“Well… How about if you call me “Charlie” since no one else knows I don't like that nickname very much?” she suggested, unsure of what she could say for her code to him.
“Well… How about if you call me “Charlie” since no one else knows I don't like that nickname very much?” she suggested, unsure of what she could say for her code to him.
"That works. And for me, you can use Roddy. The only other person who ever called me that was my family so it's not like we'll come across anyone who uses it anytime soon."
“Ok. That works for me too.” she nodded, smiling at his suggestion. It sounded like a good plan and simple enough to use.
"See? We can make this work. We'll be great together, I know it." Rodney hummed, optimistic.
Charlotte smiled brightly back. “I never said we couldn't and we definitely will be great together.” she agreed happily.
(Right, do we have another plot point we can move these two towards? Other than them just wandering in the woods?)
(umm… You're right. We should have another plot point… Unfortunately, I am drawing a blank atm. Do you have any suggestions?)
(Well, we can bring them into a new town just to see how it goes?)
(ok. Quick question… How long should we say they've been traveling before they get to town?)
(Maybe a few days? Like two or three days?)
(sounds good. Do you want the honors of doing the skip?)
(No no, you have it)
(alright)
Charlotte was fiddling with her bracelet, debating whether or not to put it on as they approached the larger town. It was the first new town that she’d been to and she was both excited and nervous. “What do you think? Should I use this or save it for later?” she asked Rodney.
"Save it Charlotte, you'll be okay. Fairies are pretty common in this town, so I've heard. You'll be just fine the way you are, I promise."
“Alright.” she nodded, slipping the charmed jewelry back into her bag. “That's always a relief. I heard that there are some places that don't welcome fairies… and some places where fairies are treated more like pets.” she told him with a nervous flutter.
"Oh I know, I've been to places like that. It's disgusting how they treat fairies. They're people do, they deserve to be treated like living beings."
Charlotte shivered at the thought. “Yeah. We are. Just because we're one of the smaller species…” she sighed. “I actually remember being called a bug when I was a kid.”
"Aw, that's really sad. Don't worry, you'll never get that treatment from me or anyone else if I have any say in it. I'll keep you safe, I promise." Rodney offered with a smile.
“Thank you, Rodney.” she smiled gratefully. “It may have been a long time ago, and it doesn't really bother me anymore, but I appreciate you saying that. And I know that you mean it too.”
"I do try my best." He hummed as he spotted what he assumed was the local tavern. "Care to visit a home for adventurers that isn't your own?"
Charlotte giggled as she saw the same sign he did and nodded. “Of course. I'm interested to see how different it is. Not to mention, sleeping in a bed again.” she laughed.
"Ah come on, it wasn't that bad." Rodney laughed as he pushed open the door for them. The room was warm and bright, people talking and laughing and having drinks. Rodney took a deep breath. "Home sweet home."
“No… It wasn't bad. Actually, I did enjoy it but it will still take some time for me to get used to sleeping outdoors.” she admitted as she followed him inside. She sighed softly, taking in the familiar scents and sounds of the inn.
"You want a drink? I can get you one. I kinda want a glass of something myself so I'll probably get one."
“Oh, yes please.” she nodded. “Shall I find us a table?”
"Go ahead. Just be careful, don't want you getting trampled or sat on while I'm waiting for our drinks."
“I'll be staying on top of the table.” she promised. “And if anyone tries anything, I can make things uncomfortable for them.” she smirked before flying off.
Rodney rolled his eyes with a smile, shaking his head before heading over to the bar to order a couple of drinks for the two of them.
Charlotte flew around for a moment before finding a suitable table and claiming it for her and Rodney. She had to admit that she was a little surprised by the number of fairies she saw here. It was a nice change from the few she saw back home. Of course, there was a decent-sized community but it certainly seemed to be more here.
Rodney came back a few minutes later with a couple of glasses, one just the size for her. "There you are. Hope you enjoy it."
