    Private Tales There and Back Again

    Rainie nearly laughed aloud at his skittish reaction to her reflexive comment about bravery. She was half-tempted to tease him about it, but reminded herself that while he had once been quite used to her antics, he'd had quite the reprieve from them as of late. Which meant, of course, that she...

    Rainie's smile, already far too satisfied, grew even more smug. The look of superiority, however, was utterly ruined by how dark and besotted her eyes were. Fingertips, toughened from lute-playing, now played idly in his hair with a lazy reverence. Deep in her throat, she hummed a single note of...

    For a moment, the thought that Faurosk would reject her froze Rainie in place. He wasn't saying anything, and the hand on her waist felt a bit like he was pushing her away. In that split second, shame washed over her, worried that she had misjudged the entire situation. But then, he leaned in...

    Where Faurosk teetered backwards, Rainie snuck slightly forwards. She felt a bit like they were two bits of magnetic metal, drifting towards each other without sense. But still, she listened. A sad smile crossed over her face at his reply. "I am sorry. I made myself hard to find." Her tattoo was...

    Rainie's eyes tightened and her mirthful smile went stiff about the corners at the truly dreadful nickname. A wave of childish offense rose within her, and she valiantly resisted the urge to smack Faurosk with a pillow. Instead, she closed her eyes, let out a sigh, and looked down at their...

    Private Tales There and Back Again

    Rainie couldn't help but laugh and preen at the applause Faurosk gave her in response to her magic trick. It was a simple one to him, most assuredly. But, the mere fact that he found it entertaining was enough for her for now. At the same time, she was a bit disappointed. And impatient. He may...

    Laughing to herself as he left, she watched Faurosk go with thinly veiled interest. As he spoke to the barkeep, she pondered over his words. Leaning against the table, she smiled and observed him as her mind raced. Her stomach had been keeping up a routine bout of spontaneous acrobatics for the...

    Private Tales There and Back Again

    Rainie mirrored his raised brow with one of her own, and tilted her head this way and that as if considering multiple options. Her facade of hemming and hawing could be clearly seen through, however, as she couldn't quell her giddy grin. Internally, she marveled at Faurosk's audacity, finding...

    Private Tales There and Back Again

    At his casual declaration, all the air in Rainie's chest left at once. She turned her wide eyes to Faurosk, who managed to look incredibly unruffled, save for a flush across his face where his beard didn't reach. The silver-tongued bard found herself speechless for a beat too long as she...

    At his answer, she had to lean away and cover her mouth at the laugh that blustered forth. Her melodic laugh echoed beyond their quiet bubble, loud and without abandon. She leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes as she clasped a hand over her mouth, her entire body being taken over by her...

    "Nothing of the sort," She assured him in a hasty murmur after he mentioned 'thumping' someone. She couldn't help but wonder exactly how she looked in his eyes. Was she some villain, here to sway him away from the path of good? Something to be avoided, for the sake of his own morality? A...

    Rainie chuckled low in her throat before giving up her ruse and offering her hands. She had to rotate a little in her chair to do so, and decided to draw her elbows together a little whilst she did it. The action was just for a bit of fun, and had about the same effect of her crossing her arms...

    At that, her curiosity managed to overcome her nerves. Lips parting unconsciously, Rainie advanced where Faurosk retreated, leaning forward and searching his skin with keen eyes for the aformentioned imperfection. She did not find it immediately, even after being given a hint to it's...

    As Faurosk's arm wound its way about her shoulders, Rainie's smile carefully froze in place. Damn him for turning their proximity against her. So, she may have miscalculated, but it was nothing she couldn't handle! She was a master seductress after all, and- And then he started speaking. Worse...

    Private Tales There and Back Again

    With compliments flying at her left and right from the caster across from her, Rainie couldn't help but preen a little. Even if they were just surface level, or worse, merely teasing, she decided to choose to believe them. Much less hurtful that way, and when had Rainie ever chosen something...
