ALL: This was the day he was to meet Sarah's family, and more specifically...her father. It had been Sarah's suggestion that he provide a fresh kill for the feast, so he had set out with bow in hand, looking for just the perfect beast. He was a patient man, and had allowed severl to pass by that he felt to be....inadequate. Some few hours later...and a few locations as well....he brought down a large stag...easily large enough for the planned feast, with what should be more than enough left over to smoke or jerk. Having cleaned the kill, he set out to return to the Village and make his way to her family's home...

ALL: She knew to expect Dorian today and her nerves were being just a bit riled. Anxiety in a sense not bad...but in a sense of anticipation for the very moment that had finally arrived. Plans had been made between her and Dorian and now..she seemed to have that look about her as she fret with fingertips working the pretty green dress she chose to wear..She stood in the main room of the house and the table had been set and prepared...They knew that there was someone to come knocking on thier very own door. She had spoken with them a few nights ago that ...tonight ...was the night they were to meet someone. But she would wait for introduction when that time came. Her family respected her and loved her enough never to question the motives set behind this....meeting ..tonight.. .

Sarah TurcotteAlways rem: Entering the room and looking you over, brows just faintly narrowed. Certainly he trusted you to arrange this meeting, but he wasn't a lackwit, and could see the care you'd taken to look your absolute best this night, but he'd not met this fellow yet. "Hello dear....You are looking splendid tonight...." Stepping over to give her shoulders a gentle squeeze, leaning close to kiss her cheek.

ALL: It didn't take so much time to return to the place he needed to be, Shade had both speed and endurance…but as he was in no real hurry, he didn’t urge him to a gallop. His clothing wasn’t splendid, yet it was of good quality and well made…not wishing to give the appearance that he was putting on airs. Arriving at the house that was the home to Sarah’s parents, he dismounted and made his way to the door….perhaps he was just a tad nervous as hard knuckles rapped soundly on the door…

David TurcotteFather to : SHe could see the look and gave a soft loving smile ....but the nervousness was still there pon her in slow flowing tides. There was a color softly staining her features by this point...she could even feel her heart rate just a touch above normal. She knew ..this was going to be interesting...and she knew that you may find this...a touch uncomfortable...but she would keep her mind focused. This ...was a very serious situation and it meant the world to her. Who else on this planet fit her heart more than Dorian.....no one in her eyes...ever....Taking a deep breath...The dress she had donned not her usual attire and she knew that you and her mother and sister could tell this was to be a very special occasion. Her tone was soft and small but held that touch of nervousness..as she stepped up to your side with a light touch pon your arm.."Good evening father..."...giving the usual soft kiss on the cheek...and that loving smile...glancing to her mother and sister a moment who stayed int he back ground ...giving her looks with those ..odd little grins of sorts...as if they knew...Cora perhaps...not her mother...Turning her dark eyes towards you now...She had felt your touch pon ehr shoulders a moment ago..but that had not stilled the anxiousness rising...she almost wanted to laugh she felt so giddy...Then...she heard the knock on the door...the moment had arrived..her attention now devertng to the door...

David TurcotteFather to : He stepped forward at Sara's introduction and offered his own hand.....The man a well built, solid figure that looked much younger than his obvious years. He noted the shrewd eyes, knowing that to be a mark of one that dealt in the trades. As they clasped hands, he noted the strength in the man's grip, and mas\de certain that his was no less so. He met the man's gaze directly, both as a sign of respect, and because that was simply his way...Her added a polite respectful dip of his head to his greeting..."Greeting and good eve, Goodman Turcotte...my thanks for your generous invitation into your home..."

A firm grip given, the eyes measuring your own gaze, frowning just faintly again as he sees the traces of darkness there, but few men of the blade didn't harbor such to one degree or another. turning and leading the way to the sideboard, a few finer vintages he had picked up here and there. Just from the looks you had given Sarah, it seemed clear to his eyes that the feeling she so obviously carried were shared and returned in full measure.

