynne answered "yeah so your elf pal told me to tell you that he'll be at the docks..so yeah" the goblin mumbled honestly not caring one way or the other. Wrynne thanked the goblin and hurried out the inn. He stood near the boat, his foot tapping repeatedly while looking at his wrist, he wasn't sure why he was looking at his wrist "Joric, I'm sorry to keep you waiting" he heard in that same voice he smiled as he looked up. His eyes widened, he could tell from the moment he met her that she was a mage the way arcane magic flowed off of her stated that so when she walked up to him he expected a robe of some sort. That wasn't the case she instead wore a vest it was red and orange and he believed it was cindercloth, it was the leggings of the same material that had him staring they were basicly stockings and underwear. He just stared for awhile trying to find the words "I know I know but this is the sort of armor I wear your the first person to give me that reaction" Wrynne said with a hint of worry "oh okay it just surprised me is all" Joric said "so there's no problem" Wrynne asked "of course not milady" Joric added as he offered his arm to Wrynne, who took it. The two walked up the ramp onto the ship as the goblins loaded their luggage. Wrynne and Joric stood at the port side of the ship when they were addressed by a human man, "ah your Ambassador Bureth it is an honor to meet you sir" Joric said to the man "and your Joric SunBlade the honor is truly mine, I am ecstatic to meet a fellow brother of the light as prestigious as you" Bureth said with a bow. Wrynne hadn't known he was a paladin, he wasn't even blond, Bureth was blond though it was more gray than blond do to age but he did look the part. The three eventually settled in the main room of the ship as the day dragged on, Wrynne sat and listened to the two paladins as they chatted on and on about different philosophies, Wrynne giggled and the two men looked at her "the two of you talk like old souls, as for me its getting late, I'm retiring for tonight see you both in the morning. She bowed respectfully as the others bid her a goodnight and she walked below the deck to her room.
Wrynne stretched lazily in her bed yawning she stood and walked to a wardrobe and removed a dress from it she slipped on the dress brushed her hair and stepped out of her room. Wrynne entered the main room once more, sitting in the same places they had the night before were the paladins if it wasn't for the fact the they had on different clothes she might have thought that they were there all night. Bureth had on a simple gray shirt and tanish brown britches, Joric wore a red shirt decorated with vertical bands of black and gold his britches were blue and he had on knee-high boots. Wrynne took a seat between them as servers came with bowls of hot grits, Wrynne liked grits she was reminded of her childhood when she didn't have much to eat as magic couldn't manifest money and the food it did manifest didn't always cut it, even if there was very little food there was always grits, the same could likely be said about Bureth as he ate with no complaint as for Joric he had almost a comical look of confusion obviously blood elves didn't eat grits. After they finished breakfast they chatted about various ambassadorial subjects, as Wrynne was speaking of some prospects of the Alliance when there was a loud boom of thunder. The Three ran to the deck of the ship, one of the goblins stopped them "calm down now its just a little storm cloud its nothing to worry about we'll be passing through it but we handle these kinda things all the time you all stay below deck" seeing as there was nothing they could do they headed back to their rooms to wait out the storm.
