Donnor you will just have to take your chances and see if you end up with a severe case of rabies or not.

You can't be that shocked

Icy_flames wrote:Seeing the fire in Aasha's eyes he whispered in her ear.

She's had all her shots deary. Otherwise I'd be a dead man for sure.

Rubbing the marks on his neck he sauntered over to Bella. My turn?

"Biting married men shortens your life span especially when said wife is a little crazy assassin. Aasha maybe ..hmmmm... Carry on I'm sure your much more creative than I"

Stands next to her Captain of the guard and watches with a gleam in her eye.

This is what happens when you leave me to my own devices... I plan kidnappings, marry off my brother to two women, and ...



As he got closer, her knees weakened and she bit her lip

I've missed you love

Donnor wrote:A little bit of biting never hurt no one...or wait...does it? *thinks*

Barden, I am sorry but I can't be biting you, that would be just to disturbing

Aasha wrote:Overhearing Bella's remark to Donnor, her eyes narrow. An' why wouldna he be shocked? Ya gots somethin' to be tellin' me 'bout my man then? Her dagger was already drawn when Icy whispered in her ear, his words doing nothing to dispel her temper. Dinna care if'n she's had shots or nae...it isna her man she'd be bitin' now is it? But I'd be happy ta be helpin' ta makes sure she dun be bitin' other men what ain't hers nomores.

The decision seemed to be made for her, Bella was headed straight towards the man standing beside her. Her dagger shining wickedly in the light, she held it at the ready, focused on where best to make the first cut.

Narrowing her eyes further as Donnor speaks, she practically choked on her words; An' who is it yer bitin'? I'm guessin' yer gonna find out firsthand if'n it hurts or nae.

Bcgirl wrote:Oh he was wanting to bite you Donnor?

*giggles*

Donnor wrote:He grins at Aasha and speaks; "Now now my love, It was just a harmless bite, and if it makes you feel better you can always go bite her...or Icy since he obviously wants to bite me?"

He began to snicker than remembered..."Oh I forgot, I am not allowed to speak, interact, or even know any other females. Sorry everyone." Turns around and walks away from everyone without saying another word.

Sapphire_ wrote:Watches the commotion going on and crosses her arms.

Are we seriously that insecure about ourselves that we act like children... I am sure we all can play together.

Pours a shot of rum for everyone. Let's all have a drink... shall we?

Aasha wrote:Aasha heard Donnor's words and stopped the movement of the dagger. He had been the first man she fully trusted, and just as everything in her past, he was proving that trust was a mistake. Blinking back her rapidly filling eyes, she turned to go as visions of the past came up to haunt her once more.

Bcgirl wrote:Hugging Sapph Bells watched the interaction finally realizing what was happening. Jealously was such a funny thing to watch, especially when it caused reactions like this.

She watched Donnor leave, with a slight sigh. He really was a sweet guy and it was sad to see him leave like that... knowing she caused the issue was worse. It was to be a harmless bit between friends.

Looking back between Barden and Sapph she smiled a bit...

Well Barden love... will you settle for nibbling on me then, Donnor seems to be otherwise disposed

Axle5788 wrote:Axle had seen her travel alone to her house and thought it strange. He knew Donnor was never far behind, but when she was almost out of sight and Donnor was talking to others, he got nervous. He followed her to make sure she got home safe; she was visibly upset as she traveled home. He waited in the nearby brush, hoping things were fine but he could hear her crying through the open window of the house. He waited for Donnor to arrive; but hours passed, and still he was nowhere to be seen.

Axle5788 wrote:Axle heard movement inside the house and woke abruptly, shaking his head side to side. He had fallen asleep in the brush. He tried to peer in the window and saw her stretching. She had fallen asleep on the floor, and he had wanted to move her to a more comfortable place, but he thought it not appropriate considering the circumstance. He finally climbed out of the brush, his hands sweeping down his clothes to remove the twigs and dirt that he had been in all night. He stood in the path between the front door and the road, and heard commotion inside continue. Maybe she is alright.. and Donnor will be home soon. He wondered what kept him away all night. It wasn't like him.

