[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 3882613, member: 2012"] [b]The Journey Begins (cont.)[/b] Jeddar rolled over in bed with a yawn. For a moment he wasn’t sure where he was, but then he heard that voice he loved. “Bored with me already, dearest.” Minx stretched out her hands over the half-elf bard’s bare chest. “Never, [I]a’maelamin[/I].” Jeddar’s heart leapt at her touch and he wrapped his hands in hers. “You could never bore me Minx.” “You need to go,” she kissed him on the cheek with a sigh. “They won’t wait for you forever.” “I wish you could come with us,” Jeddar rolled her over and buried his face in her ample chest. “But I don’t think the others would approve of our late night activities aboard ship.” “I’d love to fight by your side, but my place is here. The Tiger Guild needs my expertise in the north. The Wind Cities are in turmoil right now.” “When aren’t those lands in turmoil?” Jeddar knew he’d never convince her. Her loyalty to the guild was paramount, in her mind. “Sometimes I think that old guildmaster wants to keep us apart.” “It’s not like that,” Minx gasped as he nibbled her tender bits. “I volunteered.” Jeddar pulled back with a look on his face that would tear out your heart. He couldn’t believe she would do this. He would be gone for a long time and she was letting him go. “You volunteered”, Jeddar got up from the bed and began gathering up his clothes. “I can’t stand you sometimes! You are so arrogant and selfish! This is an important mission and we could really have used your help!” “Gods, you are so dramatic sometimes.” With one bound out of the bed she tackled Jeddar and wrestled him to the floor. “You call me arrogant and selfish and yet you think that I should go everywhere you do. It doesn’t work that way, dearest. I have my life, and you have yours. Why you can’t just be happy with time we do have together I’ll never understand.” All the fight left Jeddar the moment he found himself staring into those two perfect pools of amber. He loved Minx more than he could have ever thought possible. His friends, his homeland, his troubles seemed a world away when he was with her. He’d leave her because he had to, not because he wanted to. His friends needed him more than she ever would, which made it even harder to leave her. She smiled, fluttered her eyes, and then kissed him hard. They pitched and rolled on the floor like [I]The Ishtar[/I] would on the high seas. Jeddar broke their embrace for a moment panting. “[I]Mela en' coiamin[/I].” * * * Two figures stalked the docks near [I]The Ishtar[/I] with two very different purposes. One watched the captain, crew, and passengers with intense interest, while the other looked for an opening to sneak aboard the sailing ship. Neither saw each other and no one noticed them. * * * [/QUOTE]
