((Heehee, thanks. :D ))
"I see." He smiled, bringing the horse to a rest stop. They stopped in an green, open area. Xoven took out a basket and then sat down on a fallen tree. "Lunch time. We're still over a day's travel away, but we should reach the city by tomorrow night."
((So sorry I didn't reply yesterday. I was so tired...pregnancy.))
Xoven looked at her, raising a brow. "Really? I would think there's a lot to know about you...like why you joined the military. And how you learned all of those skills that led me to choosing you to be a scout. I don't choose...
((Honestly I'm okay with short sentences sometimes because there are cases where the character genuinely doesn't have much to say/do.)) He smiled, "Hm, I guess we can talk about the case. Or perhaps you can tell me more about you. We've only been working together for two weeks. Won't hurt for me...
"Alright, let's get going then." He got into the wagon with her and their journey began. He was rather quiet for awhile, just focusing on the road. Eventually, though, around lunch time, he said, "We should stop soon. Eat lunch, rest. Maybe talk a little?" He winked. ((I can't produce a...
He looked at her, a little surprised. "Alright, sure, that would be fine. For the record, I knew you were there the whole time." He offered his hand. "Why are your people hostile toward humans?"
Xoven sighed. "Well, uh, thanks. I guess I should get going...wouldn't want to get lost again." He smiled genuinely. "You know you should venture out beyond the forest some time. It's interesting what or who you might find."
He raised his brow with a smile. "Did you undergo some sort of transformation? You sure are different." He touched her arm gently. "Alright, come then." He led her outside to the wagon and started putting their things away. "Once we get to Flore, we'll be there for at least seven days. So we're...
He raised his brow and smiled. "Of course we do. Don't worry, I won't get too close to you." He glanced at some papers and then back at her. "Unless of course you want to." He winked at her and then grabbed a few bags. "Alright if there's nothing else, we can get on the road. It will take us two...
The next morning Xoven had the disguise information on the desk. When she came to see him, he already had bags packed and people were starting to come get them. "Good morning. Your disguise is Elizabeth but I call you Lizzy. My disguise is Roger. We just recently got married. We're tailors and...
"Yes, I'll see you in the morning. The wagon will be ready as well as our disguises. Make sure you read through all the details. The murder is highly strange...not an ordinary stab, you're dead sort of thing. Just read. You'll understand." The documents explained details of the murder, that a...
He looked surprised. "You worked hard at the trials to become a scout, Melanie. This is what you've been training to do. If you don't want to do it, then I'll find another partner. However, I saw your potential, so I thought you'd be a good match. However, if this is too much for you, I'll put...
"Well, I haven't quite told you what we're doing yet. In Flore, there has been a murder. We need to go investigate it. I suppose it'd be easiest as a young couple. There's a festival there too, in about four days. We can there prior to the festival and pretend to be tailors with our own booth. I...
"Come in," he said softly sitting in his chair. "Oh, Melanie. It's good you're here." He took out the folder from earlier and pulled out some documents. "We have a lot to go over. So please have a seat. It looks like we're going to be leaving the city soon. You can overview the case and tell me...
The guard nodded. "Oh, good eve, Melanie. Sir Xoven is just finishing up his meeting. He will see you soon." Just a moment later, a man walked out of Xoven's office with his head down. "Ugh," he said, walked toward the stairs. As he saw Zo, he lifted his head, "Oh hi, Melanie," but continued...
The woman said, "Please, please. I need you to do this. Xoven can't know I disappeared. If you do this, there will be an additional price later. I will deliver it to you." She pushed the coins back into Zo's hands. "Besides, assisting Xoven has its own rewards. Just read all the documents. I...
"You must be new. Didn't he go over the secrecy rules with you?" She smiled. "I'm sure he'll be understanding. Come this way." She led Zo into the castle and down several hallways and up some stairs before finally stopping. "I'm sure you can find your way now. Don't worry about discipline...
Kellen smiled. "Oh, you're here to see Xoven. Come." The guard stepped aside. Kellen began to walk with Zo. "So are you one of his, uh, agents?" She asked softly, almost like she didn't want anyone else to hear. "You should be more careful, if so. Xoven is pretty firm with discipline I've...
A guard moved in front of her blocking entrance into the castle gates. "Excuse me, miss, you are not allowed beyond these premises, unless you can show your badge?" Just as the guard was talking to her, a young woman with curly brown hair walked up. "Good eve, Kellen." The young woman began to...
((I made it up. :P )) He watched the band for several moments in silence, before he suddenly seemed to be focusing on something in the crowd. "Shit. I have to go. I'll see you later okay?" He quickly rushed into the crowd, grabbed a young man by the collar and started dragging him away. The...
