Sharks In The Water ((Closed D: ))

Davonte shook his head, "Hey, don't bring your mom into this. She gets embarrassed." He kept his voice low so that the people sleeping in the village did not hear, but apparently that was not the case because a little girl peered out of the door to her house. Davonte gave a polite wave and a smile but did not answer her question.

Tarquin snorted and shook his head. As much as he liked bantering with Davonte, he quickly grew tired of his quick comebacks. He resisted the urge to stick his tongue out at him, something he never really grew out of. When a girl looked through her open doorway, he glanced up, immediately clamping his mouth shut. They didn't need anyone overhearing them, no matter how trite their conversation.

Vi was in the kitchen cooking some vegtables she was planning on making for dinner. She was just about to tell Jake that dinner was ready when she heard the voices outside. They lived right at the edge of the village and were the first to know whenever someone walked into town from this side. She wandered over to the door wondering whether or not to open it. Finally her curiousity got the better of her. She opened the door slowly and peered out.

"Hello. Who are you?"

Ry stiffened immediatly in her saddle as she turned to the speaker. She was unsure of whether to answer or not so she casually ignored the question as if she hadnt heard. Sje noticed Tarquin was avoiding the area where the girl was standing. ♥

"So, where shall we bed for the night? I see the sign for the inn, I think." He turned his head away to ignore the girl in hopes that she would not alert anyone else in the home of their arrival and continued down the narrow path. Nischa clomped along easily, too tired to glance at the surrounding area for dangers and the like. It was getting very dark and only the light from the few lanterns along the path lit the way for them. "We'll have to gather supplies quickly, tomorrow. The place looks closed for the night... Unless you guys do pillaging."

Tarquin shook his head. "Let's just get some sleep if we can and get up before dawn to get what we need." Mercy's ears swiveled to catch every sound, though her head hung low from fatigue. Tarquin patted her forehead and sighed. If he were to go to war, he would have to get another horse. He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he put Mercy in any more danger than he already had.

Ry considered the thought of pillaging for a moment. "Could we not leave the money for the stuff on the side with a thankyou note?" She sounded incredibly dumb in her opinion and hurried to explain in a hushed tone, "I mean the doors have no locks do they? we could sneak in and take what we need- put the money on the list with a note telling them the items we've taken and sorry we had to do so without permission. Or we could skip that idea and settle down in the inn and have a drink?" Ry suggested, a grin on her face at the thought of a bed and some cider in her belly. "so what'd you think?" she chuckled to herself as she looked at Davonte there unofficial leader.

her question answered she followed obediently ♥

"A drink?" Davonte's face brightened a little bit. He was borderline alcoholic, and that sounded wonderful. "Sleeping and drinking. Yes. I want it. Let's find a place to bed Nischa and Mercy for the night... And Jonah, if he wants."

[InTheShadows]

Tarquin smiled. "Though I like the thought of having a drink, I don't think it would be appreciated if we showed up late with a hangover." Tarquin, like any other youngster, enjoyed indulging in a few spirits every now and then. Now didn't seem to be the time however.

[blackoutTaxonomist]

Davonte's face immediately fell when he realized that Tarquin was right, "D*mmit, you're right. I'm sure it's some kind of treason to show up hung over. Wouldn't want that Jax fellow to get any ideas." He looked around, unsure if the forest village even had a stable anywhere. It wasn't like they had any livestock. Well, the nearest tree would do just fine for Nischa. He didn't know about Mercy, though. "I don't see a barn anywhere."

[InTheShadows]

"Mercy should be fine if she's with Nischa. Just tie them close to the inn. I'm taking my saddle with me though, just in case." Tarquin walked to the inn and tied Mercy to a sturdy branch. He examined her to make sure she would stay put. Mercy merely looked at him, resting a leg and heaving a heavy sigh.
