Bearing fruit

"Come on runt, you can do better than that!" Quinara pants as the late summer sun beats down on us, I grunt and swing my sword anew swiping at her as she dodges my blade. On my final swing I nick her slightly on the arm with the very tip of my blade as she isn't able to dodge in time, "ahh shit I'm sorry" I say sheathing my sword and running over to her. Quinara however doesn't look mad in fact she looked proud?? "You're getting good runt, that's the first time you've been able to hit me, and I'm barely having to slow down my swings" she says dabbing at her small cut with a cloth. "Seems all you needed to be good was to get a scar" she jokes, "actually I think it was the training" I reply, she puffs out her chest "I mean I wasn't going to say it but you're right... Those blowjobs really motivate you" she jokes. I laugh along "fuck you, I'm trying to be nice... However I'm not going to say you're completely wrong"

We had made good progress in the last few months, we stayed in Gryant till I was fully healed. My leg was now as good as it ever was, hell if it wasn't for the pink scar on my pale skin you wouldn't even known I was injured. Since then we had began our journey again further south, walking in the summer heat certainly wasn't pleasant but I'd take it over the harsh winter any day. I grab my waterskin and take a much needed drink, "I guess we're done for the day?" I ask her as she finishes dabbing her cut, "yeah runt. You know I'm not blowing smoke up your ass, you're actually good at fighting now. It takes a skilled fighter to make me bleed" she praises me, I beam at her praise "I had the best teacher, before you I couldn't even hold a sword." Quinara laughs, "yeah I know, hard to believe you turned out to be such a fighter" she remarks, she was right I had made progress. "Do you reckon I could win against him?" I ask Quinara raises her eyebrow "Barcus I mean, he was the best of Lord Baxter's honour guard" I explain. Quinara shrugs "I can't say I've never seen him fight... but he was slow, I got my hands on him pretty easily so I'd say you have a good shot" she answers honestly.

With my training out the way we continue down the dirt path, the sun beating down on both of us. "Phew it's too hot out here" I moan as we walk, Quinara echoes my sentiment "yeah we should probably walk through the trees." Her plan makes sense as getting out of the hot sun and into the shade would be a blessing, I nod and we begin heading into the tree line and enjoying the shade. As we walk I notice something deeper into the woods, a tree bearing what looked like lemons, I pat her back "hey is that a lemon tree?" I ask Quinara, she turns and with her far superior eyesight she confirms my sighting "yeah that's a lemon tree alright. You wanna head over?" I nod "of course." after her hyping up how sweet and delicious they were I couldn't wait to try one. "Are they really as sweet as you said?" I ask Quinara as we walk her face has a big smirk on it, likely just happy at how eager I was to try the fruit "yep they sure are runt, you're gonna love them" she replies cheerfully.

Once we get there Quinara plucks a juicy looking lemon from a branch for me as I wasn't tall enough to reach, "thank you" I take the lemon and begin peeling the yellow citrus, Quinara sits on a nearby rock studying me intensely. Once I had peeled back enough of the skin I dive in and take a bite of the flesh of the fruit expecting a sweet tasting treat. "PFFBBBB!!" I sputter as I spit out the lemon from my mouth, the unbearable sourness making my face cringe. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Quinara roars, doubling over with laughter at my reaction, it dawns on me that I had been set up, "YOU KNEW!" I yell wiping my tongue as my eyes watered, "fuck you" I groan regaining my composure. "You should have seen your face" Quinara says tears running down her face too but not from intense sourness, I shake my head "gods I need to get this flavour out my mouth" I complain the bitterness persisting on my tongue. Quinara cocks her head "well I have something you can eat to get the taste out of your mouth" she purrs at me, I couldn't believe it first she pranks me then she expects me to eat her out? The audacity, "yeah why would I do that?" I say dismissing her suggestion, "because I'm telling you to runt. You know that a good boy would already be on his knees for me waiting for his treat. You do want to be a good boy don't you Runt?"
