🎁 (for Gann)

Send 🎁 and I will tell you what my muse gave yours!

Mike didn't know the guy well but it was just good form to share gifts around the workplace. Back at Quantico, he would rely on Secret Santa to decide who to buy for. But undercover as a... dancer made things a little more complicated.

Mike was playing the role of a too-eager newbie, desperate for experience and money. It made sense that he'd try to butter up the boss. So he left a card and a new tie for Jared - a man he only briefly met once - with Gann.

But the next day, Mike arrived at the club (ready for the Christmas crowd) with an armful of gifts for the other guys. In the staffroom, he distributed a tiny giftset to each and a box of candies to share among them. He had set a budget that seemed reasonable for his cover of about fifty dollars.

Gann was the exception. 'To pay you back for all the work you put in with me,' Mike explained as he handed him a wrapped present. Inside was a pair of tickets to a show being performed at a theatre downtown. He told him that a friend was performing in it, to explain how he could afford them.

As much as he hoped this would soften everyone up to his cover - and give him better leads - something in Mike was desperate for Gann's approval.

The Dragon Reborn, Chapter 33 - Within the Weave

(THIS PROJECT IS SPOILER FREE! No spoilers past the chapter you click on. Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index and a primer on The Wheel of Time, read this one! Like what you see? Send me a Ko-Fi.)

(Wheel icon) In which, hey, we were warned about this weren't we?

PERSPECTIVE: Perrin stares down at what's become known as the Lugard Road, near the Manetherendrelle river and the border of Murandy. Moiraine said this road had been paved, long ago, and sometimes paving stones work themselves up out of the ground. This one's different.

Perrin would have said it was a footprint of a large hound, if dogs could leave footprints in stone. There are no footprints in any of the rest of the dirt, though, just a faint trace of sulphur in the air. Maybe some kids stole a firework from the village nearby and set it off here. Dogs don't just make footprints in stone.(1)

Moiraine's been pushing them hard since leaving Jarra village. Loial wonders that Perrin can't sleep, but Perrin can't explain that he doesn't dare sleep soundly, because of the dreams. He remembers the one with Egwene and Hopper in it, and hopes Egg is doing well at the Tower. He figures Verin will look after her, and after Mat. He doesn’t think Nynaeve needs looking after, she’s more the kind you need looking after because of.

They've found more traces of Rand's passage, like a village burned entirely to cinders. The townspeople say a lantern dropped in a barn started it, and then everything went wrong: half the buckets in the town had holes in them, every burning wall fell out instead of in spreading the fire to the next houses over, and when the inn started to fall, the flaming timbers tumbled in such a way as to surround the main well, so they couldn't draw water to fight the fires anyway after that.

But a couple of untouched villages later, they find one where a spring in the village common is flowing after a year of failed wells and no water source closer than a mile away. Three villages after that, one where every well in town went dry the night before. Another where the crops were as poor as any can remember, but the mayor found sacks of gold that Moiraine says were minted in Manetheren.

Perrin wonders how so many evil things can happen in the Pattern as Rand moves through it, and Moiraine says the Creator is good, the Dark One is evil, but the Pattern is neither and both. A pattern that's all one colour is no pattern.(2)

As they approach the village of Remen, sitting on the Manetherendrelle, Perrin scents something Wrong, but not a Trolloc or a Myrddraal. Unrelated to that, there's a man crouched in a small iron cage, and children are throwing rocks at him. Loial and Perrin agree that someone should stop them. Something about the man tweaks Perrin's recognition.

Everyone in the inn is dressed as if it's a festival day. The innkeeper says some Hunters for the Horn found adventure right nearby, just up the river, fighting wild Aielmen. Imagine, Aielmen, in Altara! Perrin realizes that's what he recognized about the man in the cage. He also remembers Min's vision of an Aielman in a cage, a turning point in his life.(3)

Perrin asks how the Aielman came to be in the cage, and the innkeeper gestures to one he names Lord Orban, a youngish man in a red coat, bandaged in multiple places. He says Lord Orban and Lord Gann faced twenty Aielmen with only ten retainers, six retainers died, and every man took injuries, Orban and Gann worst of all, but they killed many Aiel, and the rest fled except this one they managed to take prisoner.

