That knock was like bullet shots, loud and annoying. Earinix reluctantly pulled away from Lass's soft lips and snarled at the door, "One moment!" I swear I am going to kill that man. It's not like I interrupt him and Sylvanas! He inhaled and tried to calm down. He flashed a smile to Lass and smoothed down his blonde locks. A smirk played at his lips, she had kissed him. Sure he was about to do it, but it wasn't forced on her like he worried about. Then something that he didn't expect, he laughed! He hadn't laughed in Light knows how long. Lass looked at him like he was crazy, which he was, kind of. "What's so funny?" She questioned. "I didn't expect that." He said with a grin.
Then that damn gunshot knock sounded again, "Earinix! Lass! Wake up, we're here!" Earinix stood up stiffly and walked to the door, holding it open for Lass, looking at her with an amused look. Lass rolled her eyes and walked outside, Earinix following closely behind. He winced as the smell of goblin oil and their horrid stench flowing though the air. He gazed out onto the open water, the dock a good bit away, and the docking process, that took a good hour in itself! Earinix glared daggers at Keist. "We are not here! It takes a boat this size at least an hour to dock correctly!" He snarled at the other male. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Lass blush, he assumed she knew the reasoning behind his rage. Keist sighed and ran a hand though his white hair, "We need you two out here and off this boat as soon as it docks to find Lanais." Earinix sighed, he did have a point. "Fine." He said, retreating to a pile of wooden boxes and sitting on one. "Wake me when we dock" Lass nodded and sat down next to him. Sylvanas shot her a strange look, and Lass just shrugged. "He said 'as soon as it docks' so," She gestured to the slumbering elf next to her. Sylvanas huffed and gazed out to the shoreline.
A light purple hand flicked Earinix's elven ear. "Ouch!" He said, rubbing his ear. "Get up, we are now here." Earinix groaned, both having to get up and the heat. He may feel like an eternal winter, but his body still acted like it felt the scolding heat of the Barrens. He looked over the boxes and saw Keist and Sylvanas holding each other. He sighed and began to take his chestplate off. Lass's eyes grew wide watching him do this. As the armor slowly peeled off him, Lass watched his muscles work with the locks and straps on his chest. He was only wearing a green lumberjack shirt that showed everything, but nothing at all, not any skin at least. She sighed softly as he got up and showing off his back muscles and he clapped in between Keist and Sylvanas. "Time to go!" He said in a grin. Sylvanas glared daggers at him and Keist sighed and slowly pulled himself off his Queen. Earinix spun on his heel and offers his hand to Lass. She, of course, takes it and gets up. He squeezes her hand and let go, swiftly glancing at her. He walked of the boat with that cocky grin and his shoulders perfectly straight. Sylvanas was in front of him, Keist in between the two. Lass just tried to make herself as least noticeable as possible. She looked around the goblin establishment, it was much smaller than Booty Bay, but no less crowded. There are more Horde, but the Alliance presence was still noticeable. Earinix perked up, looking at a red head Blood Elf, "Laianis!" He shouted, and clasped the elf named Laianis on the shoulder. The elf looked shock for a second then relaxed seeing who it was. "Hey man. I have to pick up someone else before we left, if that is alright with Your Highness?" He asked and bowing to Sylvanas. She nodded and walked away, "Find us when you are ready, Keist, come with me." She gave him a grin, and Keist blushing but following. "Laianis!" A feminine voice called before Lass was wrapped into a hug. She looked at the man hugging her like he was crazy. "Gabe!" She cursed and tried to pull him off her, but he held strong. Earinix glanced over and tugged Gabe off her, "When a lady says get off, you get off." He snapped the last two words. Gabe huffed at the Blood Elf, holding his fist up. "If you want to fight, then hit me man." Earinix rolled his eyes and looked over to a sliver haired High Elf, with a dirty blonde furred worgen with his arm draped across his shoulders. Earinix instantly knelt down. The female threw her head back and laughed. "Earinix, rise." She said with the laugh still in her voice. "Sorry, Master Catrin." He said as he stood. The worgen on her shoulder gave her a questioning look. "He used to be a student of mine, Krist." She explained his unsaid question. Gabe looked at the lot of Horde and rolled his eyes. "Krist, are you really going with them?" He snapped. Krist nodded and 'kissed' Catrin on the cheek. "I have to." He said simply. Gabe sighed and leaned on the wall. "I think I should go get the others." Earinix said.
The trio walked back to the group, Sylvanas's hair was a mess, Keist robe was a bit torn, but other than that they looked fine. Earinix went back to Lass's side, Gabe still glaring at him. Laianis clapped his hands together. "So, shall we go?" Earinix nodded and got off the wall. The rest followed, Gabe keeping awfully close to Lass. "We need mounts, I'll be back." Earinix and Catrin began to summon some kind of horse, Earinix's decorated with spikes and blue skulls, and Catrin's was a scarlet armored horse. Earinix grinned at his horse. "Hello Bloodshed." He said happily, petting the dark horse's sliver mane. Catrin looked at him amused, petting her own steed. Laianis came back a short while later, animals following at his heels. "I found all the Hordes mounts, but I assume the Alliance have their own mounts." Lass sighed and shook her head. Earinix gazed down on her and offered her his hand. She grinned and hopped onto Bloodshed, holding onto Earinix's waist. Gabe snarled at him but said nothing. Earinix smirked at the human, having to walk instead of sitting on top a mount. Laianis red armored horse whined having Alliance so close and his master not doing anything about it. "We should get going." The red head said, petting his horse.
After a good day's travel and they were still in the Barrens. Earinix gazed upward to the stars, Lass asleep on his back. Poor thing fell asleep about an hour ago. "We need to make camp." Earinix shouted to the front of the group to Laianis. The other nodded and stopped his horse named Dawnchaser. "He is right, the animals are growing tried." Krist spoke up, standing up on his hind legs and rubbing his hands. Catrin rolled her eyes at him. "I told you that you could get on if you got tired." He shrugged and grabs the tent on her horse. Laianis nodded and hopped down from his own. "Aye set up everyone." Everyone slowly began getting up and setting up tents or gathering firewood. After there was a decent pile and a fire was going, everyone began heading to a tent for the night. Lass followed Earinix, not knowing why. Earinix was already out of his armor and was just in a pair of linen pants and was asleep, Lass just curled up beside him and fell swiftly into a slumber.
Her sleep was quickly interrupted, as Gabe's hand shook her shoulder. "We have to go." He said in a hissed whisper. She growled at him, "No Gabe, I will finish my quest when I see fit, not you. Speaking of, what are you doing here anyway?" You were taking too long, so I followed you." She glared at him, "No, as in why are you in my tent?" She snapped. She may have found him attractive before, but that was before she met the man that was sleeping beside her. "Well," He grinned at her, "I wanted to tell you that and your father told me before I left," His grin grew wider, "When you get back we are to be married!" He said in an excited whisper. She gasped and he took the opportunity to kiss her, sliding his tongue into her mouth, he tasted like salt and chicken. She pushed him off her, "Good night Cassidy." He said with a grin, and when back outside. She felt Earinix shift and hoped he wasn't awake. "Cassidy?" He questioned.
