Thread: Reluctant companions (Eyesoffire & Ecchi)

Gridon instinctively grabbed his knife but as he turned his head he noticed the arrow pointing at him. In his eyes she'd already said too much and he stayed there. If she wouldn't want bloodshed then she'd get her wish, for a price. I have you pants hostage. He said clearly, not caring how stupid that sounded, he didn't care about a lot of things these days. You can kill me now anyway, but not before I cut right down the middle of these fine leather pants. I'll be dead, I'll have no problems but you, you're going to have to spend the rest of this beautiful day with torn pants and everyone's going to either see those legs of yours or you'll look like an idiot. I'm leaving this up to you. Kill me now, I don't care I'd be glad to get rid of all my problems, elf. He couldn't suppress a grin. His voice had been calm, he had looked the elf in the eye and even smiled a little. It wasn't his fault times were so hostile. He'd heard the stories about what the elves did to people in the old days and how this land was truly theirs. Deep within him a tiny bit of apprehension crept up. He wasn't really looking to die today, especially from some naked elf in a pond. I can't help but notice you're here alone. he said, trying to keep the elf's mind wandering as he looked for a way out. It's a little dangerous for someone like you to be out here in that state. Gideon swallowed, he was probably pushing this a little too far, nevertheless he wanted to get out of this alive but dropping the pants and running seemed too weak...and not risky enough for his tastes.

Leilia continues watching the man closely, her lips curling into a frown as he threatens to slice her pants and leave her with the option of going without them, or looking foolish walking around with torn pants. Either way she would look foolish really, and in already unfriendly territory, that would not work out too well for her. She stares at him silently for a few moments, keeping the arrow drawn back for the moment, though she knew she couldn't hold it forever. Whether I am alone or not, is none of your concern. And I have doubt that a Human would genuinely care about my safety. So stop your games and drop the pants. Leave now and you may keep your life. She knew her current position wasn't the best though, neither for bargaining, nor firing the arrow at him, crouched so low in the water. She would likely need to rise higher for a better shot, but that would leave her more exposed to him, and she simply hoped the threat of the arrow would be enough to persuade him. She creeps just a bit closer to the shore, by a couple steps or so. Just leave my things be, and go. Her grip on her bow tightened slightly as she held at least some small hope he would comply and walk away.

'So stop your games and drop the pants.' Ah, if only women had said that to him more often. Gideon only grinned back at her threats. He shrugged his shoulders in an uncaring fashion. Fire the arrow or not, see if I care but I know that two people are going to be unhappy. You being the first, no doubt I'll bleed all over your lovely clothes and you'll be suspected of murder by the next person who sees you. The second is someone I have to meet in Harrowdale and I'd have for them to think I'm some sort of late-comer, you understand? Also, you're going to have to stand up to get a better shot, the wood of your bow is already wet on the bottom, that can't be good for the notch and the strong itself. He was speaking logically to her and stood up, still holding the knife and pants. You don't really want to make me bleed, right? He raised an eyebrow. You said it yourself, you don't want bloodshed so why don't you put the weapon down and we can stop all of this nonsense right now. She was gorgeous, that much was clear to him, the way her hair fell from her head and clung to her shoulders when wet. He closed his mouth for a moment, why hadn't he noticed it before? Maybe he was too much of a talker. her skin looked smooth and he could tell she had a lithe form from all he could see. So are you going to put the bow down and we'll act like sensible people or will you ruin both our days by shooting that arrow at me? he called back to her as he stood there, eyes moving from her face to her neck and up again.

Leilia's grips on the bow, and the arrow both tightened as she listened to him, and begrudgingly admitted to herself, that he was right. It was more than a matter of her looking a fool with torn pants, or no pants if she shot him. And Elf in Human territory, covered in blood. She would certainly be suspected of murder given the current warring state between the two races, and herself killed or imprisoned. Either way it would put a stop to her plans, and possibly harm the quest to secure the safety of the world. He even seemed to call out the fact she would have to raise out of the water to fire and reveal more of her nude form in the process. She glares hard at him for a moment, her arm which had begun to relax as he spoke suddenly draws back again, ready to fire the arrow, however she turns her aim and lifts slightly more from the water to fire it into a nearby tree. She then lowers again and throws the bow off to the side onto the shore, then ducks further into the water so only her head stayed above. Have your minor victory then, Human. Now drop my things and be on your way. It was interesting, and unfortunate, she thought, that he seemed to also be headed toward for Harrowdale. That could make for a bit of an awkward situation if she ran into him again there. Of course, it somehow never crossed her mind that he might be meeting someone there for the same reason she was.

