Thread: Civil Magic {KayLove & Eyesoffire}

Alright, then I guess I'll find a room as well. she told him noting the statue but her eyes followed the injured men, they seemed respected enough but she was curious on why these men came back to such a reaction. All the towns people seemed to know something that she did not. She soon lost Crispin in the throng of people but noted in the direction that he had gone. She heard a familiar rough voice near her elbow and noted it to be Bulgruff. Well, maybe, my friend it is because you might need that bath I mentioned earlier. she told him with a small smile. Her blue eyes were soft but they hardened as she spotted a young woman in a stall getting yelled at for what sounded like attempting to steal, or maybe she was just auguring the trader with how low a price she was offering. She was a small thing, maybe only in her teens but she had fierce red hair that stuck out to Athena. Excuse me! Vendor! Athena said as she picked up her skirts and hurried over, making herself look very regal and noble. The man glanced up and immediately stopped his yelling but kept the sneer on his face, What? he asked attempting to be civil but his hand was clutching the poor girl's arm hard. I would love to know, why you are laying your hands on my servant? she asked her hands on her hips. She was being a mighty big pest to me, m'lady. He said glaring at her, She tried to take more than what was owed to her! The redheads eyes were wide with shock but she kept her mouth closed, seeming to know when her tail was being saved. Here. Athena threw a silver coin at the man, it was worth more than his whole stall of his vegetables and bread that he was selling. The man caught it and his beady eyes widened in shock, T-That should do m'lady he greedily shoved the coin in his pocket and released the girl with a shove. Lets go young lady. said Athena who grabbed a loaf of bread and basket of vegetables on her way out, she heard no protest from the vendor. When the dark haired Athena and the red haired girl were far enough away Athena shoved the basket and bread at the girl, Take this and swear to me you will never try to steal again. Yes'm the fire haired girl stuttered out and clutched the basket to her chest before running off down the road and disappearing within the crowds. If any of Athena's group had seen what she had done she didn't care, all she cared was that some girl and perhaps her family were not starving tonight. Seeing as her energy was drained from her recent hero act she headed towards Helga's Hug where Crispin had said he was going to be. She hadn't wanted to bother him, just simply get a room to have a couple hours worth of sleep. As the dark haired Athena entered the inn and walked into the tavern it seemed like eyes clung to her with every step she made. But she simply straightened her shoulders and headed towards the front desk, not even taking a moment to look for Crispin. Just a room please. she asked but before the woman could take Athena's money a man leaned on the counter next to her and gave her body a once over. Can I help you Sir? Athena asked. Oh, Sir am I? he said with a laugh, the man was large and muscular, Athena thought he could be one of the soldiers that she had seen earlier, I was just wondering why a lady such as yourself was here all alone? the men at a table behind him edged him on, Because I know someplace that you could keep warm. he said thinking that he was funny. Athena's lips parted in shock that someone would say that to her, How dare you. she said in a deadly tone, but he didn't seem to blink an eye as she raised her hand and slapped him across the face. The man stopped laughing and so did his friends but Athena could tell that she had just gotten herself in over her head.
