A Bad Reputation (1x1 w/PoisonousIvee)

[PoisonousIvee]

When she seemed satisfied, he asked her politely to show her where the crates were that he would be taking before easily hauling them one at a time onto his shoulder to his wagon.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Impressive to say the least, she watched as he hauled the heavy crates around, finding the show fairly attractive

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He was incredibly attractive for a barbarian. She would date say she was interested in him already.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Kind, and caring. Handsome, tall, fit? Why were people so scared of his people? She wasn't. He stayed a bit longer, and the two of them were talking more and more, as she was the only one in town who would sell to him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Yer sure ye want ev'rythin' I have?" He asked when they meet again, "Not sure if anyone will wan' it."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. "I'd be more than happy to take whatever you have." She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded and looked into the wagon; all he had left now was tanned leather and some scrap.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was still glad to take it, but she didn't know why. Was it because she really wanted to see him again? Was it because she.. wanted his company? Wanted him? That her parents were trying to sell her off again?

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm not sure what's fair for this." He told her gently.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Uhm.. I'm.. sure I have something.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"It's mostly useless.." He remarked softly before looking down at her, "Perhaps yer c'mpany's fair?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"M-My company?" She asked. Was he interested too? Or just being nice?

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded, "Y' haft' know all th' best places t' eat. An' where t' get a hot bath."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She made a noise. Her family had a hot spring, and her parents were gone for a while. "W-Well, yes, actually.. there's a hot spring behind my home.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"A nat'ral spring?" He asked.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. "And I uhm.. well I think I still have some of those salted meats, I could trade a hot meal for some company.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He smirked a bit, "Fair's fair."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled and let him inside. She began cooking, cutting up the meat and preparing a stew. "The spring is in the back, if you want to have that before the food is ready.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I appreciate it, really.." He said before his heavy footfalls signaled his wordless retreat.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded and moved to prepare the food. After a while she gasped. How could she forget? He would need linens to dry off! She scrambled to grab some and went to the springs to hand them to him.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

When she came outside, he was resting against the edge of the spring. He looked much bigger without his tunic on. "Somethin' wrong?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She gasped and covered her eyes. "I-I uhm.. forgot to give you linens to dry off with..!" She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Oh," She heard the water slosh as he stood, "Thank you."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded and moved to hand him the linens, trying not to look.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He took them gently and she heard him get back into the water, "I didn' ev'n think that far ahead. So I appreciate ye not letting me run around naked."