He let out the tiniest sigh of relief when she fired the arrow at a tree. He still wanted to ensure she saw no sign of weakness from him. He sat down beside her clothes and looked at her. I actually haven't had any decent company for a while. He said plainly, still watching her, keeping eye contact. His rambunctious self seemed to have dissolved into a more serious nature. Perhaps if we spent a little time together it might just help me keep my sanity. he chuckled audibly at the end of the sentence, though personally he found it no laughing matter. He was quite level-headed and sane but he'd known friends who had been out in the wilderness too long, who had seen things mortals weren't meant to see, heard voices in strange languages that they weren't meant to hear. They came back deranged, devoid of all hope and zest for life. They just wanted to lie down and die. The Grey Sages had told him of this in other parts of the world. That Draz wished to emerge back into this realm and in doing so wipe out all of life as the good people here know it. That was partly the reason why Gideon had picked up his sword and accepted their quest. Although he was cynical of most individuals he knew that many were genuinely kind and caring. Sure he was a killer, he'd killed for money and for honor but that didn't stop him from helping the kind when he could. His eyes seemed to look in the distance when he thought of these things and he snapped back to the present and locked eyes with the elf once again. Where are you headed? He asked politely, the playful, smart-ass tone couldn't be heard anymore.

Leilia frowns, her glare deepening as he sits near her things, rather than leaving, which left her stuck naked in the water, and now unarmed and helpless. She had no way of forcing him to leave, and no way to get to her clothes without him getting an eye full of her nude body. I have no wish to keep you company, Human. I'll not be your forced companion... The very idea that he might be hinting at coercing her into accompanying him by holding her possessions hostage enraged her. It made her think of the old tales, of Human long ago enslaving her people. One of the old grudges that led to the current warring state. She remains still in the water, not moving a muscle as she stares at the man with a heated glare. None of your concern. Where I go, is my own business. Be on your way, and leave me be. I have no desire to continue this discussion. Just go. She would sit and wait, hoping for him to leave, and until he did, she would remain in the cool water.. even as it began to feel a bit too cold.

Gideon frowned. Well, if that's what you really want. He stood up and made ready to leave, but not before taking one of her elven blades with him. He knew she'd noticed and walked swiftly back to the treeline where he disappeared in a hurry. If he was the elf he would have found this to be very childish but he wasn't in her position and smiled as he thrust the blade into his belt and made his way to Harrowdale. He had his own reason for taking the weapon. Walking swiftly he reached the town by dusk and made for the Inn of Harrow Dawson, the town itself was named after him, supposedly the founder of this place who, according to local legend, which came for a sketchy man, slew two bears single-handedly in order to claim this territory. The Grey Sages had indicated that this would be the place he'd find his companion. He entered into the Inn's tavern, to his right were stairs leading up to the rooms. The place was almost full, serving girls and drunken old men lined the aisles and tables were filled with an assortment of individuals from young soldiers to boys who looked far to young to be drinking a pint. Gideon chose a corner table near a window, placed the elf's blade on the table and leaned back in his chair as he waited for a barmaid to come with his order. He flipped a coin in the air guessing what side would face up when it landed in his hand. The companion was taking their time, whoever they were and he was starting to get rather annoyed. Eventually his drink came but time spent drinking it went by fast.

Leilia's eyes went wide as she saw him pick up the blade and hurry off, leaving only one of the twin blades behind for her. Of course, he could have taken much more, such as all of her weaponry, leaving her defenseless. Still, his rushing off with her single short sword was enough to make her call out after him and stand from the water, arms crossed over her naked body, and rush out to the shore. HEY! Bring that BACK! She glares out into the treeline, tempted to rush off and follow his path just as she was.. however that would not be very wise at all. She growls under her breath as she's forced to remain where she is to pull on her clothing again, from the two undergarment articles, back out to the leather armor, boots, and bracers. At least her pants had escaped the situation unscathed. She re-straps her dagger on, pulls her bow and quiver onto her back, then picks up the remaining blade to look at it. It seemed so.. odd without it's twin. She could almost say it seemed lonely. She sighs and slips it onto its place on her belt, hen moves over to the tree she shot to pull the arrow from it and slip it back into her quiver. She rushes off through the trees to get back on the path, cursing in Elven the whole way. She knew by now, that man had too much time to escape, and she would not be able to catch him now. Just around sunset, she reached the town, walking through to find the place she was told to go. She approaches the inn and steps inside, glancing around. She, like Gideon before her saw the various patrons and bar maids, though her entrance inspired a different reaction. Immediately the sounds of laughter and loud conversation went quiet, particularly among the soldiers who sat about. Their eyes, more than most other followed her every move, while others stared perhaps in fascination, or fear. She heard now only murmurings as she passed by the people, some rather unkind words her pointed ears picked up from a few patrons. She moves to a corner table in the back, an area that seemed fairly secluded, with an amulet given to her by the Grey Sages worn out over her armor, so the one who she was to meet would know who she is. She either didn't notice Gideon yet, or purposefully ignored him, still having no clue at all who he was.

