Thane's red eyes flash as the lady raises his head to peer at him. His human features are cool and calm as Thane desperately tries to hide the emotional storm raging between his ears. "I... Thank you M'Lady... I am at your service." Thane rumbles softly as he bows again. Her touch is soft but firm, her fur silky and smooth. Her face is that of a beautiful dream wrapped in sweet torment. As she passes Thane can't help himself as he greets Tre'Maya in traditional Rachet form. He takes her hand to his face as if to kiss it but instead he breathes deeply of her sweet smell and in his euphoria he almost slams the door shut on the poor demonling struggling out side on the stairs. Thane stops the door before it shuts to the shrill squeaking for aid. Thane looks again to Tre'Maya with a look of sorrow that he must release her hand. In a flash Thane opens the door and has plucked the demonling and the packages from the stair right into the house. "Professor? Thane realizes he knows the little imp he holds in his hands. He is somewhat taken back by the look of shock on the little demon's face. Thane quickly sets him down looking rather embarrassed.
Karl bows to the lady, "It is a pleasure Milady, I am pleased that I must amuse you so..." He says to her laughing at him for reasons unknown. "Please excuse my attire, er, lack there of... as I am not in full fashion due to the, um... circumstances." he says with a grin nodding to the pretty girl holding his coat and undoing his authentic victorian style, ruffled, neck laces.

The demonling smiled under the huge packages. Thanks Thane. You always were a strong little pup. Now, d'you think you could take one of these freakishly huge things? The two of 'em are killing my back.
Lady Tre'Maya nodded. I quite understand. Enjoyment sometimes comes in the form of an embarassing situation. No matter. It is wonderful to make your acquaintance Karl. Now, if you will excuse me, I will retire to a seat and watch over my gift-giving. She nodded in a polite gesture and took her leave, turning to Karen.
May I respectfully request a seat Lady Pirate?

Karen had walked back into the room carefully as the Lady required a seat. She had seen how Thane acted around the Lady and she quite understood. She had been that way once to a lady of her own. She nodded. "But o' course yer loveliness. Thane, get the Lady the chair in the next room. Don't worry 'bout hurtin' it, just bring it."
She bowed again while she waited for Thane to help the little fellow with the packages and get the Lady's chair.
Ciel meanwhile chuckled. "Nevermind that big wad of fur. I shall retrieve the Lady's chair." With a curtsey, she shadowed out of the room and walked back in carefully with a great, yet delicately gilded chair of exquisite elegance for the Lady. "Your chair madam."

Thane nods to the professor he had studied with many years ago in the library. He takes the largest packages from the stack and cradles them in each arm. "It is good to see you well, school master." Thane says with awkward pleasantries to the demonling. "It has been many years since I had last seen you." Thane then looks at Karen asking him to retrieve the chair for Tre'Maya and Thane nearly drops the packages to respond, but Ciel interjects on his behalf and brings it for the lady.
Karl bows again "The pleasure is mine Milady." Karl smiles at her and then looks to Thane acting like a pup again. He shakes his head no as he chuckles and returns to his business. His shirt removed, the massage begins. "oh yeah." he says softly as his worries melt away with the wonderful kneading.

Regent has settled face down on the pillows. his head resting comfortably in the redhead's lap as she scratches his scalp and the other girls working away the stress and relaxing him warmly. "I think I should make it mandatory before the council, that any debate must first begin with a massage, so everyone won't be so worked up when we discuss the matters of state." he muses the thought for a while and smiles.

The girl working on Karl's back smiled big and wide as she kneaded his kinks out. Are you enjoying yourself Master? Is there anything else that I can get for you?
Karen chuckled as Ciel brought the chair and nodded to Regent. "That would probably work. Might make yer politicians a little less antsy, yeah?" She shot a look to Thane and chuckled. The poor bastard had enough to worry about. She'd needle him later on.
Ciel smiled and set the chair in front of Lady Tre'Maya and curtsied again as she stepped away.
Karen smiled at the Lady this time and nodded to the chair. "That beauty of a chair be yours, Lady. That is, if ye'll accept it as me gift to ye."

