    Kasimir came to a stop and slid his hands into his pockets as Nat began to pace. This was the difference between the pair. Nathaira had to work out the answers quickly, come up with a plan, and work to it. Her feelings bubbled up to the surface in moments like this and could overwhelm her...

    Kasimir expected Nathaira to protest, or at least give him the type of look she sometimes gave him when Rumer was about to do something unwise. It said well, are you going to do something? But it never came. Still, he found his eyes flickering to her face to see if she would give away anything...

    The Old Smith's brows drew into a frown as both of them spoke and the type of expression Kasamir had seen him get when considering a piece of ore that would not bend, descended over his face. He knew when his mentor got that expression it was best to wait so that is what the teifling did, with a...

    Kasamir's yellow eyes flickered to Nat and lingered there for a brief pause before returning to the smith. "We can teach basic drills in a few short hours. As you say, these men are not soldiers but knowing how to hold a sword or an axe is better than not being able to," it would give them a...

    "We  want to help," Kasimir gently corrected and took Nat's hand in his, setting it on his lap to give her further support. "You have all been so kind in accepting us, making us a part of this community. Giving us a... home. We want to fight to keep it." Master Greenwater seemed surprised by...

    Leo Greenwater seemed to study Nathaira for a moment before deciding the weight of her gaze was enough to be late to market this day. He took a breath and unhitched the wagon from his horses, tying them up once more to the side of the forge, then motioned for the couple to follow him inside...

    At Nathaira's wish, Kasimir had left the conversation alone for the rest of the night and put it from his mind when morning came too. He knew that if he was patient that she would come to him when she was ready to discuss it. Or... she would attempt to kill those men on her own in her twisted...

    Kasimir's shoulder's sagged with relief. It wasn't quite winning the argument, but it wasn't losing it either which he so often did with his Nathaira. He never liked to anger or upset her and more often than not she was right. It was easiest to agree and he preferred it that way for he knew that...

    Kasimir's lips curved downwards at the term Nat used: half-breed. He had never liked the term that had always been thrown in their face by nobles in their attempt to make them feel less. Unworthy. There was nothing half about him. He was Kasimir. Fully, unapologetically. It mattered not what...

    Kasimir's almost silent footsteps came to a abrupt halt at Nat's suggestion. His amber gaze flickered from her to the people closest to them, quietly assessing whether their human hearing would pick up their dark line of debate. Clearly he wasn't satisfied, for he put a hand on Nat's back and...

    Kasimir hesitated for a moment as though weighing up her words and his response before inclining his head in agreement. But only on one point. "They do not know for certain," he corrected in that soft way he did when Rumer's art skills needed critiquing. "There is no way they do not suspect we...

    "All will be well, Nat," Kasimir said softly and placed a hand upon her knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. Unlike his amore who had sunk into a deep, icy rage on hearing the news of the forthcoming trouble, the Tiefling had taken the news calmly in the same way one might receive the news that it...

    Fable - Ask There is no normal life, just life

    Kasimir had never thought he would be the one out of the three who found it easiest to smile and talk to the human before them. There had been a time in his life when he had thought he would never speak at all. The memory of those dark days surprised him and he felt the relief all over again at...

    Fable - Ask There is no normal life, just life

    One would think a blush would not show on someone with red skin, but it definitely did. "Of course she does," he shot Rumer an almost panicked look. Would Nat think he honestly did not think that? He was quiet with his admiration and love for her. Perhaps he needed to be more bold like the men...

    Fable - Ask There is no normal life, just life

    Kasimir sat on the other side and gently stroked his fingers along her hand. "We thought you might like it ahead of a busy day," that it might make this day easier, he left those words unspoken but they were written in his eyes as clearly as ink on a page. He smiled with as much encouragement...
