When The Gods Interfere

Chapter 6: Flirting with Fire

By Adrienne Valentine

Summary: When the Gods interfere with destiny, some people get screwed in the process, or so they think.

A/N: The characters are Tania and Sofia, you will get to know them. We now have a genre! All chapters will be in first person unless it's a special case, it will be switching off from Sofia to Tania. Sorry if this confuses anybody. The chapters in which Sofia is narrating are written by her owner, and the same goes with Tania. See below for owners.

Disclaimer: Tania belongs to Adrienne, Sofia belongs to Tetsuya. All else belongs to all those people who made the game.

REVIEWS ARE LOVED!

The Genre is Humor, mostly, this is for fun, after all. :-) Though there is some Romance.

This chapter is in the POV of: Tania


"When do you think they'll come back?" Sofia asked me. I merely shrugged. I was busy trying to not be obvious in looking at Bishop. I'm not some boy-crazy

girl, but he's hot. I was about to stand and go over to talk to him when I started hearing yelling from another part of the Inn. I looked over towards the

noise and saw, well... Qara arguing with the two academy students. I sighed and chose to remain seated as she begun lighting things on fire. We probably

looked odd because we were some of the only ones who weren't running around like fools. I sighed and looked at my friend, who looked slightly surprised by

the whole thing, but also amused at this point. I chuckled.

"Down came the rain..." I murmured slightly in a sing song voice, pointing in the direction of one of the fires, just sort of making light of the whole

thing. I begun to chuckle when I noticed that a stream of water was shooting out towards the fire. From me. I glanced over at Sofia, confirming it was

actually coming from me and not somehow through me. When it stopped I begun laughing again. I had been actually mentioning the water that was being used and

how it was dripping from the ceiling and I ended up casting a spell.

"Looks like I found what I can do." I told her with a chuckle. "Wonder when we'll find out what you can do?" She shrugged.

Duncan had already brought the three girls out and we could still hear all the yelling the four of them were doing. We were busy giggling about the whole

situation. I bet some of the other... patrons probably thought we were crazy, but oh well. After all, technically, we're not even supposed to be here, and

yet not only are we somehow magically in Faerun, in Neverwinter, but we happened to arrive not long before the Knight Captain to be and the whole shard and

Shadow Kings thing. I paused, stopping my laughing and leant forward towards her with a conspiritory grin.

"We have to get in on this." I whispered to her.

"In on what?" She asked, though I think that she had some idea at what I was talking about.

"The whole adventure. We have to get in on it."

"You mean the Shadow King one?" She was interested too. Good.

"No, the one where we became pirates and find Drizzt. Of course the whole deal with the Shadow King!"

"Sounds good, but how?"

"First we gotta find out what we can do..." I paused, we could do that soon enough, "And then we find our way in as soon as possible."

"Alright... How would we get 'in' though?" She glanced about while asking me this. I grinned and leaned a bit closer.

"Well, Xander seems to like you."

She looked back at me and looked slightly surprised before blushing a little.

"He's just flirting."

"Maybe, but it might work nonetheless."

"I don't know... I'm still not seeing how this would work out..."

"Well, he doesn't seem to picky about companions!"

"It's not like they seem to leave him with a choice..."

I paused, frowning and thinking before I grinned again.

"Then we'll just have to leave him no choice."

"Oh? And how to do you expect us to do that?"

"We'll think of something, I'm sure."

"Knowing you, it'll involve seducing someone just for fun."

"What's wrong with that? I might get the chance to go for you-know-who, after all."

"Oh will you be quiet about him!"

"Quiet about who?" Someone else's voice asked from right behind Sofia. We both jumped at it, her a little bit more than me, I swear. I'm not jumpy. She was

closer to. We looked up to see who it was and she started blushing when we saw who it was. I smiled and chuckled a little. It just so happened to be Xander,

wearing a mischievious smile on his face. I'm not sure how much he heard, but I get the idea that it wasn't the whole thing. After all, she and I had been

looking around for most of the conversation. Probably decided to sneak up on us and get another chance to flirt. Judging by how he was dressed, I'm gonna

guess he's a rogue, so no real surprise that he could do it. Damn, need to work on my spotting skills, then.

"The ranger in the corner." I answered for her, "I think he looks like fun."

"Yea, and you've been telling me all day!"

Xander gave us a weird look before laughing and shaking his head. I looked away and noticed that Neeshka was filling her pockets from the remaining patrons.

When I heard a chair scraping and, looking over, noticed that he had sat down by us, it was my turn to shake my head. Noticing the partially embarressed but

also interested and stubborn look that she was giving him, I chose to do something she might just kill me for.

"Well, since you're tired of me talking about him, why don't I just go and talk to him instead?"

She glared at me slightly, knowing exactly what I was doing. I winked at her before turning around and walking off, glancing over towards them on my way over

to Bishop. I didn't even bother asking to sit by him. I just sat down in the seat across from him, raising an eyebrow. He had already turned to me by then

and was raising an eyebrow in return. I raised my hand slightly to signal the new barmaid- Qara, it would seem, to bring me a drink. Mead I liked better. It

definitely didn't taste as bad as beer. The bratty socceress walked over, grumbling.

"What do you want?" She snapped.

"Two meads, on me." I told her, not even bothering to look at her before she walked off.

"You know, I've been told not to trust strange women who walk over and buy me alcohol." Bishop said in a slightly mocking tone.

"Well, and here I was thinking that I was supposed to be the one being careful here..." I told him in the same teasing tone.

"You should be."

I gave him an appraising look as our meads arrived at the table. I handed Qara the coin before she walked off. I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted to

pocket it all herself. I would've. Then again, I'm not the one nearly blowing up Taverns just because of small petty fights. I took a small glance back at

Sofia and Xander to see how she was handling the whole situation before turning my attention back to Bishop.

"Maybe, but I think I'll take my chances."


A/N: Sorry lovelies. I hope to start updating this faster. Blame me. I have horrible memory. I also re-did the prolouge so it's longer! Go check it out!