ALL: She watched pretty closely to this interaction that was now taking place. Her heart was a flutter in her chest and she felt as though there was a touch of tension up along her slender back beneath that pretty green dress. But..she had confidence...to her in her own thoughts at this time...this was a very very important moment...just as the day Dorian had asked her ..the very thing he was here to ask her father for permission for...Now ...there was that moment of more tension as you both spoke to one another..and she could see that her father was measuring Dorian....in a way that a father would measure a man who ...has eyes for his daughter...turning her head to see her mother and sister just about ..agaping jaw like expressions seeing thier eyes on Dorian..her mother the first to look at her and the smile just seemed to blossom. Her mother..having this inner sense about things often...gave ..just a single nod...her approval of sorts...no more to guess as the moment arrived ..and her sister was next...giving her a most brilliant smile...
Glancing back to Dorian now as she cleared her throat lightly..not to be interuptive...but to further the introduction..."And this is my mother Karyn....and my sister Cora...."...glancing to them as they slowly step up now ..thier eyes turned to Dorian..with a lift of thier chins. Her sister a few inches taller...eyes like her mother which were hazel almost...They both gave a dip of thier heads in respect...and almost unison thier soft voices chimed together thier Greetings.

ALL: He knew that Sarah’s father had assessed him in the vaults of his own mind…what he thought would remain mostly unrevealed , save for the fact that he could tell that he had seen that bit of darkness in him. Few would ever know the depths of that darkness, save Sarah, in time. Turning now from David, bringing his attention to her mother and sister, favoring each with a light bow as Sarah made the introductions…addressing her mother first…“Thank you also, gracious lady, for allowing me into your home this eve..” And now to her sister…”And a good eve, young miss…” Turning back to face David…”If it would please you, Goodman…I have taken the liberty to bring a small gift…a stag, taken only hours ago…”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Filling a couple goblets from one of the better vintages he had collected. Turning back though his eyes catching his wifes, having learned to trust her judgement on certain things as well, seeing the smile and faint nod as he looks back to you. "Most splendid Sir Hawkmoon..." Stepping forward to pass over the goblet. At least your manners were worthy of your title, such was a toss up anymore.

David TurcotteFather to : He accepted the goblet with a respectful nod of thanks....this was a game that he had only played once before...though he'd been hated and had had to fight for what he needed....this time he was being treated as if he was a person and not an enemy. He raised the goblet in a toast..."To yours, and your family's health...may you know only good fortune and happiness through your days..." Raising the goblet to his lips, he savoured the contents..."Tis quite good, if I might say...I should see to the stag, though...and if I could have a moment of your time?"

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Raising his goblet as you make the toast..."Thank you good Sir..." Indeed, you had manners, that was always a good sign, without the feel that such were a facade, in his life, he'd gotten a good eye for seeing such falsehood. "Of course, we should see to such..." Glancing to Sarah long enough to give her a reassuring smile as he steps forward to open the door for you. Time for them to talk man to man.

ALL: She watched as they left the room. Her heart was still fluttering like mad. At this point..as they stepped out to take care of the fresh kill...she had turned her eyes pon her mother and sister who were now..beaming almost rediculously ...And a soft laugh was slipped past her lips now as she seen thier eyes so wide...They came up to her and each one took an arm and started to guide her to the kitchen...Now....there was a soft flow of female voices as the questions began. And she ...would do her best to answer each that seemed to flow like an almost constant tide. Again..during moments of this..she felt the laughter...giddy...beyond words...Cora was doing this ...straightening the layers of Sarahs dress as if she could get any more properly straightened...swatting her hands away..she would then hush them both ...as they all set to the other things to help with dinner preparations. And she would be pushed aside pretty much to be told not to lift a finger this night...but..she had begun the story..of when they first met..that ..smile he gave..how it looked..how ...something inside her seemed to reach out ...and further on after the progressing days how ..she would see him and how he would check up on her...always..so tentive..for the care of her ...in some way or another...

