Shadow River

"My name is Shadow River but, just Shadow is okay." The feline extended one hand for the man to shake. But, she started looking in his eyes again feeling completely dazed by them."Wow, their so pretty. Their like jewelry, very expensive jewelry. I never met a man with prettier eyes than yours." The poor girl frowns doing a little sniffle. "My eyes are so common."

Not really. Her eyes are a light grey and have cat pupils. So their only common in the animal world not so much in the human. Even though Shadow doesn't see the difference between the two.

"Aaaw, I feel so boring around you Corvos. Urgh, we're not best friends anymore, my friend." They never were friends but, don't tell her that.

"Its a pleasure to meet you Miss Shadow."

Corvus replied as he removed the glove from this right hand to shake hers in a greeting gesture. The removal of the glove would appear uncommon to some but this was considered the gesture of a gentleman. He was taught to never take the hand of a woman with the gloved hand you spent the day getting dirty, be it by the soil of the earth, or the corruption of thievery. His hands were surprisingly soft and cold, which a soft touch was needed for his line of work. He attempted to offer the woman a sincere smile, something he was not use to but he hated to see and hear her sniffle as she downcast her own eyes.

"Jewels you say? Well, it is not the jewels that make the sword. It is the sharpness of the blade like a kind smile. Nor does the jewels in a crown make a king, a king. It is those that follow him, like loyal friends and family."

Something his father always taught him. He released the woman's hand and then turned to the other female whom was attending the bar.

"Don't you think so Miss Shiress?"

Shadow River

"You know Corvus,I just think you can't take a compliment. You know most people would have said a simple thank you. Or given a compliment. Not give me strange words. I didn't come to this tavern for deep meanings. I came here to get drunk and have fun. Forget my pains! OW!" Shadow dramatically clutches her heart. Leaning back pretending to cry.

"Oh Corvus, do you know what that was? It was one of my pains!" Shadow cried out before going in a fit of laughter. She put her hand on Corvus shoulder. "Do you enjoy my jokes, friend?"

Shiress turned with a grin as the gentleman agreed to a bought drink for the woman. Her ears still clung to the patron's conversation as she filled mugs with amber colored ale deliberately slow giving them time to converse. Being a barmaid made eavesdropping a thing to easily achieve.

Her eye brows lifted at the woman's flirtations as she tried her best to contain chuckles at the play of words the woman was having with the man. The dark skinned woman was definitely self assured as she played again and again against the cloaked man's replies. Shiress was enjoying herself.

She turned to face the patrons again just as she heard her name and giving the woman a nod. "Yes, I am sorry. I'm Shiress and you are...Shadow, right?" Her eyes shifted to the man. "And you are Corvus, correct." Her words gave away her eavesdropping abilities. The barmaid smiled and shook her head in agreement with the man's words as she placed the ale to the front of both patrons.

"Eyes are window's, perhaps. Some are opened." Her eyes slid to Shadow and then back to Corvus as she continued. "And some are closed. Both giving mystery to the one peering through them" A grinned curled her lips as she locked her gaze against the cloaked face, her brows raising above her own emerald eyes. "I prefer more the middle. A shaded window. Not closed nor opened but protected none the less." The barmaid turned and stepped away shaking her head with a smile.

Your stupid is showing, Shiress