Tre'Maya watched all of the trouble to get her a chair and placed a hand to her breast to wait. She was very patient and smiled the whole time. She chuckled at Ciel's comment about Thane and covered her pretty mouth with her fan.
There is no need for you to continue bowing to me Lady Karen. Please, call me Tre'Maya. It would make me much more comfortable. This is a party, and what sort of party would this be if we all were stuck to such rigid moral codes? In even the strictest of codes, I have seen allowances be made. Why not here? Saying this, she sat in the chair comfortably and crossed her legs, making sure that her legs were completely covered by the skirts.
Returning Karen's smile, Tre'Maya looked at her and gasped a tiny bit. This beautiful chair is mine? Why, my Lady pirate, I am honored to receive it. Thank you very much. I will treasure it always. I sincerely hope that you enjoy my gifts to you half as much as I enjoy this one.
The professor meanwhile, chuckled and laughed, nodding to Thane. Much obliged, son. The Lady loves buying pretty things...that seem to weigh more when you pick them up. The demonling nodded and fluttered his wings to stretch them. Patting Thane on one great leg, he began to walk towards the other room where everyone was staying, motioning for Thane to follow.
Yes, it has been years. Putting his hands together behind his back, the little fellow drew a pair of spectacles from someplace and put them on. Ah. Much better. Now, how has being an Elite treated you my boy? It does not seem to have done much for your being sweet on Tre'Maya. This last part was said low enough for only Thane to hear and the little demonling looked up at Thane, eyes sparkling as he kept his hands clasped behind his back in a scholarly way. She's just radiant tonight, is she not?
While the boys are busy talking, Tre'Maya has had Karen sit next to her on the floor. I do so hope that you are able to use my presents to you. I tried to make you things that would be useful in your endeavors. Both at sea and here on land.
She smiled sweetly and glanced back to Thane and the Professor. Her smile got a bit bigger and she looked back at Karen. It seems that even a pupil must grow. Thane has always been so eager to learn and be the very best at what he does. I have always admired that trait in him.

The Professor's comments provoke Thane as his head turns to give him a look of, 'Not you too...' about his feelings for Tre'Maya. "Being privileged to be counted as an elite has been my life's dream." Thane looks again to the lady as she is seated. "It has made radical changes to one's life, responsibility, power, and point of view... but not one's heart." Thane says still holding the packages and staring at Tre'Maya. "Yes... She is absolutely radiant tonight. He says softly and sighs heavily. "Well these packages aren't getting any lighter." he says as he walks up to the chair and places them down beside Tre'Maya, trying very hard not to gawk at her as he does so.
Karl smiles at his masseuse, "This is just what the doctor ordered." he says as he looks at her with droopy eyes from being so relaxed, "Thank you though."

The girl nods and continues to massage Karl's shoulders.
Karen(who had sat willingly next to the beautiful Lady) smiled and nodded. "Aye then , Tre'maya. I am proud to have ye here. And more than proud to let go of such a gorgeous chair to ye."
Karen removed her hat so that she could look up at the Lady properly. "Make? What is it ye do, Tre'maya?"
Ciel sat next to Karen and leaned against her. Karen put an arm around her to wait for the lady to answer.

The Professor chuckled and nodded. The boy will never change. He then sat someplace out of the way. He fluttered up to one of the huge speakers in a corner of the room the men were in and sat on top of it, chuckling again. Leaning his head against the wall, he promptly fell asleep. His tiny snores could barely be heard.
Tre'Maya smiled at Thane as he set the gifts next to her feet. She placed a pretty hand on his arm and nodded to him. Thank you Thane. Please, sit here next to us. I am anxious to see our hostess' faces when they open these, and I am sure that we will have something of interest to speak about. After all, I have so missed speaking with you. It has been a time since I have last sat and conversed with you.
Smiling at him before turning to Karen, she answered the pirate politely. I am proud to be here. And I am a scribe at heart, Lady Karen. I enjoy making pretty things out of paper and inks...and I very much hope that you and Lady Ciel enjoy your presents.
Moving to the side with Thane and the presents, she picks up the first one and lays it in Karen's lap, making Ciel sit up. Picking up the second one, she gives it to Karen who transfers it to Ciel's lap.
Her smile had gotten much wider as she shooed them on with one lace covered hand. Please, go on! Open them! Clapping delightedly, she turns to Thane and winks.

