For the lovely Goblin King. <3 (And maybe Zozee? Dunno, we'll see.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The life of a Shadow Ranger could be very exciting. There were missions to go on, taking you across the entire world, adventures that children could only dream up in their wildest fantasies. There were people to hunt, kill, and bring to justice. You met some of the most interesting people all across the globe. However, you always came back to the Clockwork City when the work was done, so long as you survived, of course.

Right now the life wasn't all that exciting. Mission complete and time to head home. Maybe she should have been more pleased about that. Who knew how long she'd be stuck in the Clockwork City this time, though. Patrols were important, but she liked being out in the world. Like right now, for instance, they were in a forest, and the trees were beautiful.

So beautiful that she was hiding up in the branches of one, blending into the shadows as she peered down at her victim. Shadow Ranger Kenneth was sitting with his back to the trunk of the large tree, looking over a map. Usually she was excited about any mission, but when she got to go on a mission with Kenneth it was that much better! They had trained together as fledglings, and she rather liked the goofy klutz.

She had plucked an acorn from the tree and carefully aiming, dropped it, watching with glittering sapphire eyes as it fell, landing with a soft 'thunk' on Kenneth's head. Tesha had to cover her mouth with a hand to hold back her giggles. Maybe this was childish behavior, but where was the fun in growing up if you couldn't act a little childish now and then? Of course she'd been doing this for a good half an hour, with probably a half dozen acorns having been dropped on her poor friend, who was getting more and more flustered with each little nut that hit him.

GoblinFae

Completely focused on his work, Kenneth was oblivious to the world around him. He did not notice the gentle breeze that tousled his dark hair nor where his mission partner had disappeared off to let alone disappeared to begin with for that matter.

Something dropping on his head caused him to lift his head to look in front of him before slowing looking up. Nothing moved within the shadows as far as he could see so he sighed and went back to trying to understand the map in front of him. By his estimates they should be a lot closer to home than they were and he was beginning to fear that he had led them astray at some point. Tesha would not let him live that one down that was for sure.

Another thunk of an acorn falling caused Kenneth to blink and narrow his eyes but refuse to acknowledge it. Off and on for over half an hour he was pelted with falling acorns before he finally had enough and threw his head back.

"Damn squirrels I swear on your fluffy behinds I'm going to find you and I'm going to eat you and I'm going to enjoy it you little bastards!"

YES! It had taken over half an hour, but Tesha had claimed victory. Really, Kenneth's patience was to be commended, or maybe he was just that adorably dense. Still, she finally got him riled up and the results were hysterical. This was far better than anything she could have come up with on her own. It would only have been better if there was actually a squirrel nearby for Kenneth to spot and blame the whole thing on even more.

Half an hour of self-restraint was more than Tesha was capable of and the suppressed giggles turned into full-blown cackles. Kenneth was so easy and fun to mess with! Maybe it really wasn't a wonder why so many of the Dark Mothers liked teasing him. Then again, the Dark Mothers seemed to love coming up with reasons to tease all of the Shadow Rangers - at least the men.

Not being careful, Tesha's laughter turned into a squawk as she slipped and plummeted towards the ground, fortunately Kenneth broke her fall as she plopped right into his lap with a thud. "Ow..." She wasn't really hurt, maybe a bruise on her butt and/or back, and she almost immediately cracked up laughing again.

GoblinFae

Kenneth heard the sound of moving tree branches and the tear of parchment seconds before a heavy weight dropped into his lap causing him to grunt and wrap his arms around it. He recognized the voice though and his eyes widened in realization as he let go. Shadows forbid Tesha think he was coddling her. As he brought both of his hands up to the sides of his head he realized that each held a piece of the map and he wailed in horror.

"The map! Our way home! What are we going to do?" he lamented, his eyes wide and worried looking. "Are you alright Tesha?" His face switched from worried to serious as a thought infiltrated his mind. "It was those blasted squirrels wasn't it? They shoved you out of the tree. I swear those bastards have been a nuisance from the start."

He sighed and shook his head in regret until he caught sight of the map again and began to wail anew. "Ohhh we're never getting home! This is a disaster!"

Tesha barely even noticed that for a brief moment, Kenneth's arms had been around her, holding her in his lap. No, she was far too busy laughing, and when he began wailing she only laughed harder. He had been so obsessed over that stupid map, and it hadn't helped them at all anyway, frankly she didn't think it was much of a loss.

