Close Encounters

It was early morning when Rade awoke. She thought she'd heard raised voices coming from a clearing nearby, where the boys were sleeping. She quickly dressed and hurried over, and what she saw was this:
"Now, I'm sure there is another way you gentalmen could awaken a sleeping poet? Methinks hitting me on my head was not at all a nice thing to do!" Said a struggling Haer'Dalis. Too burly men dressed in black held him about three inches off the ground while a third, slightly thinner, inspected the protesting actor. The other guys didn't look much help either. Jan was knocked out, or possibly still asleep, Minsc seemed to have run into a tree and got a little stuck and Yoshimo was no where to be seen.
"Hush Bard" Said the third man "Our mistress is so eager to meet you, and it's not a good idea to disapoint" Haer' Dalis just stuggled in the gasp of the two meat heads. Rade stepped out of the shadows.
"Excuse me" she snapped and kicked one of the burly men in the stomach, making him double over and release the azure haired bard. Haer' Dalis took his cue,as every good actor would, and punced the second guy in the nose. The third guy looked stunned for a second and then drew his sword, when somthing white erupted from the bushes. The white panther dug her claws into the exposed flesh of the mans neck, his crimson blood staining her snow white coat. He cast her off like a rag and advanced towards Rade, sword aimed at her heart. Haer' Dalis turned and saw the sword plunge into Rades chest, and she fell to the blood stained forest floor.
"No..." He started but was cut out by a cry of 'TURNIPS RULE!! YAAAAA!!!' and a unidentified, flying vegitable, at tremendous speed, hit Rade's attacker in the side of the head. And, it goes without saying, he fell unconsious. The bard ran over the corpses of his attackers to Rade. The elf had blood rushing down her chest and face, and the contrast between the blood and her white skin made her look worse.
"Is she going to be all right Haer?" Asked Jan, concern wringing his normaly cheerfull face. Haer' Dalis shook his blue head.
"I... Don't know, she needs a healer, and I know little of that trade"
"Haer' Dalis...." Rade spluttered, blood oozeing out of her mouth and bubbling in her throught "There is a potion.... Healing....In my...Potion bag... Get it!" Haer' Dalis ran his hands over her waist, in search of the bag, to no avail.
"I cannot find it, my raven!" He said, a small tear running down his face "Jan, run and get Jahira, and hurry!" The gnome nodded and sprinted off. Haer' Dalis serched Rade's slowly dying body fo a healing potion. Sudenly his hand ran over somthing cold and smooth. He pulled out the blue bottle and uncorked it, but when he attempted to pour it down Rade's throught it just bubbled back up again. Think Haer' Dalis, think! His mind yelled, when he rembered something Raelis had showed him. He leanded forwards and put his lips to the dying elf's mouth. He sucked in a mouthfull of blood and spat it onto the ground. Again and again the bard administered these life kisses untill Rade's throught was normal again. Then he poured the healing potion into his own mouth and gave Rade one more kiss. The liquid flowed from his mouth to hers and the wounds of battle slowly faded away. Rade opened her eyes to find Haer' Dalis bent over her, his mouth on hers. Her first instinct was to brake away, but she let him kiss her for just a few seconds longer. So, this is what it's like, she thought.
"Ahem" Hearing the sudden voice the teifling broke the kiss and jumped away from Rade. Jahira stood at the edge of the clearing, hands on hips and a scowl on her face. "And just WHAT do you think you are doing, bard?" She snapped. Jan stood behind her, snikering.
"Jahira, my hound, I was just.... She was going to... It's not what you think..." Haer' Dalis gave her a look like a puppy who has just eaten the best pair of shoes.
"Yes, yes, save your excuses for the tavern wenches, for now the gnome said Rade needed healing" Jahira strode over to Rades recovering body and mumbled a few spell words. "Vita mortis calio!" Rade's wounds healed compleatly and she sat up. Haer' Dalis put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her back down.
"Rest, my raven, you'll need rest" He said softly but Jahira pushed him aside.
"Nonsence! She can walk it off. Do you doubt my healing abilitys, bard?"
"No, of corse not" he smiled, falsly "But mayhap your sour attitude" he added the last part under his breath. Jahira pulled Rade to her feet, and Zugothra weaved her self round her legs.
"Hey Zugs" Rade said feebely "Are you ok?" Zugothra pured once in reply. She turned to Jahira "Thanks Jah-Jah" and Jahira smiled, hearing her old nickname. Rade huged her and over Jahira's shoulder she mouthed 'Thanks' towards the bard. Jahira turned and walked away back to the girls camp to get properly dressed, and Jan claimed he was 'going to look for Yoshi'. Rade turned to Haer' Dalis.
"I... Uh... That is to say... That kiss, it was just to adminisiter the healing potion, right?" asked Haer' Dalis.
"Right" Said Rade "Nothing else"
"No, nothing at all"
"I have no feelings for you what so ever"
"Same here" Rade paused.
"I liked it" She mumbled. Haer' Dalis looked shocked.
"Uh...But you must realise, it was truly a spur of the moment action, lest you died my dove!" He paused "I mean, my raven" Rade blushed. So did Haer' Dalis.
"Dove?"
"Mayhap, you should get gravely wounded again some time?" He asked, smiling.
"Yeah, maybe" There was the sound of snapping twigs.
"Oh, not to ruin the moment or anything, but could someone please GET ME DOWN!? Boo gets air sick eisily and a bird is trying to nest in Minsc's ear!"

So, who where the strange men? Who is there mistress? Will Haer' Dalis kiss Rade for real? Find out next time!
