“Well, I'm glad to hear that.” she couldn't help but laugh. “I wouldn't say I was worried about that but it is reassuring that I still have some secrets.”
“Well, I'm glad to hear that.” she couldn't help but laugh. “I wouldn't say I was worried about that but it is reassuring that I still have some secrets.”
"Of course. We all have secrets. And some are definitely better left unsaid. I know that one from experience, believe me."
“Thank you.” she smiled and leaned against him. “I don't think I could have a better traveling companion.”
"Aw, you're pretty good too Charlotte. I'm sure one day you'll find someone to replace me with."
“I doubt it.” she smiled up at him. “I mean, when I'm finally an expert traveler like you, I might find someone like me to take along but they won't replace you.”
"You're so precious. I'll believe you when you come back after your first solo adventure. I would hang around in a group when I first started but then I went out on my own and never looked back."
“Precious or naive?” she asked softly. “I still have a ways to go before I'm able to go off on my own. I would like to learn more from you first.” she admitted since she'd only been traveling for two days.
"That's very true. But one day I'm sure you'll feel confident enough in your skills to go out on your own. It may take a long while but you'll get there. I'll make sure of it."
“You are so sweet.” she giggled. “Thank you.” she added actually feeling encouraged by his words.
"Only as sweet as you deserve, my friend." Rodney chuckled, nudging Charlotte softly.
Charlotte giggled again, fluttering her wings at the familiar gesture. “Thank you, again.”
"Stop thanking me for things, you'll spoil my already sky high ego." Rodney laughed.
“Your ego doesn't seem that big to me.” she laughed with him. “I don't remember you bragging on much and everything you did tell me was proven.”
"Maybe not but I've been told I'm egotistical more times than I can count. Guess it's the dramatic aura."
Charlotte laughed and shook her head. “Some people can't tell the difference?” she said in disbelief. “It's so obvious to me.”
"Apparently not because I've had multiple drinks thrown in my face on multiple occasions over it." He sighed dramatically. "Such is the woeful story that is my life."
“Oh… You poor man. How could anyone treat you that way.” she said starting in an equally dramatic fashion but she couldn't help giggling towards the end. “I’m sorry. I couldn't resist. At least now you have me to be a bit of a buffer between your theatricality and everyone else.”
"Like a sweetheart translator. I think I can live with that, don't you?" He chuckled, raising a playful eyebrow at Charlotte with a wink.
Charlotte nodded, smirking just as playfully up at him. “I think your chances of survival in towns got better when I'm here.”
"No no no, surviving was never the issue. Clearly, considering I'm still here. The problem is everything else."
“Alright. What about your chances of getting kicked out of a town?” she giggled, still teasing.
"That will definitely be decreased with you here. People are fine with me being kicked out but they don't like having to kick innocent people with it. Especially ladies."
“Well… I'm not sure if I’d say innocent.“ she giggled. “But I’ll certainly do what I can to keep you out of trouble.”
"Glad to hear it, friend." Rodney laughed, leading them into what seemed to be a farmers market of some kind. "Time for shopping."
Charlotte giggled with him before her eyes widened at the sight of the market. She had been to a couple before but that had mostly been for business and this one was much bigger than the ones she'd seen.
"You wanna find some stuff on your own and meet back or go through the whole thing together?" He offered. He knew things were exciting and wanted to give Charlotte as much freedom as he could.
“I wouldn't mind staying together. That way I can keep you out of trouble.” she admitted with another giggle. Though she was perhaps a little nervous about being around so many people at her size. It was an easy fix with the bracelet but…
"Alright then. Together it is then." Rodney hummed as he started down the aisles of stalls, looking through them with an eternally curious look on his face.
“Thanks.” she smiled, leaning against him as they looked around at the different vendors. It was very interesting to see all everything that was on sale.
Rodney picked up a few things he knew they would need but was mostly quiet, just letting Charlotte take in the market and see all there was to offer.
