Alas, Ben &
Corrine don't. I have OOC temptations to mess with that kind of drama, but it doesn't fit Corrine's character. Perhaps if she meets a sticky end, I'll play someone more amenable. I also detected a modicum of distaste from Nathan when Jon said he fancied a threesome with her and Nathan.

If Corrine were to walk into his brothel tomorrow, he wouldn't even hesitate. He is a professional, and he takes his job seriously.

Outside of that, he is at a Friendly Disposition with Corrine, so he would consider it, but not without Ben either being okay with it or participating.

Nathan and Jon have an unspoken agreement that both must be Amiable towards any third parties (not a problem, I think with either Corrine or Ben). Of course, both can sleep with whoever they want to separately.

[[Yes. I do actually think about this stuff. ]]

Wow! I am way late to the party. And another name to add to the list that think about this stuff.

The seeds were sown in the prelude to this Chronicle:

Nathaniel Mason wrote:Nathan rises as well. "
Do not confuse chivalry with celibacy my friend. A few moments of pleasure between two people need not be any more than that, and Lysette will certainly have no further expectations. That does not mean it can't be romantic, however fleeting."
Nathan ran a light finger down one of the scars of the Knight's arm. You are obviously well acquainted with the pains life can bring, the pleasures of life can be far more elusive. Especially if one actively avoids them."


With a smile to Ben, and a glance to Davydd, Nathan retires for the evening.

"
The truth is, Nathan's a romantic too."
grins the sell-sword. "
He just has a much broader definition than the rest of us."

A fleeting memory plays through Ben's mind from long ago. A visible shiver passes down his spine, the touch, the memory or both. He shakes it off, with warming smile. His eyes divided between Lysette and Nathans departure. He then looks to Davydd. "
I think he may be able to sell sand to a Dornishman!"

Ben was half tempted to follow Nathan at the very point.

Now I almost regret not doing a Seduce Intrigue with him.

Ben has that sweet, sword-wielding, teddy bear vibe going on.

Don't be fooled. Knight in the streets, wildling in the sheets. :;

Baelon wrote:It could precipitate the fall of House Marsten, too - though that's if it goes the worst possible way at multiple junctures. Though based on Corrine's reaction to the mere rumor of Ben cheating on her, the actuality of it would probably be worse... and especially because she sees Nathan as her friend, so it would be a double betrayal.

Really though, if Baelon can keep it is his pants, Ben ought to be able to do so as well. I mean, he's not even a bastard.

Nathan: Hold that thought. <

Corrine? Ben wants to sleep with me. Is that okay?

Baelon wrote:I'm not sure if Isobel would have a heart attack or cackle with glee, overhearing all that.

For you Baelon I will remind everyone, misery/war acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. Notice the plural. :;

Your fluctuations between enthusiasm and mild outrage are entertaining.

Baelon wrote:Baelon sighs.

"
I feel like neither is a good answer... but for my sake, I would prefer if you were there. Just... go easy on her. Let's assume she is an unwitting pawn pressured to marry into a family she hates and simply seeking some comfort and acceptance. If it turns out she has wickedness in her heart we can find a suitable punishment for her then."
