Chapter 10 by PineroseWriting PineroseWriting

Who is calling?

Yue is!

"Naaaaz! I've been looking for you." The voice was soothing. The comforting tone came from a redheaded human woman of average height, she wore robes of some faith Soren did not recognize. They were cinched tightly around her figure, subverting the expected modesty these clothes would normally provide. Her full and voluminous hair bounced on her shoulders with each step.

Yue ran up to Naz, embracing her in a tight hug, the half-orc returned the hug awkwardly, her arms caught underneath Yue's enthusiasm. "Oh the journey has been so long, I'm exhausted." Yue leans back, feigning as if she might collapse, "hmmm… but you, you look positively glowing." She raised an eyebrow, "what, did you meet some rugged handsome man while I was away? You are going to have to share all the details later!"

"No, no rugged man, but I did happen to find us a new member. A thief, quite skilled with their hands" Nas motioned to Soren who had been standing beside them nervously, waiting for his turn to speak.

Yue looked down at Sloren, something she was not used to doing when it came to elven men. She looked back to Naz, then down to Soren, then repeated the process a few more times before Naz gripped her head and held her face towards her own.

"He is so cute!" She squealed through pinched cheeks. "Where did you find him? Oh my lord, he is so small. Is this why you were glowing?" She bends over. Getting close to Soren's face as she stares intently at him. "What did you do to her? How did you do it to her?" She moved her head to whisper in Naz's ear "Are his looks really that deceiving huh?" She wiggled her eyebrows, giving Naz a slight elbow.

"Yue, enough, you are going to scare the poor boy." Naz gently pushed Yue off of her, a movement that appeared to cause Yue to pout slightly at the separation.

"Fine, fine, we have work to do anyway, I found us a contract" Yue beams. "Shouldn't be that hard, classic goods recovery, some merchant got robbed by goblins outside of town, wants us to go grab it before the local guards get around to it and all his goods get lost in 'evidence', and" she says, eyeing Soren, "should be the perfect testing ground for our latest member"

"I won't let you down ma'am" Soren replies, his eyes filled with determination. Eager to impress Naz's companion, and **** to prove his worth.

The trio made their way through the town, purchasing general supplies such as rations and torches. Most of their items were loaded into a heavy sack which Naz was kind enough to carry. "Good workout" she claimed, neither Yue nor Soren were fit for the job. Once the basic necessities had been taken care of, they headed out towards their destination, a goblin camp 2 days travel out of town, dragging a small hand cart behind them. The journey was filled with idle conversation as the group began sharing stories from their pasts. Simple tales, ones carefully selected, safe stories, ones everyone likes, where you hide your vulnerabilities and weaknesses, show your strengths, and protect yourself through a thin mask to appear desirable.

How does their raid go?