David TurcotteFather to : The incline of his head would convey both respect and thanks…also politely nodding to his wife and younger, he moved to the door…before crossing the threshold, his gaze would find Sarah, offering a smile of reassurance just before he would pass the door as David opened it. Waiting just outside for the man to join him, he would sweep a hand lightly towards the waiting Shade…calmly standing where he had been commanded to stay…the stag having been skinned and dressed. “Once more I have to thank you for allowing me so graciously into your home. Sarah has had many good things to say of you all…I can easily see that she has come from a warm and loving home.” As they reached the waiting Shade, he would stop and look to David…once more his gaze would be directed straight to his eye, so that he could see the earnestness and truth there. “I am certain you have guessed by now, that I have both reason and purpose to speak with you in this manner..” He paused only a moment, then continued…“Since I have met your Sarah, I have found that….I have happiness in my life…and more. I will not mince words with you, good sir…for I can see you are not a man that would waste time. I love Sarah…and that is not a thing I say lightly. Her heart sings to me….I see no other but her…think of no other but her…and I would humbly ask for your permission…to court your daughter..”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Walking with you quietly, a bit more serious and all business now that Sarah is out of sight. Watching your eyes, measuring what I see there against what I hear in your words and voice, and what I had seen within. The nod and smile of Sarah's mother weighingheavily in your favor as he trusted her intuition and ability to see mroe clearly such matters of the heart. "You have spoken straight with me Sir Hawkmoon and so I shall with you. She is my daughter, and dear to me, as you can see....But I have seen her eyes as they look upon you, and heard her voice...So I shall grant you the permission you seek....Upon one condition...." One brow arching as he waits to see how you react to conditions being laid....

David TurcotteFather to : His eyes would seek to see any hint of what was going on in the man’s mind after he’d made his request…He was god at many things, reading people was one…but all he could sense from David was that he was appreciating his directness…He nodded lightly, not one to interrupt as another spoke…as he spoke of being able to see what he and Sarah felt for each other…what their mouths did not say, but their hearts did. As David would speak of a condition, he would nod but once…a gesture to indicate his own seriousness in the matter…responding with the conviction of a man that would give anything for the one he loved…”Please speak it then…for there is no thing in this world that I would not do….for Sarah…”

...is somewhere outside Windstorm's borders...
Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Nodding as you accepted such, another positive sign...Most, especially between a titled one and one such as himself, would have bristled and gotten belligerent about such things as conditions..."You will swear to me, here and now, upon your honor and all that you hold Holy, that my daughter shall never have reason to fear your hand, now or ever..." Not asking for a promise not to argue or even fight, such happens even in the most well-matched couples, but even if the law gives you the right, t'is not right in his beliefs, not where his little girl is concerned.

David TurcotteFather to : There was nothing of haughtiness within him…to him, being a father himself, albeit an adoptive one, he would find no fault and have no quarrel with a father asking…or demanding….such from a man that would ask for the privilege of courting his daughter….it was only right and proper. Without a thought, without a hesitation, he would take a knee before this man, father to the woman that held and owned his heart…wrapped it with loved and cared for it. She was worth this, and so much more. The light of conviction shone in his eyes as he met the stern, yet not unkind gaze…”I do so swear to you…upon my Father’s name…by my own honour…with the rights and responsibilities as a Knight of the Crimson Order...and as an advisor to Her Majesty, Queen Edfeil of Windstorm…that no harm shall EVER come to Sarah by my hand…and further…that no other shall grace my thoughts…no other shall EVER be put before her…that I will always treat her with the honour and respect that she deserves…So swears Dorian Hawkmoon….with my humble thanks to you…”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Listening to the man knelt before him and nodding, lips curving into a smile slowly, seems his daughter wasn't the only one whose heart was lost. "Rise son...Let us see to the sstag, and then we can get back inside, where I am certain someone is missing you...I would ask you to make her happy, but I think you are already ahead of me on that front..." Laughing quietly as he finishes his drink and offers you a hand up.

David TurcotteFather to : Taking the kindly offered had, he rose to his feet...though only the smile would be seen as he rose to his feet, inside...a heart that had lain virtually dead for so many years leapt into joyous celebration within his breast...He was free now....WITH her father's blessing....to show the world that he loved and wanted Sarah...never would she be some idle plaything to be teased and tossed away...Grasping David's hand warmly, he made to fetch the stag from Shade's back...pausing to turn...."WOrds will never be able to express my thanks to you....my oath will remain for as long as I have breath..."

