Tᴀɪɴᴛᴇᴅ (Moony)

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Nope)

Cael hesitated. Well, he supposed he should have been expecting that question. He didn't have an answer ready. 'I came for you' didn't work real well. "I heard there was a sword master here," he answered finally. "I wanted to study under him."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Well yes, there is. Gregory is the best there is. He's even taught me a thing or two."She said with a laugh. "It seems that a woman can not afford to stay in a woman's place in this age."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"A woman really should," Cael said, crossing his arms. "Sword-play is not a thing for a lady."

[moonlightnightmare]

"As if I care about your thoughts. I have twenty children here that are all under my care because the House Mistress doesn't seem to be getting better. And I will defend all of them as if I were a bear to her cubs. Understand? And I will go to whatever measures to make that possible."She said as Araylin crawled into her lap as she sat on her bed.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael huffed and looked away. This girl had more fire than he thought she would. This might be a tedious assignment.

[moonlightnightmare]

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were surprised to find that I'm not like most girls my age."She smirked. "Keep that in mind if you're going to stick around."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

I wish I didn't have to, Cael thought. Instead of voicing his sullen thoughts, though, he said, "Okay."

(I think one of the children, maybe her sister, should get kidnapped at some point)

[moonlightnightmare]

((Yup.))

"So tell me more about yourself, mysterious stranger."She said with a laugh, "Because all I know is that your here to study under Gregory, your Scottish and your name Cael."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael shrugged nonchalantly. "What else is there to tell?"

[moonlightnightmare]

"Come on now. You obviously know more about me than I know about you."She said, "It's only fair."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Actually, I know you're name. That's it," Cael lied. "The famous thief of Exeter. How could I not know?"

[moonlightnightmare]

"Do you honestly think I'm wreckless enough to let people find out my name? The castle guards could find me if I did that."She said with a laugh. "You know more about me then your willing to say you do."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Cael chuckled lightly. "Fine. I did a little research. I've good at finding people."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Okay, so I know your name, where your from, and that you can find people."She laughed. "I guess I can deal with that for now."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Good," Cael said, giving her a coy smile. "Because that's all you're going to get for now."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Well then, I guess I can deal with that."She grinned.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Good girl," Cael said. "Maybe there is hope for you."

[moonlightnightmare]

"You're very strange."She shook her head, laughing.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Hmm..." Cael said. "I think I'll take that as a compliment."

[moonlightnightmare]

"Whatever makes your bed."She grinned, laughing.
