| Kieran Dwin'mitore: Dymphna? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Eh.. well then.. I guess not Aislinn Ua Ruairc: buy Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Close enough I suppose Kieran Dwin'mitore: What a pleasant surprise Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smiles warmly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I was hoping I could swindle your sister into making me another set.. But I guess not Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Another set? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Of armor.. Or perhaps an outfit Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Is that one not good enough? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smiles to himself, but doesn't turn around* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Who said that? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If I didn't know any better I'd think you were trying to come up with excuses to be here... Kieran Dwin'mitore: You said it was a public shop Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *kicks her chainmail around* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: It is.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Then why accuse me of that? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Because you're still here even though the tailor is not.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *leans back against the wall comfortably, smoothing out his silks* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And in my room.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *dumps the ball of blankets and sheets on the beed* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he looks up at her through his lashes when he is satisfied with his clothes* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *a small grin toying at the corners of his mouth* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, it hardly looks like someone's room. How am I supposed to know? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Where else would there be a bed? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Other than someones room.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: I've had my bed in a closet once before Kieran Dwin'mitore: *shrugs easily and goes back to fiddling with his vest again* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: How'd that work out for you.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Uncomfortably. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks around thinking she needs a chest or dresser of some sort..* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *finishes with his vest and sets about making her bed, not paying her much mind* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Is there a reason why you keep making my bed? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pats the taut sheets and turns around to sit on it* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Who wants to sit on an unmade bed? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: There are chairs.. you know.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks around* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Downstairs, you mean? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *plops himself down* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I know. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well I suppose someone should make use of the bed since I rarely do Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: How do you manage to get it unmade all the time then? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Eh.. recent mishap and begging from my sister... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Hm? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: This time atleast.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: She gave me a pouty sad face when I wouldn't take off the chainmail since it was digging into me... Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Since I didn't have anything else to wear she gave me two pieces of fabric to use as clothing.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *snorts* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So I used the blankets instead.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *snickers softly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *leans back against the wall, arms crossing beneath her chest* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So this is what the famed Aislinn of Ua Ruairc does in her free time, then? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *eyes the assorted... stuff.. on the floor* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Famed? Pff.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ahh, but the famous ones always say that Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well I tried to prevent that.. but various people around here didn't let me.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *shrugs once, squinting as he examines the room once again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You need.. a tapestry.. or something. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Neh.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Simple is better... Kieran Dwin'mitore: The word is bare, dear Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Same difference.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *chuckles at her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Of course Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I rarely use this place anyway.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *leans back in her bed and props one leg up on the other* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Dy just put the bed here incase I needed it.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Which is a rare occasion... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *shakes his head, chuckling again, but doesn't comment this time* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *reaches to her hips before patting over her front and back and huffs* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Damn outfit... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *sits up and props himself up on his elbows* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Hm? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Something wrong? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head with a soft grumble having forgotten she doesn't have pockets* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Nothing.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow, studying her again, as he does often* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Are you always this talkative, or do you just treat me special? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Actually.. you've caught me at a moreso talkative moment than most others get.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *blinks at her almost dumbly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Are you serious? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Family excluded.. yes.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *rolls his eyes as he laughs and lays down on the bed once more* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow, looking to him briefly but otherwise mostly avoiding eyecontact* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So aren't you going to tell me what is making you so talkative? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I might consider it if I knew.. perhaps since I am no longer in pain and bleeding on a constant basis.. I've managed to not be so annoyed for an evening.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *rolls his eyes again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, as long as you're positive about the whole deal Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Always.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *bursts out laughing* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So you DO have a sense of humor! Aislinn Ua Ruairc: On the rare occasion.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ahh.. Well good then Kieran Dwin'mitore: *sits up sharply and gives her an eye jokingly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Do you laugh too, or am I expecting too much? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seems rather focused on counting the floor boards* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I laugh plenty.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: For some it takes more effort than others.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *watches her intently with a grin spread across his face, not saying a word* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *watched him though in a manner that she hoped wouldn't be obvious..* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *chuckles again, not breaking his gaze* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So how good is Aislinn at what she does? I've heard so many stories I don't know Kieran Dwin'mitore: what to believe. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Aislinn doesn't have an ego enough to answer that question whether for good or ill.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *continues chuckling* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Surely you know what you can do Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Ofcourse I do... and I'm sure those that have observed me know just as well.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *sizes her up after sitting up on the bed again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You look just like anyone else to me.. Plus a scowl Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I do not try to stand out amongst a crowd.. looks can be deceiving.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *rolls his eyes and shakes his head* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *after a pause, he springs up from the bed and dives into a roll, landing at his feet between her and her armor, sizing her up with the same grin* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *struggles at the motion to keep the scowl ever present* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *his hands rest easily at the pommels on his belt, and he stands relaxed* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So what does it take to get you to laugh, hm? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Why is it you seek such a response.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he tilts his head at her and moves his hands to smooth his doublet again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Curiousity. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *started to get a bit fidgety as weight was shifted from one leg to the other* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gaze remained strictly diverted from his own.. nerves starting to run away with her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he smiles to himself as he tugs at his coat one last time* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he crosses his arms across his chest and eyes her again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You really don't budge for anything, do you? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Natural form of defense.. there is ways past it but... Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he shakes his head and steps forward casually, almost strolling forward* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So tell me about yourself. Do you dance? Sing? Strum? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *swallowed hard and seemed to be trying desperately yet discretely to move back further* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *against the wall despite the fact it wouldn't budge.. swallowing hard* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *noticing this, he continues, buffing his nails on his shirt and examining them as he waits for an answer* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shook her head rather swiftly, chests natural rise and fall with each breath was quickened, sweat starting to form as nervousness took over* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he pauses and looks up from his nails expectantly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he taps her on the shoulder lightly, if she lets him* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *snickers* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lifted her gaze to meet his at the tapping on her shoulder, focus shifting from each of his own in turn as if examining to find out what it is he wanted though would only expect him in the end to walk away as if he had done nothing at all..* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm likely one of the least interesting persons you can find here.. I assure you.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *tsks quietly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: For someone so popular, you really don't have enough pride Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Tis not a matter of pride more than simple fact.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he moves to the wall next to her and leans against it, his shoulder touching hers quite purposely* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So I am assuming you don't dance, then? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gaze dropped again as he moved and as his shoulder brushed hers she tried to move towards the loom but the large thing having left no space, atleast not comfortably* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You presume correctly.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: But you have some skill with a blade? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Two blades, actually.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ahhh, a woman after my own heart. Kieran Dwin'mitore: So how can you fight but not dance? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Never tried.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: It is the same thing, really Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Though blade isn't my primary expertise.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pokes at her shoulder once with his finger* Kieran Dwin'mitore: The bow, then? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, I can't really relate to that one. I'm a horrid shot Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly with a shrug* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Bow primary... two weapons second... sword and shield third if needed.. though I avoid it if possible.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *wrinkles his nose at the thought of a shield* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Such an unwieldly thing, a shield Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods a bit* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Tis why I don't like to use it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: But I know how none the less.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seems to relax a bit rather noticably though still slightly on edge* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he nudges her with his shoulder once, more to see how she'll react than anything else* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well? What kind of swords? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: broadsword and offhand sword.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Broadsword, really? You don't seem like the broadsword type of woman Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What makes you say that.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smirks and lifts himself off of the wall, strolling downstairs easily* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You seem one for nimbleness Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You start looking for a place to hide Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You have hidden yourself well Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You are now moving stealthily Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Usually.. though I don't bother with a sword if trying to be stealthy.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks startled for a moment, then bursts out laughing* Kieran Dwin'mitore: My my, you are full of surprises Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs indifferently* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Good eyes, accurate hands, quiet feet, and... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pauses to size her up, holding back his usual grin* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he decides not to finish and just sits down next to her, propping one leg up on her knee* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looked upward towards him though head wouldn't tilt back to do so* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *slid her gaze to the right as he moved to sit though not fully..* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So.. do you plan to sit here all night waiting for my sister? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Who said I was waiting for your sister? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Figured I would offer some form of excuse... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he leans back against the wall with his hands knitted behind his head* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *shifts his leg on her knee not-so-subtly in an effort to get more comfortable* Kieran Dwin'mitore: No excuses here. With company as lively as this, who would leave? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Heh, lively.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Like a box of rocks.