As her wandering eyes discovered Davian again, she broke into another easy smile. "I'm surprised the dogs aren't going mad with you opening the door like that! They must sense what a harmless little mouse you are." Even she was surprised at the daring teases coming out of her mouth, and her creamy cheeks flushed softly as she cleared her throat and glanced away towards the dark wall of trees to the east.

His jesting drew another, light chuckle to her throat. "Hey, you never know! They say all myths have a root somewhere in reality, no? Haven't you ever heard of the...the dreaded...er...Weregrouse?" She flashed him a wide, toothy grin as she descended the steps. "Eyes glowing red and a razor-sharp beak! Known to stalk handsome young hunters in blue tunics, I hear." She could scarcely hold her laughter in at this point, so she turned to whistle for Coby and Nell, whose heads shot up like a rubber band. They bounded over with excited whines, tails flapping wildly as they nudged her hands in eagerness.

"Yes, yes!" she told them. "A bit of hunting this morning for you two!" Looking up towards Davian again, she gave a sheepish smile and patted the dagger at her hip. "This is all the weapon I've got, I'm afraid. Not much use for bird-hunting. But I volunteer to help pluck the feathers, how's that?" Her hands smoothed over the front of her drably-colored dress as she tried to look "useful".

As she sat on a plain, hard, wooden chair in the living room, and the loud thunk of boots being pulled on drifted through the open door, she laughed lightly. "Ah, I need my own weapon, do I? You aren't going to protect me?" A long bit of plain, beige ribbon was tied around her hair, tugging it into a tidy ponytail, as a proper braid would take too long.

Outside, Coby and Nell continued to meander about the wide, open yard, noses to the earth, with occasional but largely disinterested glances thrown at the young man. The initial excitement coming from the kennel building had begun to die down, but at the cracking-open of the door, Davian would be greeted by a long row of spacious, wooden stalls, each one filled with fresh straw. Behind well-constructed vertical bars, a line of lean, leggy hounds in varying shades of woolly, grey fur came into view. Some were sleeping, curled in corners, others stood at attention, ears perked, tails waving slowly in friendly curiosity.

"Davian?" Emmy's voice carried pleasantly on the cool, morning breeze, coming from the house behind him. "Where on earth are you?"

Emmy descended the porch steps with a light-hearted chuckle as she observed him greeting the two dogs. Tongues lolled and tails whipped happily about, and upon his straightening up again, they both wandered off, noses to the ground, having decided the visitor was welcomed and no threat to their home.

"Sure, I'd love to!" she said brightly, immediately turning to stride back the way she had come. Her hands were already moving to harness the long, golden tresses of her hair between them as she hopped back onto the porch. "Let me just...get my hair up...and get some proper boots on!" Her voice carried on as she vanished into the house.

Vendui riluss!

Welcome, Cao! I hope you find some awesome RP, and enjoy your time here :)

@GeekFactor@Timemaster Thanks people! I'm doing my best, forum RP is quite different from the kind of RP that I am used to, but I think I am getting the hang of it. Even if half the time I write half an emote in past tense and the rest of it in present!

@Winterwake

Shhhh, I do this *all* the time myself, because some of my RPP's do past tense, and some do present, lol. Just roll with it!

@Winterwake, I totally have to agree with @GeekFactor. I've been RPing here for almost two years now (different accounts) and I've seen a lot of GMs. Some considered themselves to be "advanced" or "one of the best" but didn't do half of what you've done with this RP.

It's a pleasure to RP in your world and on behalf of all the RPers here (I'm sure they will agree), I have to say : Thank you !

@Timemaster

I agree whole-heartedly!

@Winterwake You're doing an absolute, ass-kicking job as GM! Just wanted to say that :)

A ready, bright smile broke out over her youthful features as she realized who was approaching the house. The second dog, a female called Nell, followed after Coby now, while her tail windmilled in a friendly fashion.

"Davian Swan," she called back to him, setting a hand on her hip and giving him an affable, teasing tilt of her head. "It's too early this morning for trouble like yourself. What brings you around, hmm?"

She chuckled softly as both dogs circled about his legs now, wet noses pressing curiously against his hands and over his trousers to see where he'd been. From the kennel nearby - a long, low, wooden building within a stone's throw of the house - more voices joined in the greeting with a chorus of good-natured barks and yips.

The best rp moments in your life.

Anytime the story leaps out of my hands and goes somewhere incredible and amazing that I didn't expect. Stories that make my heart pound with anticipation of the next post. RP that keeps me up till 3am because I literally cannot look away until I know how it's going to conclude.