He asked if she was alright and she fought with herself, trying to get the laughter under control, but he made it so hard. All Tesha could do was shake her head and crack up again as he blamed the squirrels for pushing her out of the tree. It was too much! Nobody could be that thick in the head, but here Kenneth was, living and breathing right before her, or beneath her, as the case may be as she realized that she was still sprawled in his lap.

It took a mighty effort, but she choked down her laughter and wrapped her arms around his neck before planting a playful kiss on his cheek, exaggerated kiss sound and all. "Forget your silly map, it wasn't helping anyway. Mostly because you were the one reading it." She teased him before rolling out of his lap and getting stiffly to her feet. That fall had hurt a little, but she hoped she hadn't hurt him by landing on him.

GoblinFae

He froze as she flung herself at him and laid a kiss upon his cheek. Kenneth's eyes shifted to watch her but he otherwise made no movement, much like prey would in face of the great predator. In his fear of being slapped or yelled at it, he nearly missed her snide comments concerning his map and skills.

It was only after she left his lap that he realized it and was scrambling to his feet in protest. "Hey! What's that supposed to me? I can read just fine thank you very much! You just destroyed the last scrap of hope we had of getting home. Now we're forever doomed to wander the wilds. It's HOPELESS Tesha! We're doomed!"

Kenneth's reactions to getting one of her playful kisses on his cheek always amused Tesha. The poor guy froze up and got so red every time. Part of her wondered if maybe she shouldn't do it anymore since it obviously bothered him so much. Then again, as she dusted herself off and listened to his dramatic wailing, she figured if she stopped doing things just because they bothered him she'd have to completely stay away from him the rest of her life.

"Oh stop being such a girl. We're fine. And you were not reading it just fine or we wouldn't have gotten lost and we wouldn't still be lost after you staring at the map for half an hour. And what do you mean I destroyed it anyway? The squirrels pushed me out of the tree, remember?" Damn she was good, she managed to say that without even smirking.

GoblinFae

Kenneth raised his gaze to the branches overhead as he counted to ten in his head in order to not lose his temper. "Well yes you because technically speaking it was your body that fell through it not theirs. And for your information, I am NOT being a girl Tesha!"

He growled and balled the ruined map up before throwing it grouchily. A cry from overhead resounded from the trees moments before a handsome mockingbird flew to land atop Kenneth's head.

"Ah Brennus, could of you to come," he said letting out a relieved sigh. "Which way is home friend?" The bird instantly twittered before flying off in one direction followed by returning to Kenneth's shoulder. "Guess you're right after all Tesha. Not so doomed yet."

Tesha rolled her eyes, but bit her tongue. Pushing Kenneth's buttons was one thing, but she didn't want to make him completely blow up at her. He was probably the nicest guy she knew, but you always had to watch out for the quiet, nice ones. Apparently they were the most terrifying when they finally did get pissed off. If that was true, then she didn't want to ever see Kenneth pushed to that point!

Though she was going to say something about his crumpling and throwing of the torn map, but then Brennus came to the rescue. She tilted her head and watched the man and his bird with a grin. A mockingbird was so interesting for Kenneth, but she liked it, and it was cute watching them as the faithful companion pointed the way home.

"I'm always right!" Tesha declared matter-of-factly before skipping lightly in the direction Brennus had indicated. "It's such a lovely day, don't you agree? Perfect weather for a stroll through the forest."

GoblinFae

"What's that supposed to mean? You are not always right. It's impossible!" The Shadow Ranger rushed to scoop up his rucksack and race after her, Brennus flying ahead to lead the way home. "What's it with you and forests anyway? They're just dumb trees. Nothing special," he grumbled falling into step beside her.

Tesha could ignore that first thing about it being impossible for her to always be right, but when he insulted her trees, well, that's when the gloves came off. Her blue eyes might as well have been chips of ice as she glared at him as he walked next to her. How dare he say such a hurtful thing about her beloved forests.

"They aren't "just dumb trees"! They're beautiful and green and alive." Her tone was dripping with indignation, as if he'd just insulted her personally. Until she was a full shadow ranger and given her first assignment outside of the Clockwork City she'd never seen a real tree, and the moment she'd seen one, well, it had been love at first sight.

GoblinFae

He blinked several times in shock not understanding what was happening at all. Despite her words, Kenneth really did not comprehend what all the hype concerning trees was about. A tree was a tree as far as he was concerned.

