Once again late in the season, we find Fair-water staying at the Dragons Hearth and Home. She has joined with a band of adventurers who sought her skill as a sorceress and luck (they seen the game of Hearts Desire and resultant floor show). By itself she loved having new friends, including men not trying to get her into bed, or more likely, just between her legs. (this caused a major blush, to the delight of her friends, as she was still a virgin to men)

She was looking forward to having dinner with one of the party, an young man near her age by the name of David. The thought of being near him brought a smile and blush to her cheeks. A simple dinner, maybe a bit more flirting, and as usual nothing ever seems to go right for my simple plans….

Tonight was no exception…

David was waiting downstairs for her to arrive, watching the main room gradually fill with all manner of people, human, elven, dwarf, etc (editor – imagine Lord of the Rings movies for ideas). Having ordered a bottle of rice wine, cheese and crackers to snack on, he drifted away into dreams of new adventures to come. Smiling as he imagined himself as a shining knight saving the fair princess from a dragon, it took some time to realize that someone was calling to him.

“Good sir, may I sit down here with you?”

“What?” he declared, finally gathering his wits about himself. Just over 18 in age, his wide smile showed how delighted he was at the sight before him. Typical of a young man of this age, his brain shut down and his hormones went into default settings of “Rut like a stag in heat”

She stood like a vision of beauty, slim in build, with nary a fault on her maple brown skin, honey blond hair, soft contours of her dress (what there is of it) shrouded her small breasts in a way that was playful and seductive all at once. But it was her eyes that drew him in…suggestive of equal parts mischief and unbridled passion in one.

Wham!

“Lad are you going to invite her to sit down or not?” Jonathan had rapped the back of his head to draw him again back to reality. Sheepishly he invited her to sit down and introduced himself, she replied “My name is Honey Rose, just Rose for you, if you wish. I know humans like to use short names for most things.” It was then I saw the small points of her ears sticking out from under her hair. “Your an elf….”

Her smile and expression showed him that she already was well aware of that fact. Over the next hour, they shared a mixed plate of cheese, cream, bread, fruits, and a bottle of fine elven wine. David was feeling quite giddy and warm right about now, he loved having Rose around, and delighted her with the tales of adventures the party has had, including his role in them.

Jonathan shared a chuckle with the other party members, including one called Rakkia who was…lets leave it at that for now, whom was a very dear friend of his. They were laying wagers as to what would happen with David and Rose, most on how long it will take her to get bored and dump him. He looked at the staircase in time to see the form of fair-water stop at the base of the stairs…and from the look on her face, it was about to get very interesting…time for another bet.

David was fully into his story telling with Rose, getting delighted with her flirting and some veiled references he thought she was making (so he hoped). “So now Rose, what manner of things do you like to do in life, I mean what is it that you really seek out and enjoy?”

She leaned over the table, one hand on her chin the other reaching out for his face. He leaned closer, getting a tittilating view of part of her breasts, causing his heart to go faster, and another part of him to start rising.