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh come now, don't make fun of yourself.. You take available jabs away from me when you do that. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose then that you will have to find something else.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he looks at her headband curiously for a moment, and then pokes at the knot holding it together* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *jerks her head away, hand lifting to grasp the knot at the back and looks to him* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he just smiles* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I thought as much Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *merely offers him a questioning glance* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he continues smiling and pats her on he cheek lightly.. if she doesn't move, of course* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You do have a measure of pride, even if you deny it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *pulls her head back as questioning glance grew more defined* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Denying it and not gloating about it are two different things.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he shakes his head again and slides to lay down across the bench, both of his legs stretching out across her lap now* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *brows knitted and eyes narrowed a bit.. focus leveled upon him as questioning stare remained... had it been most any other person they would have gotten smacked around yet curiousity got the better of her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You never did tell me about yourself, you know Aislinn Ua Ruairc: So? Most males don't even get my name.. thank my sister for that.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *snickers softly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: She is a character isn't she? Solian really got himself into trouble with that one Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes well.. that would be if he was actually around.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: When he comes back I'm sure he'll have a new orifice implanted by Dymphna. Kieran Dwin'mitore: You're rather good at changing the subject, you know. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Amongst other things.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Which are...? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Most things in life aren't that easy.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well that's positively murky Kieran Dwin'mitore: So are you telling me I'd have to pry such an answer out of you? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *tries really hard to keep a straight face* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I said nothing of the sort.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *crosses one ankle over the other, making every attempt to unsettle her in her seat by shifting his position* Kieran Dwin'mitore: And if I said please very politely? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seems to have come to terms with this blatant invasion of personal space though her foot does shift around slightly as if checking something..* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'll give you an apple.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: If I said please? Or regardless of whether I say it or not? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Only if... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow lightly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Please. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Ha! You call that very politely? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *the corners of his lips twitch upward almost imperceptibly, his eyes twinkle amusedly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he now asks sincerely, which contrasts greatly against his reclined position* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Pardon madam, would it be a trouble for one to ask of such a favor as to ask if I be worthy of the time necessary to receive an apple graced by your blessed hand... Kieran Dwin'mitore: ...Please? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lets slip the faintest sound of laughter albeit muffled and brief, almost mocking* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And what if I said I don't even have one? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he flashes her his grin, pleased at the laughter, even if it was mocking* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I would be honored so that the stars would shine themselves to exhaustion in jealousy that words spoken by a dove were delivered to me. Nothing such could be negative. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he shoots a wink and closes both eyes, the grin still planted* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *contained the desire to laugh and just shook her head, grinning slightly as she reached into her pack and pulled out an apple, starting to munch on it..* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Good.. cuz I'm feelin a bit peckish.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he opens one eye, smelling the fruit, and bursts out laughing* You see: 2 apples Kieran Dwin'mitore: Sly fox Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he spins around and puts his head in her lap quite casually, shifting this way and that* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *seemed relieved that he finally took his legs off her lap and sighed a bit to be relxed once again though distracted as the apple made her she noticed all too late what his plan had been and coughed, nearly choking on a bit of the apple* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *chuckles* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Careful now, don't choke to death on me Kieran Dwin'mitore: Most people chew first Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *groaned softly as she managed to not swallow the piece whole and chewed it before speaking* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Not one for true politeness are we? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks up at her with wide-eyed innocence* Kieran Dwin'mitore: What do you mean? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *she seemed increasingly nervous if not moreso than previously yet at the same time strangely comforted by his bold advancement and confident presentation to the point she wouldn't do anything against him in his endeavor.. yet.* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: That look does not fool me.. my sister wore it out.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he wipes the look away and gives her a devious grin* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I forgot who I was dealing with Kieran Dwin'mitore: So then, are you ready to tell me about yourself yet? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *free hand rested at her side where her pack was while the other fed her a bit more* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shook her head slowly in response to his inquiry* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You're a tough nut, you know that? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I lost count how many times I've been called stubborn in the past few days.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Bah. What irritates me is how tight-lipped you are about yourself Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *non-chalantly takes another bite of the apple, taking her time before answering* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And I'm supposed to be affected by that? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks as if he doesn't know what to say... for the first time... ever* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well.. no.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *shakes it off and reaches up in an attempt to grab her apple* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *moved the apple to the side a bit as she peered downward to her lap and nodded* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Good.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *makes another attempt at the apple* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, at least you're talking to me more consistently now Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *free hand was no longer free albeit unnoticably as arm was lifted up higher to keep hold on her apple* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Make sure to mark the occurance down in your calendar.