[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 3372661, member: 1154"] Antonus graciously accepts the succor provided and retires to a secluded corner of one of the less-populated rooms... A short while later, an old half-elven woman approaches Antonus holding a wooden bowl filled with a thick, brown stew. "You look hungry, dear," she says as she hands him the bowl. The two exchange a smile as Antonus takes it. Lacking a spoon, he eagerly hoists it to his lips. [i]Not gourmet by any stretch of the imagination[/i], he thinks to himself, [i]but tasty and filling... Best food I've had in weeks, to be sure.[/i] "I want to thank you so much for helping us... Such a brave and dutiful young man..." "Umm... Thank you, ma'am." Antonus sort of nods anxiously... He's not used to having such attention lavished on him and it makes him a bit uncomfortable. "Tell me... is there a special lady in your life?" "No..." "Really? That's wonderful news! My grand daughter, Kayla, could use a companion! She's been so sad since her mother, bless her soul, passed away..." The old woman pauses for a moment in reflection. It quickly passes and she continues, "Come, you must sit with us... It's not good to be alone." [i]No such thing as a free meal[/i], Antonus thinks to himself. [i]Oh well, I guess I owe it to her... This stew is very good.[/i]. "Of course... Thank you for the invitation." [i]Wonder what's wrong with this "Kayla." I bet she has buck-teeth. Buck-tooth Kay--[/i] Antonus stops mid-thought as he reaches the fire where Kayla and her grandmother have been sitting. The young half-elven maiden stands up, and despite the dirty, ragged dress clinging to her frame she is the vision of beauty. Long red tresses surround huge eyes the color of emeralds, and full, luscious lips stretch into the most beautiful smile Antonus has ever seen. Kayla looks back at her grandmother and then back at Antonus, who finally realizes he's been standing there staring at her. He quickly wipes away the stew covering his upper lip and stammers out, "Oh! Hi! Ant I'mtonus-- Antonus! I'm Antonus!" Kayla giggles. "Kayle. Charmed." She sits down. "Would you like some more stew?" "Oh, no. I mean, yes. I mean, not right now... Still have plenty!" He tilts his bowl towards her to show that it's still quite full. The old lady watches the two and sees they seem to be getting along, and decides she should excuse herself. "I'm going to see if anyone else wants some stew," she says as she departs, grinning slyly.