He would head to the beach following her. That was her usual routine lately. He'd been fishing because she had been. He'd been following for over three months.. maybe longer. He liked her, but wasn't brave enough to talk to her. No.. that isn't accurate. I did ask her how to fish with the pole. He corrected himself. He enjoyed looking at her and she almost caught him a few times while fishing that day. He wasn't always quick enough to get in her boat, but he had a few times and was happy to follow.

Axle5788 wrote:He was facing the road, dusting his clothes off when he felt a force crash into him. He stuttered forward, his hands spread out to balance him and prevent him from falling. Once he regained his balance, he turned around seeing her on the ground. His eyes opened in shock. I.. I.. I'm s.s..sorry. He looked down, offering his hand to her. Fi.. fish today? He was nervous and embarrassed. He was usually more discreet when following her.

Axle5788 wrote:I.. I.. He didn't know how to answer her about why he was standing in the middle of the path. She didn't wait for an answer anyways, so he just ignored it. He followed her as she moved past him, listening to her. I.. I don't need the boat. Where you going? I will come. He walked with her, slightly behind. He didn't see Donnor anywhere, and didn't want her to go by herself. He had nothing else to do. His day was usually spent around her in one way or another. He would eat when she did.. work when she worked.. fish when she fished.. visited the tavern when she did.

Axle5788 wrote:He almost bumped into her when she spun around. He gasped, jumping slightly back. He had been watching her bum as she walked. You look like you could use the company.. I don't want to leave you alone. His eyes lifted to hers. I don't got nowheres to go. I only know you here. He shrugged, looking down. She didn't seem to care. It's ok, he thought. She don't need to tell me she's my friend. I know she is.. He looked up to see her continuing down the path. He scurried faster to follow her keeping a slightly bigger distance between them than he had been.

Axle5788 wrote:With the distance he had left between them, he quickly got left behind when she began to run. He ran after her through the forest, but she was quick. He stopped briefly, kneeling down to check for fresh tracks. He was a ranger during his time in Bath, and it would serve him well now. He found the trail left by her small feet and quickly continued following. The tracks meshed with the tracks of animals and he lost her trail after a while. He was upset. He had never lost her before. Never! He looked around, trying to navigate through the woods, but he was unfamiliar with his surroundings and with no trail, he was doomed to remain lost. That is until he heard crying in the distance. He followed the sound further into the woods, and caught a glimpse of her pack. She darted again, faster than before, and he quickly ran after her. He had her in his sights now and would not let her escape again. She didn't run for too much longer, and he caught up. He caught up to her, breathing hard to catch his breath. He placed his hands on his sides, and watched her a short distance away. He couldn't get too close. She would probably run away again. He was used to watching and protecting her from a distance. Today was no different.

Axle5788 wrote:He followed her, not too closely, all the way to Inis. He didn't want to get too close because she needed space from what he could tell. She needed time to think, and cry. He didn't like to see her sad, but he knew she wouldn't want to see him. She had told him as much on the road out of town towards Inis. He followed behind her, quietly. She could probably tell he was there, but she hadn't acknowledged his presence and he was fine with that. He just wanted to make sure she was safe.

When they arrived in Inis, it seemed as if she knew exactly where to go. He hadn't been home in months, maybe four to be exact. He'd been too busy following her from army to army.. town to town. He had joined NNGO at her request to fight the 'great fight'. He didn't really mind the army life as long as she was there. He remembered a few months ago how she got left behind, and he had gotten upset. He had offered to go back to get her and she dismissed him, saying she would reach the destination before us. She was quick on her feet, faster than a full army could travel together. He had been glad she had arrived safely, but vowed not to let her travel alone again. Since that day, he had never broken his vow until these last few days in the woods. She had been too quick for him, but he didn't give up and eventually found her.

