Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Had he known her thoughts Owain probably would have laughed. His hands had grown softer over the past two or so years, but not because he did not know how to wield a sword. Rather he had been called to use his wits for the good of the realm, to represent the interests of the Moonshaes in the Kingdom of Tethyr . Though he had aided the kingdom on several occasions, most notably against a pirate band from the Nelanther Isles as well as a marauding group of ogres that had come down from the Snowflake Mountains . The deeds were not the most heroic, nor were great tales told at least, not often about the prince from the isles beyond the sea. But Owain was respected as a man who could hold his own in a fight. His wife to be would likely learn that soon enough. But Owain's mind was more on the moment and the permission that Renner had just granted him to take Glinde and speak with her for a time. Thank you King Renner, he murmured politely, then turned back to Glinde, flashing her a small smile. He had offered her his arm then, but the Northlander seemed more intent on escaping the courtyard. So Owain lead her off towards the 'wood' that his mother kept within the castle grounds. As they moved under the oaks, apple and cherry trees amongst others, his bride to be asked if he thought she looked like a princess. Owain smiled, then shrugged, You are very beautiful. More that I had anticipated or could have hoped for really. Looking over at her he went on, But you have an air about you that is not soft like most princesses I have known. I suppose I called you that because it is your birthright more than anything. When she brought up his parents though, a chuckle escaped him. I can imagine that my mother is annoyed. But she has always been one for rules and decorum, he stated softly, then shrugged before he went on, But father won't mind so much. Glancing over at her he took in her appearance, then commented, I am my own person. Yes, I agreed to this because they asked me too, but I will still be myself. So he smiled wider when she asked why he had wanted to talk to her, and of course noticed how she had emphasized prince. Please, call me Owain, he corrected her. Still with his gaze locked on her he went on, And I wanted to just talk to you I suppose. It just seemed cold to me to bring two people together and wed them with them not knowing each other. We have both done this for reason larger than ourselves I suspect so... He let out a small sigh then and murmured, I just want you to know that if anyone will know how you feel about this, it will probably be me. It seems like we will be spending quite a bit of time together Glinde and I think it will be easier on us both if we can, at least, talk to each other.

Glinde laughed at Owain's admission that he hadn't hoped much for her in the way of physical beauty. What did you hear? she asked with a smile. I enjoy hearing rumors about me, especially outside my own people. Am I a snaggle-toothed, monobrowed hag? Oooorrr am I fat, short, and hunch-backed with foul breath? Bearded like my brothers and father? She shook her head. She knew what people said about her, including most of the ugliest rumors, and it amused her to watch the expressions of those who believed them when she showed up in person. Then he admitted that she didn't have an air about her like most princesses. That would be because I'm not soft like most princesses. Most people call me Lady, if they call me anything at all. Glinde shrugged as she searched for the correct term. My father is more like what you might call a high chieftain. We're not a soft folk we don't abide by the niceties and manners your family might. There's not often call for manners on the battlefield. Owain led her into the trees and she silently prayed to the gods that he wasn't going to try and kiss her or any sort of romantic glop. Certainly she had a soft spot for a bit of romance, but it was typically hidden very deep down and not allowed to emerge. Glinde had been careful not to attach herself to anyone, lest she or they fall in battle, and to keep things less complicated while she was away. Her eyebrows raised mildly when he stated that he simply wanted to talk to her, to get to know her. She respected honesty and frankness. Well then, she said, leaning back on her heels. Let's talk. I didn't expect you to want to get to know me in the-- she glanced up at the sun, --three hours we have, but it's a pleasant surprise. I suppose the most important thing you should know about me, Owain, is that I'm not fond of men. As a gender, I mean. Glinde looked him in the eye and was unabashed about her admission. I'll drink with them, I'll fight by their sides, I'll laugh with them, but I don't share their beds. I realize we're meant to produce an heir, so I suggest at some point we work out some sort of arrangement. She rolled her shoulders back, disliking even the thought but resigned to it, at least until she had a child. Another unpleasant aspect. I would like to be friends, Owain...but my respect and friendship must be earned.

