Miles glared back at her and smirked, shaking his head. She's quirky in the weirdest ways. He shoved himself up from his bed, getting up on the tips of his toes to stretch his legs. He let out a long sigh, scratching his rib. "Are you awake now?"
Emmeline nodded "Yeah…you do know that you don't have a shirt on, right?" She pointed at his chest and looked around the room, trying to focus on anything but him.
"You know you didn't have to point out the obvious," He laughed, his voice deep. I should get dressed… Miles headed over to his wardrobe, opening it up. He pulled one out and put it over his head, tugging the hem down.
"I wasn't sure if you knew," She replied with a small smile. She stood up and stretched before sitting back on her bed, her legs crossed.
"….You think I couldn't tell?" Miles turned back around, glaring at her. "That'd be like standing on a mountain top, naked. Of course you'd notice you didn't have clothes on!" Why….. Why do they have to be the weirdest remarks… He slapped a hand over his reddening, warming face.
Her eyes widened slightly "Sorry," She said, her voice slightly sarcastic. She didn't point out his blushing this time, knowing that it would probably just make him madder.
"That's what I was waiting to hear…" He muttered to himself, wandering over to her bed. He set his eyes on the two piles, having a seat. "So you said you sorted these out, right?" Miles hovered his hands over the two piles.
She nodded, "You can have this one, plus your pile," She said, pushing the pile with the more expensive jewelry and most of the coins in it towards him. "I'll take this one," Emmeline pulled the one with most of the odds and ends and other inexpensive, random junk in it towards herself.
Miles glared at his pile, then hers for a second. "Now hang on…" He said, folding his arms. "What makes you think I deserve all the expensive stuff?"
"Well, you were the one who took me long, right? and you let me stay here for two nights now," She started off, crossing her arms as well, "Plus you either bought or made food for me, and you gave me these," She pointed to the clothes she was wearing and continued, "And you cut my hair, and put up with me and all the stupid stuff I do." She did her best disappointed mother look and put a small, somewhat fake smile on her face, "I think that means you get the expensive stuff, so don't argue with me, I'll just find a way to make you take it."
He chuckled, shaking his head. "Whatever you say." Miles folded his arms, wiping his cheek on his shoulder. "I'll get all this good stuff." He shrugged. But you're the one who needs it more.
Emmeline nodded, looking at her pile "Don't worry, there are a few coins in here. Not the most expensive one, but there are a few, along with an old ring or two," She took out a small coin and a very dusty ring to show him before dropping them back in with the other stuff.
"True." He grabbed his stuff and piled it on his bed, sorting it into gold, rings and lockets to put them away. "Now that I think about it…. I should go into town to get some more food. I would hunt, but last night wiped me out…." And no, that doesn't mean I'm physically weak….
"Do you want me to come with?" She asked, glancing over at him, "Otherwise I can do chores or something here." She stood up and tucked her pile of stuff next to her bed, making sure nothing would get lost.
"Well, there's nothing really to do here…" Miles smirked. "Unless you want to build a shed for me." I could really use one… My porch isn't roomy enough anymore…
"Town it is," Emmeline replied, a small smile on her face, "I don't think I would even know how to start to build a shed."
"Maybe you can get some nails or something for me up town. Then I can build it maybe later tonight when it's cooler out." He threw his cloak on his shoulders and put his coin sack on his hip. "Oh… Where did you put my dagger? I would like to have that back." And don't play any games with me…
She grabbed his dagger from where she had put it last night, "Here it is," She held it out to him and grabbed the few coins from her pile of stuff before standing up and looking around the cabin for anything else that she might need.
Miles grabbed the dagger from her hand, an odd tingling feeling causing him to flinch. He growled a little and turned back away to head out. Dammit…. He wiped at his face. Everything has to be awkward now that she's practically living off me…
Emmeline walked outside and waited for Miles. She flipped a coin in her hand and thought about what she could buy; A dagger or weapon, some food, maybe something that Miles could use, and the nails for his shed.
(Whoa did she like teleport or something?)
Miles got out and locked the door with the key that hung around his neck. "Alright… Off to town we go…" He went and found the trail, and followed it. He kept mainly to himself, keeping the air awkwardly silent.
(What'd ya mean?)
She followed behind him and looked around, humming softly to herself as they walked.
(Well she said she'd look around the house and Miles was going outside, and then she was just… There. Outside.)
A cold wind blew through the trees, and Miles shivered, pulling his cloak around him. It's getting colder already…
They were walking along when he spotted two people walking towards them. They were dressed in some kind of lightweight armor, yet he didn't want to take chances. "Stay close; don't say anything…."
( 'Emmeline walked outside and waited for Miles.')
"I know," She glanced at the people before walking closer to Miles, visibly nervous. "What if they're looking for us since we robbed that house last night… they wouldn't recognise you since you were a wolf but I'm still me.." She whispered, not knowing if he could her her or not.
"What did I just say??" He hissed lowly.
They walked by, but the two of them quickly pivoted and tackled Miles and Emmiline off into the bushes on the side of the pathway.
"What the–!?" Miles yelped.
Emmeline squeaked and the air was knocked out of her as she got tackled. She gasped for a breath before smacking the person, trying to get them to go away.
Miles withdrew his dagger as the guy tried to take it. "Fool!!!" Miles barked, kicking the guy off him.
The bandit staggered, and he was pushed over.
Miles hopped to his feet, but stumbled a bit before stabbing the guy that was on Emmiline right in the back. He barked, falling over in pain. "Use your dagger!" Miles yelled at her, helping her to her feet. She needs to know how, or she can get herself killed!!!
"I don't have one! I used yours!" She stood up and stepped away from the bandits. "I was going to buy one when we got into town," She continued, her heart racing as she kicked the guy that Miles stabbed.
"I thought you grabbed a dagger from the house last night!" He barked.
The other bandit had gotten up, rushing him with a full fledged sword.
Oh lord… He backed away.
"Give me all you've got!" He yelled, pointing the tip at his neck. "You too, girl!"
She glanced at Miles before glaring at the bandit "You gave me your dagger to use because I didn't have one," Emmeline took a step forward and made her hands into fists, ready to fight.
