Thread: Dawn of the Aweless Age

I was beginning to wonder hehehe The man was a talker, that was most certain. Although she was well versed in the Eastern speech she was largely out of practice with a native speaker and had to think over several of the words he had used in his eloquent litany. Smiling deeper as he looked her over when he was done speaking she couldn't help but return the gaze. She looked him over again as he removed his hat. His hair as curly as hers but much closer to his head. She couldn't help but laugh inwardly at the situation, though she showed no hint of it on her face safe a slight sparkle in her eye. His body was well formed and his face sincerely attractive now that she could see it fully. His features so much softer and handsome then the men of her clan. She resisted the urge to reach out and feel his soft looking flesh with her fingertips, rubbing the knob at the end of her sword to occupy her hand, the other clenching in a fist, and relaxing. When he spoke again he asked her name and apologized for the loss of her hunt. In the moment she had almost forgotten about her stolen kill. She though about his requests as she stood observing him keenly. He was bold and obviously not afraid of her, although he showed some reserve, apparently aware of her hand placement. 'He wants to meet my people', she thought to herself. 'That would be, mmm, interesting.' She let a slight chuckle escape her throat as her internal laughter bubbled outwards. Clearing her throat in an effort to cover it she spoke to him again. My name is Nienna. I am daughter to the Al'Tikaer tribe. We have no homeland. As for your queen, we are most familiar with her already. She pondered how much to let him know, biting her tongue before she rambled on further unthinkingly. She was excited to hear her own voice utter the foreign tongue, it felt strange in her mouth but elating. She took a step forward, more into the light radiating through the thick canopy of trees towering above their heads. In the light it could be seen that her hair was in fact not black, but a combination of all colors. Deep red hues highlighted her hair, as well as dark brown and occasionally a light blonde strip, hidden within the depth of her curls. The light shone bright on her face as her deeply tanned skin glowed against the suns rays. She looked up into his eyes, he was so much taller and broader. She stopped walking a mere foot or two outside his reach, realizing with some amount of shock that she had gotten so close without noticing. As for my...re-com-pense, she sounded it out slowly. Though she was unsure of what it meant she assumed he was referring to the lizard like beasts that were now devouring the very animal she had wanted for her own, and how he intended to trade her for the loss. Let me see what gift you bring to my people and I will decide if you are worthy to follow me. Though it is on my honor to warn you that we are not so close to them as you might think. She bit back again. Recognizing that she had just given away the fact that she was on her own and removed from her people. Her body though remained unmoved and her faced betrayed no emotion beyond the twisted smile painted across her striking face.