Lan engages in a skeptical conversation with Orban and Gann, and Moiraine sharply asks to be shown to their rooms. The crowd murmurs about "Lady" and "Ogier" as they pass through, but Perrin feels one pair of eyes in particular, the only woman in the room not in the local fashion of lace, standing apart from the rest of the patrons, in a plain dark grey riding dress. She's no older than Perrin, and tall for a woman. He's sure she's staring at him and him alone as they leave the common room.(4)

=====

(1) Are you familiar with the mythology this is from? Isn't it funny that Perrin would run into a dog-themed problem? (2) It's interesting that we need to keep reiterating that the Pattern, itself, is neither good nor evil. Like the Force, it has to balance itself out somehow. (3) What will become of this Aielman? Who is he, and why is he important to Perrin's story? (4) And whomst-a are youmst-a?

[adsagsona]

Gann was about to raise himself as well to go to the bedroom with Kit, but then she plopped back down and wanted to talk. 'Talk' was usually not good in Gann's books but since Kit looked like she wanted to get some things out, he lowered himself again as well so that he could listen.

He listened to Kit explain that she would be going on to the next guy to con and he shrugged. "I'm not the jealous type." He answered because that was completely true. "We can definitely do this again, more than once as well... I hope that you'll be ok with me seeing other women for work."

She knew what he did as a job as well, she'd seen him at work more than once. "Do you want us to be exclusive?"

"Bed sounds a great plan" she agreed, already raising herself to get up. Then, she stopped and laid back down, her eyebrows quirking together. "I think maybe, I need to ask you some stuff, say some things, before this goes any further though, if that's okay?".

There was a reason she didn't do things like this too often. Sex was all well and good but 'being' with someone that you liked, spending time with them that was more than just a quick shag, that meant having to explain what she did for a living, even when it was someone like Gann, who already knew......kind of.

"Sherman is done but........I'll be moving on to another job soon. Which means another man as a mark. I said I'm not done with you, meaning I want us to do this again but I have to know, will you be okay with me seeing other men for my work and still doing this with you, even though you and I is a totally different thing to what I do with them?".

[grandhotelabyss]

Excellent Weekly Readings this week, John. It's inspired me to the below thoughts, a systematically intuitive rhapsody (apologies for some of my sloppiest prose):

I think the aim of artistic education (i.e., education of the artist rather than the aesthete) is to systematically expand one’s intuitions. Note *both* words — not merely to expand haphazardly, nor to systematise your imagination, but to take a dedicated approach to expanding the areas that you can feel your way through. Building a structure of similarities and differences, viewed from a hundred different angles, which becomes so natural that your taste can intuitively (usually unconsciously) run through it when you begin to work.

Because art education is extension of this awareness, criticism is central to it, in that it provides an example of/foundation for your own map, which is of course unique, but will coincide in a thousand ways with other people's, and perhaps — if you are a great imaginative poet — differ in a few truly new ways. The construction of your own poetic ancestry, as you keep talking about on the Invisible College, could be seen as one end goal of all this.

I have so far gone fairly deep into this process for music (where I think Kyle Gann might be the only consistent systematic-imaginist, though David Schiff's 'The Ellington Century' and Joseph Kerman's 'Opera As Drama' also qualify) and literature (where you have been a wonderful guide, and we can turn to many others from Aristotle to Shelley to Wilde to Frye to Paglia). I'm trying to start it for visual arts, where there are again a multitude of useful guides — art critics and 'art schools' generally being better, which is why half my friends are visual artists; while attempts in film have been hampered by its youth as an artform (Eisenstein and Deren probably come closest, but their insights were about a quarter of the way through cinema history, and so necessarily limited). I would love to hear other people chime in about other artforms!

But as you say, all of these can only point us towards maps, so above all we must read, listen, watch, gaze, wear, taste, smell and feel our way around the real world of art, guided but unhampered by even the most imaginative of maps. Theatre, for example, has its Virgils too — Aristotle again, Artaud, LeCoq, Mamet — but I have learned more from performing Shakespeare than from any of them. Is my idea of art, then, a mystical-scientific religion? I would say no, for religion is an offspring of art, a boundary-setting around a certain part of this kind of systematic imagination.

One final key point: a systematic intuition is, of course, a contradiction. If it wasn't, we'd be doing science, not art. Without contraries there is no progression!

Thank you, very well said! Sometimes I think the questions I receive about what or how to read are about how to begin this process of expanding intuition. My advice is usually just to jump in anywhere that looks inviting, but you are of course correct that criticism helps us navigate once we're "in." And then there's the Wildean argument that criticism and art are co-extensive, the eras of great art also the eras of great criticism.