Regent has soaked up all the touching he can enjoy and now wishes to return the favor. "Thank you all for your generous amounts of caressing." He says as he begins to pool away into dark waters and spill onto the floor. The pool becomes larger as it begins to swell and bubble up all around the girls who were massaging the dark lord. The waters continue to rise as they all are lifted from the floor in the warm tide. The force of the flow around them all is powerful and the warm waters are tantalizing. Hot streams rush about them like a hot tub with turbo jets, throbbing and pulsing in rhythmic succession bringing about soothing sensations of a tender full body massage on their delicate skin. Regent swirls about and pours into the main room where his waters flash like it is to overtake everyone and die just as swiftly. The tide waters subside leaving the girls laid down softly on the floor before the others looking like mermaids washed ashore after a tsunami. The black eddy then reforms into a fully dressed Morgan once again. Rich color bleeds into the black garments swiftly overtaking the cloth to once again become the pristine wares fit of the pirate Governor. "Ahh... presents, this should be quite entertaining." he says as an icy chair forms beneath him and sweeps him off his feet to a comfortable reclining posture. he leans back watching intently. "Don't let me stop you... please continue lady pirate." He says with steely charm.

Thane freezes for a moment as Tre'Maya touches him again and winks. Terror seizes his heart as he is at loss what to do. Is it just simple merriment being playful as one would a child, or could there be something more. Thane's knees grow weak and he slumps to the floor beside the lady's chair. "A... aaall right..." he mutters with a look of disbelief in his red eyes."As you wish, M'lady."
Karl too has had his fill of the great message and thanks the Girl. "That was a fine, fine bit o work there... ah... I'm so sorry but I don't even know your name. How rude of me... I'm Karl, and I'm so happy to make your aquaintance... Miss..." he says extending his hand in greeting.

The girls all look as though they have been through a raging love storm. They all have tousled hair and smile lustfully at Morgan, but go back to their dancing, with huge grins on their faces.
The girl that was Karl's turned to him and smiled, blushing. My name is Arina, Master. Thank you for having me to do your relaxation for you. I must go... She looked down at his hand, giggled behind her hand and scampered off to join the others.
Karen and Ciel smile at the same time and Karen leans down to begin to open her present.
As soon as Karen touched the present, it glowed a warm peach color and the wrappings shimmered and disappeared. What was left in her lap was an elegant map case. It looked very old and there was scrolling on the side. Karen smiled and opened the case, pulling out a lovely piece of gilded parchment. "Oh Lady...you shouldn't have..." She unrolled the map, but it was blank. Her look of confusion said everything.
Ciel waited as patiently for her to finish before opening her present as she could . As soon as Ciel touched her present, the same thing happened. But what showed up in her lap was yet another scroll, this one in a blue casing. There was light in her eyes and she looked to Tre'Maya to tell her which scroll this was.

Tre'Maya nodded happily at Thane. Many thanks my dear Elite. It makes me happy to have everyone around so. Especially very old, and dear friends. She put a pretty hand on his huge shoulder as she said the last part.
The Professor, meanwhile, was talking softly in his sleep. There were only a few words that could be made out. Mmph...don't eat that...no, uh uh!...you shouldna....hmmm... His little wings flitted a bit as he rolled over to lay flat on top of the speaker and curl up to get more comfortable.
Tre'Maya looked to Karen, hand still on Thane's shoulder. Milady Pirate, can you think of anywhere in this realm or another that you would wish to explore? She put out her other hand and closed her eyes. As the tip of her finger touched the map, colors began to bleed into it. It was a map of the Queen's gardens, down to the different sections and little tiny flowers peering up at Karen. Tre'Maya opened her eyes and pulled back her other hand, curling the fingers of her left into Thane's furred shoulder. This map will give you any world that you seek. All that remains is for you to ask for it.
She then looked to Ciel warmly. And for you Lady Ciel, the second in the set of scrolls I set out to make for you. The first taught you to read. This one is going to teach you to write. It holds all things that you will need to become skilled in normal writing, cursive and calligraphy if you so choose it. Please, use it well and enjoy it in every way that you can. I thoroughly enjoyed making it for you.
When she was satisfied that it was appropriate to sit back in her chair, Tre'Maya moved herself so that she was comfortable, but still held her back straight. She waited for the ladies' responses and every once in a while, stole a glance or two down at the Ratchet at her side, with a smile as warm as the room.

