    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    She hesitated a little, but noticing how long the food was taking to be prepared and cooked, and they were halfway through cleaning so it wouldn't hurt. She put down the books that needed to be put away and sat next to Mara and what they were reading without saying another word. There were a lot...

    Private Tales Gifts from the Lion God

    "T-Thank you, miss" She said before sitting down at the table to her meal. The food was warm. And it tasted delicious. Better than the scraps that she had subsisted on for a year now. If she thought that half-stale bread was heart, this was an entire feast! She scarfed the food in front of her...

    Private Tales Gifts from the Lion God

    She regained consciousness in the cart after falling from her hunger and weariness. It was a pretty big building, at least to her given that she had never wandered from the Shallows (excluding times where she was forced to in search of food). The guards in this part of Alliria would have never...

    Private Tales Gifts from the Lion God

    In her shy nature, Ivy was reluctant to reach out to the woman giving her bread. But, her hunger won out over her head as she grabs for the bread, tearing the crust with her teeth and filthy hands. To her it was the first proper meal in months, nevermind that it was stale. Free food is free food...

    Private Tales Gifts from the Lion God

    A penny, a coin, bread, or anything else would have helped stave off starvation for Ivy. She begged all morning for something to eat, having eaten nothing since yesterday morning. She has been on the streets since she lost her family and tribe in a storm that washed her in The Shallows. It has...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    Ivy thought about it for a minute. Being a foreigner in the slums makes her big bait to traffickers and bad people. Not knowing the language, especially written language would make her more so. She heard how bad people would take girls like her off the streets and into the mines or other...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    "O-Okay". She picked up as many books as she can hold in her hands, they weren't too heavy so she could pick up 5-7 of them at a time. She could have picked up more is she wasn't starving. She puts them on a shelf and picks up another batch. She smells the delicious food that seems to be cooking...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    Ivy handed over the meat to the Half, who looks at her with pity being another stray in the city. She looks down shamefully. But the man didn't seem to mind too much, she told her she has to work for her meal. 'No free lunches' he said, which unfortunately was something she had to understand...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    They came to a place where Ivy has not been in before, mostly since she was mostly focused on surviving and hasn't seen anything around her much besides the markets and slums of the Shallows. Inside was warm, really warm for her. Much warmer than the streets she sleeps around. The sound of the...

    When they got to the butcher place that Maranae was taking about, she placed an order of two leg lambs. The sight of meat made Ivy's mouth water. It was a luxury for Ivy to even have meat. Even on the island she came from where she recalled most of their diet was fruit, grains, and fish. She...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    "Never enough food". That was a feeling that Ivy can agree with. She was led through a part of the Shallows she has not familiarized herself with to get to that butcher ship Maranae mentioned. A small girl like her would stay in the area she would be more familiar with. She couldn't risk going...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    “T-Thank you. Your name is pretty too Ms. Maranae”. It was genuinely the first time somone gave her a compliment for her name, or probably in general! The woman, who told her name was Maranae was trotting along happily, as if she was younger, about her age if not younger, like her past life, of...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    “O-Okay” was her only reply. It’s strange to her. The theft she committed seems to have no issue with the woman in front of her as she smiled, but not in a sinister way. She was energetic too. Ivy was curious of this master she speaks of. A slave? Apprentice? She couldn’t know. But her guard has...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    Having put her guard down, her offer to show her how was offered. She had to really think about it. She was scared of what lay outside of the Shallows, but the woman seemed more scarier. And it was better to have a scary person on your side than against you. She picked herself up and handed the...

    Private Tales Dances With Thieves

    Ivy cowers at the sight of her teeth. She dared not try and fight her. To her frightened child mind, she is pretty scary, but she doesn't seem too intimidating, but that might be for show. Of course, when she tried to explain what she should do to hunt outside of the city, and how less dangerous...