(I'm not actually sure about that. The great ages of criticism in English literature are the mid-18th and mid-19th centuries, nestled in the two gaps between the three explosions of the Renaissance, Romanticism, and modernism. The greatest American criticism was arguably written in the middle of the 20th century, between the high periods of modernism and postmodernism. Major criticism seems to happen in the aftermath of great creative periods as an attempt to explain what happened and to point the way forward. Even considering Wilde's own example of "the Greeks," Aristotle was born a century after Sophocles, just as Wilde's contemporary Nietzsche would stress the belatedness of Socrates's critical spirit in relation to the tragedians.)

Re: other art forms, yes, especially the younger ones. Comics has perhaps had its Aristotle in Scott McCloud, but there's much more to do, and the academic absorption of the form has been a been a bit misleading in its essentially literary and sociological preoccupations.

King Dollar?

In my twenty plus years of trading I have looked into every corner of technical analysis.  The MACD, RSI, Money Flows, Fibonacci sequence, GANN Method, Fractals, candle sticks, etc.…  Although each is useful in its own way, they never really explained the “Narrative.”  What do I mean by narrative?  The financial media likes to make references to supply and demand as an explanation of price…

THE JOURNEY OF BARRISS OFFEE (#115, MAR 2010)

You might be forgiven for believing that Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Barriss Offee is voiced by an English actress. In fact, the Padawan is played by U.S. Actress Meredith Salenger! Words: Jonathan Wilkins

Were you a fan of Star Wars when you went for the role?

I was a huge fan when the first movies came out. I remember Star Wars was the very first movie I went to that had a line to get in. My dad and I were a standing there and I was looking around the block, amazed at how incredibly long the line was. So I’m a fan, but I suppose not as big of a fan as most Star Wars Insider readers!

How long have you been a voice-over actor?

I’ve been doing it for about three years, so in the general scheme of things I’m pretty new. But I started acting when I was really young [At the age of 15, Salenger played the lead role in the Disney movie, The Journey of Natty Gann]. I had friends who did voice acting, but I didn’t realize you could do both.

When you got the role were you given any back-story for your character?

[The Clone Wars Supervising Director] Dave Filoni gave me an idea of who Barriss was. He explained to me that her background was developed in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Dave gave me a few books that were written around her character, and we talked about who she is, what her skills are, and what kind of person she is.

Barriss has an impeccable English accent, in fact, here at Star Wars Insider we were expecting to interview Kate Winslet!

When I was younger I thought I had a nice English accent, and when I was a teenager I did a movie in Australia for four months. I thought the Australian accent was fantastic and couldn’t stop doing it! When I tried to go back to a English accent I found it had been ruined, so I had to be really careful to keep them separate. I actually play another character later in the season who has an Australian accent. (cwa note: Ione Marcy in 2.11 Lightsaber Lost)

I’ve always been obsessed with accents, ever since I was little. Anytime I hear an accent that I like, I quietly imitate the person under my breath. So if I’m watching TV and I hear someone say something like, [in an English accent] “I thought that was beautiful,” I’ll just repeat what they said.

You work a lot on the show with Olivia d’Abo (Luminara Unduli).

She’s my Master!

You both started your acting careers in the early 1980s.

Yes, and the funny thing is I never really knew she was English because she has such a good American accent! I was telling her that it’s unusual when someone has a good American accent, because I know it’s difficult to get right. We joked with each other in our accents, “Well, you have a good English accent!” “Well, you have a good American accent!” She’s just a very cool, down-to-earth girl. We’ve run in to each other a bit over the years, and she’s lovely.

Do you have a favorite memory from working on the show so far?

Sometimes you’re missing a few of the actors when you’re doing a scene, and they’ll go back and record their characters later. But there was one day when we had every single character in the studio. So many of the voice-over actors have been doing this forever and have done some really famous characters like Tigger from Winnie the Pooh! (cwa note: Jim Cummings, voice of Hondo Ohnaka)

It was just fascinating to watch them go between [characters]. One person would be doing three characters in one scene and just banter back and forth “amongst” himself. It was just amazing! That was, I think, the most special thing, just to see everyone doing their work.

I thought my voice could only sound one way, and then I realized the braver and more courageous you become, the more voices you find within yourself. You just have to be free enough and not as self-protective or worried what people might think.

What sort of direction did you receive from Dave Filoni?

