Amber

[formerslave]

[The amber reveals an elven face, tired and weary. He's leaning a bit to his sword, looking mildly annoyed.]

I need a place to stay. Just a bed, nothing more.

[He should be used to sleeping on the floor after his time with Danarius, but apparently he was spoiled these days after spending three years on a moldy mattress in a ratty mansion and then many more in a bed with a snoring beast and a dog.

About a month was all he could manage, and it had left his muscles sore and markings aching.]

I will not stay with any mages.

[Okay, this kid was kinda cute.]

I believe I have an arrangement in the works, but you have my thanks.

[alley_kit]

[That she is. And doesn't she know it.]

Oh! That's good then.

I think you'll like the beds here; they're really comfy. And definitely better than the ground, even if you've got a blanket to wrap up in.

[She sounds like she's speaking from experience.]

[formerslave]

[Kids sleeping on the ground wasn't a new thing to him, so he simply nods in acknowledgement.]

It would be... favorable to be a bit more comfortable. I did not use to need this luxury, but I suppose I'm getting older.

[alley_kit]

Yeah. Though I think everybody likes to be more comfortable, no matter how old they are.

[Oh, that's right, she hasn't introduced herself, has she?]

I'm Wily-Kit, by the way. What's your name?

[formerslave]

That's true, too.

[His features soften a bit.]

I'm Fenris.

[alley_kit]

Nice to meet you, Fenris.

So um... if you don't mind me asking, why don't you like mages?

[At least she assumes he doesn't like them since he refused to stay with any.]
