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.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

'Undeniable charm?'

[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?

[fierce_marauder]

Undeniable!

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

[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]

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

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

[ziemia]

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

[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?

[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.

[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. ]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I was just trying to be polite! Just incase I misunderstood what you said.

But if you really are a pirate how do I know you're not going to try and kidnap me and hold me for ransom or something, Isn't that what pirates normally do? Kidnap young rich women, take them hostage and then expect some sort of fee to return them back to their families?

[Saft what the hell kinda books have you been reading?]

[fierce_marauder]

[ Nope, he won't shatter that illusion. Because she's sort of right, anyway! But he's kind of off-guard at the sudden outburst, raising an eyebrow. ]

Well... yeah, you know what? You really don't know.

[ He grins and rests his hand on his sword's hilt jokingly. ]

... and isn't that the fun of it?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Not if I have no intentions of being caught today.

[fierce_marauder]

Whaat, why wouldn't you wanna' be caught? C'mon, where's your sense of spirit? Adventure?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Ping!

Did Hervey just say her favorite words?]

There's nothing adventurous in playing the 'damsel in distress' you know.

[fierce_marauder]

Sure there is! You get kidnapped into the unknown by a dashing stranger, see a world unimaginable beyond your wildest dreams...

... Chicks dig that, right?

[whitescalesbigmouth]

All except the dashing stranger part.

[You're gonna have a hallenge here, Hervey.]
