The Sprite & the Fairyhunter:  Quality Time

 

Room 6 (The Hobgoblin)

 

Don’t laugh, Adrian told himself. You will NOT accomplish anything if you LAUGH.

            “I’ve been waiting for you,” it hissed, glaring evilly at the pair.

The first snort from his dainty wife brought on half a smile and a reply sniggle of his own. “You…you’re serious?” Adrian asked, barely smothering his laughter. Seeing the creature shift toward him, Adrian put his hands up in a sign of peace. “Okay, look, how about you go on your merry way and we’ll just let you…well, y’know, LIVE?”

It looked from Adrian to Neena, then suddenly hissed and rushed at her. Adrian sighed…he’d REALLY tried to save this poor idiot’s life…

Neena rolled her eyes at her husband while drawing Flame. “Seriously,” she said, using a quick upward stroke to disembowel her unfortunate attacker as well as remove the pouch from its side. As it burst into flames, she inspected her fingertips.

            He arched an eyebrow at her. “You wanna do your NAILS while you kill him?”

“I could have, couldn’t I?” she sighed, holding her hand to him with a lofty look at the ceiling.

He took her hand and kissed it with an overly smarmy grin. “God, I want you,” he declared, looking up at her from over her hand.

“Me,” she asked, scooping up the pouch with a grin, “or this?”

Adrian took the bag and rummaged. “500 gold, some scrolls, an eyepatch, a little silver pitcher….” He flung the bag over his shoulder to the floor and raised his eyebrows briefly before snaking an arm around her waist.  “And a little winged gem.”

She blushed, then put her arms around his neck. “Next door?” she asked.

“In a minute,” he said, moving in for a kiss.

“Better be more than THAT…” she murmured, attacking him right back…

 

OOC Break

 

From the Yorkshire Tortoise, our shimmering one woman support group in the D & D PLB Ring:

 

Look folks, lovely stories, but I am afraid I need to have a few words with you.

First we had a monster that was just squished, the next was stopped in its tracks by crying and now we have the romance.

What is going on, this is Dungeons and Dragons!!

We want heroic fights. We want Daring Deeds. Battles with mighty swords and clashes of steel scimitars. Claps of thunder and gory wounds unfit for the likes of a meek vegetarian.

Now come on, buckle up or we will be stampeding to the exit and demanding our money back, then you really will know what a battle is lol.

She whose shimmer is weakening.

 

Adrian looks up briefly and pulls away from his wife. "Um...did you ALSO happen to notice the talking turtle above our heads?"

Neena winces. "Yeah...kinda breaks the mood, huh?"

With a duty laden sigh, the two split reluctantly apart like 7th graders at a Catholic school dance. "Alright, alright, we're fighting, we're brave," Adrian groaned. "Sheesh...it's like having the God of War as your mom...!"