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he grins at her and makes yet another attempt at it, reaching up and* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *quite promptly flicking her nose* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *scrunches her nose up and shook her head slightly though kept apple up high* Kieran Dwin'mitore: A victory nonetheless! Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he lowers his arm and rests it across his chest again* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Will you tell me about yourself now? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs slightly at the first comment, lowering her hand to bite the apple* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *laughs and shakes his head* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Name your price, fox. I'm willing to pay it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shook her head again* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: It is not me that wants something.. so why should I have to put effort into that.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: You are absolutely impossible Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well then, I challenge you. To an archery contest. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow* Kieran Dwin'mitore: If I win, you tell me everything about yourself. If I lose, I'll do whatever you like. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And what shall be the targets? Kieran Dwin'mitore: The archery buttes in the castle Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And are we counting by how many can hit center? Or how many in certain time/ Kieran Dwin'mitore: We'll do it by score. 3 for the center, 2 for the rung outside, and 1 for the one outside of that. Kieran Dwin'mitore: 3 shots determines the winner. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I hope you know how it all works because I've never used one of those things before Kieran Dwin'mitore: *flashes her a grin and rolls to his feet* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Come, come, fox Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *gets up and finishes her apple on the way* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *eyes the horse* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Walking or riding? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I knew you were at the bank earlier.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: How long did you want to follow me here? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Heh Kieran Dwin'mitore: I went that way because I saw you... Heyy Kieran Dwin'mitore: *mumbles to himself* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You're better than you let on Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You say I have good eyes.. *Travels to the castle* Kieran Dwin'mitore: The most curious I've ever seen Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I say all my senses are heightened.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: I say you may have a bit of bluster there after all Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *points at that spot* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *Kieran Dwin'mitore points here* Kieran Dwin'mitore: This center one, we'll take turns Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Top or bottom Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *coughs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Bottom, I suppose Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smooths out his silks before placing them gently into his pack* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Now then.. Shhh Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *coughs again and looks down, rubbing her forehead* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he pulls back gingerly on the bowstring, pausing as he takes aim* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *breathing in slowly, he releases and with a sudden twang the arrow flies free and misses horribly, skittering acrossthe stone wall* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ahem.. Right.. your turn Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *lofts a brow* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You really sure you want that information.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Cuz this isn't the way.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smiles warmly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Your turn Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugs and nods* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *eyes the large wooden thing infront of her carefully* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *sighs a bit and pulls her bow and an arrow* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *examines the bow quietly as she draws* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *aligns the large yet thin stake of wood in place, pulling the string back with little difficulty or thought, yet slow and precise for the time as body crouches* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he smiles to himself, a low chuckle escaping* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *string released with an audible twang of vibration as arrow pierces through the air and thunks loudly into the butte, a ring off center* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *snaps his fingers at his failed diversion, but follows the path of the arrow* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Mmm... and I thought it was going to go through the poor thing.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: shame.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: 2 for you Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *silently watches, half expectant that he will hit center at some point* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *expecting much of the same result, he quickly draws and releases and to his surprise, he hits dead center... but unfortunately on the wrong butte* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Blast! Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Hmmm.. funny... cant shoot eh? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *makes a face at her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: It was an accident Kieran Dwin'mitore: 0 points on my end.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And you expect me to believe that? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Why would I lie? I told you I was a horrid shot Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Why wouldn't you.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *readies the bow and arrow as normal though aim and shot was suprisingly quick* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *striking into the pole holding up the scarecrow dead shot to watch it tumble down appearing satisfied..* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You missed?! Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I always hated that thing.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: On purpose?! Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose I did.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *narrows his eyes at her as he unslings his bow* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he readies an arrow, pulls, and releases all in one motion. It is obvious he's done this before, but he's not any good at it* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *the arrow thuds into the ground in front of the butte, and he curses softly to himself* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well then.. I don't think there's any point to your last shot Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well.. I could miss you know... Kieran Dwin'mitore: You'd win anyway, fox Kieran Dwin'mitore: I missed all three Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well then, go ahead and take it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well then.. why did you attempt this if you knew you weren't going to win? Kieran Dwin'mitore: I wanted to see how well you shot Kieran Dwin'mitore: And I knew it would confuse you Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I was half hoping you were lying.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Sorry.. I really am that bad Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pulls his silks out and starts redressing* You see: Uur-Anor *Fine Woolen Pants with Gold Stitching down the seams* [Masterpiece] You see: Uur-Anor *Golden leather Boots embossed along the sides with small Suns* [Masterpiece] You see: Uur-Anor *Silk Vest embroidered with a Sunburst pattern in Golden Thread* [Masterpiece] Kieran Dwin'mitore: So then, fox, what do you claim as your winnings? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *takes the unnoticed opportunity to examine the master works of his clothing* You see: Uur-Anor *soft linen shirt with embroidered collar and cuffs* [Masterpiece] Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he smooths out his vest and pants and looks to her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: For you not to ask me to tell you about me.