Completed [Sukina Geysers]Stalker...or escort?

[Raven Nightfoot]

Raven averted her gaze as the handsome squire stepped out of the water and his manhood came back into view, she had already gotten her look earlier and didn't need him thinking she was overly interested. As he got dressed she shot him a few more glances to catch the last glimpses of his wet glistening muscled body before it was completely concealed by his armour. Finally he fastened his broadsword to his hip and Raven's eyebrow raised curiously, she wondered how good he was with his weapon, he was only a squire so he probably wasn't too proficient, then again he had an air of arrogance, perhaps it was well earned. "Well, should we go?" The impatience in his voice pulled her from her thoughts as she looked up at him and was hit once again by how massive he was. "Yeah." she said as she turned around and began walking to the point where she had first heard the river. "Oh, and petch your rule of me keeping a distance - although a lovely view, I tire of walking behind you. But of course, this is your grand adventure, so lead the way, miss." Raven rolled her eyes in response, not appreciating the sarcasm as they stepped through the undergrowth of the forest and got back on route to the Sukina Geysers. "Are you always this charming, or do you just save it for special occasions like this?" she asked teasingly as she shot him a smirk, "And do you have a name, or should I just address you as 'handsome obnoxious squire'?" she added.

Back on the road. Or rather lack thereof. The undergrowth did little to hinder their progress to the geysers. Markus had picked up on the way she had tried to conceal her occasional glances toward him when he was getting dressed again. It planted a confident if annoyed smile on those lips. Her lack of argument to him sticking with her did leave him a little surprised, expecting her to argue the point needlessly. Raven's words did spark some thoughts in his mind and did have his right brow raised questioningly. The teasing tone smacking him in the face moments later and when she continued and asked for his name Markus shook his head lightly and sighed. Wondering if she was being coy or was just trying to get under his skin. Probably a mix of them both. Though his ego did enjoy the word handsome. "The wonderful wilderness and promise of a adventure brings out my charming side." He said, taking a larger step to avoid stepping on a gathering of mushrooms and continued walking with the unreasonably attractive lady. Half the time fighting to keep his eyes up north when they walked. Often his hormones took control and there were glances down south. Quick to divert the gaze elsewhere when her head turned in his direction. There could be little doubt that Markus' hormones had him lusting for this woman's body. Though he could not let her know that or this trip would turn into a hell of her probably teasing him or things just getting awkward. "And if you must know, the name is Andres, Markus Andres. Squire to Stern Mason." Markus was a little annoyed that he had automatically added the last four words. Any time he introduced himself those four words always managed to sneak in whether he wanted it to or not. "And you are Raven - that, or I have been wasting a couple of bells following the wrong woman." He threw a casual glance in the direction of the lake before turning to Raven again and gave her a shrug. "Perhaps wasting is not the right word. But I'm taking my chances that you're the real deal." Markus concluded.

"The wonderful wilderness and promise of a adventure brings out my charming side." Raven let out a small giggle at his words, his sarcasm or rather his lack of sincerity would be much more interesting than if he'd been one of the usual stuck up or painfully polite squires, those had always bored Raven completely. "Well don't worry, if it's adventure you want, I won't disappoint." she finished with yet another wink. The forest seemed as if it was beginning to thin out, the thick undergrowth which had been an obstacle now giving way to green grass, the darkness of the canopy now gradually becoming brighter as Syna's light broke through. "And if you must know, the name is Andres, Markus Andres. Squire to Stern Mason...And you are Raven - that, or I have been wasting a couple of bells following the wrong woman...Perhaps wasting is not the right word. But I'm taking my chances that you're the real deal." Another soft chuckle, "Well, Markus... she said, emphasising his name with her sultry tone, "...flattery will get you everywhere. she finished with a teasing shrug before picking up speed and vaulting over a large fallen tree, her hands touching down for only a moment as she swung her legs over, landing silently back on the soft ground and returning to her usual pace, her hips swaying as she walked. "We should be getting close by now, what do you think...Markus?"

