"Hmph. Beauty takes time," Maya said as Lex went out the door. "I will finish when I finish."

As soon as Lex was gone, Maya skirted behind her changing screen and pulled on the dress she had selected, a pretty Adelan made thing with a sweeping neckline that was made of rich red dyes and splashes of decorative blue embroidery about the hems, done in a geometric pattern. She checked her hair when she was finished, primped and touched up her makeup (for it had been ruined from all that crying), and then went and opened her door.

"Done. Now hurry up and get inside! Also, since we're apparently doing this crazy thing, what was your plan for getting outdoors, hm?"

        "Had you taken any longer I might have dosed off standing here," Lex slipped into the room quickly. "I thought you had shot down the wilderness adventure, of me catching food, you're not really dressed for it," Lex mentally noted the amount of bust she was showing with that neckline. "And aren't you wanting to make me change so that I can pose as a servant? I refuse to give up my magic sword or bow, no matter the circumstances. I sleep with the things attached to me."
        He moved toward the window, "This is the way I came in, this is the way I'd exit. With my exceptional luck, there is no way it could go wrong. I'd have no trouble scaling back down, but that dress might make it difficult for you."

Maya huffed like the answers to his questions were the most obvious things in the world.

"You said you wanted to take me out to eat, did you not? Not hunting, obviously, but somewhere. As far as clothes go, the easiest way to get servant's garb--without you getting caught!--is through the servant's entrance, which is outside yonder. And obviously, I'll be fetching them for you once we get out there. You may keep your weapons, because what kind of bodyguard would you be unarmed?"

She brushed off the front of the dress. "As for how we get out there? That's your problem, not mine. You're the one who wanted to do this, so you figure out how to make it work, because I'm not changing this dress. And if you ruin this dress, you will regret it."

        Of course Maya would not change, foolish of Lex to even consider that. The window was the best option he could think of, but there was no way she was going to be able to climb down dressed like that. Too bad he couldn't fly. Then a thought struck him. He was lucky, foolish at times, but always lucky. He pulled the bow from his hip and snapped it open with a strong shake. He reached up to his quiver cleared his mind, and let luck guide the arrow he drew. He nocked it to the bow string, pulled, and let fly. It sailed down to the ground and exploded into a huge cloud of down on impact. He couldn't help but smile at that. He didn't even know he had an arrow that turned into feathers.
        Luckily the expenditure of it's magic had been silent, but he could see the feathers slowly winking out of existence. It seemed they would not last long. With haste he collapsed the bow and went over to Maya, sweeping her up into his arms again. To the window he went, and as he jumped, he pressed his mouth to hers. There was no better way to keep her from screaming. Lying safely on his back in a pile of slowly disappearing feathers with Maya in his arms had not been a situation he imagined finding himself in, but here he was, and it had been fun.

Maya watched him shoot his arrow in confusion, because she wasn't sure how that would help their situation. Which, of course, would be a real tragedy if he couldn't work out a solution. Oh yes, that would be a huge loss--

Her thoughts cut off, because that was when he scooped her up and headed to the window.

"What? What do you think you're doing?" Why wasn't he stopping? She didn't see a ladder or anything! It wasn't like he shot the arrow to make a zip line like in some tales! And then he was on the window's edge and her heart lodged in her throat. "Wait! What are you doing?! You're not honestly thinking--?! LEX--mmph!"

She had started to scream, but his mouth was on hers, and down they went, plummeting two stories to land in an explosion of feathers. For a moment Maya still clung to him, their lips still pressed together as she lay sprawled against his chest.

Then her face colored and she jerked back, sat up, and smacked him across the jaw. "You phenomenal fool! What are you thinking, you wretched rake!"

        Lex smiled in his way, and rubbed at the spot where Maya had struck him.
        "I needed you not to scream, and that was clearly the best way to get the quickest result. Plus, after today's earlier kiss, I knew my punishment would be worth the taste of your soft mouth."
        Lex propped himself on his elbows now, since Maya was still on him, and he didn't want to dump her to the ground.
        "Any chance you'll let me stand darling?"

Maya scowled and gave him one last smack on the chest before she slid off of him and rose to her feet with a huff. "You cad. I knew I should have had your head, but instead, I'm cavorting about with you like a madwoman. Remind me why, because I'm starting to reconsider."

She adjusted her skirts and patted at her hair, which she was still wearing down but had pinned back some flyaways with decorative clips and pins. Feeling that she had lost none, she placed a hand on her hip and regarded Lex coolly. "I'm waiting."