ALL: And still as things are being prepared..the stories continued. She had told them about how his smile had changed through a course of time...of how they talked ...but she wouldnt let them know of certain things..that were entrusted pon her ...that realy had no place to be spoken of. What mattered the most was how her heart felt for him..and how she could see it in his eyes...every day..as if it were a growing tree beneath the kiss of sunlight...how the limbs reached and wanted for more of its over flowing warmth...that was how her heart felt ...and she had no doubt that Dorian felt the same way. The giggles did flow...Cora had even snuck a peek out from the back door..leaving it cracked enough so that she could over hear thier deep tones..relaying to Sarah the things said...Her mother seemed to be beside herself...she felt..and could tell ...that Sir Hawkmoon would protect her daughter...to always look over her and to be sure that she would have a most glorious long happy life...The chatter of thier voices kept low ..a melody that floated pon teh kitchen air as Sarah continued to share the stories....all that which come up to this very point...they shared hugs...there were tears of happiness ...and many words of well wishes for her life that is now..on its way ..

Sarah TurcotteAlways rem: Retrieving teh stag from the back of Shade, he moved to follow David 'round to the back of the house so that the fresh meat could be readied. It had been long...SO long...since he had felt so much in the way of joy....happiness....words that he almost had forgotten the meaning of. Once the stag had been deliverd to the firepit, he would go back inside with David...perhaps he would have other questions, perhaps not. He would anser the only way he knew how to...with candor and honesty. When his eyes would find Sarah, the samile would bloom....he no longer cared if he was scarred and that smile twisted....just a simple nod.....yes....and now, openly...infront of her family...he would reach for that delicate hand...take it into his own, and raise it to brush the lips softly to the back....a simple whisper...."I love you.."

Seeing...almost feeling in a way..the very happiness that radiates off your very expressions...already mirrored by her own as you stepped up...she never once seen the scars ..nor what you felt to be imperfections..but had always seen..and would always see..the man before her. The man that has her heart so completely. There is nothing on this planet that could convince her that this was not a match meant to be. And her smile sweetly melted into that loving one that always was just yours and yours alone to see. To recieve....Watching now as you lift her hand to your lips...feeling the brush of your lips pon her soft little knuckles...hearing hte whisper as if you spoke it so clearly pon a normal tone...feeling the heat of color slowly grace her cheeks as she now seemed to set those dark eyes of hers pon your own very striking blues...and a delicate tone would emerge..softly blessed with the emotions of her heart and soul..that would never faulter in any way...for you..."I love ye to ...Dorian.."

Just from the looks you had given Sarah, it seemed clear to his eyes that the feeling she so obviously carried were shared and returned in full measure.

ALL: She watched pretty closely to this interaction that was now taking place. Her heart was a flutter in her chest and she felt as though there was a touch of tension up along her slender back beneath that pretty green dress. But..she had confidence...to her in her own thoughts at this time...this was a very very important moment...just as the day Dorian had asked her ..the very thing he was here to ask her father for permission for...Now ...there was that moment of more tension as you both spoke to one another..and she could see that her father was measuring Dorian....in a way that a father would measure a man who ...has eyes for his daughter...turning her head to see her mother and sister just about ..agaping jaw like expressions seeing thier eyes on Dorian..her mother the first to look at her and the smile just seemed to blossom. Her mother..having this inner sense about things often...gave ..just a single nod...her approval of sorts...no more to guess as the moment arrived ..and her sister was next...giving her a most brilliant smile...
Glancing back to Dorian now as she cleared her throat lightly..not to be interuptive...but to further the introduction..."And this is my mother Karyn....and my sister Cora...."...glancing to them as they slowly step up now ..thier eyes turned to Dorian..with a lift of thier chins. Her sister a few inches taller...eyes like her mother which were hazel almost...They both gave a dip of thier heads in respect...and almost unison thier soft voices chimed together thier Greetings.

ALL: He knew that Sarah’s father had assessed him in the vaults of his own mind…what he thought would remain mostly unrevealed , save for the fact that he could tell that he had seen that bit of darkness in him. Few would ever know the depths of that darkness, save Sarah, in time. Turning now from David, bringing his attention to her mother and sister, favoring each with a light bow as Sarah made the introductions…addressing her mother first…“Thank you also, gracious lady, for allowing me into your home this eve..” And now to her sister…”And a good eve, young miss…” Turning back to face David…”If it would please you, Goodman…I have taken the liberty to bring a small gift…a stag, taken only hours ago…”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Filling a couple goblets from one of the better vintages he had collected. Turning back though his eyes catching his wifes, having learned to trust her judgement on certain things as well, seeing the smile and faint nod as he looks back to you. "Most splendid Sir Hawkmoon..." Stepping forward to pass over the goblet. At least your manners were worthy of your title, such was a toss up anymore.

