Re: Take it Back! (Austnailo, Diagasvesle, Blarg, Guan) GMed by MAF
Oh great, another wagon, Anthony thought sulkily when they returned to the site of their ambush. It was all gold and gems too - even to the noble, used to gaudiness as afforded by his family's right of rule, it was a bit much. Well... actually, no. It was a lot much. Waaaay too much. ...Unlike their last deadly wagon-encounter, though, this one was functioning. He wondered what manner of trap would be waiting for them this time... it had a driver, too. She had a string wrapped around her hand, it was probably going to pop out a cannon or someth-
Anthony's jaw dropped when the curtain opened. He never thought he'd meet another snake-woman like Alexia! Her scales were all a shiny, sleek white... and her tail was... was so long! What was that dress she was wearing - he'd never seen it's make before, but it was so stylish... her eyes were that exotic red like Alexia's, but her hair was a delicate white like the rest of her, with just the lightest pinkish tinge, and unlike his Captain's it was silky, glossy, and ohhh-so-long!
And... and she was smiling at him!
The nobleman stood stock still, gawping at the woman while she said something and then some other people say some other things. Then, suddenly, Anthony ran off quicker than the blink of an eye into the woods.
...
A few moments later, there came a rustling from the bushes, and then Anthony emerged, leaves and twigs caught in his hair and clothing... and a colorful arrangement of many different kinds of flowers in left hand, another flower and it's stem tied into a bow around the arrangement's middle, while his right furiously dislodged nature's hangers-on from his duds until he was free of them once again. He veritably charged the very tasteful, sensible, and most importantly stylish wagon and presented the white snake the bouquet.
"You most certainly do not have the wrong group, milady!" he said, with a winning smile. "I assure you, we have everything under control, but your aid would of course be most welcome. Please, take this as a gesture of our gratitude, and my esteem. I'm Anthony Icegrave, fifth son of Duke Redmond Icegrave of the Northern fief of Vigrid, by the by, charmed and delighted to make the acquaintance of such a stunning lady as yourself."
