*ROMANCE START*
Days had gone by, and it had been just Viril and Ezumy at the keep. Not to say that the keep had been almost empty, in the few months that the brotherhood had been created, a few hundred people came to sign up in the hopes of pay and glory. The Keep had turned into a bustling keep-town equip with any amenity that the usual adventurer needed. Most of the time it was up to Viril to keep most of the "employees" in line in terms of distribution of gear and rations. He had the Keeper make more golemns with the responsibility of bureaucratic jobs. Most of his down time was spent on the balcony over looking the courtyard, watching the newer members train and try to impress the priestesses that preformed rights to appease whatever spirits that lingered there, which made Viril smirk due to his knowledge of the true hymes-and-hoes of death.
After a bout of training and orders to his lieutenants, Viril found some time to walk into the newly made garden. On his way he saw Ezumy leaning against the wall. She had noticed him and gave a light smile.
"Care to walk with me?" He asked. To which she nodded.
As they made their way down the hallway, they joked and laughed about the various new recruits.
"You know Kimly? Well he had fallen down with the bucket on his head... It was hilarious, and he got so flustered. He was trying to woo me with his 'latent skills' "
Viril chuckled at Ezumy's tale.
Ezumy waited for a response, hoping that the bit about the wooing would have made Viril jealous. When nothing came, she became frustrated. She had decided to become something of a lover to him when they ventured to the river, but thus far had made no lee-way. Running in front of him, she abruptly turned and decided that the direct approach was the best.
"So what's the deal?"
Viril looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"I've been flirting with you, and dangling myself out there for you... Do you find me unappealing?"
Viril was taken aback, "Where is this coming from??"
Ezumy stepped closer, "I like you, and have been trying to get you to notice.. What else would there be?"
Slightly blushing, Viril had a sullen look wash over his face. Noticing, Ezumy felt slightly hurt, thinking that he didn't think of her that way. Looking up, Viril could see tears starting to well up. Walking up, he took a silk rag out of his jack pocket and wiped under her eyes. After he had wiped away the pre-tears, his hand rested on her fair cheek.
"It isn't a matter of of mutual interest, trust me.. I like you quite a bit, it's just that my current status-" he waved at himself "-was caused by my inability to defend my family before.." He looked down, "I couldn't stand it if I lost someone else.. I'm scarred enough as it is.."
Ezumy smiled a bit, reaching up to hold Viril's hand, "Listen, it's not as if I can't defend myself Viril.. additionally.. You need to stop burdening yourself with all these.. Rules. You said yourself that you no longer belong to Obcasus, nor are you alone anymore.. Let us.. Let me in. I wish to stand by your side."
Viril smiled, he hadn't felt this kind of endearment in a long time. Nodding his head at her, he lowered his hand, still holding hers. They walked to the garden hand in hand...
*DAY ONE OF ROMANCE IS DONE, EXPECT DAY 2 MORTALS... THIS IS ALL CANON WITH THE ToB, DEAL WITH IT*
*Ya'll get first knights, I get a fair elven maiden... Seems like an even trade*
