Seduction and Daggers

[Garile]

Walking into the tavern Garile notices Sangwa sitting with Jekkar. Sangwa somehow seems to sence her being there and looks up and smiles as he spots her. Garile walks to Sangwa who says something to Jekker and then wuickly walks to Garile to welcome her with a hug. Garile lays her head on Sangwa's shoulder looking lazy.

Sangwa chuckles and hugs her closer "Tired?". Garile shrugs a little and smiles slightly  "A little". Sangwa looks her over and asks "Are you still feeling a tad ill?" Garile shakes her head "hmmm no. I even ate half an applepie earlier today." and Garile giggles

Sangwa raises an eyebrow "Some appetite." Sangwa eyes quickly at Garile "I... see..." Garile hugs herself against Sangwa and Sangwa puts his hand at Garile's belly and asks "Feeling like yourself lately? Or feeling more than it?" then he chuckles and hugs her back

Garile frowns a little and shakes her head "Not feeling really sick or anything" Sangwa nods and replies "Quite the contrary, I believe..." Garile just purrs as she kisses Sangwa's neck.

Sangwa says "This is good news for us, my dear..." Sangwa embraces Garile tightly and stays like that for a while.

Garile runs it over in her head a few times then blinks "How do you mean?" Sangwa chuckles and remains silent for a while while Garile frowns but enjoys the hug

Finally Sangwa replies "You've asked me something once." Garile shrugs not remembering what he means. Sangwa presses on "About having kids of our own?"

Garile looks surprised and asks flustered "You.. think I'm pregnant?" Sangwa nods slowly "Don't you?" Garile giggles still looking sometwhat flustered "hehehe you had me there. Pregnant? me?"

Sangwa caresses Garile's face "That's what I would say." Sangwa moves his head to kiss Garile and Garile returns the kiss but shudders all over and a tear runs out of her eye. Sangwa caresses Garile's face again, clearing the tear and kisses her. Then he smiles worried "What is the matter love?"

Garile blurts out "I.. I .. can't be pregnant.. I.. am way to young. I.. I would.. make a lousy mother." Fear runs through Garile's body making her shudder even more

Sangwa chuckles and shakes his head "I've never seen you insecure."

Garile starts to panic and she can't keep the fear from showing on her face "I can't be pregnant. I just can't OK" Sangwa hugs Garile and murmurs reasuring "Now Garile, it'll all be right."

But instead of being reasured Garile looks scared at Sangwa and suddenly she get out of the hug and dashes out the door leaving Sangwa suprised but then Sangwa shouts after her "Garile! ... Garile!"

Garile is fast and running to the alleys she quickly looses Sangwa. Running into an alley she know well Garile crawls in her little corner there and shudders and cries "I...I... no.. it .. can't be...... I.." Garile sniffs as she takes out her dagger and cuts herself in her hand but the pain doesn't work as it normally does amd Garile shudders and cries again. Then she cuts herself again deeper this time making the pain overwhelming. Garile calms down a little looking at her own blood fall on the ground but still can't stop completely and still shudders and cries.

Suddenly Sangwa falls to the ground with a bang, injuring himself. Garile looks at the blood running from her hand and looks up hearing the sudden bang and looks scared. Sangwa chuckles with effort "Vodul's kind to me, through the nastiest ways possible. Through a fall he brought me to the highest point of my life."He sees the blood and looks at Garile's hand "What happened?"

Not being able to answer him Garile looks down but can't help looking at her bloody dagger. Standing up slowly Sangwa walks over to Garile and kisses her hand and then hugs her closely "Garile... please, don't be scared." Sangwa grabs the dagger with uncanny speed and drops it to the ground, behind him.

Not knowing what to do Garile closes her eyes as she hugs Sangwa close "I'm scared" Sangwa looks Garile over for other injuries relieved to find none beside the deep cut in her hand. Garile looses control again and shudders and tears flow from her eyes

Sangwa holds Garile's hand and casts a healing spell, then smiles at her "You silly thing... You don't need to be scared..." Sangwa hugs Garile very closely and licks her neck Garile hugs Sangwa close to her and replies "I don't know if I can be a mother Sangwa." Sangwa looks at Garile and raises an eyebrow and asks "Why's that?"