"Is it an elf thing? Because of your dad? Because seriously I don't get it. A tree is just a tree Tesha. You eat them, you cut them down, you use them. But they're not really that great in the grand scheme of things in comparison to say people. You know?"

"An elf thing?" Tesha growled, practically bristling as she combed her long silver hair from her face, where a bit of it had fallen. He was part elf too! Not very much, but still. "Forget it. I wouldn't expect someone like you to understand."

She folded her arms across her chest, letting them rest just beneath her breasts as her chin tilted up and she stalked along, feelings genuinely hurt. Couldn't he see that he was insulting something that she loved? It didn't matter if he didn't love trees or think they were special, they were special to her.

Kenneth would feel movement in his rucksack, and a moment later a fuzzy brown-grey head with a white star on it's forehead popped out, looking around and blinking its dark eyes before crawling out and curling up on his shoulder, pressed against his neck. Dizzy had been napping in Kenneth's bag, but all the commotion had woken him.

GoblinFae

Kenneth flinched to hear such anger in her voice. He knew he had hurt his fellow ranger and dear friend and he wanted to make it up to her if he only knew how. His face dropped, becoming sullen as his steps slowed and he lagged behind.

The movement in his pack startled him until a soft fuzzy face brushed against his own and settled against his neck. The Shadow Ranger smiled and reached a hand up to pet behind the Spirit Animal's ears. Whispering softly he greeted the little one affectionately before letting it rest. Tesha's mink was always one of his favorite Shades to deal with aside from his own.

Tesha didn't bother looking back as Kenneth lagged behind, dragging his feet. She knew how sensitive he was, but at the moment she didn't care. Truthfully a simple apology would have been enough to cool her temper and soothe her hurt pride. It was just a simple fact of life that Tesha had a hard time staying angry with Kenneth for very long, he was too sweet, too dense, and too sensitive to be angry with.

The mink purred as it was petted, affectionately nuzzling against the hand before settling down to sleep curled in the crook of the Shadow Ranger's neck. Tesha looked back to see them and rolled her eyes muttering something about a "traitor".

GoblinFae

He cocked his head to the size to nuzzle his face against the soft, warm fur before looking ahead at Tesha. It did not escape him how she looked at them before continuing onward, what he assumed was a curse upon her lips. It made him sick to realize he had so greatly upset her. He loved what a force of nature she was as it always left him in awe. His insensitive comments robbed her of that and Kenneth desperately wanted to fix that.

Taking care not to jostle little Dizzy too roughly, he increased his steps to catch up with her again. "Tesha," Kenneth called softly, worry and concern in his features. "Can you forgive me? I was cruel and insensitive to you and you did not deserve that. I'm sorry."

There was no acknowledgement at her softly called name, Tesha didn't want to look at him, he'd have that look on his face. It was quite an infuriating look, too. Impossible to resist, impossible to stay angry. Why did he always have to be so earnest? He apologized, and she knew he really meant it, even if he didn't understand why he'd made her so upset in the first place.

Sighing, her expression contorting slightly, Tesha just let the anger go. It was no use trying to hold onto it. Anger was toxic anyway. Besides, it didn't matter what Kenneth had said or done, he was still her best friend - lovable, thick-headed dope that he was. "I always forgive you, but the trees aren't dumb." She insisted stubbornly, but she did look at him now, flashing him a smile to let him know that they were good.

GoblinFae

"No, not dumb," he parroted back, wide-eyed and worried still as he watched her expression, expecting an outburst at any moment. No matter how long they had known each other, Kenneth never could predict her moods. He blamed it on her being both female and a warrior for his aunt was much the same way.

Hesitantly he fidgeted in the silence before bursting out quickly. "So we're good now?"

Zero

Tesha didn't believe him, but at least he said it. Sighing she tilted her head back, eyes closed as she smiled. The branches and leaves above them provided shade as they walked, but little beams of sunlight peeked through to lightly kiss her face with their warmth. She'd already put their little argument behind her.

She laughed softly at his little outburst and twirled around energetically. How much she loved being outside, and now that that negativity was over she could go back to enjoying it. "We're greeeeeeeat, Kenny."

He startled as she spun about but then smiled in relief. Kenneth loved seeing her like this. She looked so free when she danced about happily. Although he would never admit that he considered it dancing. Tesha would most likely put him in a headlock if she knew.

Kenneth winced, pursing his lips together though at the old nickname. How he hated being called 'Kenny.' "My name is Kenneth Kent, Tesha Nallvir. Why must you call me that ridiculous childish name?" he whined dramatically.
