Madness (PoisonousIvee/Mr.Aznable)

[PoisonousIvee]

"I do not parade you as a trophy!!" He snarled, advancing on her swiftly, "You are my equal, dammit!! I take you out so that you may be known in your new home!! So you can learn how we live!!" His tail thrashed angrily as he bore down on her.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“I said I’m fucking trying!!” She tried to stand her ground, but she was very intimidated by his stature.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He was quiet, watching her tentatively, keenly aware of how terrified she was. He forced his muscles to relax and he exhaled loudly, clicking to ease the tension - to signal no ill will.
"Why not ask me...?" He asked, trying to level his tone.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Because you’re always busy.. you’re always here, then gone, looking at me with expressions I can’t even read.. I know I’m not your ideal bride, wife, mate, whatever but.. I’m trying.. I’ve been trying..” she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"You can do more than just hide away...you're a shaman, aren't you..? Attend spiritual needs...you are needed...they cannot like you if you only try appeasing me.." He said.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded. “I’ll try..” she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"They don't bite...I'm sure, if you ask...show you want to learn...thry will teach you.." He said.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She nodded and thanked him before leaving to go do as he suggested.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He exhaled softly as he watched her leave, hoping that getting out on her own would help.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She made her way all around the village, trying to help as she was able.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Some turned her away while others accepted her help happily. They even taught her a bit about their own pantheon.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She smiled, her spirits a bit higher now.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

This wasn't as bad as she thought. Maybe she was just nervous for nothing.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She started feeling better, and from then on, made regular trips out into town.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

Maleris was glad to see she was going out more and involving herself. Maybe things would work out.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She was gifted a rather large bottle of some kind of wine, and she brought it back to the house for them to share over dinner.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"I'm not sure you'll be able to handle this." Maleris told her.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“What? Why not?” She asked, looking up as she fiddled with the cork.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"It's the strongest wine we make." He told her.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“It can’t be that bad, I’ve had plenty to drink before..” she said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

"You haven't had this." He said with a smirk.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

“Well then I will.” She said.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He rolled his eyes gently and helped her set up dinner.

 

[Mr.Aznable]

She poured the wine into two tankards, it smelled sweet, sharp.

 

[PoisonousIvee]

He made a soft noise of delight as he sat with her for dinner.