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *laughs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Creative Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shrugged slightly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: So what now, great Aislinn? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *squints up at the sky for a moment* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Tis not like I need anything.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Though the calling of the shop floor is getting louder... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *rolls his eyes* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I made the bed, you may as well use it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: No.. I'll just mess it up and use the floor.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods a bit* Kieran Dwin'mitore: ....What? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks at her incredulously* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *returns his glance, partially expecting him to say something else..* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Why mess up the bed if you are goign to sleep on the floor? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Because I can? Kieran Dwin'mitore: So we should just do things because we can? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *hesitates in answering that* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Uhm... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *nudges her with his hip teasingly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks to the nudging hip then up at him then back down towards the grass* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes.. I suppose... as long as one is willing to deal with the consequences of said choice Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks surprised at the answer* Kieran Dwin'mitore: That seems out of character for you. Responsible, i suppose, but out of character. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What makes you say it is out of character? Kieran Dwin'mitore: You don't seem like one who acts on whim, you act for your duty Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I act on instinct.. duty is for the Royal Guard Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smiles at the answer* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Pardon me, then Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods with a shrug* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he leans on her shoulder lightly as they talk* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Then maybe it isn't so out of character Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head slowly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Maybe it isn't.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he grins now, leaning onto her more fully* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I was wrong about you Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *didn't seem all to care much at the moment that he was leaning on her* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: How so.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: You're not about as interesting as a brick wall. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *snickers softly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If you thought I was as such.. why bother persisting? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Gut? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Well since you got past the 'brick wall' phase... doesn't mean the rest well be easier Kieran Dwin'mitore: Liar Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Oh really? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Nothing is tough to me.. Except archery maybe Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Is that a challenge? Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow at her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Maybe. Did you have something particular in mind? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Not entirely... though considering the confidence in your remark of nothing being tough to you.. and the topic of why you said it... Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, I just thought that you were going to suggest a wrestling competition, since the archery was your idea Aislinn Ua Ruairc: The archery was my idea? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *laughs* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *flashes a grin* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Why would I be foolish enough to challenge you to something I'd assuredly lose? Kieran Dwin'mitore: It was certainly you Kieran Dwin'mitore: *nods a few times* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Riight. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If such was the case.. it would have been guaranteed that the results of winning would have been different.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: What would they have been? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *shakes her head slowly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: That I won't say... though I will say that I am not the challenging sort.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh no, you can't back out on me now. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *still leaning on her, he nudges her with an elbow* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Why not Kieran Dwin'mitore: Because. *said with a certain finality* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Because nothing.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Because you've piqued my curiousity and I need it sated Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You need it sated... Kieran Dwin'mitore: Mmhmm Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And in knowing such only piques my desire not to tell you anything.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh, you're bad. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Come on now, name a price. I really do have to know Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Yes well.. we all have our moments I am sure.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *she moves to stand from the chair* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *stops leaning on her and turns to face her* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Is it always about naming a price? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Everything has a price. Well, almost. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Things don't have to have a price.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: This really is a horrible torture, you know. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm sure I could come up with many others.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: I know, it's a bad habit of mine is all. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *makes a face at her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Are you really going to leave me like this? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I could think of worse ways to be left.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: And I could think of better Kieran Dwin'mitore: *sizes her up in his obvious way* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I'm sure you could.. though it seems that is not you with the upper hand at the moment... Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh, you're very bad. Kieran Dwin'mitore: I just want to know what it will take to get it out of you, is all. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *she winked to him as she stepped off to move past him* Kieran Dwin'mitore: ... Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Something to remember me by I suppose.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And that would be too easy.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose you will just have to figure it out.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: As if I'd forget my fox.. my evil, evil fox. *She starts walking away* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Don't think you're getting away that easily Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *looks to the side as if towards him but not fully* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Oh? Is that so.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *moves towards her slowly, the grin coming back* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Yes, actually, that is Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *didn't move, curious to what it was he had intended* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he puts an arm around her casually and rests his chin on her shoulder* Kieran Dwin'mitore: How about a bet? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Not something I generally partake of.. though I will hear it out.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: First one to the shop gets two requests that will be fulfilled by the other? Kieran Dwin'mitore: A race there, mounted. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Heh.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I suppose.. since it will get me closer to my resting spot quicker.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Splendid Kieran Dwin'mitore: *grins and pats her on the shoulder as he moves towards Thryealis* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ready? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods* Kieran Dwin'mitore: GO! *They race to the shop though Aislinn stops dead track just before getting to it, letting him pass and win* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *laughs* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *snickers* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *grins broadly* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I win Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Are you happy now? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Oh, delighted Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly knowing she stopped to let him win* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *turns Thryealis around, completely oblivious* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Now then.. First request. What would the winnings for the archery contest been if you had brought it up, hm? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *grinned slighlty knowing he was going to waste one of the requests on that* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: There would have been no winnings because I wouldn't have brought it up... Kieran Dwin'mitore: The truth, now Kieran Dwin'mitore: *looks absolutely pained* Kieran Dwin'mitore: You're horrible Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Mostly.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Second request.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: I can't believe I'm actually accepting that damned answer... Kieran Dwin'mitore: Right.. second request.. right.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Sleep in that damned bed of yours tonight Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pokes her in the stomach* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: What's it to you where I sleep.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow for a second, but decides he'll play nice* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I made the bed, didn't I? Kieran Dwin'mitore: Besides, fox, you cheated me with my first request Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Then you may have another in replacement of it.. if it will soothe your pained self.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Aren't we a doll? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I have my moments.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *smiles in spite of himself* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Alright then. I think I'll save this one Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *nods slowly* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Very well Kieran Dwin'mitore: Don't think I'll forget either Kieran Dwin'mitore: Hey.. What would you have requested if you had won? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *grins* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Gah! Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps another time.. *She heads to the door of the building* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *wonders if she'll actually use the bed* *He hides but fails stealth check* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Mmm.. I might have actually let you get away with sneaking around.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *arches an eyebrow* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Don't lose any sleep over it.. *Steps inside and closes it behind her and heads upstairs* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smirks at the door opening* *She moves out to the balcony* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *stands infront of this one to hold it closed* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *struggles with it at first... then feels foolish* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Blast it Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *hears the door downstairs open again though doesn't actually believe he left* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smirks a bit and shrugs and gives in. opening the door* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Found someone! Kieran Dwin'mitore: *freezes* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Not too slick are ye.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *thinks "Maybe she won't notice me"* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Ahem.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: Those blasted eyes of yourse Kieran Dwin'mitore: Just eh.. making sure that eh.. you used the bed.. right.. ahem.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Mmhmm Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Right... Kieran Dwin'mitore: Well, would you look at the time.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *smirked a bit and moved rather slowly towards him, one careful small step after another* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *pauses and simply watches, looking more than a little curious* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *eyes slowly lowered over him then back up again to meet her gaze directly to his* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *an eyebrow rises slowly as his curiousity mounts* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *leaned in eerily close towards him, cheek barely brushing against his own as she whispers in his ear* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: If I told you everything at once.. where would the fun be.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *doesn't seem to have any response at all, he just inhales deeply at her closeness as if that were answer enough* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *didn't seem to care if she got a verbal response or not.. pulling back slightly and turning her head just slight to almost let lips brush over his though don't and steps away, turning towards the bed* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *manages to hold back the utter look of shock that almost came across his face* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *clears his throat once and rubs the back of his head* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *moved to the bed and droped down upon it, stretching out on her back.. boots and cloak tossed to the floor.. pausing briefly to see if he would remain standing there or not* *He hides and stealths over* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *appears sitting comfortably at the foot of the bed* Kieran Dwin'mitore: I was most definitely wrong about you, fox. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *pretended not to notice his movement to his destination though looked to him as he made himself noticable..* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: And how so this time.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he smiles wickedly at her* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Wouldn't you like to know? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Perhaps... Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Though I will not lose sleep over it.. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *turns over to curl towards the wall seemingly intent to go to sleep* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *seems as if he were about to say something, but pauses and just takes off his boots* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *didn't turn to look to him as she spoke* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he glances at her once to make sure she's drifting off and then pulls off his shirts and cloak* Aislinn Ua Ruairc: You are rather bold Kieran... Kieran Dwin'mitore: *he lays back and makes himself comfortable* Kieran Dwin'mitore: Is that a complaint or a compliment? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: I do not know... I suppose you'll find out in the morning by how damaged you are.. Kieran Dwin'mitore: *grins to himself, not phased at all* Kieran Dwin'mitore: As long as I keep the majority of my appendages, I suppose. Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Majority? Aislinn Ua Ruairc: Heh Aislinn Ua Ruairc: *silences then and slips into slumber, too tired to care* Kieran Dwin'mitore: *chuckles softly for a moment and closes his eyes, falling asleep with some space between them* |
