She had been attempting to play nice while tending to his embarrassing predicament, by not bringing too much attention to the less than innocent acts that took place the night before, as well as keeping the blame on him instead of her. But it wasn’t to be, she noted by the amusement in his voice. She rolled her eyes while taking another rasp at his wounded back then without warning ripping the pelt from the last clump of tangled fur. “Oops…” she feigned innocence, lacking regret on her face. If anything it would have stung a little since the majority of the work had been done with a kind tongue. But hopefully the message had gotten through the cluster of pain receptors; they were not going to speak about her actions.
Looking down at the bloody splotch on the dark colored hide saddened her only a bit. It was completely ruined as she had thought, but it still meant and great deal of cleaning if they wanted to use it without a grand spot of blood staring back at them. But in the end, it was only an animal skin and could be replaced; no sense in making an ordeal out of something insignificant. She gathered the hide in partial folds to set it away for later, but stopped when she felt his tongue caress her crown and leaned into the touch instinctively.
She smiled as he attempted to persuade her to make this day and day of leisure now that he was free and there were no appointments to keep. Oh, he was really tempting her now with the idea of making the day a lazy one even though her mind just wouldn’t let her without considerable resistance. It wasn’t as though she had any appointments to keep either. After her request from Ulilohi was fulfilled she was free until another one came along. But then she thought of the furs that needed to be sold, the copper and weapons that needed to be traded off. The DEALS they could have been missing… But in the end it was just more work made out for themselves. Would a day of relaxation really hurt them?
…damn him and his persuasive tongue.
“Fine,” she grumbled though had a smile on her face as she leaned her head against his back. “But you are getting water for that devil horse of yours. I’m not exactly fit to walk at the moment because of you…” And that too was said with a smile.