[Markus Andres]

Markus hesitated in a step when she responded. Looking at her speechless. Losing his composure seeing that wink form her and he hid the developing warmth in his cheeks by looking back over his shoulder casually. He had a feeling that things were certainly going to get interesting once they did reach the geysers. The way she spoke with that sultry tone drove his hormones wild and luckily for him, she decided that was the time to speed up and give him to regain his composure for a second time within a short time. Looking at her vault over the fallen tree Markus was impressed. Athletic as well as stunning. There was a predatory smile on his lips as he looked over the fallen tree at Raven's swaying hips as she continued away. "Wysar help me..." Markus whispered under his breath as she continued away. Shaking his head a little with a helpless smile on his lips. The gods were both cruel... As they were kind. He placed his arms against the trunk and rather than elegant athletics or trained moves, Markus used the sheer strength contained in those arms of his. Both feet landing in the summer brush with a loud shuffle of leaves under him and branches snapping. The seductive woman was speaking again, asking him for confirmation. Markus looked at her with a raised brow before he simply shrugged. "Does this mean our adventure is already over?" Markus responded as he set a higher pace to get up beside Raven. Although enjoying trailing her with those hips swaying, it was quite distracting. "And I have no clue, never been to the geysers before. But assuming you led us in the correct direction..." Markus shrugged again as thought for a moment. "Should be close." Darker shade of green looking into those amazing amber eyes. Suppressing his hormones from just having him speak nonsense, Markus continued in an almost disinterested tone of voice. "So, what are the plans when we get there?" His main concern was Syna and her position in the sky. Should she move over too far, even though she hung up there longer during summer, he still doubted they could make it to Syliras before night fell if they didn't make it to the geysers soon.

"Does this mean our adventure is already over?" Raven's trademark smirk widened slightly before returning to it's regular intensity, "Don't you worry, we're FAR from done." she teased as they walked on. If their line of travel had remained relatively straight then they should arrive at the geysers before the sun begins to set, which looked to be only a bell or two away. The forest was continuing to thin which could only be a good sign, although she was in no rush to get to her destination, not with the handsome young man beside her. "So, why a squire for the knights? Surely it would be much more profitable for you to become a prostitute." she said shooting him a naughty glance. Her first question had been sincere, she was always curious as to why anyone would want to join such a stiff organisation, the prostitute part was just for fun and as well as to subtly compliment his appearance. Only a few chimes later the forest came to an abrupt end leaving only a few dozen feet of dirt between them and the edge of a cliff. As they stepped out of the forest and onto the clearing at the edge Raven noticed what looked like three unusual mountains all close together, but it was only when they erupted spraying water high into the sky that Raven realised that they'd reached their destination. "We're here." she said cheerfully, her eyes focused on the Sukina Geysers in the distance, they were interesting but nothing really spectacular in Raven's opinion, "...And they're more boring than I thought they'd be. Oh well, the journey was fun." she said spinning around nonchalantly. She noticed that the sun had already began to set in the distance throwing a deep orange across they sky, "It looks like we'll be spending the night together." she said mischievously while smirking up at Markus.

[Markus Andres]

Markus drew his waterskin from his side and gulped down some water. Offered nothing more than a shrug to Raven when she said their adventures were far from over. He supposed that was true, there was another thrilling journey back to Syliras ahead of them. What she said next had Markus almost choke himself on the water and the water in his mouth was quickly transferred back to the waterskin. He looked incredulously at the female companion, wondering if she had realized what she had just asked him. Markus feet had stopped as he took a moment to just stare at her. His mind was reeling from that peculiar question. If her agenda had been to stump Markus' thoughts she had more than succeeded. He couldn't even tell if she were serious or not. "If I was interested in material wealth, then yea, sure. I could earn a small fortune." Markus finally answered with a small shrug. Never had the idea crossed his mind to sell his body sexually. Markus shook his head a little. He didn't see himself engaging in such activities either. Not in the foreseeable future, at least. As the contemplated just what would bring him into that line of work, he looked to Raven and realized two things. First that if he only had customers with looks like hers then it was a win, win and win situation. Secondly, she had actually asked him a question. "And I am a squire because I believe in the Syliran code of honour and the goodly gods. And for grand adventures like these." Markus said with a smug smile on his lips as he continued. Still somewhat surprised by her question. They appeared from the forest and Markus looked at the hills or mountains. That suddenly spat out water. He felt that Cayha had done a wonderful job creating those. Probably with help from Ivak. But other than that he felt nothing special about it and looking to Raven he noticed that he was not alone. Especially when she confirmed this a little later. Markus just looked at her bemused when she voiced her boredom. He tilted his head a little. The journey had been interesting after he had been caught and very interesting the chimes just before he had been caught, but the majority of the time before that had been a dull waste of time. He just rolled his eyes in response to her declaration of the trip. Her next comment spurred him to look at Syna's position and nodded in agreement and he did find the prospect of spending the night with Raven rather pleasant. "Oh? What makes you think there is room in my tent for us both?" Markus said with a raised brow as he looked down into those amber eyes of the unreasonably attractive woman. "So, we done looking at these geysers and can look for a place to set up camp?"
