Karen nods to Ciel and she disappears into the kitchen to get more. She shadows back out with three more and distributes them.
Karen takes a huge pull and sits back, legs out in front of her, ankles crossed. "That be damned good Grog fellows. But what else can ye think of that we need?" There's a glitter in her eye as though she already has the answer, she's just waiting for the word to release hell.

Karl laughs, "Like what? Straight pins for pin the tail on the rachet?" He snickers more. Thane shakes his head no, "Eats would be the appropriate complement to the grog, red meat or something equally rare and bloody."

Karen smiled as she shook her head. "These treats are rather sweet, Thane. But they're definitely not for eating the way you think." Saying this, she snapped her fingers and wenches began to come in the door. All shapes and sizes of woman were walking in the door and they were all in varying shades of outfits.
Karen nodded to Ciel who snapped them all to attention as they watched her she turned to them all and gave them instructions. Ciel put on the music and all at once, the girls began to dance, Ciel at their lead. Leaning over to Karl, Karen said, "I meant we were missing entertainment boyo."

Karl looks surprised by the dancing ladies and he smiles as he takes a seat next to Karen. "Wohooo bring on the honeys!" he bellows. "This should be very entertaining!" He says with glee. Thane looks bent at no food but he slouches next to Karl and nurses his grog peering over his cup hungrily at the new arrivals.

Karen smiles and sits back to relax. "Pick any girl you like Thane. She'll give you for free what Karl here was going to pay for you to get. I can promise you that. And she'll probably be the best you'll ever find."
Ciel, on the other hand, was dancing and rolling her body with great abandon. She was enjoying playing off of the other girls, and she hadn't danced in a long enough time to want to just dance and forget everything else.
Karen sipped her grog and said to Karl, while keeping an eye on the girls, "Do you need another?"

Karl smiles as the frothy brew is tasting mighty good. "I'm good for now, thank you." He listens to Karen offer Thane his pick his smile quickly fades and he looks very worried. "Oh, I don't think that would be wise to give Thane his pick of these pretty ladies." Karl says with a grimace. "He will most likely mistake your gesture... he prefers humans barbecued ya know?"

Karen nods and chuckles. "Oops. I had almost forgotten that." She turns to look at Thane. "The choice I'm referring to is to have a pretty wench dancin' in your lap, not being chewed and swallowed in pieces. Though if you're good with just watching, I'm sure we can find you one that's more to your taste in beauty and poise. What was the name of that Lady ya found so attractive, hm? Ya never did tell me about her, and I'm curious."

Thane gruffs at Karen's comment. "Ciel has a loose tongue hasn't she.' Thane sneers as he produces a pipe and a bit of pipe tobacco. "You let me smoke, and you can do whatever you want." he grunts at Karen.
Karl looks to Karen and grins, "He actually is being rather coy about this, hows about... that one there... The tall girl with the killer legs and platinum blond hair." Karl nods "She is closest to his liking, as I recall." Karl points to the tall leggy blond in the green outfit. "She lacks wings but she'll do nicely for him." He says with an evil grin.

Karen chuckles and waves the girl that Karl has pointed out over to them. She nods and the girl automatically waits for instruction from Thane. Karen chuckles and winks at Ciel. "A loose tongue she may have, but she's learned she can't keep anything from me that I wish to know. And I sincerely hope you at least enjoy yourself for this party Thane. I can't bear to think that the three of us others would have all the fun."
She turned to Karl and asked, "Are you at any liberty to discuss this 'lady' of his? I'm really rather curious...from the sounds of it, she's quite the pretty one...and just as patient to boot."
Ciel said nothing, but smiled widely and kept to her dancing with the girls. She let Thane's comment go. She could easily have talked back to him, but what was the point anymore?

Thane's tail swishes uncontrollably with his frustration. He strikes a match and lights his pipe. He draws in the fragrant smoke and lets loose a series of rings into the air. "What is your specialty?" the hound grunts at the girl not looking so impressed nor interested for the moment.
Karl looks to Karen, "Liberty or not," he laughs, "He has a crush on someone who holds a special place in his heart." Karl grins, "Yeah can you believe it, Thane, a heart... anyway, from what I gather she is a Pei-Ri." Karl nods "Tall and lovely fallen and rachet descent, very old and wise as she is beautiful. Not only is she Thane's polar opposite, she is as white as the driven snow."

