Thread: Rise of The Mercenary King (MasterOfWhispers and Fancy_Brat)

Mimi still seemed to be fidgeting a little on stage now that she had suddenly become quite popular. With this marriage to Hawk, she'd be leaving her home and be spending her time in a more fancy human home, or at least that's how she thought of it. If she was going to be living in an environment with more humans, she figured she'd have to adapt. There were a good number of differences here as well. Her habit of challenging people to fights would get her in trouble, and when it came to hunting, the food was already provided so long as she knew where to look. Plus, she'd have to pay for it now. Maybe if she was lucky, she'd still be able to get in some sparring time with Hawk, but she clearly wasn't going to be able to do so as much with her fellow tribe members. Though she wouldn't be there with her tribe so much, it didn't mean she wasn't part of it anymore due to her marriage. But as one of Hawk's wives, she'd be expected to spend more time with him. She didn't mind it if it meant getting to practice with him often, though she was a little hesitant about the romantic aspect. She did see Hawk as a desirable individual, though she wasn't used to showing her affection so much. She could see Eliza's worried expression, and Mimi knew why. Being that she was the Tribe Chief's daughter, Hawk was required to prove himself in a test to determine if he was suitable to marry her though marriage wasn't really a practice in their tribe. There was quite a bit at stake though. If Hawk did not come out victorious, there would be some serious tension between his men and the tribe, as their treaty would be severed and war would likely break out. All those in attendance were reminded of this, but of course they were hoping Hawk would win, as they had come to see the marriage. Mimi had not said a word yet. She had no need to when her father was reminded Hawk of their customs. As she watched them both grasp their weapons, she realized the dangers this custom held. In some situations, there were casualties, though it wasn't likely something like that would happen today. Mimi nearly jumped as her father suddenly lunged at Hawk, nearly catching him off guard but he was able to defend himself in time. For the first time in a while she seemed rather anxious as well, torn between who she should be rooting for in this situation. Of course, having Hawk win led to more desirable results. For the longest time, it seemed as though the duel would yield no results, but even Mimi could see her father's flaw, and Hawk was quick to capitalize on it. Her father was no on the ground with the sword pointed at him, having Hawk as the winner. Mimi had let out a relieved sigh along with the rest of the crowd, giving her father a nervous smile in return. She felt her heart racing a little in her chest still from watching, but at least she could calm down a little. When it was her turn to give her vow, she seemed to get a little nervous again, knowing her speech wasn't the best still. Ah...I...I Mimi...will be loyal to Hawk...and vow to love Hawk... When it seemed she was finally done, they were encouraged to seal their union with a kiss as he had with Remelia. As he kissed her, she did her best to return the affection, though she wasn't really confident in the kiss. And anyone could see she was rather surprised when he got into the kiss a little more. She felt his tongue dancing with hers in her mouth, and she let out a sudden squeal in surprise when he grabbed her rear. When he had finally broken the kiss, Mimi had quickly clammed up again, hearing the joking of her tribe behind her. Normally she would go out and try and get back at them, but she didn't feel like doing it now. Her first kiss had her feeling different than usual. Again, the crowd offered an applause for them, and of course, the arrival of the third and final bride would come next. But for a while, it seemed she wouldn't walk out yet. A representative of the last bride stepped up to briefly tell Eliza there would be a slight delay. Whatever the reason was, the crowd would have to wait just a little bit.
