A Summer Buffet

[Ram]

“I mean, do what you want…” The scent of freshly blossomed roses mingled with his words of reply to the Succubus. “Don’t wait to be assigned. You desire to help. Just help.” He smiled a bit at her request “Go ahead and ask.” Even among Freehold members he didn’t promise anything, but he was willing to hear . Probably even do.

Ram gave a gravelly grunt in acknowledgement of Circe’s comment. Was it a challenge? Or was she just excusing not doing it herself. What ever the case, it was essentially permission.

He smiled politely as the Summer Queen gathered up a meal. He still wasn’t sure what his role was here but it was probably best to wait to get food until after Circe had a full plate.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

A quick light chuckle escaping her as the monkey took a quick moment away from food to answer her.
"Not much time left now."

Eyes going back to Ram.
"Ohh I think I was misunderstood a bit there, still not that strange seeing how lightly I touched the subject." Looking a bit embarrassed as she speaks in a low voice towards him "Would you mind lifting me up by the waist, throwing me up a little in the air, catch me and put me down?" He was certainly big enough to be able to lift her and it always looked so nice whenever she saw it in movies.

Eyes caught upon the new treats Circe was brining out.
"Now that's some nice edible treats, vegetables and is that plantain? Haven't had that in a while." Giving Circe two thumbs up "Good additions."

[Circe]

Clearly Sonja was too busy gorging herself to pay attention to the hostess. Which made sense, Circe had told everyone to gorge themselves. Was just coming back to bite her right now. With a shrug, the Larcenist returns to the crowd with her victuals.

Returning with a plantain between her lips, Circe quickly swallows it. "I am not sure we ain't gonna end the evening trying to wrangle a sugar hyper Beast. Fair warning at everyone. I hope I packed my tranq gun."

"Thanks Yammy, I am not only a badass in battle, online, and in the shop," she pops a meatball next as it is easy to devour, "But am a kickass chef. Only made the S'mores tonight though. Catering discount fer the win."

She looks back and forth between the duo, curious as to what they'd been talking about. Circe felt no need to give Ram permission to begin building a Summer Hollow. If he stuck around, her stuck around and she'd add onto it. If not? She'd continue working upon her personal armory for making stuff.

She wasn't going to be stuck doing everything for two Hollows at the same time. That'd be all kinds of not fun. So she ate a little more of her food whilst Ram and Yamiyo did whatever it was that they were doing.

[Ram]

Ram cleared his throat at Lillich’s request, sounding a bit like a gravelly growl. It hadn’t been at all what he expected. “I ain’t as good at catching things I throw, in general.” he admitted. Sure he had thrown siege stones at castle walls. Punched through cannonballs as they hurtled towards him. But catching required finesse, not strength. “But if that’s what you want.” Though he didn’t quite see what it had to do with her previous comment. And even if he messed up Titania was right there. Plus the rosen Spring was in her court for a reason. If this is what she wanted? Why not give it to her?

He held out both large hands at waist height for her to step into. If she chose.

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Lightly laughing towards the joke as she goes of to get herself a small plate of various veggies before returning.
"Now that sounds dangerous, then again we have all seen her eat more than this before."

Slowly smiling towards the Queen.
"Ohh you are? We have long tried to get a night to learn the skills of cooking perhaps you should teach those in the freehold that wants to learn? What are your specialties?" She herself not much to speak of in the kitchen but it was easy to make smoothies from recipes at least.

Placing away the platter for a moment and walking into his large hands.
"Just a light toss you silly, not high three or four inches from your hands is plenty. Think of how you throw a small baby when you play with them. More of lifting up, letting go, pull your hands down and catch me a couple of inches lower."

Yamiyo weighs slightly below 100lbs and is really small so she should be easy for Ram to lift.

[Circe]

The antics of the pair get Circe to raise her left eyebrow and ear. Crimson orbs dance on a sea of oil as her eyes dart around, calculating.

The Summer Queen takes three big steps back and keeps eating. Dinner and a show!

[Ram]

Ram sighed a little, chewing his lower lip before acquiescing. He really didn't want to hurt the Romancer. It felt like a real possibility given how light she was in his hands. He did his best to heft her into the air without sending her into the roof. Which again, felt like a real possibility. The Ogre sent her a few inches into the air.

And as she descended, his fears were made manifest. This rough fingers trembled as he tried not squeeze to hard. Not break her ribs or accidently rip her dress. Yet in his care he fumbled the easy catch.

3 days to go folks, get ready to wrap up

[Yamiyo Lillich]

Smiling as she is being lifted, laughing lightly whilst in the air only for the all to quick and sudden fall his hands not ready for the catch and the fall hurting.
"Aouchh"

Slowly getting back up, feeling a bit sore from the pain before looking to Ram.
"Next time we do that with some padding under, thanks for indulging me."

[Ram]

“Ah crap,” Ram stuttered looking very concerned “Are you alright? I said I wasn’t as good at catching.”

He reached out briefly to try to help her up but pulled back when she looked to be doing it herself, as if afraid he might make it worse.

“You sure you’re okay?” Again the brief reach forward and withdrawal for fear of making things worse.

Ram felt like crap. He hoped she wasn't too hurt.