Gideon was practically sleeping by the time the elf had entered the inn. The sudden silence caused him to wake up and sit properly in his chair. Looking around he quickly spied to cause of the disturbance. His eyes followed her to the table she chose. Men around him whispered about how the elves had taken their lands, killed many of their people and they were doing it all over again. Some started to consider taking her hostage or killing her outright. At this point Gideon knew things would eventually get far out of hand. Since he had met this elf before he didn't need that cocky, smart-ass, fun-loving act anymore. He got up from his table and took the elven sword with him. He wound through the other round tables, no one paid him any attention until they realized he was going to the table where the elf sat. Some gave him words of encouragement, some congratulated him for taking this into his own hands. Need assistance ranger? Good job, take her in! You can kill her out back, ranger. Dump the body in my yard, I'll make sure no one finds it. Gideon ignored everything that was said to him, in truth some of the things said were too disturbing and he didn't want any part of their twisted plans. Reaching her table he spied the amulet on her wrist and squinted. He pulled her blade out and slammed it, point down into the wood of the elf's table. You draw far too much attention to yourself, elf. Gideon said in a hoarse whisper. Upstairs, now! No doubt the Grey Sages told you we don't have much time.

Leilia heard some of what was being said, one hand clenched the hilt of her remaining short sword, prepared for any of them to make a move against her. If any had the guts to dare try and harm her, she would leave them lying in their own blood. It wasn't for nothing the Grey Sages chose her after all. Seeing none do more than simply talk bold words though, she relaxed but slightly. Few of those here who weren't soldiers looked as if they truly had the mettle to attack her, and most of those who were soldiers looked too weary to put up much of a real fight. Her icy blue eyes turned as a man approached, and then she watched her short sword slammed into the table. A deep frown crossed her lips as she looked up to see the very same man indeed she had run into earlier. Her soft lips part as she glares up, about to speak back to him, possibly to scold him or tell him he was a fool to show himself like this after stealing from her. No words came though, as she heard him speak of the Grey Sages. Her expression turned to surprise at first, the thought in her mind, how could he know of her mission? Then came the confusion as she thought it over. Finally, a look of dismay and defeat, as she realized, this man, of all people, was the one she was sent to meet. And meet they did, in a less than preferable manner, earlier at the pond. Her lips close once again into a small frown as she keeps a hard gaze on him, standing slowly and reaching to yank her sword out of the table, then holding her hand out to him, to receive the sheath for it. She speaks softly to him. Don't presume to command me so bluntly. If upstairs is where you wish to speak, so be it. But you need not be so crass about your request. She would turn and move then, preparing to move for the stairs, keeping a sharp eye on the people they pass.

Would you rather have me sugarcoat everything I say? He said, still whispering as he walked behind her, his hand on the hilt of his sword, more for show than anything else. The people watched as they went upstairs. They saw Gideon's hand on his sword and some of them smiled. If he hadn't done it he was sure suspicion would rise quickly that the two of them were working together, and he really didn't need that. Walking in front of the elf he checked the doors, most were locked and people shouted rude words from behind them when he checked. Finally he found an unlocked, empty one. Waiting until the elf was inside he stood by the door, closed it when she entered and locked it. He thrust the sheath of the sword into her hand, not giving it to her earlier because the commoners downstairs would talk. He lit a few candles in the room and then turned to look at the elf. As you must have already guessed I am to be your companion on this quest sent to us by the Grey Sages...listen, I'm not going to say I like that fact I'm working with an elf. Much less you of all elves but I'm not about to let a war affect this job, which, as I think you realize, is a bit more important than what's going on leagues away. He rubbed the bridge of his nose between his eyes and took a deep breath. After a short moment he looked up and sighed. Forgive me, I've been waiting for quite some time, I don't have much patience and when I realized it was you I was to be partner to it came as quite a shock. Perhaps we should begin again. My name is Gideon, yours?

