The roads were paved with people from all around. People were singing, dancing, eating, and drinking like there was no tomorrow. They were celebrating the town's birthday. It had been 1,000 years since the infamous fire that had put the town on the brink of extinction and killed countless people. But the people oddly enough, ended up having quite a spirit to persevere and reconstruct the town. And so they did. And here she was in the middle of the town square just watching the people as they came together to have fun in troublesome times. She wouldn't say a word just yet but things in other parts of the world were getting bad. For now let the people celebrate and enjoy their lives and she would do the same. She'd been invited by a rare friend. And she even dressed up, in a decision to enjoy herself the best she could. Leaning forward, she grabbed her pint of ale and drunk it slowly, fixing the hem of her reddish dress. Yes, Carene Fey, actually wore a dress. She loathed wearing them, but hey, it was something new. Even her hair had been done and she'd gotten quite a bit of compliments from many people. It made her feel shy, but also good to know that she didnt end up dressing like an idiot. Her only wish was that Aroleir had come with her. She wanted to dress up for him, and she did, hoping to see him at somepoint in the celebration. Taking a piece of meat she looked forward and started laughing, as one of the townspeople started talking to her. "You'd think so. But this is better than being stuck in some encampment with a bunch of sweaty men. It's not fun, not at all. Especially when you see wrinkly ass." The man laughed and then started talking.

The crowd cheered and he clinked mugs with several men and grinned, taking a long gulp of his drink and then took several more in his hands, several kebabs clutched in his teeth as people patted him on the back. They had been playing darts, with the obligatory daggers of course and he'd won the prize. Tons of food and drinks, and of course a very expensive dagger. The blade was pure silver, the handle pure gold, encrusted with a huge ruby and tiger's eye. He was pretty good looking, a nice clean blue shirt, and some new pants, and he'd even shined his boots. Then, he saw her as part of the crowd split. A noticeable red dress, which he found himself stopping to look at from afar. After a few minutes of watching her act around others, he made his way towards her, zigzagging through the crowd and stopping right in front of her. "Herro!" He still had the chicken clutched between his teeth.

Smirking, she shook her head. "Sorry. Maybe you should catch me when I'm not wearing a dress. If we see each other again, I promise we'll have a friendly spar Geon." He said something nodded to her and then walked away. She found herself waving after him and just looking around. Man, it was even surprising to see that some of the other creatures had come out of the woodwork. Some Vamps, lycans, and demons. Why couldnt everyone get along like this on a daily basis? One more sip of her ale, and then a look upward to find the prince of the celebration. She smiled widely and stood in a hurry, leaning forward and grabbing some of the chicken from his mouth, onto her own, and then to her hand taking a bite. Moving closer, she kissed him on the lips and grabbed his arm pulling him towards her. "And here I thought you weren't coming. Trying to pick up some girl, are we?" She smirked.

"Ya!" He grinned, still some chicken in his mouth and just took several of the drinks he had and pulled her close, pushing the drinks between them and moving them over quickly to one of the tables set out over in the grass where people were playing cards and some other games with colored stones. Placing the drinks down, he just sat down and put her on his lap, taking a bite of the chicken and devouring it very quickly and then kissing her softly on the neck for awhile, grinning."Yeah, I have about three of them waiting for me over there by the apple stand." He laughed and just pulled out the dagger he won. "For you sweet heart. Love of my life." He gave her a huge grin, feeling really good today with all the people celebrating. It was amazingly fun here, and he wondered why he had never come before."A whole month of celebration they say! A whole month!" He was speaking and bouncing about like a little boy.

