Keyholder's Office

*Penthesilea faces a delegation of dwarves over the desk.*

Penthesilea: Okay, just so we're clear. The statues are to be made of polished granite, seminude with complete, removable accouterments as specified in the contract. I will pay you one third now, one third when the statues are complete as specified, and the last third when the statues are delivered and installed. Do we have a deal?

Head Dwarf: We have a deal. *they shake on it and sign the contract. Penthesilea hands over a large bag of gold.*

Penthesilea: Here's the first payment, as specified.

Head Dwarf: It's a pleasure doing business with you.

Penthesilea: And with you. Can I offer you hospitality for the night?

Head Dwarf: That would be much appreciated, my Lady.

Penthesilea: I'll see to it then, if you will excuse me.

*Penthesilea exits and the dwarves fall to talking in their own language.*

Castle Pub, the next morning

     Having seen the Dwarven delegation on its way, Penth goes to the Pub and is pleased to see that it is still in relatively good repair.

     After checking on the construction crew in the Training Hall courtyard, Penth puts on heavy gloves and helps the work crews clear away the storm damage on the farms.

     After having been up half the night because of the storms and then putting in a full day's work, Penth decides a quick bath and a nap are in order. After that, she’ll hit the Dining Hall and see what’s available for a starving laborer!

#958   [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

   Back in his room at the Nightkin’s mansion, Kodiak lay stretched on his bed staring at the ceiling. He didn’t want to admit it but his first sight of Penthesilea had shaken him to his core. He had never, ever
, reacted so strongly to a woman, especially one who had not even known that he was there! She had been hot, sweaty and dirty from her labors and she had been the most beautiful and desirable woman he had ever seen.  It had taken all of his self control to keep from having her then and there!
     Kodiak suspected that he was in serious trouble....

Master Suite, Keyholder's Tower

     Penth is curled up with a good book when Spirit comes into the room with a frog in a fishbowl.

Penthesilea: What are you doing with that frog?

Spirit: Well, he didn't make that good a prince, so I'm putting him back.

Penthesilea: Oh. Okay, don't be out too late.

Spirit: I won't, Mother. * Spirit leaves and Penthesilea goes back to her book*

The Keyholder’s Tower, the next day
     
BOOM!!!!!

     The door to Penthesilea's magical workroom blows off of its hinges. Penthesilea and billows of smoke emerge from the room as her daughters run in.

MoonCat: Mom! What happened?

Penthesilea: It didn't work.

Spirit: Obviously.....unless you were making an explosive.

Penthesilea: I wasn't. At least, not intentionally.

MoonCat: Let's see what you got, Mom. I can always use new ways to blow stuff up! *MoonCat goes into her mother's workroom, followed by her sister.*

Penthesilea: Don't remind me....

Penthesilea follows her daughters.

#970  [Rewritten by Penthesilea]

     Kodiak was at pains to be unnoticed. He HAD to get another look at Penthesilea. He had to know if his first reaction to her was a fluke or genuine so when the day’s work ended and the estate’s population headed for the Castle for food, drink and entertainment before retiring for the night, Kodiak slipped into the Castle with them.  It wasn’t long before she appeared in the Dining Hall, her hair still slightly damp from her bath. The mental image of Penthesilea in her bath was all the evidence that Kodiak needed to confirm that his initial reaction was not a fluke! He pulled back into the shadows so there was no chance that she would see him. He needed to think. And while he thought, he would continue to observe this beautiful, captivating woman.