"I'm.. scared something might happen to us ...... leaving them as I was left. I.. I... never had a family after that.... I was always treated badly.." Garile blurts out and cries again frustrated by her own feelings

Then Sangwa chuckles as softly and kindly as Garile ever heard him "Do you know how long I live this life? Even if something were to happen to me, I'd have others to look for our offspring." Garile shrugs not knowing what to say and Sangwa holds Garile's face at his shoulder and caresses her head softly "I am so sorry you had a troubled childhood Garile. But we are better than those who left you. We are stronger, more loving."

Garile looks in Sangwa's eyes "Do you really love me?" Sangwa meets the look, his confidence as stern as always. Garile looks away and asks in a tone that makes it obvious she wants it but believes it to be impossible "me?"

Sangwa nods and words it as well "I love you Garile. Yes, you." Garile tears up again and presses her head against his shoulder hiding her tears in his fur and he kisses her head and caresses it very tenderly "Garile, my pretty treasure. Don't scare me like that ever again."

Garile smiles slightly tearfully "I'll try" Sangwa continues "I don't remember being so afraid of anything else here in Hydlaa..." Garile smiles and looks up with tear filled eyes and kisses Sangwa and he returns the kiss and hugs her very tightly

Sangwa lets out a relieved chuckle "Good thing I fell down from the roof here... Or I would still be looking all around for you as franctic as a starving clacker.

Garile whispers "I love you Sangwa. And.. sometimes that scares me..... I'm sorry." Garile looks down again

Sangwa looks deep into Garile's eyes "And I love you, Garile... Greenmoon." Garile looks confused "Greenmoon? Does.. does?? "

Sangwa nods "It's the name of our family". Garile swallows and blinks "Are you asking me to marry you?" Sangwa nods again "Would you accept such an honest invitation, from the depths of my heart?"

Not being able to speak again but now becuase of happiness Garile smiles widely and throws her arms around his neck and kisses him passionately. Sangwa is caught by surprise, his eyes widening a little, then he relaxes and returns the kiss and the embrace.

After the kiss Garile can't help giggle and says "Yes I would love to be your wife" Sangwa chuckles "Then my wife you are, Garile. We should arrange a ceremony to celebrate such occasion..."

[Garile]

Tried to write it a bit different this time. Not sure if I like the outcome yet. Might have to shave it a bit more. What do you all think?

[Raa]

Okeeey, that was too soap opera-ish for me. But it's good, not enough blood and gore and violence, though.  And you did it again! Dialogue needs to be separated, so it should look a bit like this:

Walking into the tavern Garile notices Sangwa sitting with Jekkar. Sangwa somehow seems to sence her being there and looks up and smiles as he spots her. Garile walks to Sangwa who says something to Jekker and then wuickly walks to Garile to welcome her with a hug. Garile lays her head on Sangwa's shoulder looking lazy.

Sangwa chuckles and hugs her closer "Tired?".

Garile shrugs a little and smiles slightly  "A little".

Sangwa looks her over and asks "Are you still feeling a tad ill?"

Garile shakes her head "hmmm no. I even ate half an applepie earlier today." and Garile giggles

Sangwa raises an eyebrow "Some appetite." Sangwa eyes quickly at Garile "I... see..." Garile hugs herself against Sangwa and Sangwa puts his hand at Garile's belly and asks "Feeling like yourself lately? Or feeling more than it?" then he chuckles and hugs her back

Garile frowns a little and shakes her head "Not feeling really sick or anything"

Sangwa nods and replies "Quite the contrary, I believe..." Garile just purrs as she kisses Sangwa's neck.

Plus, it makes it look as if you wrote more than you really did. Cheating is fun.

[Garile]

hmmm yeah I know I didn't seperate every dialogueline, but I feel that really makes the story looks way longer then it actually is and I don't think that is such a good thing.