        "Because under the antics I'm charming, and I have dashing good looks?" the smile on Lex's face grew with his comment. "Or perhaps it's because the life of a noble is boring and dull, and I bring a thrill of adventure to the day."
        Lex stood, brushing away feathers and picking them from his hair. They would vanish with enough time, but they were tickling him now, so he did his best to fetch them all from his clothes, doing a bit of a dance as he reached up the back of his tunic to clutch at a straggler.
        "I think given enough time, you'll start leaving the fancy clothes behind so you can run and swim and really enjoy the wild aspects of life I can show you. I may even venture deeper into your gilded world of nobles if it means good compromise."

Maya let her shoulders slump, chest heaving with a sigh, because as much as she was loath to admit it, his words rang true.

For Maya did love travel, and the thrill of the Essyrni Colosseum, and experiencing new things, and she was bitter about being left behind. But even the little adventures she'd had had been safe adventures, with her parents or an escort--and she supposed this was safe enough, as well, though more daring since her escort was a thief. And some part of her found that thrilling, because she was excruciatingly bored.

Even their arguing was kind of fun. Certainly more exhilarating than lazing about her room!

She perhaps didn't even mind the kisses so much. Of course, she could not say that. That would not be proper. No, the proper thing was to act like she hated it, and to play coy. After all, he was a dirty thief!

"Hm. Perhaps," was all she said, and blew a feather away that had been floating her way. "Perhaps I am bored. That's a fair assessment, so we'll go with that. Best keep me entertained, then."

With a little smirk his way, she walked passed him and started to head around the corner of the building. "Now stop playing with feathers and hurry up! We...oh. That's convenient."

For right around the corner, some clothes had been hung up on a clothesline. And among the clothes were a servant's liveries.

Not another soul was in sight.

"How odd."

        Lex was not shocked at the sight of the clothes. His luck was always coming through, always. He knew without measuring, that the garments would fit perfectly. He stepped up to them and pulled off his cloak, spreading it out on the ground. He began to pile his belongings onto the fabric, his mask, gloves, the collapsible bow. Then he pulled his tunic up over his head, without a thought of modesty. His seemingly sleight build, was surprisingly well muscled. Rather than the large, bulging muscles of a broader man, Lex had tightly woven muscles carved of his flesh. He was slender and graceful, with an underlying strength born of hard work, and a rough life. Scars from several whippings as a boy, latticed his back.
        He pulled the servants shirtsleeves from the line, donned them and buttoned quickly. The vest with Maya's house crest on it came down next, and Lex pulled it on without checking the fit. As he knew it would be, the vest was the perfect size. His hunter's greaves would not do either, so he he kicked off his boots and pulled off his pants, again without thoughts of modesty, and tossed them in the pile of his things. The shirt and vest covered to his mid thigh anyway, but it would have mattered little to Lex. The man had no shame. The fine trousers hanging from the line slid on without effort, and he tucked the shirt into them. It took him a moment to lace them, as he preferred pants with clasps, and then he readjusted his sword belt to fit over the vest. He retrieved his magic quiver, and slung his longbow across his back. To Lex it seemed odd that a servant would carry a sword and a bow, but as long as it made Maya happy he wouldn't complain. He didn't enjoy her tantrums.
        He hung his gold purse from his hip and then rolled his cloak, with all his things in it. A last wiggle of his bare toes before he slipped them back into his soft leather boots, and he was ready. He tucked the bundle behind a bush. He knew it was not the best hiding place, but he was confident his luck would hold out. Hopefully he wouldn't have to draw his bow, since he was leaving the small one behind. Heart Finder would kill his target without effort, but that was not always what he desired. He'd have to rely on swordplay if he must fight.
        Lex turned to Maya now that he was finished, and he stood in his best servants pose. "Do I look the part m'lady?"

If Maya was modest when it came to herself, she was rather lecherous when it came to others. Particularly, you know, a well-sculpted man.

So when Lex whipped off his shirt, she just stared. She knew the decent thing to do would be to act affronted and scandalized and look away, but she had never been a good actress, and that went entirely against her nature. Besides, she spent much of her time in Essyrn; it didn't bother her to see other people in various states of undress, and even she wore much less when she was there, where that was the norm, even if she could never be quite so brave as to wear the sheer clothing so popular among the wealthy Essyrni. And so she watched, scarcely blinking.

Why not? He must not mind if he was doing it right there.

He was lighter-skinned than she normally went for, but there was no denying he was a looker. Though those scars...she winced at the sight of them. What stupid thing had he done to earn those? After all, he was a thief, so it must have been something stupid and illegal. But soon all that was covered up, and he was going for his pants, and Maya waited expectantly--

And frowned. It was a shame that shirt came down so low.