David TurcotteFather to : He accepted the goblet with a respectful nod of thanks....this was a game that he had only played once before...though he'd been hated and had had to fight for what he needed....this time he was being treated as if he was a person and not an enemy. He raised the goblet in a toast..."To yours, and your family's health...may you know only good fortune and happiness through your days..." Raising the goblet to his lips, he savoured the contents..."Tis quite good, if I might say...I should see to the stag, though...and if I could have a moment of your time?"

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Raising his goblet as you make the toast..."Thank you good Sir..." Indeed, you had manners, that was always a good sign, without the feel that such were a facade, in his life, he'd gotten a good eye for seeing such falsehood. "Of course, we should see to such..." Glancing to Sarah long enough to give her a reassuring smile as he steps forward to open the door for you. Time for them to talk man to man.

ALL: She watched as they left the room. Her heart was still fluttering like mad. At this point..as they stepped out to take care of the fresh kill...she had turned her eyes pon her mother and sister who were now..beaming almost rediculously ...And a soft laugh was slipped past her lips now as she seen thier eyes so wide...They came up to her and each one took an arm and started to guide her to the kitchen...Now....there was a soft flow of female voices as the questions began. And she ...would do her best to answer each that seemed to flow like an almost constant tide. Again..during moments of this..she felt the laughter...giddy...beyond words...Cora was doing this ...straightening the layers of Sarahs dress as if she could get any more properly straightened...swatting her hands away..she would then hush them both ...as they all set to the other things to help with dinner preparations. And she would be pushed aside pretty much to be told not to lift a finger this night...but..she had begun the story..of when they first met..that ..smile he gave..how it looked..how ...something inside her seemed to reach out ...and further on after the progressing days how ..she would see him and how he would check up on her...always..so tentive..for the care of her ...in some way or another...

David TurcotteFather to : The incline of his head would convey both respect and thanks…also politely nodding to his wife and younger, he moved to the door…before crossing the threshold, his gaze would find Sarah, offering a smile of reassurance just before he would pass the door as David opened it. Waiting just outside for the man to join him, he would sweep a hand lightly towards the waiting Shade…calmly standing where he had been commanded to stay…the stag having been skinned and dressed. “Once more I have to thank you for allowing me so graciously into your home. Sarah has had many good things to say of you all…I can easily see that she has come from a warm and loving home.” As they reached the waiting Shade, he would stop and look to David…once more his gaze would be directed straight to his eye, so that he could see the earnestness and truth there. “I am certain you have guessed by now, that I have both reason and purpose to speak with you in this manner..” He paused only a moment, then continued…“Since I have met your Sarah, I have found that….I have happiness in my life…and more. I will not mince words with you, good sir…for I can see you are not a man that would waste time. I love Sarah…and that is not a thing I say lightly. Her heart sings to me….I see no other but her…think of no other but her…and I would humbly ask for your permission…to court your daughter..”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Walking with you quietly, a bit more serious and all business now that Sarah is out of sight. Watching your eyes, measuring what I see there against what I hear in your words and voice, and what I had seen within. The nod and smile of Sarah's mother weighingheavily in your favor as he trusted her intuition and ability to see mroe clearly such matters of the heart. "You have spoken straight with me Sir Hawkmoon and so I shall with you. She is my daughter, and dear to me, as you can see....But I have seen her eyes as they look upon you, and heard her voice...So I shall grant you the permission you seek....Upon one condition...." One brow arching as he waits to see how you react to conditions being laid....

David TurcotteFather to : His eyes would seek to see any hint of what was going on in the man’s mind after he’d made his request…He was god at many things, reading people was one…but all he could sense from David was that he was appreciating his directness…He nodded lightly, not one to interrupt as another spoke…as he spoke of being able to see what he and Sarah felt for each other…what their mouths did not say, but their hearts did. As David would speak of a condition, he would nod but once…a gesture to indicate his own seriousness in the matter…responding with the conviction of a man that would give anything for the one he loved…”Please speak it then…for there is no thing in this world that I would not do….for Sarah…”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Nodding as you accepted such, another positive sign...Most, especially between a titled one and one such as himself, would have bristled and gotten belligerent about such things as conditions..."You will swear to me, here and now, upon your honor and all that you hold Holy, that my daughter shall never have reason to fear your hand, now or ever..." Not asking for a promise not to argue or even fight, such happens even in the most well-matched couples, but even if the law gives you the right, t'is not right in his beliefs, not where his little girl is concerned.