The girl waited expectantly as he spoke and leaned in when his pipe was lit. I am skilled in many things. Whatever your passion is, I will do. And I can be whatever you like...even if it means that you must keep your eyes closed to see what you like. I am to be your fantasy...whatever your wish is, I can be.
Karen chuckles. "Oh really? She sounds like a definite knock-out. I can see where even Thane might be able to melt. " She took a great swig of her grog and wiped her mouth on the back of her hand. "I would be willing to bet that even Thane has a heart. Big and black as it may be, I know he's got one."
Karen was watching the girls as she leaned on Karl comfortably. "Pe-Ri? Again, she sounds like a knock-out. I can't figure anything else Thane might like. Plus, I bet the part Ratchet makes her even more delectable. And hey, who doesn't like a little bit of snow in their life?"
Karen chuckled and snuggled into Karl. She figured she'd get comfy if they were watching something entertaining. And if she were just snuggling, neither one of them could get into trouble.

Thane sighs a bit as hot smoke billows out of his nose in great plumes. "I wish you to be quiet..." Thane commands softly as he leans back in his chair and drains his grog in a gulp. "Get me another... and something to... chew on." he demands looking uncomfortable with the game he is playing with the girl as he puffs on his pipe. "We'll find something else for you to do after my hunger is satisfied... and I'm not entertaining the notion of devouring your sweet short breads with a goblet of your red, warm, sticky life's flow." He says licking his lips hungrily.
Karl nods, "Yep, Pe-Ri... Thane aims high and shoots for the stars... I guess I can't blame him." Karl smiles. "I did the same thing... with great surprise and much satisfaction I hit my lofty target... and I'm so glad I did it too." Karl places an arm around Karen to offer her his support and comradely as they watch the exciting dance. He sways to the music moved by the rhythm and the grog. "This is fun... You are a great pirate hostess." He says with a warm smile, "And Ciel too!" he laughs holding up his grog toasting her as she twirls in her choreographic perfection.

The girl's face falls as she nods. Yes, Master Thane. I will do as you please. She nodded silently and almost disappeared as she went to get what he had asked of her.
Karen nodded her approval. "There's never anything wrong with aiming high. There's a saying I like that says 'Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.' Can't really remember who said it, but it's true." She looked up at her comrade and nodded. "I think what I did was just get overwhelmed and my knight in shining ...smartassery showed up to save me. He helped me out of a very sticky and sad place back then. Saved me life, literally. And there ain't a day that goes by I don't thank them same lucky stars you thank. What kind of fae would I be if I didn't thank my benefactors , eh?"
As he places his arm around her, Karen softens some. She sways along with him and chuckles. "Well you and Thane are awesome guests! I just love drinking and watching dancing women... I can't wait to do that while Phil's home one of these days. I think that oughta be fun, huh?"
Ciel acknowledges Karl's lovely comment with a well placed nod as she continues her dancing with the girls. She even passed by Thane to say, "You really have a way with the females Master Elite... at this rate, I KNOW that you will need my help with Lady Tre..." She waited for him to cut her off...

Thane's eyes flair with fire at Ciel's comments because he knows what she is to say. "I'd thank you for not being so nosey, Mademoiselle." Thane snarls, "As it is not your concern, I would appreciate your butting out unless called upon for your expertise in such matters." he growls defensively as the smoke from the pipe steams from his nose and billows around him. "This is not the time I can appreciate nor tollerate your chastisements. Till that time presents itself... I'd rather you not." He says through pressed lips trying to maintain some small measure of composure.

