"Well yes I know silly" John tries to repress a laugh at the word hammered as he followed nym out the door. Now he felt a little excited wondering what nyms family will be like when he meets them "Why the plane ride their though?"
Nym bubbles at John's own excitement "You can't get to the island any other way. It's hidden behind some clouds and a mirage spell." Nym unlocks Raimond and hops in. She then begins to find directions to the private airport.
John gets in the car and starts to hum then laughs again "That sound like that movie with King Arthur with that magical island. That sounds so amazing!" John shifts in his seat getting comfortable as he waited for nym to find directions
Nym smiles "If you say so." Nym finds the directions and begins to drive "So, it is mandatory you meet the couple that raised me and my siblings. They will be the ones you'll meet as soon as we get off the plane. Their names are Eierya and Emma. Eierya speaks fluently Italian and Emma speaks Irish, Latin, and Greek. I think you'll like them, then you'll have to meet the heads of the coven. Now, from the moment we breach the mirage spell they will be able to sense your aura and it's purity and how connected you are to me; so meeting them in the grand hall will be easy. They'll already know who you are so don't feel shocked. I'm sorry, I'm overwhelming you aren't I?" Nym frowned at the road as she drove following th turns directed by the GPS
John nods as he absorbed the fast information nym was giving him "How are they able to know me already? And what exactly makes me pure? And it's okay….it might take me a bit with the people and how many there are going to be" John turns and gazes at nym as she drove
"They are really powerful, nearly all casters can sense auras; it's part of the job description." Nym chuckled nervously "It's not really what makes you pure or not pure, it's like a scale almost. I'm not sure how it works. There won't be many people it's mandatory to talk to, but it's an entire village that watched me grow into the woman I am. If you don't mind could we stay until tomorrow afternoon or do you have stuff to do at home?"
"No, I tied up everything at work and Megan will be fine as I have been gone for long periods of time due to my job. And I don't mind if we stay for that long if you really want to." John frowns and rubs his face as he glanced out the jeep window taking in the landscape "I might have been nervous before, but now I feel excited!"
"Then, why are you frowning hun?" Nym pulls up to a dirt road and drives against the uneven and winding path
"I was wondering if I should have shaved is all. Are you sure this road is safe?" John reaches out and touches nyms shoulder as he looked at the uneven dirt road
"I like the scruff, very handsome. Yes John, I'm very sure it's safe." Nym chuckled at John's uneasiness as she pulled into a wide open lot. A few yards out was the plane they were about to board. Nym drove up to it and stopped a few feet away. After turning the car off and grabbing her phone she hopped out of the car and began to walk up to a short, well-groomed man "Hello Carl, how are you?"
Carl: "Doing well Miss Tuir, and you?"
"I was fine until just now, how many times do I have to tell you? Please, call me Nym."
Carl: "Perhaps once more Miss Tuir." Carl smiles widely and looks over in John's direction "Your plus one?"
"Yes, Carl this John." Nym turns to John and holds out her hand for him "John, this is Carl my personal pilot and occasionally security."
John scoffs softly then gets out of the jeep he then inspects the man nym was talking and he frowns getting an odd feeling from him. John then grabs nyms hand twining his fingers with hers once he got up to her side to stand next to her "Hello, it's nice to meet you Carl."
Carl:He looks at their intertwined finger and forces a smile "Please, the pleasure is mine." Carl looked back at Nym "I'll have the car back at your house, shall we?"
Nym smiles politely at Carl, then begins to climb the steps to the plane "We shall, please tell me Emma stocked the liquor."
Carl laughs "Yes she did."
Nym looks back at John and winks, then busts into laughter. Once in the plane she gestures for John to sit down in one of the large seats
John frowns again at Carl then he climbs up into the plane after nym smiling at the sound of nyms laughter as he sat in the chair that nym gestured at "So how long does it take to reach the island? And I might regret saying this, but carl is giving me a awful odd feeling" John shakes his head slightly dismissing his next thought not wanting to ruin nyms good mood
"Hmmm, usually three and a half hours. Maybe two." Nym sat in his lap "What kind of feeling do you get from Carl, love?" Nym reached toward the table that was in front of them and plucked a few grapes from their vine and popped one in her mouth and offered another to John
John squints then leans in and rests his head up against nym and he opens his mouth accepting her offer of a grape. John then places a hand on nyms inner thigh and traces circles with his thumb "hmmm…I am not sure…It might be nothing so there is no reason to worry about it. And what are we to do to pass time for three hours love?"
Nym places the grape in his mouth and blushes when John places his hand on her inner thigh "I know there is something he wants from me, but I declined him so many years ago. I didn't think anyone else noticed. But, I'm not sure. What do you want to do for the next three hours? I have board games and card games here, we could watch a movie or we can transcend." Nym laughs at her small joke
John chews the grape slowly savoring the flavor then he replies in a quite tone upon nym telling him about carl and what they could do on the plane "I would love to play a game with you…although I have to admit that I am not so great at complex card games. That is why megan always wins game night when she picks poker." John laughs at nyms small joke and places a gentle kiss on nym shoulder
Nym giggle and reluctantly gets up, crossing the plane to a long cabinet. She pulls out a deck of card and walks back toward John. She stops, turns back around and grabs a bottle of Jack Daniel's "I need alcohol if I'm going to remain sane on this flight." Nym sits in the seat in front of John and shuffles the cards "Let's play King's corner."
"Remain sane? Do you not like flying on planes?" John frowns then motions for nym to come back to him and sit in his lap "Are you any good at card games?"
"I'd rather be using my wings, but it's my fear of falling. If I'm using my wings I'll know if I'm falling and I can catch myself versus not being able to break out of a tin casket." Nym smiles at John, gets up, and sits on his lap again "I'm very good at card games, especially this one." Nym takes a swig of liquor, then sets up the game with seven cards for each person and the remaining cards in the middle. She then places the first four cards on each side of the deck "The game. It's ultimately a multiplayer solitaire game. Kings go in the corners and you count from king to ace. Since I am the dealer you pick up a card from the stockpile."
John smiles then reaches out and takes a card out of the stockpile as nym said to do then he raises an eyebrow at nym unsure what to do next "I have a feeling that I am going to royally screw up this game" John laughs then waits for nyms next instructions
Nym laughs and kisses John's temple "It's okay, now look at the table, you have a two of spades, a five of hearts, a four of clubs, and a nine of hearts. You have a few options, if you have a king anywhere in your deck put it in a corner, if not then place a card with a value below the current facing card. Or you can rearrange card on the table, for example place that four on that five." Nym points at the cards as she explains making sure she comes across clear
John frowns then sighs then he grins as an idea comes to him with how he wanted to play. John then starts to royally mess up on how to play the game trying hard to not laugh as he did it "Am I doing it right, now?"
Nym laughs and lightheartedly jokes "Hun, let's settle for a movie. Explaining this will be really hard." Nym kisses his temple again
John laughs loudly then he sets his cards down and nuzzles nyms neck pulling her in closer "Yes please…..I am sorry that I am sorry I am so bad at card games love"