Did try to seperate it more so the dialogue is more of one person and to make it more obvious who is speaking, but with this much dialogue it wouldn't look good in my opinion if I seperated all of it.

And yeah it's a bit melodramatic, but it can't all be blood and gore, although it wasn't exactly bloodfree either.

[Garile]

Thanks to Zan for the spell and gramar check

[Garris Shrike]

Thanks to Zan for the spell and gramar check

grammar .

Nice, you're doing great. I keep up on this story, its a personal fav of mine.

[Garile]

*smiles*

Good thing that wasn't part of the story then

[Garile]

Walking through Sangwa's house Garile isn't sure how she feels. It felt strange somehow. Ofcourse she had been here several times before, but this time she would actually start living here. Garile smiles to herself again as her eye falls on the bar that Sangwa had kept as he had taken over what used to be a tavern. The bar wasn't the only thing still remembering of the old tavern, but it was obvious it was used as a livingroom and sometimes meetingplace now.

Walking up the stairs she brings her bags with her. Upstairs she walks through the bedroomdoor and puts her bags next to the bed. She looks around and smiles to herself. She was  definately going to redecorate a bit but the room had a nice feel to it. Garile smiles as she sees her brush already laying on one of the closets. Forgotten last time she was here it seemed to greet her.

Sangwa had been busy but they decided with the engagement it would be best if she would move in with him. It wasn't like she really had a place of her own or much stuff to move. Walking to the closet Sangwa had said was free she starts unpacking sighing at the wrinkles in her dresses. Well atleast she would probably be staying here a while. Garile scratches her ear still a bit unsure at that thought and then shrugs deciding to see how it goes as it goes along.

Garile looks outside and frowns seeing the crystal was already shining a bit less bright. She had lost track of time unpacking and she has to go to the tavern where she had agreed to meet Vexonee and Parallo to celebrate her engagement. Quickly she unpacks the second bag deciding to unwrinkle the dresses another time. Perhaps Parallo had composed a new song. Garile smiles to herself remembering the composition for the harp Parallo had written.

Arriving at the tavern Garile looks around and notices Vexonee and Parallo sitting with an Ynnwn far in his middle age. Moving closer she recognizes him as the aspiring blacksmith that recently joined Natrina's traders. Several scars showed he didn't just make weapons but had had to use them aswell. Hwnae she believed his name was, but she didn't spend to much time at the forge so she didn't know him to well rather spending her time on more interesting things then blackksmithing. Vexonee notices Garile and smiles warmly to her gesturing for Garile to come over and sit next to her. Garile returns the smile and quickly makes her way to the table they were sitting at.

[Anumesa]

Love your story!! 

I would just say, be careful of mixing tenses like here: "Vexonee notices Garile and smiles warmly to her gesturing for Garile to come over and sit next to her. Garile returns the smiles and quickly made her way to the table they were sitting at." (should be 'makes' not 'made' and 'are' instead of 'were')

Keep up the great writing 

[Garile]

*whistles innocently*

Don't know what you're talking about

Glad you liked it.

[Garile]

Quickly taking a chair from another table she sits down with the three. Hwnae smiles and nods as the two other both greet Garile cheerfully.

"Hi you three how are you all doing?" Garile smiles

All three mention they are doing fine. Then Parallo, tactfull as ever, brings up the subject they were all thinking of.

"So you are getting hitched with Sangwa?." Parallo smiles as Vexonee rolls her eyes at him.

"Well infact Sangwa did ask me to marry him." Garile smiles towards Vexonee rolling her eyes. "I just came from moving most of my stuff into now our house"

Vexonee giggles "Knowing you, you already made plans for redecorating the place."

Garle giggles aswell "Aaahh you know me so well. I'm thinking Neo-Oja-traditional as a theme. Definately some things for on the walls."

Hwnae simply looks slightly amused as he sips his ale

Parallo quirks in "Have you heard me and Hwnae are writing a book together?"

