An assignment? Darling thought to herself and smiled, ...about time someone came to tap my other assets!
As Fallon retreated, she began stuffing her few belongings into a blue velvet satchel. The bag bore delicate lavender embroidery in an ornate floral pattern with a tuft of rabbit fur near the clasp. She quickly wiggled into her dress and slipped her head of red curls into the warm, fur-lined cowl that matched her bag in both color and material. It only covered Darling's head and shoulders but kept her plenty warm in the cool morning air.
Humming a sweet tune to herself, she hopped lightly out of the wagon and turned to put a boot up on the step. The hem of her dress rode up her leg as she strapped a set of polished steel blades to her left thigh with one of the little daggers held gingerly in her teeth. Darling locked eyes with a young man hauling a bucket of water. She teased him with her stare as she worked the buckles, purposely drawing out her movements and stretching her song so that time itself seemed to slow.
With a wink, Darling took the knife from her lips and gave it a quick twirl before it joined it's sisters in their sheaths. Just as that last blade slid home, the enraptured water-boy stumbled over a stone and went crashing calamitously into the mud.
Pleased with herself, Darling turned away from the scene and bounced innocently down the path to where Fallon would be waiting.
[sblock=OOC]I hope that wasn't too long a post. I'm really enjoying this! I can totally tone down the flirty stuff if its a little much. I don't want Darling to be one dimentional, I just think she likes a little mischief when the moment's ripe. As for pillow talk, I had the same thought when I was reading 'bardic knowledge'... that I might kinda RP those rolls like she was recalling a secret shared during a night of passion. I guess great minds think alike? [/sblock]