The prince arched an eyebrow as the shieldmaiden laughed. What was that about? But when she asked him about what rumors he might have heard, the laughter made more sense. But her wanting to know about it... well that seemed a bit odd to him. Oh, well.... he started, then just looked at her for a moment. You really want to know? he asked her, then shrugged. Letting out a soft sigh, Owain then said to her, None of those really. Most of the rumors I had been quashing lately stemmed from the announcement that was read to the people. Your father had sent a missive in which you were called a fair maiden... and many were calling that into question. When the subject changed to what she and he father were called, he grunted a bit. Well, I will just address you as Glinde if you do not mind, he murmured, smiling a bit. As she descried her people he nodded slightly, then said to her, Your people are not the only ones who have known conflict. But I suppose that the Ffolk do not seek it out as much. As they made their way through the trees the man could not help but feel a bit more comfortable. He had always found the areas beyond the confines of cities to be more tranquil. So walking through the 'wood' was helping to quiet his mind. As they walked his mind did turn to thoughts that some might consider romantic, wondering how she would respond to his advances. But as she paused and spoke frankly, those thoughts drifted out of his mind. Owain listened quietly for awhile, then grunted and nodded. Well, that is... not something that I expected, the man commented softly. He had thought that she might object to things... but this? Owain looked at her, then smiled a bit and stated, There could be worse things I suppose. But it seems that we do have somewhere to start earning your respect. Owain then asked, So... what might that entail in your mind?
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Owain arched an eyebrow as she said that she was not sensitive. Nodding a bit the man then said to her, Well we will not be enemies anymore now. I have made it clear to many that I won't have them speaking ill of my wife... or wife to e as the case was. The prince shrugged a bit before he went on, Well let us not worry about it. You seem more amused about it than anything. So having said that he let the subject drop and just chuckled a bit, shaking his head. One positive thing about Glinde so far, beyond her lovely appearance, seemed to be that she had a rather thick skin, which he liked. As the conversation turned to her inclinations, Owain smiled as he said to her softly, Well what is the point with being upset? We have just met and well... you are who you are. But his mind was swimming over the possibilities and the issues that this would bring up. His own religious and philosophical beliefs lead him to be accepting of all manner of things. After all, what was the point of She was right, they would have to come to some type of arrangement. So when she commented that he would not have to stay faithful he grunted. Well, that is good I suppose, Owain commented before he went on, But there will still be the matter of heirs, like you said. We can discuss that later though. He could not help but wonder, again, if the gods had thought this was funny. Glinde did not seem as insufferable as he thought she might be. But he was starting to think that there might be other issues... like what she respected men for. He grunted a bit, then said to her, Well, seems like we will have a fair bit to do after we have wed. The prince looked over at the blonde woman as he went on, Although I will not be starting a war for you, I had actually arranged for us to go to my family's hunting lodge tomorrow. With his gaze on her, a small smirk formed on his lips as he murmured, Though you are rather wrong on one count... he moved a bit closer and asked, We still have three hours. So shall we bond a bit?
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Glinde was beginning to like him a little bit. Owain was friendly to her and while in her culture that might get a man laughed at for being weak she didn't mind it so much. It was strange to be around a man who wasn't gruff and surly until she got to know him better, but it was a decent kind of strange, one she thought she could live with. She knew that she would just have to keep her own cultural insensitivities in check they would be stuck with one another for the rest of their lives, and if they were to at least be friends it wouldn't do to hurt his feelings by poking fun at him for not killing things on sight. She nodded when he suggested they discuss the production of heirs later. She had heard that there were certain times of the month in which a woman was more likely to get pregnant, but she hadn't the faintest idea of when that might be. Oh we've got our work cut out for us, she agreed. We've got a lot of work to do after we wed, but if I can be frank you aren't quite the simpering, weak-wristed prince I had expected to meet. It's a pleasant surprise. He murmured something about her being wrong on one count and Glinde raised her eyebrows, glancing at him and smiling. So debauchery was still on the table. Perhaps they would have a decently happy marriage after all. Hunting sounds like something we would both enjoy, she responded with a note of approval in her tone. How is it your people hunt, then? I imagine our methods may be quite different. Or would you rather bond over something else?
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Aye, we do, Owain echoed in agreement of his own. But I have heard and seen that all marriages take work. Our will just be a bit.. different... I suppose. Before he had viewed it as simply being a duty and had only hoped that he would get some pleasure from it. When he had first seen her, he thought that perhaps there could be some magnetism between them. But now... well now he was hoping for them to at least be able to stand each other. Considering how the conversation had gone so Owain was thinking that they would at least be able to be amicable with one another. Better than he had feared, worse than he had hoped. So when she commented that he was not a simpering and weak-wristed prince, Owain had to have himself a laugh. His eyebrows rose a bit as he asked her, Did you think that the sword was just for show? Well, it is partially, considering it plays a part in the ceremony later, but I do actually know how to use it. Shrugging slightly he admitted then, I might not have faced any Northmen, but I think that even the strongest of you pales in comparison to ogres and trolls. He noticed how she arched an eyebrow and glanced at him, which made him smile in kind. She might not like men, but Owain could not help but think that she looked very striking indeed when she smiled. A small chuckle escaped him when she mentioned hunting as being something they could both enjoy. The man then commented, Well, I am quite fond of does I must admit. And it seems that we share that inclination. So yes... hunting together... that could be quite fun indeed. The prince fell silent then, curious to see if she would pick up on his not too veiled innuendo.
