A Bad Reputation (1x1 w/PoisonousIvee)

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. "I-If there's anything else, please let me know..!" She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I will. Thank ye." He said. There was no way he and his people could be the heartless savages others made them out to be. He was always so kind and respectful to her, not once making her feel unsafe to be around him.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was so conflicted, did she really want to be with him? Or was it just because he was nice?

 

[PoisonousIvee]

She did only just meet him a few days ago. Maybe she was just looking for a way out

 

[Mr.Aznable]

A way out. Might that be it? Was he really.. a way out? She was focusing on the food, or trying to, as she thought more on this.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Ev'rythin' alright?" He was just in his tunic and trousers, his hair free of its braids and beads. How long had she been spaced out?

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She looked up and smiled. "Oh! Yes, sorry, lost in thought.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Smells good. Did ye use th' deer? Or th' bear?" He asked.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"The deer!" She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded, "Smells good." He repeated gently.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled. "Thank you.. when did you say you were departing..?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Two days time." He replied, "Need t' make sure th' place didn' fall apart without me."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded as she served him a bowl of stew when it was finally ready. "I see.."

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Ye sound sad." He noted as he took the bowl, giving a soft thanks before moving to the table.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

"Hm? Oh well it's been nice having some pleasant company..!" She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"That's kind of ye t' say. Most won' pay me mind." He said before eating a spoonful of the stew. He seemed to melt, giving a soft noise of delight.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She looked over. "Wh-What, is it okay?" She asked.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"Okay? It's incredible. Th' deer jus' fukken melts." He said, "How are ye not married?"

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She cleared her throat. "Well, thank you.. my parents have certainly been trying.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He looked up, "Tryin'? An' ye have declined thus far? Why? Ye'd make an exceptional wife."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her face flushed. She was horrible at hiding it. "Y-You think so...?"

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He nodded, "Yer smart, kind, a great cook," he said before taking another spoonful, "pretty. Mm, no." He shook his head, "Pretty isn' an adequate word. Enthrallin' mor' like."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

Her heart skipped. "Y-You flatter me, really.." she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I was raised t' be honest. My ma would tan me good for lyin', 'specially t' a woman." He said, "Please, join me, I don' like eatin' alone."

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded and sat with him as she ate. She wanted to leave so bad. She wanted to leap into his arms, beg him to take her away.
