M to be on the safe side.

Lyra had found herself in a stray inn on Kunata. She liked the thanati, they were nice, friendly people. A soft smile appeared on her lips and she closed her eyes, humming softly along the tunes she produced by pulling the strings of her strange instrument.

She wouldn't sing this evening, no one effectively asked for a song, açd she by far wasn't paid enough to actually sing. Her voice wasn't warmed up, so it would hurt to attain the higher pitches.

But she liked it like this. She knew people were listening to her music. The strange traveler, sitting on her lonesome by a table, with a pint of ale on the table. A small gift from the innkeeper for entertaining his costumers this evening.

Lion

Gods did he hate bards.

It seemed everywhere he went, he was doomed to run into one of those fuckers.  Always begging, always dancing, always singing, or strumming on their fucking instruments, smiling their fucking surly smiles as coins were tossed their way.  And just when he thought he got far enough away from them on the mainland, he knew it was only a matter of time before he got another one here in fucking Thanatos.

He was a fool to think the dead couldn't sing.

Vance just stared at the bard sitting along, perhaps he was a little drunk.  Maybe he was a little ornery.  But he didn't care.  He just wished he could set her on fire just by looking at her.

Lyra, however, missed the menacing and drunk stare Vancd gave her, softly plucking the notes to produce soft notes, yet none in the inn seemed to make a move to actually pay her. And the bard seemed content to just sit there and play.

It was one of those nights where she wasn't playing for the money? Why bothef, she had recieved a good paycheck from escorting someone across the island. Her purse was filled and so was her stomach. There was no need to sing and make money with was both her hobby and her profession.

Lion

"Stop, please for the love of the gods and devils around us all, stop!" Vance hissed menacingly.

The soft strumming came to a halt as Lyra took exception to that, frowning. And so did other patrons.

The bard sat up with a slow sigh. "You're.. The first and only person asking for this to stop," she started. "Why, hm? I'm allowed to play this instrument when I want," she answered, yet still, she had stopped. The female was now curious to the sudden outburst, not intimidated in the slightest.

Lion

"Just quit it because no one else seems to be enjoying it either," Vance growled and shook his head.  "Geeze you think a man could just have a fucking drink in some peace and quiet."

He gripped his glass and leaned back over the bar, the other patrons returning to their conversations and minding their own business.

Some of the other patrons seemed to disagree audibly with him, rude remarks were thrown and some also made the gesture accompanying it, before they indeed went back to their own bussiness.

Lyra however only shrugged in response. "Fine," she answered as she left the instrument in her booth, sitting back and taking a sip from the ale.

Lion

"Thank you," Vance said after a few seconds, at first not quite believing that she really put her loot down.  Well, that was something wasn't it.  He wasn't sure how he ought to react to it.  Frankly she gave in too soon, and he was still mad.  But there was nothing he could do about that, and nothing she should care about either.

It wasn't that he felt guilty, but he supposed it didn't matter what he did.

He turned his head back to his drink and he downed the rest of it before dropping a coin onto the counter and sitting up.  He eyed the lute.  Hrmmm, just in case she got any ideas.  Casually he reached down and plucked the instrument up and walked out the door with it.

Everyone had the virtue of patience, by some it was short lived, others however were patient to ridiculous amounts. And then there was everything in between. But everyone also had that one limit that shouldn't be crossed.

And Vance just did that with Lyra.

She acknowledged his request and stopped playing, but as soon as he tried to pick up the lute, she hissed softly and pulled the blade from her back, standing infront if her lute as she pressed the tip against his throat. "Don't touch my shit," she bit out.

Lion

Who's there you two! Take it out of my tavern afore I call the guards.  And they won't be happy with a pair of troublemakers like you," the tavern owner said.

Vance quirked a brow at her and even grinned.  "What have you got to lose?"

Lyra glanced at the innkeeper, tsk'ing softly under her breath, before back at Vance. "A pint of ale," she answered with a soft snort as she lowered the sword. "You?"

Lion

Vance chuckled, quite amused that she actually put the blade down.  He supposed he wouldn't want to lose his own glass of alcohol.  If drinking anything in here was actually worth it, which it wasn't.  It tasted like piss.

"Nothing at all," he said with a smirk and quickly rushed her, smashing his skull against her skull and quickly reaching out to grasp the lute from behind her.

Lyra staggered at the sudden headbutt. But she sure as hell wasn't going to let herself be defeated just like that.

The woman whipped her head back forth, bringing up the blade to slam the hilt of it against his chest, stepping forward with the blow. Such a strike would most likely wind him, if not topple him.

Lion

Vance just used her momentum to pull her forward, snatching arms around her wrist and flipping her over where he could.  He turned and reached for the lute again, wrapping fingers around the neck of the instrument.

She immediately pulled her wrist away from him and allowed him to slip past. But now, she had the upper hand, or so she considered to be.

The mercenary spun on her heel, foot sliding behind her before she stepped forward, her hand surging forward to grip around his crotch like a vice. Provided her rather straight forward attack was indeed succesful, she'd hiss "let it go, or I'll make ya sing a higher pitch than I can,"only tightening the grip even more to enforce her remark further.

Lion

The hand on his junk was a certainly sharp way to make her point. But if Vance backed down because someone threatened to make a eunuch out of him, it'd be the first time.  He just grit his teeth and lunged for her neck, gripping the flesh there hard and squeezing in a strong grip.

But it seemed this fight was going to be a short lived show.  When a large glass bottle slammed into the woman's head, Vance laughed.  "HA!  That's what ya get -"

And another glass bottle slammed into his head as well, making his vision back.

And when they would wake up, both would be without clothing, sailing down the nearest river in a small raft in the pouring rain.

[If this is too much, let me know and I can edit it.  Just thought it was a funny change of pace.]

[It's alright! ^^]

And as soon as she felt him grabbing for his neck, she coughed, took a deep breath and only tightened the grip on his crotch. But as soon as the bottle hit the back of her head, she slumped forward against Vance.

Lyra woke with a deep gasp as the rain drummed down on her naked body. She looked around with wide eyes, slightly on edge because of missing clothes, weaponry and tools.

And the person she got into a stand off with yesterday. She whinced in pain and held her face in her hand, groaning softly at the sharp pain.

Lion

"Holy shit," Vance groaned, holding his head and looking up at the sky.  It was overcast, the rain pelting down and the steady motion of the raft didn't make his headache feel any better.  He opened his eyes wider, feeling all his appendages to make sure everything was intact and he quickly sat up.

"Holy SHIT!" he gasped and looked up over the water, saw they were heading right for the rapids.

As Vance stirred to consciousness, all Lyra could do was glare at him, before letting out a snicker and turning her attention elsewhere.

Said attention was pulled by the harsh rapids they were headed towards and her eyes widened in shock, before she looked around the raft and tried to find something to hold on to, which she would proceed to do so desperately.

Lion

Oh they were in trouble now!

The raft careened and roiled as it struck rocks and turned round spun the pair nearly off of it.  Vance saw her slipping and lunged for her arm, gripping it firmly and pulling her back up on the raft.  Sure it'd be easier to just let her fall off, but counterbalance was what was keeping the damn thing afloat.