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Glinde fixed him with a 'look' when he insisted that even their strongest warriors paled compared to other monsters. Trolls do present a problem sometimes, she acquiesced, but that alone makes it clear you've never faced my people. We've driven ogres back from our lands a number of times. And yes, I did think the sword was somewhat for show. I'm not overly fond of swords they break easily against armor and bone. Most of my people prefer hammers and axes. She had bristled at her people being called, essentially, inept against some of the larger monsters that threatened to take over their lands. It was a grave insult to a Northman's honor to suggest that he would be unable to defeat any foe, but perhaps he didn't know any better. She'd give him a pass...this time. The topic turned to hunting, however, and she let the insult drop. Owain smiled back at her and Glinde felt a little more at ease, particularly when he made his own innuendo. I'm immensely fond of does, she agreed, though I would never begrudge you spearing yourself a buck, if you had such an inclination I hold no grudges. The playful innuendo was amusing. Perhaps they'd get along well after all. I think perhaps through hunting we may find more in common than we first thought.

It seems that I have erred in some way, Owain commented softly, noting the change in her tone and disposition. That look she had shot his way was more than enough to illustrate her intent. The prince considered for a moment, wanting to be careful with his words. Finally he spoke, his words measured and thought out, I had been speaking of strength only in the raw, physical sense. I know the history between our peoples is one of violence, one of death on both sides. I do not wish you and I to embody that history. The prince then did something odd and inclined his head to her slightly, apologizing, Forgive me for any insult Glinde. It was not my internet. When the subject moved on to weapons he grunted softly. A sword can be quite versatile I have found. But we all have out own preferences. Personally I like my blade in one hand so that I can work a spell in the other, he told her, a mischievous smile on his lips. Say what you want about swords, it is hard to argue against a cone of fire.. A slight shrug was his initial answer to Glinde's own innuendo. Shaking his head, Owain replied, Thank you for that allowance, but I prefer the does. Far more... tender. Smirking a bit he looked at her and admitted, Now I'm very much wishing that we had time for a... hunt... of our own. I am sure that you have some Nothlander techniques I could learn from. Moving over to stand before her he locked eyes with her and grinned as he said to her, But I am no soft prince. I think that you would be surprised to see what I can do with my spear.
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Glinde had accepted his apology with a grunt and a nod. They had been getting along rather well and didn't wish to sully the mood any further. She still didn't like swords, though, regardless of how versatile he found them. She stopped when Owain moved in front of her and grinned. Glinde smiled back and stepped around him. I'm interested to see how the does find your spear, she said, as it's all in the way you use it to achieve your goal. I can appreciate a man who can use his spear to successfully take down a doe. But you're right, there are a good many techniques I could teach you. She glanced sideways at him and smiled before glancing at the sun again. Oh three hours is more than plenty of time for a hunt of our own, I should say, she commented off-handedly. I know where we could find a doe to hunt, if you don't have any roaming the castle grounds. You ah... have hunted before, have you not? Their planned debauchery might take a bit of an awkward turn if he were a virgin, after all. But on the other hand, if he were then she could teach him, train him, groom him. A win-win, she figured.

As she stepped around him, Owain could not help but chuckle a little bit. She really was a bit of a feisty one it seemed. But he shifted once again to move along beside her and continue the stroll through the grove. He listened as she spoke of how a man could use his spear, which made him smile once more. However it was when she mentioned the techniques that he had to comment, Well I do not depend solely on my spear, let me assure you. I have other skills to use in a hunt that does tend to find quite... enjoyable. When Glinde mentioned a hunt of their own though, he looked over at her, his eyebrows rising. You wish to hunt? Now? he asked with a bit of surprise. Owain was silent for a moment, then started to laugh a bit and shook his head. Well you do have quite an interesting attitude about hunting , he found himself saying, then glanced over at her to add, Can't say I find fault in it. He had always had a more liberal view on sexual matters than many of the Ffolk, though his people were not nearly as conservative as some were on the mainland. And don't you worry yourself, I've hunted plenty of times. They came to the other end of the 'wood' and he considered for a moment. Well, I know of a doe or two who might be willing to help us. Though I am fairly curious to see what you enjoy to hunt. Perhaps we should flip a coin to decide who's doe we chase down?
