The Taking of Khaera (private)

[Daes]

She studied him, watching, listening and smiled in response. She liked him thus far, well defined muscles- hard working, rational and yet not arrogant in manner… A moment now a little more intimate than a simple drink and go at an inn. She’d been invited as a guest, even if the situation that had put her there was a little sudden and unorthodox, it’d been a short while she’d known him, but she was growing attracted to him… a ruggedly handsome yet smart fellow, with perceptive eyes and a mind that thinks a bit deeper than what is on the surface. Not eager boys like the men her age, but someone she could actually have a conversation with. It was refreshing.

“Indeed.” She said softly. Her eyes remained on him, the rapping on the door silenced by a kind of contentment as she looked on her host, her gaze moving to the food only once it was set upon the table. She turned to the girl and nodded her thank you, her eyes returning to the man before her.

“Yes we shall.” She stated with a light chuckle. Khaera’s hand reached out slowly, taking a plate and carefully serving herself. She grinned, placing the cheese and meat on her bread and biting into it. The meal was light and delicious, she to take her time in consuming her food and occasionally sipping her wine. Her eyes flickered calmly under the light, enjoying herself in the warm welcoming ambiance of the study and the presence of her host that she now watched with silent curiosity and growing attraction.
