Show Mira how much more to life there is

"Mira..." You leave your chair to kneel down beside her on the packed earth floor. Mira recoils slightly, startled, and you take her hand. "It's never, never too late to start your life. Look at me! I was a simple man before I set out on this path. Now, I'm an adventurer! Traveling the world, living large, fighting dangerous beasts! If you'd seen me five years ago...well, you'd never have expected that."

"Well...all right...but you're brave," Mira whispers, still looking shaken. "And I - I don't think I want to become any kind of big adventurer! I don't want to fight monsters! I just...just don't want to feel like I'm growing old or, worse, about to be killed by a monster without ever having made any real choices in my life."

"So make some choices! What do you want? I know you want to feel safe, and I'm going to do my best to give you that...but what would you like to do that you're not doing? Do you want to leave home?"

Mira hesitates, then shakes her head. "No? I - I mean not right away. Maybe eventually, but.....ugh! I just...feel..."

"What? What do you want?"

Mira blushes slightly and looks away, avoiding your eyes. "I...I'd really like to..."

An instinct - an interesting one - stirs in the back of your mind, but you'd like to hear her say it. "Yes?"

"I've...never...been with anyone, Gavilard. You know...that way." Mira blushes furiously, still avoiding your eyes.

"Oh?" You straighten slightly, pleased to have been proven correct. "And you'd like to?"

"Y-yes! I don't want to just...get married to someone and keep running this farm...or start running another one...I want to have some idea what I'm getting into..."

You smile up at her and gently cup her cheek, drawing her eyes to you. "Well, Miss Bellam...would you like me to show you a thing or two about that?"

For a moment the question hangs in the air between the two of you. Just as it's starting to feel slightly dangerous, Mira draws a deep breath and nods eagerly. You grin.

"Well. In addition to hunting down this wolf...that's something I can do." You squeeze Mira's hand and stand, taking her in. You gently pull her to her feet. "Just to be clear, you've never done anything like this before?"

Mira shakes her head. "No, I - I've wanted to, but I haven't had the...chance."

"And you're ok with me being a complete stranger?"

"I think...honestly...I might...prefer that." Mira smiles slightly and blushes. "I mean...I know you odn't expect anything of me...you know?"

You laugh. "Well, that's true, I guess! All right. And you have no idea what you...like, in this area?"

"No...maybe you could show me...what you like?" Mira asks. She's still blushing, her red cheeks making her tanned freckles stand out even more, and you smile as you consider her words. No reason not to make Mira's first time sweet and easy...though on the other hand, she seems to really like the idea of doing what you say, and there may be some fun to be had in that...