Rolling her eyes, she fought the urge of hitting him on his wasit since he was holding so many things. She sat down on his lap and instantly wrapped her arms around his neck. "In whichcase, I suppose I have to go kick some female butt, then. I get jealous." She pouted playfully, but meant nothing by it. Let the women stare, gawk, and daydream. He always came back to her and that was the most important. Giggling, she leaned closer. "I hope the neck tastes good. I put on something that with 'green apple' in the title." Turning she gave a look to some of the women who were by the applestand and tried to keep her smile in check. She looked down and eyed the dagger, it was beautiful and it looked expensive. She took it in her hand and eyed it. "Wow, Arol. Thank you. It's beautiful. One of the nicest gifts I've ever been given. Everytime I use it I'll think of you." She turned a bit red. "I love you." Lips caught his in a soft kiss. "A month?" She grinned. "This will be fun. It will give everyone a chance to enjoy themselves. Maybe when we come bac next time, we can join in the games being held at the encampment."

"Yeah, you show them who's boss.." He laughed and just nodded."It was how I won that little beauty. Dart game with daggers. None of them stood a chance. They say they might have a fighting tournament as well. Tons of people are going to be joining. Men and women alike. It looks to be exciting." He nodded and just dragged his cheek along her neck and tapped his cheek."Gimme a kiss." He took a sip of his drink, wondering what in the world it was. Tasted like strawberries and banana, it was good, whatever it was. "I love you, you love me. How cute." He rolled his eyes."We should celebrate Carence. I believe, that I would like to spend my life with you forever." He nodded and just looked at some people sitting down."You hear that everyone? I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman!"

"If they try anything I will. If they behave like good little girls then they're saved." There was a mischevous glint in her eyes. He knew by now she was a fighter. She liked to fight, it was second nature to her. It was to her like air was to everyone else. A neccesity. She was a Merc after all and that's a majority of what she did. "Poor people. They should have known better than to let you play daggers. Unfortunately, it's something even I cant beat you at. Well not unless I got naked infront of you, hoping to mess up your concentration. She smiled widely and then gave him a big nice sloppy kiss on the cheek, and then to his other cheek. Poking his side she rolled her eyes. "It's not cute. It's....alright, it's cute." Her head nodded a few times before they lit up by his statement. It always made her stomach flutter. "Yes, we should. We could go on a small vacation. We could...go on an adventure." Cheeks flustered and she turned her head away. "I cant believe you just did that!" She blushed and heard the cheering of the crowd. "You're a piece of work, Aroleir. No doubt, we'll be in for more interesting times to come." She closed her eyes. "This town's become like a second-home...do you think we should try building a place of our own?"

"An adventure huh? And me and you playings darts? You don't stand a chance. I'd like to go on a vacation with you. It'd be fun. We could really get to know one another. I know we do that now, but sometimes when you're away with someone you learn even more." He kissed her quickly and then tilted his head."Me and you? Is that a proposal? Are you asking me to marry you Carence?" He grinned and just poked her side."Because you know I'd love to marry you. Have babies, little monsters running around acting just like their awesome daddy!" He looked at her seriously then, to a now growing crowd, watching them for some reason."Seriously, though. If we want to make a home for ourselves, I need to, and I want to marry you first." He gave her a hopeful smile and fed her some chicken, eating some himself."You should wear dresses more often because you look drop dead gorgeous darling." He stuck his tongue out at her playfully.

She nodded several times. "It should be fun. Fighting monsters, getting into trouble. Getting into fights. Going to new places. There's no one I'd much rather do that with than you. Well Dionysus too, but that's when it comes to twin bonding. But you're right, it'll help us learn about one another. I'll warn you though, I can get very grouchy if something doesnt go my way. Not that it'll change much from now, but in the heat of battle, you never know. " The growing smile on her face wouldnt disappear. "Well I've always been very liberal with things like that. So yes, I am proposing to you. Sould I make it official and get down on one knee and take your hand while asking you?" Good ol' Carence, always doing things her way. She shifted slightly just incase he actuallt wanted her to do it. "I'll admit, the thought scares me. But I'd love to have your babies. I think it's about to time to start a family. And give you the kids you deserve." Head leaned against his shoulder and made a face. "I dont know. I've never been big on dresses. I'm a tomboy I've always preferred the pants and guy things. But I will say this much, when we go out to places like this. Then I'll wear them. There is one point in time I cant avoid putting on a dress. When we get married." Marriage, it was such a wonderful thought. "I think that will be the greatest adventure yet."

