stomping into camp.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

you aren’t stronger than one, measly cleric? ( *🤔 ) very well, you will have my sword. she will have to go through me first.

i don’t know that she will be jealous of our fruit.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝔬h, ‍ ‍𝘴𝘰 ‍ ‍𝗯𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙. @fugueacres]

i can absolutely get five golds' worth of strawberries. the middle finger, though .. she'll try to gut me. i will tell her i have nothing to gut, and she'll try to still.

is that a safe course of action. is simple jealousy not enough.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

you needn’t share with me … but, if i give you extra … strawberries, perhaps. and a middle finger to the cleric.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝔬h, ‍ ‍𝘴𝘰 ‍ ‍𝗯𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙. @fugueacres]

i would very much enjoy sharing in this upcoming bounty. i would very much enjoy proving the cleric to never doubt my wonderful financial decisions again.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

chk … she is a pain. i will not deny anybody their fruits.

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝔬h, ‍ ‍𝘴𝘰 ‍ ‍𝗯𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙. @fugueacres]

oh .. huh. that was fast. i asked the cleric and she told me to go away.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

… alright then. *💰

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝔬h, ‍ ‍𝘴𝘰 ‍ ‍𝗯𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙. @fugueacres]

sun melon ! 😁

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

for what? 🤨

[‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ 𝔬h, ‍ ‍𝘴𝘰 ‍ ‍𝗯𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖊𝖓𝖙. @fugueacres]

@swordofsilvers, hey .. can i have five gold pieces please.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

yes. i am feeling fine now. i simply needed to let it pass. where did you have to go this time?

[𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒 @MOONISHWINGS]

have you been taking care of yourself?

i understand the parasite can be . . difficult.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

i did not say that.

you are not losing me. i am here. restless and irritated, but here all the same.

[𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒 @MOONISHWINGS]

do you think i wish to leave and never speak to you the entire journey?

i just . . i’m sorry. i’ve missed you , truly. i would like to not lose you either.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

i was feeling unwell. the parasite—— i went to walk it off.

( ears twitch, then a huff. )

you disappear without a word for weeks at a time, yet it is i in the wrong for leaving for a night?

[𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒 @MOONISHWINGS]

you didn’t come back.

( her jaw clenches. )

not to mention , you’ve been rather cold since my return from my quest from the Moonmaiden.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

i was walking.

( eyes narrow. )

[𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒 @MOONISHWINGS]

“ you left in the middle of the night. “

( a deep frown. )

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

yes. when you have a group of strong—willed and opinionated people, there is bound to be a fight. it is good anyhow. it builds character.

[Adventurer Elise @RunawayRoyal]

I just want one day where there is no fighting. Is that too much to ask?

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

arms crossed, glaring right back. “ what? ”

[𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐎𝐈𝐒 @MOONISHWINGS]

she’s glaring at the reader.

she’s heavily upset right now.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

*🙄

[Adventurer Elise @RunawayRoyal]

Hmph.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

[Adventurer Elise @RunawayRoyal]

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

[ᵐⁱᵍʰᵗʸ𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 @drowsurvivor]

[Adventurer Elise @RunawayRoyal]

Ugh.. too much fighting occuring.

[‍ ‍┈┈ ‍ ‍𝖇𝐥𝒐𝒐𝐝 𝖘𝒐𝐫𝐜𝒆𝐫𝒆𝐬𝐬 @BIOODIEDBIADE]

@swordofsilvers yes. you're an excellent sparring partner.

[𝐭𝐡𝐞 ‍‍‍𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫, ‍‍‍𝓵𝐚𝐞’𝐳𝐞𝐥. ‍‍‍ @swordofsilvers]

[ᵐⁱᵍʰᵗʸ𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄 @drowsurvivor]