First of all, he knows everything about Star Wars. So if you have a question, he knows the answer! He explains things really well, so when he tells you about the scene that you’re doing, you really do feel like you’re there. We don’t record our voices to a screen showing the action, so we do need to know the physical nature of what we are doing. Dave’s so detailed in what he tells us, that he really makes the acting very easy.

Did the images in your head live up to what made it to the screen?

It’s incredible how much better it looks! I pictured it, and felt it, and I think the emotions come through, but I never expected it to be as intricate and as beautiful as the scenes turned out in the completed shows.

Barriss and Ahsoka are very different Padawans. Was that fun to play?

As I finished watching [“Weapons Factory”], I was thinking to myself how similar the relationship between Barriss and Ahsoka is to that of me and my sister! My sister is very much Barriss, and I’m very much Ahsoka.

Barriss follows the rules and does what her Master tells her. She studies hard and learns everything. When obstacles arise that aren’t in the playbook, she doesn’t really know what to do because she hasn’t learned to rely on her instincts the way Ahsoka has. I think they really do complement each other, because she’s learning so much from Ahsoka.

Star Wars can be such a guys’ world. Is it important to you that Barriss is a role model to young girls watching the show?

Oh, I think it’s cool. Ahsoka is so fun and so cute, and so many girls are into her. It’s interesting because a lot of my friends have little boys and they love that character, too.

I think when you see a girl who’s strong and independent and standing up for herself and not afraid to run with the boys, that’s a very appealing quality. I do think it’s important for girls to see that being brave and strong and smart are admirable qualities. I love that the two girls go off on the mission together, complete that mission, and do a good job. OK, they still have to be rescued by their Masters...but they would have gotten out somehow!

What facets of Barriss’ character you would like to explore if she returns in the future?

I like that she is becoming less rigid in her thinking. She’s so brave and willing to sacrifice herself for the good of everybody else, and I think that’s a really good quality. I think that as she grows and spends more time with Ahsoka, she’ll learn that there are other ways to get out of situations, that not everything has to be done the way she’s been taught. I think she can learn to be a bit more creative and be a better Jedi just by being more spontaneous, and creative and flexible in her choices.

Are you looking forward to seeing Barriss as an action figure?

I think it’s the coolest thing ever! I can’t wait to have one. I’ve been to San Diego Comic-Con and I’ve seen actors sign little action figure packages for the fans. I love that fans get excited about the characters, so I’m looking forward to that when it happens to me!

[adsagsona]

Gann wasn't sure what Riley wanted from him, they had of course only just met. Although, by the looks on their face, it seemed like he would not need to wait outside. "Would you like me to stay?" He asked then as he looked at the doctor. "I'm not family, but I found them... they were being attacked. I would like to make sure they're alright." Gann explained and the doctor nodded his agreement. "Please come in then, the both of you. Sit yourself down... are you able to stay upright?"

Sleep sounded great, but Riley fought their eyes open as they realized Gann had a point. When Gannicus said he'd wait outside, Riley looked torn. They really didn't want to be alone, but the other man had already done more than anyone could ask. "You...don't gotta stay," they mumbled after a moment, trying to act more sure than they felt.

Spotlight Post: Canon Soulmate Bonds

Yooo, this is a blog takeover, Mizzy here, ready to champion one of my favourite fictional causes: canonical soulbonds in the Marvel universe.

We all love a good soulbond fic. Words on your body, names on your wrist, red string of fate...so many glorious versions, and all of them *completely awesome*. The problem sometimes with starting a soulbond fic, though, can be all the worldbuilding required to make it work. But what if I was to tell you that no worldbuilding was necessary? That you could technically write a soulbond fic without having to set it in an Alternate Universe? What if you could set your soulbond fic *directly in main canon?*

Marvel 616 delivers you a canonical soulbond mechanic… not once… but at least *twice*. There could be more. There’s a lot of comics to go through and I’m only smol. But here’s the two I know about and I’m here to introduce you to today. :)

The was a ripple of mild confusion around fandom when Kevin Feige announced that the Eternals were getting a title movie in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Created by Jack Kirby in the 1970s, in a wild combination of mythological fascination and spite at DC comics for not letting him finish his New Gods saga, the Eternals were an offshoot of humanity, created by the Celestials for humanity’s protection; this reason for their existence would lead them into their ongoing conflict against the deadly Deviants. There have been a few Eternals runs (notably one run by Neil Gaiman, which did not serve to bring the Eternals the commercial success Marvel was searching for with the title, that nevertheless remains the most fun and accessible Eternals volume), but they’ve not yet really reached wide-reaching traction among even the most die-hard comic fans. The MCU might change that, and here’s hoping, because I love these nearly-immortal idiots, and I’m hoping not to be alone in that for much longer. :D

