Amariette: ~The Golden Apple Inn, a place recommended by Daniel not a day before. Amariette had found her way there after gathering the rest of her items on the list, save for straw and wheat. According to the doctor, those things could be fetched upon leaving the capital, at the farmer's market just outside of the gates. Having found the inn to be surprisingly quaint and quiet, she happily paid the appropriate amount to stay for the two nights expected of her. It was a bit awkward for her even now, being without the company of her father, and she spent the early part of the evening staring out of her small window to the cobbles below. When sleep finally claimed her, her dreams were surprisingly peaceful and she did not toss and turn as she oftened did in her own bed.~<c>
Amariette: ~Awaking to fresh sunshine and the singing of birds, she was pleased to find a bath waiting for her. Quickly indulging in it, she put on a fresh dress of dark green, the same color of her eyes in fact. Taking a brush from the small pack she carried, she drew the bristles through her long strands of crimson hair until they were thoroughly straightened. The tips curled upward and she hurriedly replaced all her things in her pack, flying out of the door and down the stairs to greet the tender and his young son. Moving across the floor, she let her eyes survey the place once again, rather comforted by the home-like quality it offered. There was a large hearth at the opposite end of the room, surrounded by chairs and all manner of tables, but it laid dormant for now.~ <c>
Amariette: ~In fact, had she been more accustomed to living in the capital, she would have thought it no different than any of the other inns scattered about. Still, being the small village girl she was, Amariette could not help but stare in awe of the polished wood floors and bright furnishings that only accented the place. "Good morning Miss, did you rest well?" The voice was that of the young lad, probably a year younger than she, and he was walking towards her with a rag and candlebra in hand. "Oh yes, thank you very much! You keep a rather wonderful inn, do you have many patrons?" She answered easily, her lips curling in a sweet smile and her fingers clutching at the pack over her shoulder.~
Farris Wolf: Farris Wolf walks towards the inn. He had seen to it that he had found out where the girl was staying that the girl he had seen yesterday and kissed. He was now even berating himself for doing that. He had kissed the girl upon just learning her name. He was moving too quick. His dark hazel eyes found the door to the inn easily and he opened it up stepping inside. The inn master looked up and then back down to what he was doing. Farris moved forward. His clothing making him look like a low noble but still noble so most peasents and such just turned back to minding their business but kept their eyes glued away from him. Some children stared though. Farris grinning at them and they smiled back and returned to what they were doing. He went up to the inn master and put his hands on(C)
Farris Wolf: the counter. "May I inquire where a Miss Amariette is?" He said smiling and with a gold coin in his hand.(E)
Amariette: ~"We have a great deal actually, but you are in the wrong part of the building ma'am, this is the back of the inn, designated for the knights and soldiers when they return from battle or war. See the large amounts of chairs and tables, we actually have to make more each time they file in here, our most busy days are during the winter season." He answered lightly, polishing the candle holder in his hand and smiling to her as respectfully as he could. She was pretty, the prettiest maid he had seen so far, but he would never tell her that, she would no doubt laugh at him. "Oh I'm sorry, it's so easy for me to become lost almost where ever I go. Which way to the front? I really must speak with your father." Her cheeks colored faintly with her embarassment and she lowered her head meekly.~<c>
Amariette: ~"Just down this hallway miss, past the kitchen, you'll emerge right near the front counter where my father usually can be found. You have a nice day." Bowing to her, he strolled past, whistling a merry tune and disappeared around a corner, leaving her alone once again. Following his directions, her steps were light and quick, carrying her down the rather lengthy hallway and out into the front where the other patrons were just sitting down for breakfast. Smiling to some and bowing her head to others, she walked toward the front counter and came to a stop, surprise washing over her face. Eyes wide, the green depths centered on the familiar man, and her voice rang out soft but gentle and she curtsied low to him, "Why Sir Wolf! Are you staying here as well?"
Farris Wolf: He turns around to her and grins at her. His eyes staring into hers. He bows coming back up. "Please don't say Sir Wolf...I am not a knight anymore or even in the Military." He put the gold coin back in his pocket. "I don't stay here but I am across the road. I was actually wondering if you would like to come and walk with me today." He tilted his head listening to her response. His eyes still locked with hers.
Amariette: ~"Oh, I would like that very much. Actually, I was going to ask this inn master if he knew where I might be able to find you. You never allowed me to thank you for the map you provided me with yesterday, it was more than helpful. Had you not given it to me, I believe I would have found myself in some nasty lower tavern filled with barbarians and thieves." ~She rose again and smiled sweetly to him, her steps drawing her to him where she hooked her arm into his and raised her gaze to meet his own. The inn master stared in obvious awe of the comfortable way she met him and as his son re-emerged to gawk at the two, he quickly called him over and snapped at him. Letting her eyes center on the boy, she lifted a hand and waved her fingers at him, a smile instantly blooming on the boys' lips.~<c>
Amariette: ~"Where were you planning on going may I ask? I would love to see more of the capital, but I fear I may not be able to find my way back without you. Forgive my dependence Mr. Wolf, but I'm but a common village girl with no knowledge of city life like you."
Farris Wolf: He smiled down at her and opened the door. "Well I wouldn't say you were a common village girl. Your actually a very very rare rose in a small patch of well trees." He steps outside bring her with him. "And I was thinking of bringing you to inner city...your in the middle city but I have a small place up in the higher city. I was going to show it off to you." He said smiling as he pointed in a south direction. "We go straight that away towards the keep and we get to my house somewhere along the way." His hand fell into hers holding on to it.
Amariette: ~"You honor me sir, and I would love to see more of the city and I could not think of a better guide than you." Giving his hand a a modest squeeze, she allowed him to lead her along the cobblestones at an casual pace. She didn't notice the collection of stares they were attracting from the locals, but was only content to be in his presence for as long as he wished her to be. Her father had warned her about idling about, but she felt that not only was this a beneficial experience in learning about the outside world, but a rather nice way to begin the day. Of course, she had to meet with Daniel at some point today, but that could be saved for later, besides, she could picture him buried in scrolls for hours before he even realized he was supposed to see her.~<c>
Amariette: ~"Many of the markets here remind me of my village, Chartha is said to have the most exotic silks in all the land. My father promised me a new dress when I returned from Emain Macha, and hopefully, he hasn't forgotten. Usually he is rather preoccupied making weapons, but I am supposed to ask him to make some tools for Daniel. I don't know what they are for, but it's not really my place to inquire of the good Doctor."
Farris Wolf: He is walking along arm wrapped around hers holding her hand. "Well since he is a digger propably wants excavation tools." He said answering the question. "And Chartha having the most exotic silks...I could agree with you...I have a few clothes from there up in my room at the inn." He didn't have anything to do and aslong as she was happy walking with him he was fine and didn't have a care in the world.
Amariette: ~"Actually Mr. Wolf, I was wondering if you could give me a tour of the castle, it has been a small dream of mind to see it. I read so many books about the Queens and Kings of old, and well, yesterday I was in the presence of the Queen and didn't even know it. It was a bit embarassing, considering I had a few smudges on my cheeks, but I bathed today and brushed my hair in case I meet her again. Please, I would be so happy if you could make my dream come true, I've never even been near the castle grounds. The elders in my village say that dragons still live and thrive in her gardens." Her pleasant eyes rose to him again as they continued to walk, her long crimson locks billowing out behind her in the gentle breeze.~