Thane sits in wonder not really being in the moment till Tre'Maya places her hand on his shoulder. That moment draws him into the here and now with laser intensity. He turns to look at her when she casts the spells and his memories recall how graceful she was when he first witnessed her enchanting his quill. The look of excitement she expressed to him and having it spell out his name for the first time. (A keepsake he still has locked away in his barracks.) He sighs and smiles at her softly.
Karl enters as the spells are working and peers over Karen's shoulder at the map writing itself. "Wow, that is very impressive. It must have been a bugger to get it to do that." He says looking at the flowers trace out.

Karen chuckles and nods. "Sure is impressive." She rolls up the chart as it goes blank again and carefully puts the map back in its case, stowing it away carefully behind a speaker. Turning back to everyone, she smiled at Ciel and winks at her.
Ciel got up then, curtsied and took both presents out of the room and came out of the small bedroom with a smile as she stood next to Karen. The lovely pirate Captain got up, helped by Ciel, (without showing Karl the world) and looked around the room, smile in her eyes. "What would ye all say to a nice dance? Somethin' pretty."

Tre'Maya was comfortable with her hand in Thane's furred shoulder. She giggled and answered Karl. Actually, it has become quite old hat to me. I have made many a map in my life, and that particular kind of map just happens to be my favorite type. And I am quite happy that its new owner is pleased.
She stole a look after he saw her spell the map and her smile never left her face. She wondered what Thane was thinking about. When he sighed and smiled up at her, she was caught. She had laughter in her eyes as she nodded to him in some silent moment between them that only they could see.
Meanwhile, the Professor was just startling himself awake. Hmm, huh? A dance you say, milady? That sounds glorious! He stood on the speaker and fluttered over to Karl's side, and touched down on the floor. I haven't been to a good waltz or so in ages! Isn't that right, Lady?
Tre'Maya's eyes never left Thane's as she replied. You are quite correct Professor Vetli. And I would be honored to dance here. That is if there would be someone that was willing... She trailed off, still looking at Thane. She was beginning to think that perhaps there was more to her former pupil than met the eye.

Regent's eyes glimmer at the mention of the dance. "First a masquerade now a ball, what a splendid idea!" he says as he practically leaps from his seat. He looks around at everyone encouraging them to stand and participate. "Come now, look lively there you bunch of lifeless cod fishes, the timbers need a proper shake down." He says as he scoops up several of the girls and makes for the open floor. "All of you come and make merry... You as well Thane, it'll do you some good to make enjoyment this eve." he says with a hearty laugh twirling the girls about.

Thane looks away at the mention of the dance. He hated dancing to prim and fancy for his taste. Though it was expected of many elite to escort guests at gatherings, dancing may have been a rare but all too real possibility. One he had been groomed and also trained for. His duty forced him to learn the steps, but it had been some time since he had been made to refresh. As Regent makes it known he wants them all to frolic about madly, Thane has no choice but to comply. He grits his teeth and stands bowing to Tre'Maya. "If the lady wishes..." Thane says low and almost shyly, he reluctantly extends his invitation to the beautiful vision seated before him with a sweeping open palm gesture to the dance floor.

Karen saw what was happening and nodded to Ciel, who shadowed out of the room and came back with a huge black cd case.
The lady pirate then went to the cd player and popped in a few cds. The sweet sounds of Sammy Davis, Jr. The first song was "That Old Black Magic. "
As the first strains began, Karen walked up to Karl and tapped him on the shoulder, extending a hand and bowing to him from the waist, looking up and winking. "One for the lovebirds back there."