Garile raises an eyebrow "Will it be a good book?"

Parallo smiles and nods "One about smelting and the properties of various ores."

Hwnea adds "It touches on smithing too I would think."

Parallo continues "Sounds interesting, eh?"

Garile smiles to Vexonee before smiling mischievously to Parallo "hmmm yes thrilling, but please don't give away the ending."

Parallo frowns "No need to be so mean. I used that list you got me and my own knowledge to gather all known materials for Hwnae to study and experiment with."

Garile nods "Anything interesting come out of those experiments yet?

Hwnea shakes his head "Not yet. But I have been busy blacksmithing. That darn Harnquist really is a disgrace but he has a permit it seems that is hard to get." Hwnae shakes his head in disbelieve "Just look at the blades he sells they are practicly not worth anything. Just collecting rust most of the time."

Garile's ears perk up "So you could make me two good daggers if I needed them?


Hwnae blinks then shrugs "Better then his thats for sure. I'll even give you a guildsdiscount on them although it will take a while to make them if you want good ones."

Garile smiles and nods

The rest of the night they have fun and before they know it time has passed and it's time to part again. Before they part however Garile reminds Hwnae about those daggers and he promises to not forget.

[Garile]

Rubbing her stomach Garile can still not believe yayelle is no longer there. Not that it had been an easy delivery but she had gotten used to the little one moving around in there. Letting out a sigh she carresses the daggers she had gotten from Hwnae. He had done an exelent job and she was feeling she really wasn't deserving of them right now. Garile smiles and shrugs to herself. "Nothing else to it then getting back into shape.". Walking to a chest she had not opened in a while Garile opens it and takes out an armor. Leather armor is still her favorite and this black suit is defintely her favorite leather armor. Garile slips it on somewhat suprised it still fits again although it's tight at some places.

Walking outside she enjoys wearing the tight fitting armor flexing her muscles as she walks towards the arena anticipating the training, smiling wide as she walks faster as if she has picked up the scent of her prey. At the arena they work her hard and soon Garile knows just how much work she still has to do to get back to her old level. Thankfully these had been practice weapons or she would have had quite some wounds. Bowing to her sparring partner Garile smiles at the painfull muscles. She was definately coming again.

Several days later Garile walks together with her friend Vexonee and Vexonee's friend Rooker who Garile is starting to get to know better. Vexonee asks Garile how Yayelle is doing and how Garile is feeling. Garile asures Vexonee that she and Yayelle are fine and that the training she has been having really isn't to much. Infact Garile is wearing the daggers of Hwnae in their sheaths and her black leather armor again. Garile is thinking of going a step further with the training but she isn't telling Vexonee that yet.

On their way Garile notices Kiraki lounging on one of the roofs. Garile waves to Kiraki who slowly nods as she is lazily sitting pretty much ignoring the three after the nod. Somewhat annoyed by the indifferance Garile motions for Kiraki to come down so they can talk, but Kiraki doesn't seem to pay attention anymore looking  over the city. Garile raises an eyebrow and vexonee lets out a sigh noticing her friends focus and suspecting of what way this is going.

Garile looks around and then moves to an open door, walks inside and as Vexonee and Rooker looks somewhat suprised Garile climbs out a window onto the roof where Kiraki is still lazily gazing out on the city. Garile moves to the top of the roof and smiles to Kiraki "Hi." Garile says as she sits next to Kiraki.

Kiraki smiles slightly and nods to Garile. Garile caresses over her armor and suddenly holds a dagger of Hwnae in her hand and twirls it. "Feeling up for some dagger training Kiraki?"

Kiraki stops what she is doing and grins at Garile her hands floating around her belt "Want to play?"

Garile smiles mischievously at Kiraki "If you are up to it. I am a bit rusty ofcourse"

Kiraki smiles stands up and places herself infront of Garile and makes a slight curtsy "I am all yours.. that is if you can touch me"

["Training" is a bit further in the future so I might write something that I'll place before this one in the larger scheme, but I just felt I had to start writing this part first. ]
