inferiority complex thing belongs to Danni2005, and I did ask her if I
could use it, so don't you dare kill me because she said yes! So there! Now
then, on with the story!!!!!!
Six day's later, Tuon was still incredibly mad at her traveling companion for his 'pretty little arse' comment, and had long since sworn revenge upon him. It wasn't the comment that made her mad because it was entirely true. She had often been told so by the more daring soldiers back home, but it wasn't his place to say anything like that to her. She was the daughter heir to the Seanchen Empire. No man should treat her like this! No man. Not even Mat Bloody Cauthon! She had to admit though, he was rather handso.... 'NONONONONO! I will not think like that. Not about him, he kidnapped me, he locked me in an uncomfortable wagon, he he.... He rescued me.' She admitted the last in a small voice that was almost too small to be heard. "What was that?" the infuriating man had the audacity to ask her. "Nothing, just thinking." She quickly recovered. "About what?" "You must be pretty strong to shoot a bow that big," Tuon gestured to the Two Rivers long bow he had made for himself "So, How about you show me how strong you really are?" she then challenged, not noticing his smirk. "As you wish, milady." With that he pulled an arrow from his quiver, strung it, took aim, and fired all in quick succession. Tuon could only gape when a bird with Mat's arrow through its head fell to the ground in front of her. "Happy now?" Mat asked with a grin as he watched her stare in shock. It had been only luck that he had hit a bird that high up. But he seemed to have a lot of that. "Well that's dinner. Come on!" He said while pulling the arrow out of its head and walking back to their makeshift camp for the night. Later after they had eaten, Tuon was getting into bed for the night when she turned to ask him "Do you even know where we are?" This question shocked him into silence because he truly had no idea where they were. "No, I don't," he answered softly after a moment "We'll try to find out tomorrow. Go to sleep." With that she turned over and fell asleep.
Even though Mat was supposed to be keeping watch, he couldn't help but watch her. "What is she doing to me?" he whispered, before turning away to watch the surrounding woods.
The next morning the two travelers decided to just continue on the way that they had been going for the last week. After walking for about an hour Tuon suddenly spoke up "Which direction are we going in, do you even know that?!" "I told you before I haven't got a clue! Now stop pestering me!"
"No. I wo...Oww!" Came a painful yelp from Mats traveling companion, somewhere behind him. "What happened?" Mat asked spinning around, knives coming out of his sleeves. He turned ready for a fight only to see Tuon on the ground nursing her ankle. "What happened?" He asked more gently as he went down on his knees beside her, slipping the knife back up his sleeve.
"Nothing," she replied while getting to her feet, "Nothing at.. owww!!!!" With that she fell again but this time Mat caught her and lowered her to the ground. "Obviously not. Here, let me take a look at it." He responded while gently reaching for her now swollen foot. After a few minutes of prodding at it and having the now very aggravated princess twist it in every which way, he announced that it wasn't broken, only sprained. In his best 'I know what I'm doing, so don't interrupt me because I'm so much better than you' voice (A/N Just like most doctors, don't get me wrong I appreciate their work very much, but in my experience their all pompous jerks) which caused Tuon to laugh through her pain.
"Alright, I'll just wrap this and we'll be on our way. Okay?" She only nodded so he started to rip a strip of fabric off the bottom of his shirt to wrap it with. "What are you doing, don't you have anything clean?"
"Well excuse me for not being a world renowned healer who always carries all his supplies with him not matter what the situation is. I guess you'll just have to do with an ordinary, every day, down-to-earth, world-renowned healer who just doesn't know the meaning of looking ahead, and carrying all that crud with him wherever he goes no matter what the situation is. So you'll just have to deal with me." He replied all in one breathe grinning the whole time. "You're a world renowned healer Toy? I highly doubt that." "True, but I'll bet that you didn't notice that while your head was trying to catch up to my mouth I finished wrapping your ankle." He responded while she stared down in shock "Now then can you walk on it?" "Of course I can, what do you take, me for, an infant?" All though when Tuon stood up, she promptly fell back down again. "Okay hold on tight" "What are you.. Oh no you don't PUT ME DOWN RIGHT THIS INSANT YOU FOOLISH BARBARION!!!!!" "Now why on earth would I do that," Mat asked with a smug look on his face as he started to carry her through the woods once again. "What if you drop me?" she asked in concern. "Oh your not that heavy." He then replied obviously deciding to get on her nerves with his favorite 'I'm dumber that a pole' routine. "Oh yeah, way to help with a girls inferiority complex issues." Tuon sighed in exasperation. Suddenly Mat stopped walking, and when she looked up at his face he was staring at her with the most adorable confused look that she had ever seen. After a moment he spoke in a far of voice "I have absolutely no idea what you just said." With that he started to move onward again shaking his head all the while. After two day's Tuon was able to walk on her own again without falling. Even though she did stumble quite a bit, Mat was always there to catch her no matter what. And she was ever grateful for that. "So it's called a what?" Mat wheezed out after Tuon finally let go of him "It's called a strangle hold. I already told you that." "Yeah but the bloods just returning to my head so I kind of forgot!" he hissed, his voice full of sarcasm. For the past week Tuon had been teaching him all about wrestling and martial arts, and in return he had been teaching her how to use a knife to her full potential. She had quick hands and learned at an amazing pace, and so he also started teaching her how to use the bow he had made for her. It was a smaller bow than even the young boy's back home used, but she was smaller than most of them, if not all of them. Tuon had grumbled at the size of his bow compared to his and then had actually thanked him for it! But of course she didn't use his name at all. In fact she never had. It was always 'Toy' or 'Foolish man'. He just didn't understand her at all. "I said are you ever listening to me?" Her voice broke trough his musings a moment later. "Huh" "Oh my, what a sophisticated thing to say. You must have thought forever just to come up with that!" she snapped "Hey what's wrong with you? Lately you've been snooty and snobby all the time and I have no idea what's going on. Are you mad at me or something, or are you just PMSing?" He paused at that when she blushed. "Oh, Okay then. I get it, no more questions, lets just go to sleep and forget that this conversation even happened." With that he climbed up into a near-by tree to keep watch for the night. When he looked back down at her she was staring up at him giving her a full view down her dress. Only then did he really notice that in the past two weeks of living it rough she had really fleshed out in certain places, making her strangely desirable in many ways. He tried to clear such dirty thoughts from his mind when she spoke. "Don't you ever sleep? You've been the only one keeping guard at all. It's my turn." "Oh don't worry," he quickly reassured her while shaking his head and turning away to try to hide the red climbing into his cheeks. "I sleep all the time." "When" Tuon challenged with a smirk "When I'm supposed to be keeping watch?" he answered as a question (A/N because he fears her wrath) At this she gave a low throaty chuckle and turned toward her bedding on the far side of the fire. When she was properly situated to fall asleep, she turned her gaze to him and spoke quite clearly "Good night Mat" She they rolled over and fell asleep before she could see him fall out of his tree, which he did. All done done! Review because you love me and I'll give you a cookie. No that's to boring. Ill give you a pizza! BTW If anyone can guess my age and sex I shall make you a character in a chapter to come! H'okay now R&RPLZ
