She had gone to the Outback to do her shift after the Challenge matching between Cassius and Damien. She couldn't help the tears that flowed down her cheeks when she thought of how Cassius had lost his ring. One of her few best friends had lost something he held so dear to him and that made her hurt for him and made her angrier then she'd been in a long time at
Damien. So she started her shift with a bottle of scotch and not to many duelers. Getting more and more intoxicated as the night went on. Marius coming in later in the evening. Just as intoxicated as she was and it just got a lot more interesting as the night progressed.

Marius and she sharing the bottle of Scotch after he finished his bottle of Gin. It was definately an interesting time to try to be working as she was seeing six duels instead of the three she really had. The two of them dead drunk and amazingly still conscious, Lisana asked Marius if she could keep his Baronial ring that he had tossed to her and she had put on her finger. He being just as drunk replied only if she married him . So it was that with
more alcohol then either should have rightly drank Marius was drunkenly asking her to Marry him and in her drunken state she accepted. Wearing his Baronial ring on her finger and the two were quite lovey dovey on the callers couch. Marius whispering sweet nothings to her and curled up against her lap as she held him tight to her. The alcohol definately having its say in their actions as they cuddled and kissed until her shift was over. At that point
Marius summoned Fyn to perform the ceremony and it was sweetly done. With a few of the remaining duelers staying as witnesses. The ceremony one of drunken comedic value with quite a few heartfelt professings by Marius and Lisana to one another. Both of them still drinking from that Scotch bottle throughout the whole ceremony. When it was all said and done they were married and she was now Lisana Marie Colestae'. Wearing Marius's Baronial ring of the
2nd on her left ring fingers as her wedding ring. The two of them retiring to Marius's villa for the honeymoon.

The night passing with passioned screams and loving words before the two finally collapsed against each other and simply passed out. Having no true clue as to what they have done or the consequences they will face. Only knowing the drunken happiness and immense pleasures that were shared that night.

Baron Gaius Marius Colestae', awoke in the morning from strange dreams. As he lay face down in bed his thoughts were jumbled. They were so jumbled that attempting to make some sort of narrative out of them would prove well nigh impossible but I'll try.

"Oh dammit! Cas lost his ring. Sad day. Cas lost his ring. Ring? WHERES my ring?"

He looked down horrified at his hand. His ring was gone. He turned over quickly.

"PAIN" There... were claw marks running up and down his back. He was hung over, hypoglycemic, and physically exhausted.

"My Ring?" He groaned.

Then he noticed the sleeping figure beside him. "What did I drink?" He peered down at the serene face. "By Jove... Lisana?"

Patches of memory, flooded back from the previous evening. The light was hurting his eyes. "Gin. Kisses. Scotch. A proposal. A drunken, Scottish Vicar. An unconscious best man. Vows. Passion. Pain."

"This is a dream Centurion," Marius said to himself. "This is a dream." He dug his face back into his pillow. "This is a dream."

He was unsure wether he wanted to wake up.

Lisana rolled over in the bed and a soft groan of pain left her lips. Everything from her hips down felt like it had been put through a Marathon for three days. A soft whimper leaving her lips as she rolled over, snuggling closer to that warm body next to her. Her face burrowing between the bed and Marius's shoulder to try to shut out the light.

"Oh god." The words groaned out as the pain in her head overwhelmed her. She felt like she was going to die. Just flat out die from the pain in her body. Her tongue felt like a huge ball of cotton shoved into her mouth and her head hurt so bad she was seeing stars when she opened her eyes. This was why she didn't drink.

The odd feeling of a ring on her finger and the definate difference in the defining curves of the body beside her bringing her to sit up slowly so that she didn't end up running for the toilet. Her eyes peeking open just as slowly and she looks down at her hand. Recognizing it as a Baronial ring, but not Zens. No wait it was Marius's. Marius's! What it in the?!!!

Her eyes darting to the body beside her and she lets out a soft cry. "Marius, oh my god!" Her eyes closing quickly and her brow wrinkles as she tries to remember what happened. Her head pounding all the more with the effort. Another soft whimper of pain from her lips as it starts to come back to her.

She and Marius drinking to put the town liquor distributors out of business, Fyn...the Vicar.....the vows.....the promise to love, honor and cherish Marius through all things. Swearing it before God and she just sinks lower into the bed. A tear running down her cheek to the pillow before she looks at him once more.

Her voice so quiet. " Marius......are you awake?" Perhaps hoping somewhat that he isn't but she knows he is.

" Your my............husband." Her voice rather weak and trembling as she bites her lip and she just has to check. The sheets lifted up and she drops them quickly. " Oh dear......that's why I'm so sore."

