"Just because you tell me not to is going to stop me...and I'm about as old as you anyway." He wasn't red anymore and looked back at her face.

"Yes, but boys go to war or to work. Girls are married to older men, where we are generally treated more as property than living creatures. That is why I ran away," I told him. "I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself."

"I know you are I just can't help but worrying...and I would have run away too...women are beautiful creatures that shouldn't be caged up like animals and treated so poorly." Being a bard saying these kind of things came naturally to him, he couldn't help turning pink while he did though.

I smiled. "I'm lucky to have a companion who thinks that. It is the nature of bards, is it not?"

" I guess it is but I'm not just saying it you know..." I looked up at her and smiled before continuing," Usually bards just say whatever they want for a bit of gold or something else they want." I wanted to be close to her, though we haven't been close for long I'd taken a liking to her.

I smiled. "Oh, I know. I used to play," I told him. "I met a few bards."

"Do you believe me when I'm saying I mean it?" I looked right into her eyes when I said this.

I shrugged. "I don't know. You seem trustworthy... I suppose..."

I smiled and laughed," I guess that's better than nothing." I wasn't sure what to do now and then decided on something that would probably get me stabbed. I got a bit closer and hugged her.

It might have got him stabbed, that is, if I'd had any weapons on me, but I didn't. Go figure. It was kinda... nice... being in his arms. Well, I had an excuse for not hurting him. I didn't hug him back, but I didn't pull away. In fact, I froze, closing my eyes.

Pulling away I looked down and spoke," I'm sorry, I couldn't help it" I turned around and was about to run back to the tent.

I caught his wrist. "I knew it," I murmured, not quite loud enough for him to make out what I was saying.

I didn't resist as she held my wrist and turned to look at her, wondering what she said. I felt like I may have messed up beyond repair.

((They should really meet an old drunk perv at some point XDD)) I met his eyes, saying nothing. After a moment I smiled uncertainly.

When she smiled I was confused but eventually smiled back.