But even my Eternals-happy soul has to admit, Eternals canon for the most part is dense and can be convoluted, and the spellings—both of their character names and one of the main fun parts of their existence, the Mahd W’yry—are enough to give one a headache. The idea of the Eternals is that they’re long-lived and have interacted with human history over the years in various impactful ways. You might think at first glance that you’ve never heard of the Eternals Sersi, Ikaris, Makkari, but I think you wouldn’t find Circe, Icarus, or Mercury unfamiliar names.

The Mahd W’yry is a symptom of the Eternals being so long-living. In order to stop them going insane, the Eternals have to bond into something known as the Uni-Mind, which basically squishes all their consciousnesses together into one, where they can share memories and blend temporarily into one mind. Regularly bonding into the Uni-Mind allows them to stave off the Mahd W’yry. (Yep, that’s just a headache-inducing spelling of ‘mad worry’, we know.)

Anyway, did you need to know all this? Eh, maybe, a little bit of canned backstory is always handy for you to briefly glance over and promptly forget. Because along with some dense mythological adventures, some glorious angsting across beautiful landscapes, and that ability to turn into a big massive floating brain, the Eternals also gave us a beautiful gift:

The Gann Josin.

In Avengers #361, Ikaris comes down to Earth and decides that Sersi needs to be bonded to Dane Whitman, an Avenger who canonically didn’t have any powers, he was just a *really good guy*, destined for tragedy. Honestly. That’s his bio. Really good guy. Destined for tragedy. The character creation in the 90s was peak talent. Dane, sadly, was in love with another woman, but did this matter to Ikaris? No. Apparently the Eternals don’t know about the dangers of letting himbos like Ikaris have life-changing powers, like the ability to create the Uni-Mind. 

Because the power to control the Uni-Mind also gives an Eternal the power to form a Gann Josin bond. And that’s what Ikaris does in Avengers #361—he forces a Gann Josin bond on Eternal Sersi and tragic human Avenger Dane Whitman.

Gann Josin (sometimes Gan-Josin because what is spelling continuity in Marvel comics) is both the name of the bond, and the title given to an Eternal and their chosen life-mate. It has a bunch of cool side effects. Both Gann Josins get glowing full-red eyes. It’s a really intimate tiny form of the Uni-Mind (without the part where you become a big floating brain), and creates a small scale mental union. The Gann Josin bond makes the Eternal and their partner lifelong soulmates. As the bond progresses, it creates a telepathic/empathic bond that strengthens in time. According to the Eternal Sprite, humans are rarely chosen by Eternals for the Gann Josin.

Now, Dane Whitman does manage to break the Gann Josin several issues later. But… it’s not easy. It’s rare. When Dane manages it, it is called an “astounding act.” It’s pretty dang hard, in other words. There’s every chance your chosen Gann Josins won’t have the mental fortitude of Dane Whitman to break it. (Although, we’re talking about Steve and Tony, and are there any bigger stubborn idiots in the universe? Probably not.)

But Mizzy, I hear you saying. I don’t want to write about Ikaris, even if he is a party king and that sounds pretty nifty. I don’t know anything about the Eternals and I don’t want to go down that gnarly rabbit hole.

That’s totes fine, my friend. I am here to save you. Because in very recent canon, during Jason Aaron’s turn at the helm, the Eternals are all dead. Very dead. That whole Mahd W’yry thing got ‘em, it got ‘em good. But before Ikaris died, he granted his Uni-Mind power to someone we all know and love.

Yep. Tony Stark. Tony Stark currently has the power of the Uni-Mind.

Which means that Tony Stark can now Gann Josin people.

In Avengers #361, Ikaris performs the Gann Josin by basically just pointing his hands at Sersi and Dane and some light goes WHEEEEEEE!! in their direction, and bam, this rare and special bond is done. And Tony Stark can do that now. To anyone! Unfortunately Ikaris is dead and didn’t leave Tony with an instruction manual. But the point is, he *can*. You can make up all sorts of fun things with this canonical fact (or write your own version because lbr Canon Is Dead; Long Live Canon.)

