[IC] The ultimate goblin king-beware his powers

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia laughs. "Then it's perfect if I want them to leave."

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head, grim. "They'd chase you with earnest. They'd think you're offering yourself."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia frowns, blushing. "Then it's a good thing I was only joking. I don't want anyone but you to see my body."

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles. "Thank you." He kisses her softly. "I'll protect you."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia blushes and kisses him back. “No your going to the mages. Go I’ve got this.” She pushes on his shoulder.

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles. "Call for me if you need me. My full name, if you would. Dharichar Darkheart." He takes off, heading to the back to find any goblin mages.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia nods, committing the name to memory. She crouches behind a crate of supplies, and swiftly takes out the guards with two arrows. She cuts the supply line with hardly any hitches, except from when her underdress had drifted down her chest as she worked and a goblin thought she was offering herself.

[Shadow Dragon]

It chatters in excitement, and many of his friends turn to her with earnest. "Run!"

[Sharidi37495]

“It was an accident! Ac-cid-ent!” Cesidia hikes her dress up and sprints off. “Dharichar Darkheart!”

[Shadow Dragon]

He turns in midair, and raises his hand. "Duck!" A wave of fire sprays from his palm.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia drops, sprawling on the grass.

[Shadow Dragon]

The blaze flies just over her head, and hits the goblins square in the chest, and they ignite like torches, howling in agony. He runs over to her, and jumps over her, wings spread.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia hugs his arms tightly. “Sorry,” she mutters.

[Shadow Dragon]

He shakes his head. "You have nothing to be sorry for." He hugs her.

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia sighs and hugs him back. “Did you at least get to the mages first?”

[Shadow Dragon]

"A few of them, though some of them likely had some fire wards when they saw their friends burning to death."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia sighs with a nod. “I promised myself I wouldn’t need your help,” she mutters. “That I could handle this myself, and I had to go and screw it up.”

[Shadow Dragon]

He smiles. "Don't be so hard on yourself. You did really well until you started panicking."

[Sharidi37495]

Cesidia huffs. “I panicked because my dress slipped, I guess while I was working, and some goblins saw it and thought I was as you say ‘offering myself’. Excuse me if they don’t cover what to do when a lustful goblin lays an eye on you and starts to give chase in the court.”

[Shadow Dragon]

"Ah. That's understandable." He frowns. "Sorry, I wasn't thinking."