Axle5788 wrote:Stepping forward through the forest, he continued to follow her. He had managed to startle her, or make her aware of his presence, and he was glad for it. Everytime she noticed him, she would dart off. Being small and quick was an advantage for her; it had provided him some difficulty managing to get through the forest with all the twigs, branches, and trees. He wasn't as small, or even as quick, but he tried to keep up. He had lost her twice now. Once near Port Lairge, and the second time on the way to Inis.

He kept his eye on her, and accidentally snapped a twig beneath his feet. No! He muttered to himself, briefly closing his eyes in disappointment. Now she was aware of him following her. She'd told him to stop several times on the way, but he didn't listen. She turned back to see him, then darted forward into the forest. Sighing, he rushed forward through the trees, ducking and dodging appropriately to miss the natural growth of the forest. He took a running start towards a trunk of a tree that had been cut and boosted himself into the air to gain momentum and speed. It didn't work. It was miscalculated, and he hit himself in the head with a branch.. or twelve. He didn't know, but it sure hurt like hell! An open gash on his head had blood flowing freely. He didn't worry about himself, just her. Rolling to his side on the ground, he kept his eyes towards the sight in front of him and saw her enter a structure. She didn't keep running far. Now, I can catch up to her. He got up slowly, not wanting to make noise in case it would startle her again. He wasn't too far and her senses were too keen not to listen. One day she will kill me, I think. He ventured slowly through the woods, recognizing the area as Bunbatty Castle, her former home with Donnor. He saw in the distance the estate, and this barn was where she spent most of her time with her horse. He peered inside and saw her crying again. He wanted to comfort her. He didn't understand why she was in so much pain and it made him sad. He watched her through the barely open door. He wasn't going to lose her anymore.

He felt blood trickle down the side of his face, and he took a rag from his waste to wrap around his head. This will do for now..

Axle5788 wrote:He saw as she stepped towards him in a defiant and determined manner and moved away from the door. She pushed it open, a little too hard, as it hit the barn and sort of bounced back as if to close from the force she had exerted upon it. He dropped his head, looking to the floor to avoid her eyes. He felt he was in trouble and didn't even know why.. well, he sort of did. He'd been following her all day despite her making it obvious she didn't want his company. She stepped up against him and before he could speak, he felt her hands bang, and pummel his chest. Her fists were hard and in anger, and he was shocked but he knew that she was not well. The scene of her crying from moments before flashed in his mind. He brought his hands up instinctively to try to protect his chest from all the pounding, but decided to let her go. Her frustrations and anger needed to be let out and as her friend, he needed to support her. Even if that meant bodily harm.

As her fists came slowly to a stop, tears rushed out and down her face. His hands finally came up to wrap around her wrists. Feel better? It was all he could say. Any more and she may remember she told him to leave... again.

Axle5788 wrote:She sunk to the ground, her hands still in his and he fell to his knees before her. He tried to catch her eyes, but she wouldn't look at him as if she was lost in thought. He felt bad for her. There was an aura of sadness about her and he didn't understand why. She finally looked at him, only long enough to see the tears on her face. She dropped her head moments later to mutter something. He hadn't heard her and he wanted to know what was going on. He dropped her hands in her lap, bringing his hands to her arms and shook her lightly. Stop it. No more crying. This isn't like you. I would know.

Axle5788 wrote:He was confused. She pushed him away again and again and didn't seem to get that he wasn't going to leave her alone. Not here.. not in CC.. not anywhere. She pushed him back and he allowed himself to step back from her. She was upset and he didn't really know why until she started to rant. He listened to her before speaking in a low tone. I'm not leaving. She stepped forward to put her hands on his chest and push him back, and this time, he held her wrists. I said, I'm not leaving. No matter how upset or angry you get. I don't leave you behind, ever.

He had never spoken to her in this tone and was usually following her around like a puppy, but enough was enough. He had given her time to snap out of whatever it was she was going through and he wasn't going to let her milk it any longer. He brought her hands to her sides, then wrapped her up in a big hug. She could cry if she wanted or hit him if she could, but he wasn't going to leave and she needed to understand that. She didn't listen to him the easy way, and now.. it was going to have to be done the hard way. He knew she would probably find no comfort in his embrace but it was better than nothing at this point.
