He found no judgement but instead a mischievous glint in her eyes. She gave her flirty comment about apples then... kissed him. His mind went blank. Despite his age, he'd never found time to kiss anybody. For a second, he was clueless and only knew that he had to do something. His hand reached...

“Well, you’ve already taken my breath away. I suppose being a mouse wouldn’t be too bad.” He joked in turn. As he swayed with her to the music, he thought about how she had been keeping people’s spirits up as they worked in the monastery. She worked a different type of magic, allowing her to...

Her touch was as gentle and warm as her voice with a hint of playfulness. She took his clumsy compliments in stride and matched them with her own. He guided her across the dancing area as if they were in a dream. Elis kept his eyes on her but carefully avoided any of their dancing neighbors...

The good news was that there was a distance between them and the Baaran lion. The bad news was that it was still a lion and that distance could be crossed easily. Ipatiy explained that the beast was usually in The Spine but choose the plains for its summer home along with its pride. Elis stood...

Taking the lady's hand, he fell into her pull as she drew close. His face became pink with blush as she spoke softly into his ear. For a moment his mind went blank, but he was pulled into action when he realize that he was just standing there. He began to move his feet, gently guiding her...

"I can climb." He responded quietly. Though he wasn't sure whether the spindly trees dotting the plains could really help them hide. The bushes were fairly tall and the grass itself was naturally tall. He knew that at some point they'd have to get out of the river bank. Suddenly, he heard a...

The spectral images of dragons and castles and fantastical creatures captured his attention to the point that he almost forgot that he was standing with another person in a crowded area. The beautiful lights were dazzling like little stars sewn together in a tapestry of magic. Josai's voice...

He had been working all night, almost non-stop as request after request flooded in his direction. He ended up helping the kitchen staff and was carrying a sack of potatoes to the kitchens when a woman hollered about a show starting and the kitchen closing. The sack of potatoes was pulled out of...

The grandfather took the time to chat with Edwina, telling her about the seasons and the type of crops they grew. Most of what the orchard grew were fruits, though they had some nice olive trees but those were hidden safely. Olive trees took so much time to grow and they didn't want seasonal...

Relieved that his companion wasn't going to push for a fight, he listened to the rest of her suggestions. A tarp would be useful for hiding and he silently hoped that there weren't any dogs either. Usually tracking dogs were expensive anyways. Most bandits in these parts didn't get that much...

As always, Elis found himself in a pile of work. His grandparents sent him to go with the delivery of apple butter, honey, and apple flavoring that they always sent up to The Spine. For some reason his folks worried that something would happen to the delivery but Elis suspected this was just...

"No idea who they are." Elis responded in a hushed tone. His eyes weren't as good as the maid's spy glass but he did notice how the group of people were traveling. If it was a caravan, their movements would have been quicker. Usually groups of people traveling wanted to get to their...

The young man couldn't help but chuckle at Arko's list of places to sleep. He knew travelers usually didn't have the luxury of choosing where they slept but he couldn't help but find Arkobold's reaction as a bit adorable. He then noticed Amber who was still fussing over the food and the guests...

"Makes sense. Lets follow your suggestion then and trek on north." Elis decided. Relieved that she didn't find his joke offensive, he took one last look at what was their campsite to double check for any forgotten items. The camp was clean so he began to set off with his new companion. The...

As the first group entered, Amber began helping them with their coats and hanging the coats on the wall right next to the door. Any boots or shoes taken off would be put in the shoe box as well. It was rare for Amber to see a kobold like Akobold before but she kept her mouth shut and simply...