She would laugh at this whole situation but its a bit to serious and she is really really worried about how he's handling it.

It had been a dreaded night. It had taken her forever to walk from the villa where Marius had left her to dress on her own and think. She desperately needed to think. It was not one of the better situations that she had landed herself in, in the few centuries that she had been alive. It was one of the most awkward and indeed one of the most disturbing at the moment. She didn't drink for a
reason, no for a few reasons. One being it never took long for her to get intoxicated and then she drank to stay that way. Two she would always lose control of herself. Something she so desperately hated.


Finally making her way to the Arena, she decided to check there first for Marius and Zen. Oh did she have a lot of explaining to do to Zen. But her head was still pounding as if a few hundred marching bands were stomping through it. It was hard to think and get her thoughts straight to try to figure out what she was going to say to Zen. Seeing Marius first as she stepped awkwardly and stiffly off that last step into the Arena. Watching him walk over
to her and talking softly to him as they spoke of what had to be done and how it would be done. Neither leaving the other alone to face the consequences of their actions. This was the only sane part of the evening.

Lisana moved over to where Zen was with Marius following her. Gently telling him that she needed to speak with him and he saying the same in return. She knew she had to get it all out quickly, at least the first part. So she stumbled over the sentence telling him that she and Marius had gotten drunk and ended up getting Married.The events quickly becoming distorted and ugly after that. Everyone started yelling at everyone else, Sid quickly losing her
temper at what she had just overheard. Dear Cassius trying to keep everyone else out of it so that Zen, Marius and Lisana could talk. Cas's pleas and wise words falling on deaf ears. Names being slewn all over and the yelling was quickly deterioriating her ability to think. Sid decking Marius and that aroused her anger to new heights. Though she did control it. Trying to keep from going into a frenzied state of rage that could take her weeks to
return from. She and Marius finally leaving the Arena and heading for the outback after she had cried softly into his chest. THings had not gone as well as she had hoped and she had forgotten to apologize to Zen with all the angry yelling and name calling.

Marius taking her to the Outback where she felt more at ease and at home. They spent their time there trying to relieve some of the stress of the whole situation by dueling each other in a rather new style. One which to tell the truth she enjoyed so much. Gentle playfulness and soft teasings going a long way with her at this point. Mar not doing a single thing to hurt her in the duel and he won by giving her a tummy raspberry which had her giggling
and squirming all over the mat beneath him as she lost with style and grace. The two of them retiring to the couch and speaking softly afterwards. She curled in his lap for the first time and held safely in his arms. A bit of relaxation coming to both of them for the moment.The night going all too quickly and in the end she gathered all her belongings into her pack from her room upstairs and headed out with him to the Arena once more to look for
Cassius.

She saw Zen, Sid and Rix when she and Marius entered. Choosing to ignore them for the time being as she tried to simply keep herself calm. Cassius entering not to long after she and Marius and the three of them got into a conversation. The not so subtle insults directed towards her and Marius from the other three not going unnoticed, though it was mostly directed at her. Things became heated once more but it was Cassius who stepped in to make a point
to the three gathered around the table. Marius stepping in as well and things steadily went downhill. She and Zen having a few words until he "dismissed" her with a wave of his hand. Though she did finally remember to apologize to Zen though it wasn't worth much to him or anyone else, she did what she needed to do.

Lisana's temper getting the best of her finally with all of Sid's snide remarks and she ended up walking over to her and decking the woman full force. Knocking her right out of her chair and onto the floor. More so for the fact that she decked Marius first and Marius wouldn't hit her back. Leaning over Sid she told her that if she dared lay a hand on Marius again she'd get more of the same from her. She would fight for what was hers and protect it,
friends and most assuradly her husband. Harsh words once more exchanged between the group and it finally got to be too much. Marius taking Lisana home to the villa.

When they got to the villa, Lisana moved directly to the bedroom and curled up on the bed. Crying softly into the pillow before Marius came to her and held her gently against his chest, soothing her tears with soft strokes of his fingers through her hair. Gentle kisses placed along her cheeks and down to the edges of her lips. Tenderness given where it is needed.

The night spent gently rediscovering each other in the light of sobriety. Soft cries and gentle whimpers filling the villa for half of the night before the lights burned down to leave the smaller frame of Lisana curled and wrapped up against the warm body of her husband. Hidden by his body and safely sleeping in his arms. They would face another day tomorrow, face the consequences of what had happened and the words that would be slung at them. But
for now they were content to rest together. As husband and wife. Lost to dreams amidst the soft sounds of the night.