Leilia gave him a little glare and flipped her blade so she held it upside down, along the length of her forearm. Are manners such a difficult concept? She turns and behind to move for the stairs, leaving behind the rabble of the crowd that seemed intent on watching them move. She watched then as he checked the doors until finding one unlocked, and the room empty. She stepped inside, then turned to face him, blade still in hand, as she suspected him capable of any sort of trickery still. Icy blue eyes locked on him, she listens to him speak, while she takes the sheath that was handed back to slip it over her sword, and put it back in its proper place as her hip. I am well aware that this task is more important than the warring of our peoples over old wounds reopened. Started by the land hungry Humans, she might have added, but she wasn't going to point fingers out loud and start pointless arguments over it. She folds her arms over her leather clad chest as she continues to listen to him. You are not my own prime choice as a companion in this either, Human. But if you are one the Grey Sages have appointed, I will not argue their judgement. If you are to be my companion, I shall tolerate your company, and I shall watch your back until this mission is complete. But I do not desire or expect friendship. She wanted to make her feelings on this arrangement quite clear, it seemed. You may call me Leilia. Did the Grey Sages tell you where we are to travel? What tasks lie ahead?
Thread: Reluctant companions (Eyesoffire & Ecchi)

Gideon pursed his lips as he listened to her, for a woman who expected manners from other should could be quite curt herself. Nevertheless he tolerated it and listened intently to her questions. The Grey Sages hadn't told him much, he had actually been told that his companion would have some useful information as well, perhaps he was a fool to rely on that too much. In hindsight he should have questioned the old ones well. It would only be fair, he was risking his skin for them. But the Grey Sages were the seemingly introverted, quiet, secluded type like a weak boy at a school. The Grey Sages... Gideon started to speak but he held his tongue for a moment, quietly observing Leilia. Unfortunately they like to withhold information. From what little they said they did state where we are to go South. To the Desert of Arigos. That will take us through your lands as well as mine. From there they stated that we'll know of our next task. He stopped talking, he just looked at Leilia, his head angled to the side ever so slightly, like a curious dog. He was unsure that he could trust Leilia in her own lands. She had enough reason to stick and arrow through his eye at this moment, what's to stop her from setting an ambush for him when they moved through the elven cities? Or slitting his throat as he slept? No. He was being paranoid, they were expected to work together by a higher power and the fate of the world rested upon their quest. As you probably know, heading to Arigos' desert implies that basilisks, great carrion and other assorted beasts would be seeing us as a tasty meal...additionally we have Draz's forces to contend with and whoever else may get in our way. To be completely honest that's all I really know, that's all they told me.

Leilia listened with a frown as he spoke, sighing softly. They certainly do like to withhold information. Perhaps it's some sort of twisted sense of humor. She keeps her arms crossed, her gaze shifting down to the floor as she considers his words, her frown deepening. Through my lands... That could be... problematic. She sighs and looks up again, looking him over some. As seemingly distrustful and hostile as your own people are, even in a small place like this.. they at least are reluctant to act. Either too afraid, or smart enough to know better. My people however... will not hesitate to bring down any human wandering into their territories. From a distance if archers are about, and we have many archers. We may need to get creative to get you safely through that area. She nods slowly to him then as he speaks of the dangers they will inevitably face. I am aware of that. But it's not for nothing the Grey Sages sought me out from all of my kin and set me on this quest. And I certainly hope you can boast the same, Gideon. I don't expect it will be easy, but I have hope that we can succeed, for all our sakes. We must, or death take us. She sighs softly and looks to him. So, are we setting out immediately, or will we be staying the night here?
Thread: Reluctant companions (Eyesoffire & Ecchi)

Leilia's words brought about the hot feeling of anger within him. Huh, as if she could boast that. The way I caught her this morning, Is that what the best of the elves are made of? Well then it shouldn't be a long war. Gideon never really thought about the war in this manner, he was part sell-sword, but with no job his worries were limited to his own needs. He didn't see anything to her, they'd cross that bridge when they came to it and find a way through her lands. A little part of him said that it may be just as, if not more dangerous than the rest of the journey. Regardless of that Gideon had experience that had saved him numerous times in the past, why should this be any different? The one small issue was Leilia's honor, there was nothing stopping her from handing him to her kin when traveling in Elven lands. I never said I was the best, but neither did I say I was the worst. He said plainly, giving Leilia a look of nonchalance. We should leave now. Provided you have all your things. he raised an eyebrow at her. Entsmere wood stretches on for a league or two, and in the open plains that come afterwards I'm sure we'll find skirmishing parties scattered throughout the lands. he unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Personally I don't want to meet either of the two factions. Gideon moved over and unlocked the door, swinging it wide open. We shouldn't linger here either...the men downstairs may wonder why you're still in one piece.
