Rusty

[fierce_marauder]

So, did you ever think this day would come? The day where you'd miss good ol', dashing Hervey so much that you just couldn't resist pulling him out to play again? 'cos, you know, I've been itching to play.

C'mon, what was it that made you miss me? My undeniable charm? My rugged good looks? The tension and the terror of being a pirate, roaming the high seas for trouble? Well, whatever it is, it don't make any difference to me, as long as I'm out here again!

Now, who else is around here? Let's see what lovely little ladies I can't snag. It's only fun if they're hard to get.

[spelucky]

Well. You're certainly... confident.

[fierce_marauder]

Sure thing I am. C'mon, what's there not to be confident about when you know you kick ass?

What about you, huh? Shy kinda' guy?

[spelucky]

[Interesting logic.] ...Ah.

[Leo chuckles; admittedly a bit amused. The German fighter responds vaguely;] No- I wouldn't exactly put it that way.

Though I wouldn't go so far as to say that I have "undeniable charm", either. I suppose that not all of us can be so lucky, ja?

[fierce_marauder]

[ Hervey's starting to look mighty suspicious now! ]

Whaaat, come on. I mean, you look like you kick some ass, if not serious ass. And it's not like you're an ugly dude, either.

[ Goes silent for a beat. ]

Oh! Lemme' guess, you're one of 'em cool and calculated guys who's all mysterious 'n that, and hard to get to, right? Sorta' like my best bud...

[ He looks a little deflated for just a second at the mention of his bff, but still looks fairly insistent and curious overall. ]

[spelucky]

[Blinking.] Well, thank you, I guess- but I... I'm just not one to date much really, so...
[...How did they even arrive at this subject again? This is already an exhausting conversation.]

[Leo sighs.] It's not like that. I'm just not the type to focus on those kinds of things. Is it really so strange that "snagging" ladies isn't on my list of priorities?

[A pause.] ...Are you alright?

Timezones suck!! Sorry!

[fierce_marauder]

[ Sorry, Hervey has a knack at exhausting people through his sheer idiocy. In fact, he's having a hard time comprehending her stance on this issue! He looks skeptical. ]

Sooo... does that mean you snag dudes instead? I mean, I won't judge, y'know!

[ He shakes his head, and then shrugs a bit. ]

I'm fine! Well... Y'know, you just remind me of someone, that's all. It's a bit annoying, actually.

No prob!

[spelucky]

[This guy sure is persistent. Leo's brows furrow; and as much as the fighter prefers to keep calm, there's a flash of annoyance clearly on The German's features.]

[Flatly] You seem to be pretty fascinated with who I'm "snagging".

[Leo quirks a brow at his last statement.] Is that a bad thing?

[fierce_marauder]

[ He sees the expression and grins, unfazed - he seems used to this kind of response from people. He puts his hands up in a show of surrender. ]

Hey, I'm just fascinated by people's likes and dislikes! So I guess relationships aren't on the like list for you, huh?

Well... I wanted to kill the person at one point, but he is my best friend now. So it depends on how y'look at it.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

'Undeniable charm?'

[fierce_marauder]

Undeniable!

Now, what's a lady with lovely locks like yours doing around here?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Because my mun thought that throwing me at you for some reason would be fun.

Lovely? It's just hair... nothing 'lovely' about it.

[fierce_marauder]

Fun, eh? Heh! Well, your mun ain't wrong about that. 'cos I am a blast! Promise.

Whaat? Girl with two-toned locks like that has gotta' be a little proud of 'em, right? How'd you get it like that, anyway?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

T-They've always been like that, ever since I was a baby.

[Oh and it's a mutation due to being born half-dragon/half-human but uh - she's not sure if she should tell you that just yet.]

But like I said, it's just hair... everyone has it, well except bald people of course. Can't forget those.

[fierce_marauder]

[ Just goes silent at the first part and doesn't answer for a while, a dumbfounded look on his face. ]

Yeaaaaaaah, you should... get that checked out. Probably. I'm... pretty sure that ain't normal.



...

Pretty sure.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

It's not done any harm so far, so I think I'll be okay.

[Tucking some of her bangs behind her ears now.] So did you say you were a pirate or something Mr...?

[fierce_marauder]

[ Still a long pause. Long, long pause. ]

... Hervey. Without the mister. Wait-- how could you try and call a pirate a mister!?

[ ...still eyeing her hair. ]

[ziemia]

You're moving on from your own mun already? What will you do if they start playing hard to get again?

[fierce_marauder]

Please, you think she can resist me or the insane nostalgia that's part of my package?

Besides, she's pretty excited to see you, too. I'd say her having me makes her way too happy. Even if this new happiness is at you. Tch.

[judgment]

*lightly shakes his head at good old Hervey*

How's your ladies count so far?

[fierce_marauder]

Hey! Well, if it isn't our good ol' hero!

Let's just say I can count them on one hand.

[judgment]

*slight, invisible wince* Hello to you too, Hervey.

That's a rather poor number for the pirate I know. Are they not usually swarming you? *teasing*

[fierce_marauder]

I know, I know, tell me about it! I think cool and mysterious is in this year. Stupid Sigurd.

What about you, huh? I bet girls would be going crazy to meet the great liberator! If I were you, I'd totally flash my rune around! Y'know, while you still can.

[judgment]

There's a trend to those things? I thought your charms were more than enough to beat the competition.

*frowns* Why would they go crazy over me? Though, if I could, I would give you my rune since you seem to want it so bad.

I can't reply to your PM because your email isn't verified! ;)

[fierce_marauder]

There sure are. I think. Or maybe I'm just rusty.

I can't say I'd really want it if I had the choice. I'm just saying if it was me stuck with it, I'd take advantage of the shitty situation for all it's worth.

Nonsense. It totally is. (Now, that is.)

[judgment]

This 'snagging' girls up business is more complicated than I thought.

What else would you do if it was stuck to you, then?