When he was finished, Maya touched a hand to her chin and looked him over, head to toe and back. "Not bad. You clean up decently," she remarked, downplaying all the thoughts she'd been having while he undressed. "Now, are you ready? Where are we even going?"

        Lex looked at Maya, who was obviously sizing him up. She wasn't even sly about it. His grin turned slightly lecherous, but he let none of it show in his voice.
        "Dressed like this? I have no idea. I don't do restaurants. But I have a sack full of gold I have yet to spend, and I'm sure you have a suggestion. Just know I will be eating too, not just watching you eat, as sexy as I find a woman eating, so make sure its some place that will serve servants."

"Hmm..." Maya put a hand to her chin and thought for a moment, then waved a hand.

"We'll head to market, then," she said. "They'll have plenty there, and I'm sure we can find a sunny place to sit. It's too nice a day to be indoors, anyway." And she wasn't a fan of taverns here. She found the food generally repulsive, but the market always had fresh, good things--and often sweets, too.

"Don't act like it's your money you're spending, though," Maya said as she started to march onward, leading the way to the gates with her head held high. "You took my ring. That ring is worth ten times more than whatever you'll spend here today."

        Lex grinned in his usual way. "I don't think I'll have any trouble acting the servants role m'lady," he bowed to Maya. A slight exaggeration in the movements, but not much.
        "How do we get out of here without scaling the fence?"

Maya came to a grinding halt and stood there, not turning to look at Lex yet. Her cheeks turned a darker shade as she realized then that she had forgotten a very crucial detail. She didn't make a habit of sneaking out without an escort, though. She never had before, and even this hardly counted, for Lex was her escort now. Her escorts always did everything for her, so she never had to think about it--even the little things, like getting through the gates, because they always opened them for her.

She looked ahead at the gate before them and craned her head back to judge the height. It was maybe ten feet tall, but it looked mammoth right then.

With a frustrated sound, she looked at Lex. "You're my escort. You figure it out."

        Lex couldn't help but look crest fallen He was supposed to get Maya out of here? It was her home, she couldn't just walk out? Of course not. That would be too easy. So he solved the problem in his usual way. With an arrow, and a little luck.
        The guards were not where they should have been. Some disturbance along the wrought iron fence probably took them away from their posts. So Lex used the unobserved moment, and pulled an arrow from his quiver. He did not string it to bow, but instead thrust the tip into the lock on the gate. The acid released from the arrow burned away the mechanism inside and with a gentle push Lex opened the gate.
        "Shall we?"

Maya watched Lex as he worked, and when he thrust an arrow into the lock and it opened just like that, she gawked. Now, she was no expert on how these things worked by far, but...how?

"You didn't even have to pick it," she remarked, staring at the open gate. "How did...? You can't...you have to turn keys in locks, even! You can't just shove arrows in things and have it work! Or turn into feathers! Or..." She shook her head. "Explain yourself! What are those arrows?"

And how was it there was never anyone around where they should be? She wanted to ask that, too, but wasn't sure it wouldn't come across as paranoid. That had to just be in her head.

        "Magic," Lex said it in a loud, exaggerated whisper, and waggled his fingers at her to play up the mystery. He let a small laugh bubble up from his chest as he turned and walked out the gate.
        "It's not the arrows so much as the quiver. It uses magic to create any arrow that's ever been stored in it. Lots of people have used the quiver over the years, and they've put all kinds of special or magic arrows in it. I just utilize them." He continued walking, not really watching if she was following.
        "You will have to replace that lock though, I melted it."

Maya's jaw dropped. "You melted it?! And how am I supposed to explain that?!" she demanded. "Now anyone could walk on inside! We are finding a new lock today while we're out. I don't know the first place to look for one, but as my lock-melting servant, I'm sure you do. Perhaps you even have a magic--" She waggled her fingers at him. "--arrow that can fix it!"

With a huff, she walked on after him and waited for him to shut the gate. "I can't believe you. I ask you to find a way, so you destroy my property."

        Lex, true to his lacking care attitude did not shut the gate, and waved off her comment about buying a new lock. He knew that was impractical. The lock was built into the gate. She'd have to hire a skilled artisan to come install a new one.
        "You're a noble aren't you? You don't explain, you point and give orders and simple folk fall over themselves to comply." He stopped walking, remembering once again that he knew not where he was headed. Market was such a general word, where the poor shopped and where the rich shopped were drastically different, and there was so much between.
        "Perhaps you should lead to the stalls you frequent, and I will simply put up the coin. Should I wave down palanquin carriers?"