"It'll be a piece of cake. So long as you get smelly pits Dionysus to leave us be." He grinned and just nodded."Babies!" He clapped his hands together and then scratched his chin."Mean? Grouchy? When does that ever go away with you Carence? Like never." He laughed loudly at that and just shook his head."I would love to fight alongside you and to learn, to teach. As for dresses, that's fine, it's cool with me, you know that. I can go for you in shorts or pants as well, it doesn't bother me." He nodded and kissed her softly on the lips."Marriage. I'll get Tyr to be my best man. I need to see him actually. Haven't been to see him or Odin for quite a bit actually. I need to." Looking around, he just thought in silence, finishing off his meal."So...?"

"Why dont you do it? You can just counteract him with your feet from hell. I didnt want to say anything but I think people have died from the smell of it. Or havent you noticed how fast people tend to walk past you." She smirked. "You're as bad a little kid sometimes. But someday soon you'll get the chance to act as childish as you want to. Isnt that exciting?" She was rolling her eyes now overhearing a few comments from some of the girls and just shook her head. "I think some people are jealous. Hey. I have my good days. It sometimes cant be helped that certain people make me angry. I've been curbing that though, for both our benefits because I'm not too fond of too much of my bitchiness." Leaning forward she grabbed her pint of ale and took sip. "Give them both hugs for me. Actually I might come with you. I have to talk to Tyr about something." Pulling her arms away from his neck, she moved next to him. "Out of things to say already?" She laughed and patted his back. "It's okay big boy, just stay sitting down and looking gorgeous. I enjoy my eye candy."

"You know how I am. I go on and on and on and then I sort of go silent. I can't help it." He shrugged and just looked around."Why do you need to talk to my brother?" He was curious now and waited for her answer, just sitting back and eyeing the women."Don't mind them Carence. Am I theirs? No. I'm yours, and you've got the key to the chains that tie me to you." He smiled and just closed his eyes, pulling her back to rest against him. "I think you're beautiful. That's what I have left to say." He grinned and just stretched his arms out."Oh, one more thing, I think I'm the smartest creature in existence. That too."

"True. But it always happens in the most interesting points of conversation." She looked at him from the corner of her eye. "Well, I dont know if I ever told you this. If I did, I forgot but anyway. We were talking one day and he was telling me about a laboratory from the past. And the way he described it, it just sounded familiar, so I started to investigate it. Remember the week I went away? Well it was for that. I found out some information about one of the doctors from it. I have it written it down but it's back at the inn." She gave a nod. "I know. But still. I'm just glad that you chose me." She was blushing again. "You're making me act way too girly." Chuckling, when she heard him, she rolled her eyes. "Arent you modest. And here I thought you were just the cutest creature in existance. But yet again, I've been proven wrong." The music hit her ears and she started to bounce to it without thinking.

"Well, I'm sure he'll answer anything for you. He fancies you, since he's all by himself. Odin and I hate it, but he says it's just the way it's meant to be. Get one of your friends to see him will you?" He nodded and stood up with her, moving back and forth to the music."You don't start dancing because you know I love to dance and can't resist and I am cute, I'm the best, I'm Aroleir, that's why." he laughed, always like this in front of her mostly. That and the vibe from the celebration was getting to him, making him really happy and feeling good. He moved with her, spinning her around and then just pressed up against her, smiling, kissing her on the lips softly."What do you want to do tonight? Eat dinner somewhere fancy?"

"I'll make sure to get someone good enough for him. He shouldn't be alone he's a good person. Just like you are. But we'll set him up maybe he'll meet someone at the wedding." She stood an eyed him, with a big ol' grin. Her hand went to his shoulder and she started to move to the music with him. Dancing for the first time in months. It was great. "You are many things, my dear. Cute is one of them. So is the dancing monster. Annoying, loud, yet strikingly loveable are some of your other personality traits." She winked. "Dinner sounds great. Hell, it doesnt matter where. We can get some chicken on a stick from some roadside stall and it'd be fancy enough for me."