There are so many possibilities. Does Tony deliberately learn how to use it so he can bond himself to Steve? Does Tony *need* to be able to hear Steve’s thoughts (to thwart some bad guys) and thus end up soulbonded forever to Steve in result? Is Tony’s power activating at random because he can’t control it, and he ends up soulbonding everyone around him? Does he just subconsciously bond himself to Steve without consciously meaning to? Do Tony or Steve want to try it for science?

Gosh, I love comics.

But WAIT. There’s MORE.

It’s not just 1990s comics going ham on the soulbond idea. No, we got some *this year*. Canonical soulbonding? TWICE? In one universe? Two different kinds??

And this time, it’s not in a D-list Marvel title. We’re up the ranks to the big leagues this time, folx, with a brief trek to the world of the Fantastic Four.

In Fantastic Four (Vol. 6) #15, we’re introduced to a Spyre citizen called Sky, a winged team member of the Unparalleled (more cosmic-powered superheroes), who work under The Overseer. (The Overseer, in a burst of beautiful retcon in the way Marvel comics keeps doing to us, is apparently the entity who is responsible for giving the F4 their powers. Huh. The more you know.)

On the planet Spyre, all children are brought before something called The Great Eye. This measures them against the radiation signature of everyone on the planet, divining who their perfect match is. 

Sky looked into The Great Eye, only to find out her match was Johnny Storm, who was 44 light-years away at the time. Long-distance relationships can be tough. Anyway, plot happens, the F4 get stuck on Spyre, get told they can’t leave, and Sky tells Johnny Storm that she is his soulmate. Oh, and she attached a soul binding onto him while he slept. Neat, huh, all the bodily autonomy people get in this universe before being force soulbond to people? So neat, much consent, wow.

Johnny feels a connection to Sky, which is supposed to let us know this lack of choice is a good thing I guess. The Overseer wants Sky to renounce Johnny and crush the F4 which obv doesn’t happen, so of course she leaves The Unparalleled and skips off to Earth to be with Johnny. 

Who knows how this relationship is gonna last. I mean, you can look at the rest of Johnny’s relationship history and have a good guess. Who knows. Anyway, Reed and Sue are each other's soulmate, and also share a “Soul Binding”, so there’s some canonical proof right there that maybe this system has some validity going for it.

The soulbond for this form takes the form of a golden bracelet worn on the upper arm, that Sky explains her people call a “Soul Binding”; it represents them as being soul-mates. This bracelet can only be removed by your soulmate. This soulbond doesn’t seem to come with any extra powers, it’s just to show that The Great Eye has measured their radiation signature and declared them a match that is supposed to mean they’re perfectly compatible in every way: spiritually, mentally, and physically.

I don’t know about you, but I have a pretty good feeling that Steve and Tony might just have matching radiation signatures… Or what if Steve and Tony have perfect matching signatures….with other people? (Someone else on Spyre believes Sky is *their* perfect match, after all!) What if Steve has feelings for Iron Man, but he’s a perfect match with Tony Stark? I feel faint already just thinking about it.

So here you go. Two canonical types of soulbonds for your fannish consideration. Feel free to ask me questions! You can find me on tumblr (@mizzy2k) or on discord (addy#0908).

Thinya looked at Gann and chuckled before shaking her head. "Oh you surely are teasing me and you know it, Gann." She smirked and walked inside of the penthouse. She looked around and for the first time in ages, she felt truly home. She loved her apartment, the stairs leading to the master bedroom. The leaving room giving the beautiful view of skyscrapers as well as the corridor leading to her own private spa. Now that Gann was here, she felt complete.

As she was now undressed, Thinya smiled and felt his kisses on her skin. She whispered: "I have a robe, yes. I have a private spa so I can definitely give you a warm robe and we can relax over there." She offered. "If you feel cold, I can activate the steam room also." Her smile grew wider. "Let me know which pizza you want and I will let our receptionist call the chef to receive our dinner." She explained before putting her clothes in the laundry basket.

While Gann didn't see much disadvantage in being drunk, he understood Thinya's reasoning. And he didn't mind it one bit either if he was honest. The situation he found himself in now was rather new but he could only hope he'd do ok.

"Me? Teasing? I wouldn't dare!" Gann gasped with a chuckle before he followed Thinya into her penthouse. He had been here before a few times but every time he was struck by how large and comfy it seemed. He pulled up an eyebrow at how she removed her clothing. "Yeah sure..." Gann murmured as he reached for Thinya and planted a few kisses on now exposed skin. "Do you have a robe for me or something I can wear for now?"