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Glinde laughed at Owain's question. You're the one who said you wished we had the time, she pointed out. All I'm saying is that unless you're doing it on purpose, taking three hours to bring a doe to release--of death--generally means there's something wrong. As a hunter, anyway. As for the sport itself I've always been of the opinion that it's good for the spirit and ought to be done as often as possible. And one must hunt all sorts of game variety is the spice of life, after all. She was relieved when he assured her this wouldn't be his first time. A virgin to train would have been nice, but probably a bit tedious. With women, at least, she'd found that the more experience they had the better the sex was. She tilted her chin and looked at him sideways approvingly when he said he didn't find anything wrong with her appetites. She'd expected him to be prudish when it came to carnal desires, and maybe the rest of his people were, but at least she was starting to feel like she would have basically free reign with Owain. She followed him to the other end of the grove of trees and watched his expression when he stopped. Oh mine may be well tired out, Glinde admitted with a smirk. Though absolutely willing if you're unable to track down a few for us.

The prince could not help but chuckle a bit and shake his head as Glinde spoke. She had a point, he had said that he wished that they would have time. Oh, but what is wrong with savoring the hunt? Surely you enjoy bringing a doe to her fall over and over, just as I do, Owain retorted, smiling warmly all the while. But it was her insistence that variety was the spice of life that made him arch an eyebrow. Looking over at her he said in an even, diplomatic tone, Well now you are going back on what you said earlier it seems. You prefer variety, but only enjoy does? It seems that you have missed quite a bit that life has to offer you, from where I am standing. As they paused at the grove's edge and she made the point about her doe, he found a smile on his lips again. Worn her out already? Well my wife to be, I should be mad that you have partaken without me, he jested a bit. If I were an angrier man, I might give your ass some well deserved spankings. He paused then and took a step back, looking at her butt for a moment before he murmured, Though might have to give it a few just for fun... After that he walked past her, winking as he told her, Come on. I know where we can find a doe for our sport. Without waiting for her, Owain lead the way, assuming that she would follow along. Owain lead the way through the castle's outer wards, knowing the vast complex quite well. But before long he had her walking along one of the outer walls and paused. Towards the end of the wall there was a small tower that was quite open on all the sides. Standing on a balcony was a young woman , gorgeous and certainly not of native stock. That is Dua. She is the daughter and apprentice of our falconer. They are Calishites, making her a rare done indeed, he commented. Glancing over at his wife to be he smirked and added, And also far more... liberal... than many of the Ffolk lasses.
Thread: The Bear and the Maiden Fair - A Forgotten Realms adventure (Rivine x Madam Mim)

Nothing wrong with savoring it, Glinde agreed, inclining her head. Like I said, there's only something wrong if you're taking three hours on purpose. And I do prefer a variety, she added. Does come in many sizes and with many different markings. She arched an eyebrow and looked sideways at him, knowing exactly what he was suggesting. Already she was going to have to sleep with him to produce an heir, wasn't that enough? The look on her face clearly indicated that he oughtn't push the point. The proud shield maiden already had to sleep with him, there was no sense in adding insult to injury or trying to convince her to like it. Her eyebrows raised higher when Owain commented he ought to spank her. You may try, she said slowly. It would be amusing to see your attempts, anyway. She's my doe, after all, and we weren't even on Moonshae shores yet. Let us be clear about one thing, Owain, lest it cause problems unless I say so, what's mine is not automatically yours. It was a marked turn in the tone of their conversation, and really Glinde did want to get along with him and save the afternoon. After all, she'd shared a bed with as many as six women at a time but never a man. But Owain was pushing boundaries to see where she stood, and she had to show him where those boundaries were. Regardless of how she viewed other women--silly and easily seduced, really--Glinde was no one's property and would not bend to someone's will just on the basis of being her husband. The Northfolk were raised better than that, Glinde especially. Renner had made no difference in raising his daughter versus his sons he wouldn't permit his eldest to submit to another baselessly and so his youngest wouldn't, either. Owain lead the way across the grounds to one of the outer walls. Glinde followed his gaze up to a small, open tower and smirked. Aye, I've heard the Calishites were dusky and fair, but never have I seen them with my own eyes. Her eyes roamed Dua's form none too chastely...or subtly. So! Do you mean to corner her here in the open, or do you prefer a more ah, private hunt? Glinde looked over at her soon-to-be husband, serious for a moment. I do have one rule she says no, we leave her alone and find someone else, no questions. That is what separates my people from barbarous heathens and I intend to keep it that way.