At Thane's flair-up, Ciel began to laugh. "I was not being nosy. I was merely stating the obvious. You ratchet males are apparently very lost at the art of seduction. And as for it not being my concern," Here she paused in her dance to cross her arms at him, "I should think that even you should know that where seduction is involved Devilcats are the best at what they know. Like or not, I really do wish to help you. And if necessary, I will help you whether you ask me to or not."
She began to dance again and whirled another beauty away in a dance. By this point, the blondish girl in green had returned with everything that Thane had asked for and was on one knee in front of him bearing the tray.Your refreshments, Master Thane.
Karen smiled at their exchange and looked up at Karl. "He must really have it bad if Ciel wants to help. She has a knack for knowing where help is needed...at least where seduction's involved."

Karl turns to look at the exchange Karen mentions. "Well, it is apparent, he is in need of companionship, though the rachet girls throw themselves at him and he ignores them like they don't exist." he says rather mater-of-factually. "I doubt he figures it into his job and he forsakes it in the name of duty." Karl shrugs. "It is like he has forgotten the true meaning behind it and can't/won't let it back in... like a stray cat, always under foot or getting in the way or something." Karl Sighs, "However forcing him into it is not advised for it will bring about the opposite reaction she may be seeking from him... insufferable stubbornness and even froth his temper.
Thane sneers at Ciel and he is bent on her words to the point of challenge as the girl presents his order. His burning eyes sear at the plate and he stands before the kneeling girl. Thane seizes the tray at both sides over the girls hands and practically lifts the girl off the floor with it. "I have no further need for your services." he snorts, "Leave me be." His fangs flash and his human face distorts some as he snarls at the girl, his pipe clenched firmly amid the gruesome crags of Thane's teeth. Thick smoke is twirling and twining about his angry features. He grabs the mug of grog in one clawed hand and meat in the other and the human hound storms off toward the door.

The girl's face is wet with tears at not being needed and she runs out of the room in embarrassment. Karen shakes her head as she watches the girl and Ciel goes to comfort her.
Karen says, "I can understand that. At first, I didn't know what to do with all the attention I was getting. Though I made some big mistakes, I ultimately found what I needed. I think Thane just needs to go through his trial and error period. And as for forcing him, she'd never. She knows better. But she isn't below going back to said Lady and speaking to her about it, just to get her side of it. For some reason, she really wants to help yer big ball of anger, fur and teeth. It's grinding her gears that there's nothing she can possibly do to help him out. I suppose she figures even Thane deserves to be happy..."
Ciel meanwhile was in the next room, comforting the girl. She shadowed out, grabbed a huge box of Kleenex and shadowed back in, making sure that the door was locked so that they could talk.
Karen looks back towards Thane. "Leaving already? Or just getting some air?"

Karl turns his nose to Thane as he snubs the girl and makes for the door. "Rude much?" Karl throws his words at Thane but they bounce off the Rachet's thick skull like rain off a duck's back. "I think Thane is too scared to want somebody, giving that kind of control to someone else is humbling and can be very frightening. Thane is one to understand that compromises within his field are deadly, treason is spawn of such affairs." Karl says watching Thane walk out.
Thane snorts at Karen's comment, "Some one is coming." Thane barks as he reaches the door, but before he can open it he must clear a hand. He sets down his grog and opens the door.

As Thane opens the door, a bright flash of blue light floods the room. As you all recover from the bright spots in your eyes a very handsome man stands at the door. Dressed very smartly as Captain Morgan, the dark stranger removes his feathered hat and bows to Thane. "Ahhh fellow miscreant of the great blue deep, might this be the stage for the deadly lady Karen and her merry band of fem fatals?" The handsome man with the ghostly voice asks politely.

At Karl's comment about Thane, Karen nodded. "I can understand that, but he doesn't have to crush every chance at all. I mean , really. He's the brave one - where's his courage?" Then she heard Thane's comment and looked to the open door.
Karen smiles at the new person and gets up from the floor, helping Karl up too. "This it would be mate. Miss Ciel is currently away in the next room taking care of something and this is Karl." She motioned over to Thane. "I think you've met our resident angry ball of fur there by the door. That's Thane."
She bowed a bit, doffing her hat for a sec before replacing it and standing akimbo to wink at Regent. "So who be ye? And would ye like some...refreshment me bucko?"
