Husband of Onyx ([@Vesuvius00]) and Amalia ([@Belle])
Interacting with Onyx ([@Vesuvius00]) & Amalia ([@Belle])[/center]

As his two brides climbed into the bed next to him, Wilhelm raised his hand and wish a brief swoosh conjured a pair of small breezes to extinguish the torches on the wall, plunging the room into darkness. He felt little need to assert himself upon either of the Gems, not that night. There would be a time and place for all things, and while the time was yet to be truly determined the place would certainly be in his castle where he held his dominion. So he simply laid there, observing the two of them as they drifted off. They both shifted their positions for some time seeking comfort, but at long last they both stopped moving and took on sleeping breaths. Only then, was he was certain they were both soundly dreaming, did Wilhelm close his own eyes for the night. 

Many hours later he opened them again as the sunrise's fingertips crept in through the window. Both brides were still in the bed, as he knew they would be, and as he roused himself he moved very carefully so as to not brush either of them out of the bed by accident. He made his way out to the living area of the house, where his servant was already at work preparing the table for breakfast. With naught but a nod of his head Wilhelm moved past him and out to the front. Stationed there was a large enclosed carriage, black in color with the crest of his house on the sides, pulled by a pair of powerful horses. Alongside them was another horse, this one a massive destrier as black as night that dwarfed the horses assigned to the carriage, fully saddled- Wilhelm's personal steed. Another servant greeted him, and for several minutes they discussed the travel plans for the day.

[b]"There's been reports of a landslide blocking Bloodrock Pass,"[/b] the servant said, [b]"If that's true we'll have to find another way."[/b]

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Then we shall take an alternate route through the marsh,"[/b][/color] Wilhelm responded.

[b]"Would continuing along the highroad not be faster, my lord?"[/b]

[color=9e0b0f][b]"It would, but there are always spineless cowards who seek to steal brides away rather than earn them. That a landslide has conveniently blocked a primary point of passage to the south at this time suggests to me that it was no accident,"[/b][/color] Wilhelm asserted, [color=9e0b0f][b]"And if I'm right the intent will be to drive travelers to the highroad. Open spaces, sparse visitors, plenty of places to stage an ambush. And I am not in the mood to deal with such things. We will travel across the marsh, and that will be that."[/b][/color]

[b]"As you wish."[/b]

With that dealt with, and another matter to keep his mind occupied, Wilhelm turned and re-entered the abode. The scent of cooking meat filled the air, and based on that he concluded breakfast was not long in coming. Moving swiftly, he opened the bedroom door once more.

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Rouse yourselves,"[/b][/color] he ordered, his voice growing louder but unchanging in pitch or intent, to his brides, [color=9e0b0f][b]"Breakfast will be ready shortly, and then we will depart."[/b][/color]

When Onyx and Amalia came to the living area they would find a square wooden table, laid with three sets of plates and utensils. Wilhelm sat behind one, already slicing into his meal- a side of meat lightly crisped with a chunk of bread off to the side that was mirrored on the remaining two plates. 

[color=9e0b0f][b]"Come, sit,"[/b][/color] Wilhelm said between bites, [color=9e0b0f][b]"While it remains hot."[/b][/color]

[hider=Summary]
Wilhelm sleeps then wakes up. He talks with a coachman about a possible route change for the trip home, then goes and wakes the girls for breakfast.
