One Thing After Another (Aoren, Evora)

[Aoren]

Aoren smiled at Evora and ceased what he was doing. He rubbed his scalp in puzzled thought for a moment before shrugging.

"I know I don't owe you anything but...well...call it my good nature." He winked at her and laughed softly. "I don't have many conversations with people. Usually I tend to avoid people altogether. I've certainly never heard anyone be thankful for being knocked over." He shook his head.

Aoren came around the counter. At six feet and three inches tall he towered over the shorter woman. As he made his was around the counter he didn't notice the wayward vine laying about across the floor and tripped almost stumbling into Evora again. He caught himself on the counter and blushed furiously in embarrassment. Standing up straight he cleared his throat.

"It would seem poise and grace have abandoned me today." He gave an airy chuckle rubbing the back of his head. The young man looked altogether very boyish. Despite his stature, obvious intelligence, and keen eye for details.

"If you happen to need a hot meal some time I've been told that I'm a decent cook. You're more than welcome to my hearth. I hope you find what you're looking for but I should probably get to work. Mistress Blackleaf is a kind woman but I don't want to test her." He gave her a slight bow.

"I hope we meet again, Evora. It was...nice bumping into you."

[Evora]

Evora's cheeks burnt further still. Thankful for being knocked over? Who had ever hesrd of such a thing? Whoever would do something so foolish? Failing to make the situation less awkward the giant of a man tripped almost falling right into Evora's lap. Thankfully he caught himself on thee shop counter, avoiding the potentially more awkward interaction.

In another attempt to breeze over the awkwardness Ren stood up straight and cleared hois throat. "It seems poise and grace have abandoned me today." He said rubbing the back of his head. 'No kidding' Evora thought sarcastically but kept the thought to herself.

Instead she turned her attention to what he was saying, "it was... Nice bumping into you." She gave him a small smile. "I will not lie to you, what I can get for free I take so expect a dinner guest in the near future. I hope your first day on the job goes a lot better than what it started. Perhaps the next time we meet you might avoid running me over." She stood from the chair and gave him a polite nod.

She left the store feeling rather strange about the meeting with the young man, and was completely distracted from the fact that she was still lost in the castle.

"I look forward to seeing you then. Whenever that may be." He waved to her slightly as she exited the shop. Aoren watched Evora go. There was a bemused and puzzled look on her face and the young man got the feeling she was indeed still lost. He shook his head and silently willed the Goddess who so closely watched over him, to be with her as she meandered through the corridors of Syliras City.


He had a feeling that he would be meeting her again soon enough. Aoren never ignored these feelings. They were usually right on the mark. Carefully he turned and got back to work checking the stock of the herbs, reviewing the orders for the next day so that Mistress Blackleaf could prepare them.

He felt a chill run up and down his spine. An all too familiar feeling that was both a catalyst and a warning. He looked at the back of his right hand. The shimmering lily glistened there as a reminder of both his burden and his blessing. He would need to find a quiet place later on tonight.

For now though he was content in the fact that he had improved someone's day. Albeit their day might also have been ruined by his bravado in trying to get to work on time. All the same, he was happy to have met Evora.