David TurcotteFather to : There was nothing of haughtiness within him…to him, being a father himself, albeit an adoptive one, he would find no fault and have no quarrel with a father asking…or demanding….such from a man that would ask for the privilege of courting his daughter….it was only right and proper. Without a thought, without a hesitation, he would take a knee before this man, father to the woman that held and owned his heart…wrapped it with loved and cared for it. She was worth this, and so much more. The light of conviction shone in his eyes as he met the stern, yet not unkind gaze…”I do so swear to you…upon my Father’s name…by my own honour…with the rights and responsibilities as a Knight of the Crimson Order...and as an advisor to Her Majesty, Queen Edfeil of Windstorm…that no harm shall EVER come to Sarah by my hand…and further…that no other shall grace my thoughts…no other shall EVER be put before her…that I will always treat her with the honour and respect that she deserves…So swears Dorian Hawkmoon….with my humble thanks to you…”

Dorian HawkmoonWindstorm: Listening to the man knelt before him and nodding, lips curving into a smile slowly, seems his daughter wasn't the only one whose heart was lost. "Rise son...Let us see to the sstag, and then we can get back inside, where I am certain someone is missing you...I would ask you to make her happy, but I think you are already ahead of me on that front..." Laughing quietly as he finishes his drink and offers you a hand up.

ALL: And still as things are being prepared..the stories continued. She had told them about how his smile had changed through a course of time...of how they talked ...but she wouldnt let them know of certain things..that were entrusted pon her ...that realy had no place to be spoken of. What mattered the most was how her heart felt for him..and how she could see it in his eyes...every day..as if it were a growing tree beneath the kiss of sunlight...how the limbs reached and wanted for more of its over flowing warmth...that was how her heart felt ...and she had no doubt that Dorian felt the same way. The giggles did flow...Cora had even snuck a peek out from the back door..leaving it cracked enough so that she could over hear thier deep tones..relaying to Sarah the things said...Her mother seemed to be beside herself...she felt..and could tell ...that Sir Hawkmoon would protect her daughter...to always look over her and to be sure that she would have a most glorious long happy life...The chatter of thier voices kept low ..a melody that floated pon teh kitchen air as Sarah continued to share the stories....all that which come up to this very point...they shared hugs...there were tears of happiness ...and many words of well wishes for her life that is now..on its way ..

Sarah TurcotteAlways rem: Retrieving teh stag from the back of Shade, he moved to follow David 'round to the back of the house so that the fresh meat could be readied. It had been long...SO long...since he had felt so much in the way of joy....happiness....words that he almost had forgotten the meaning of. Once the stag had been deliverd to the firepit, he would go back inside with David...perhaps he would have other questions, perhaps not. He would anser the only way he knew how to...with candor and honesty. When his eyes would find Sarah, the samile would bloom....he no longer cared if he was scarred and that smile twisted....just a simple nod.....yes....and now, openly...infront of her family...he would reach for that delicate hand...take it into his own, and raise it to brush the lips softly to the back....a simple whisper...."I love you.."

Seeing...almost feeling in a way..the very happiness that radiates off your very expressions...already mirrored by her own as you stepped up...she never once seen the scars ..nor what you felt to be imperfections..but had always seen..and would always see..the man before her. The man that has her heart so completely. There is nothing on this planet that could convince her that this was not a match meant to be. And her smile sweetly melted into that loving one that always was just yours and yours alone to see. To recieve....Watching now as you lift her hand to your lips...feeling the brush of your lips pon her soft little knuckles...hearing hte whisper as if you spoke it so clearly pon a normal tone...feeling the heat of color slowly grace her cheeks as she now seemed to set those dark eyes of hers pon your own very striking blues...and a delicate tone would emerge..softly blessed with the emotions of her heart and soul..that would never faulter in any way...for you..."I love ye to ...Dorian.."
