Time to Cool Down

[Namari Lovelle]

It was right after their argument, and Namari was going through the woods to get to Benny. She needed to relax. After the fight with Phillis, people moved quickly out of her way as she walked down the streets of Avaleur. Many knew the expression she wore, and that expression was of a very large anger.

"Stupid Phillis...god damn idiot he is!" she shouted. But someone heard her as she spoke. She was in the deepest part of the woods, where Benny would go to hunt, and she heard a twig snap. She stopped and quickly drew her sword. She heard thumping noises as something large ran towards her. Before she knew it, a full-grown dragon burst through the trees and almost tackled her. She lay on her back as the dragon's face was directly above hers, it breathed heavily. She grinned, "Hello Benny!"

She pet the golden dragon's head and he seemed to smile, getting off of her. She stood up and continued petting the dragon. Benny rubbed his head against Namari's body, almost toppling her over. He was very strong, and well-trained. She could ride him now, which was also a very fun experience. Namari was the first living thing Benny saw, so in his eyes she was his mother.

"I'm sorry I haven't visited enough, it's been so busy after the war. I know you wanted to fight, too, but we still need to practice fighting together," Benny nodded in agreement. Namari had taken up using the magic she had to cast long-distance spells, that she could use from Benny's back. Since her kind were dragon riders in the past, she believed that her and Benny could do it. Namari leaned up against a tree and sat down. "For now let's relax, I had a long day," she sighed. Benny seemed to frown, and lay down next to her. He rested his very large head on her lap, and fell asleep. The elf chuckled, and pet his head.

Loren sat in a tree nearby smiling with his eyes closed, he looked quite feminine but he was in fact a male.

He had been sent to Avaleur after the moles had been killed in the castle. The Hydra always had a plan but to him it seemed like they just threw random people at random things... He didn't care though. As long as the money staid good.


"You hate him too eh?" he said keeping his eyes closed talking to the, what he imagined was a girl.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari opened her eyes with a slight frown, looking around. She spotted someone sitting in a tree. She then proceeded to ask, "What do you mean?"

[Deleted]

"His high and mighty majesty, King Phillis," Loren said it with as much distaste as one would have for the taste of mud in their mouth.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari raised an eyebrow, but smiled none the less. "I don't hate him. Just pissed at him. Though, from the way you speak I can assume you hate him?"

[Deleted]

"Oh, well and here I thought we had something in common already," he smirked, "Yes, I hate him mostly cause he is a thorn in my side." he huffed as he opened his eyes and turned his head to look at who he was speaking to.

He nearly fell out of the tree in astonishment, laughter was hardly kept in as he recognized her. Her was the woman he had sliced the arm clean off and almost lost his head to. He had to wait a month before his hair looked decent again.

[Namari Lovelle]

(( : O Interesting idea my friend! ))

"What's he done to ya?" She asked. Benny woke up, yawning and looking at Loren with slanted eyes. Namari pet his head to relax him, before turning to look at Loren. She had been too busy defending Cecilia to know who was trying to kill them, let alone the guy who cut off her arm. She did not know who Loren was.

[Deleted]

(( haha thanks, and i had a feeling it would get confusing with this account having several characters, this guy is Loren XD ))

Loren smiled keeping the ironic laughter inside, "Oh just made things a world harder for me is all, and his attitude, ugh, what a selfish bastard." he played with his hair as he thought of that night and how his hair still wasn't back to it's old length.

[Namari Lovelle]

(( Sorry yeah, I know it isn't Devon but I accidentally keep calling him Devon XDD" I'll edit that post asap ))

"That he can be," Namari smirked, chuckling. "What brings you to this part of the forest?"

[Deleted]

"Business.... Business business business, thats all it is nowadays," he sighed about to draw his blade when the slanted eyes of the dragon made him think twice. Instead he pulled out a dark purple feather and played with that.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari raised an eyebrow at the man, continuing to pet Benny's head. For some reason her dragon was not calming down...

"What sort of business?" she asked, looking more attentively at Loren.

[Deleted]

"Just castle business is all, that sort of thing ya know," if he would have done his intel like he should he would have known Namari was the hand to the king, and kept his mouth shut.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari sat quietly thinking for a moment. As the hand, she was to have knowledge of any castle business. And if she didn't and asked for it, she would get it. She assumed, though, that she just didn't hear about it. She didn't suspect he did not work for the castle, since she worked for Phillis and was mad at him. She knew it was possible to hate someone you worked for. "What business do you have at the castle?" she asked.

[Deleted]

Loren smirked and raised an eyebrow, "That is a bit personal isn't it? I don't think me and you should now each other on such a personal level, may not be good for either of us."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari raised an eyebrow, this time a smile was not on her face. Then, she smiled once more, standing up. Benny did as well, the dragon a bit taller then the branch Loren sat on. He still stood behind Namari as she spoke.

"Well then, let me introduce myself. I am Namari Lovelle, hand of the king. I'm sorry my friend, but as hand of the king I am entitled to know all business related to the castle. So, if you mind please telling me," She waited for a reply. Benny, more suspicious than Namari, watched the man very carefully.

[Deleted]

Loren turned a bit white, it was however probably unnoticed as he had a fairly white complexion. He smiled sheepishly, "Well I do beg my pardon miss, I didn't realize," how could he be so stupid! "I am Loren, hand to no one, but my business I suppose I should explain it is a dream really, you see all my life I have wished of being a garden expertise. I had heard of the great beauty here and prayed to the gods I may be accepted in.... So that is my business." he smiled again, hoping his on the spot lie would work.

The dragon making him very nervous.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari is a trusting person. She would keep an eye on Loren, but she would be more trusting than she should. If Benny had not been there of course. He huffed at Loren, irritated, and Namari gave her dragon a puzzled look. She placed her hand on his leg before turning to face Loren once more.

"...no worries. I'm sure they will accept you as a gardener. Though, a better place to become a gardener would be somewhere like Littlebay. Why not there?" she asked.

[Deleted]

"I just came from there you see, and I was hoping that a greater life would be here in the city." he twirled the feather at it's end between his finger and thumb. Why did this happen today?! Why on a day that was suppose to go so smooth?

[Namari Lovelle]

"Maybe, depending on how you do things I suppose," the elven woman looked at the feather, proceeding to ask, "What's that?"

[Deleted]

Loren felt sick, did this girl have a sense telling her to ask all the wrong questions, "A feather..." his brow began to sweat. The sword started to sound real good.