Wrynne heard a knock at her door "come in" she said, Joric stepped in closing the door behind him, "bored?" she asked "yah" he answered, "I can't find my sword either I was going to sharpen it but its missing from its wrack". The ship swayed to the right and creaked ominously, they both looked at one another "well they said they could handle it right" Joric said giving her a half smile. Wrynne offers for Joric to sit next to her on the bed he does, "so, like you said its a long boat ride until we reach Eversong we might as well get to know one another" Joric said giving Wrynne a childish smile "okay I know, there was a game we'd play when I met some one new I would tell them something about myself then they would have to tell me something about them and we'd go back and forth" Wrynne said returning the smile. "Okay lets see, I hate warm milk" Wrynne said, Joric stared at her "what that was the first thing you came up with, 'sigh', alright equally as ridicules I'm horrified of rabbits" he said that last sentence as completely straight-faced as possible and Wrynne still laughed "oh light really ..fluffy little bunnies" Wrynne managed through fits of laughter "yes yes my father got me one for my birthday and it bit me I was never the same after that" Joric grumbled. The two chatted for sometime finding they had much in common, Joric had eventually gone to the main sitting room and fetched a few bottles of wine as it was after five o'clock and no one could hold it against them to drink. Wrynne lay on her back and laughed at a joke Joric told, Joric was on his side with an arm propping up his head it was then that hell broke loose, there was a loud cracking sound and a well defined swoool noise as water poured down the steps and under Wrynne's door. Joric bolted up right jumping to the door and running through the moment it was open, Wrynne was close behind him. They ran up the stairs and into the sitting room Joric grabbed the bar that was a hand rail to the stairs, in the same instant he grabbed Wrynne's arm as the ship tilted upward. The ship continued up until Joric was literally hanging on to the rail to not fall he heard Wrynne gasp, he looked down at her, his heart broke from the fear radiating from her brown eyes. Suddenly all at once there stomachs did flip-flops as the ship could go no farther up and began its quick desent down again, when the ship hit its stern at the base of the wave Wrynne and Joric were thrown clear to the deck. Goblins picked themselves up and began running about to secure the ship as waves hammered the port and starboard sides and vicious winds tore at the sails. Wrynne struggled to get up, kneeling on her hands and knees she gently shook Joric who was laying limbly on his side, he did not stir she shook him harder and called his name, still he did not move as goblins scurried around them, Wrynne's panic rose, she grabbed the front of his shirt begging him to wake but he did not she slammed her head down on his chest sobbing his name helplessly into his shirt. A hand was placed on her head she looked up to see Joric's fel green eyes staring back at her , he gave her a tired smiled as he began to sit up. Joric leaned up into a sitting position Wrynne's hands still on his chest their eyes met once more as chaos whirled about them, suddenly there was a blinding flash and an ear-splitting cracking sound. They whirled their heads in the direction of the sound just in time to see the mast splinter and fall toward them, Joric shoved Wrynne hard knocking the wind out of her and sending her tumbling across the deck she looked back a moment after the mast landed smashing through the deck. Catching her breath Wrynne screamed for Joric her words lost in the smashing thunder that had followed the lightning she screamed for him again, she saw him stand and shout a reply he held his arm blood flowing down it freely. She ran into the main sitting room Joric joining her as he walked through the other door, she quickly led him down the stairs having to stop once to avoid falling as the ship was buffeted by another wave, she dragged him into her room and had him lie down as she rummaged through her bag. A moment later Wrynne withdrew a roll of bandages and went to work on his arm, after removing splintered wood and wrapping it she lay next to him her head on his chest and one hand across it clutching the front of his shirt neither of them said anything they just stayed like that until the ship began to still.
The storm faded and the ship evened out, Wrynne and Joric still lay there in the same position as before a certain peace drifted about the room their even breathing, their half-lidded sleepy eyes, their hair mixed about his dark brown tangled in with her lighter brown. There was a knock and a goblin entered the room "hey you two alright" the goblin asked, Joric and Wrynne sat up "ya" Joric said "is the ship alright" "nah we're almost dead in the water, but we managed to get to Menethil Harbor we're almost to the dock should be about ten minutes" the goblin stated. Another goblin walked up behind his captain and whispered something almost in audible, the captain sigh "we'll let the alliance here take care of that, Joric and Wrynne looked at one another. The goblin captain clapped his hands together once "okay lets get above deck we'll be docking soon, Joric and Wrynne stood on the deck as the ship was maneuvered into position, as Wrynne looked around the deck her blood ran cold 'where was Bureth'. She moved almost in a trance as she headed toward the main room on board the ship Joric noticed her absence scanning the deck he saw her slip into the sitting room he followed behind her. As he entered the room he saw her slink down the stairs he called to her but she did not answer he began to follow her again he leapt down the stairs to catch up with Wrynne, she was at the end of the hall standing at Bureth's door. He was about to speak as he came to stand beside her when it suddenly hit him he looked at her his eyes wide "I didn't see him either" he said his voice barely above a whisper as he reached for the handle. Joric had barely touched the handle and the door began to creak open with an ill creaking sound, Joric gasped and Wrynne screamed burying her face into his chest, one of his hands went to her back to hold her as she sobbed. His face was pale "thats...thats my sword" he said , Wrynne looked back into the room at the horrible sight of Bureth lying sprawled out across the bed with a sword plunged into his chest.
