a tale of a lone warrior.

"Ur only an outsider if u let urself be. Thats how i c it" i saod softly

"Maybe," I said and decided I was board with that topic so I climbed up on the railing. I knew I made him nervously because of the large drop, and he probably thought I intended to jump, but really I was just up here for fun. I smiled and looked at his frightened face, "oh lighten up. This is one of the least dangerous things I've done. You might even want to worry what else I might do to get a reaction out of you."

"Like what?" i asked sourly

"Well, for one more scary acts such as as this," I said and pretended I was about to fall and fearfully he pulls me into his arms. "Or I can choose to take the more intimate route if I choose," I said as if nothing happened but my tone became huskier as I said it in his ear. I playfully nipped his ear before letting him go and pulling away so I could lean against the railing.

I blushed hard as i start to turn away trying to hide it. "I prefer the less dangerous approach if u please..." i said softly not looking at her

I giggled at him, "alright. Then I'll play with you as you asked me to." I come up behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck making sure I lean my body heavily on his, though I weighed 100 lbs, so he probably didn't feel the stress.

I blushed even harder but turn around in ur arms

I smiled at him softly. "Looks like I've made a pretty good impression on you. You're a really trusting person you know that?" I said on a serious note.

"Iv never had anyone to really push me to not trust anyone." i said softly keeping my tail loose

"Judging from your mother's character that isn't entirely true. You may look like your father, but on the inside you have the same soft heart as hers, the one that takes risks. You're like your father too, but your personality seems to be more like her," I said. I didn't have to really know him to figure that out. His mom easily brightens up a room, and I think he seems to do the same.

I blushed hard again and try to turn away

Before he could I caught him in a kiss, just seeing what he would do.

I blinked surprised but kissed back slowly.

I smiled thinking how easy he will be. When we pulled away I looked at him, "that satisfy you?"

I blushed and looked down. "Maybe alittle" i said blushing harder

I giggled, "maybe a more than a little."

I blushed even harder turning red under my fur not exactly sure what to say or do

I started to laugh at his expression. "You really haven't dealt with a girl before that isn't your family," I said.

"Honestly no because no other kingdom or dukedom is willing to give their daughter to a halfling let alone what they consider a humanized animal

I looked at him, "strange, considering they'd be willing to give her to an old man." I shrugged, "oh well their loss. But you never even had a crush on any of the women you are around?" He could have anyone he wanted.

"A few on the maids but im 2 shy to really talk to them...." i said feeling embarrassed. "Its kind of funny i can rush into the middle of a fight without fear but afraid to talk to someone i like...." i said laughing alittle without much humor in it

"Because love is something so uncertain that at least in battle you know there is only two outcomes. You're either alive or dead," I replied.

I nodded softly "and only the strongest shall survive" i said softly

"Yes, but love is a battlefield where the outcome is not always the one we thought would happen," I replied.

I nodded softly and sighed
