Theme~ #6: Wanderer
He watches her face as she speaks, her voice sweet and low in the mustiness of the inn.
"The fairy princess was almost sinfully beautiful— her eyes were twin dewdrops in a rose petal face and her hair was the spun gold of dandelions. She was kind and brave and compassionate, loved by all she met in the kingdom-"
"Not unlike yourself."
She stills, looking up at him in surprise so that the bronze, uneven edges of her hair sweep her shoulders. They stay that way for several moments, both their gazes unwavering. When he makes no move to take his statement back, dull heat blossoms in her cheeks.
She whispers, "I'm no beautiful princess."
"I wouldn't lie to you," he grins innocently.
She bites her lip, wrinkling the freckles dappling her nose, and studies him. "It's your turn," she says finally.
"I think we've exchanged enough fairytales for the day," he says, suddenly aware of the unsaid, and straightens as though to leave.
"You're going? You've only just arrived-"
"Urgent business in Clarines," he says, pausing at the door. "Thanks for letting me stay again."
She looks as though she'll say something, but her plain face splits into a shy smile instead. "Don't think I make any exceptions for you, wanderer. This is an inn, after all."
"And here I thought you liked me."
She blushes, looking away. "Of course not. It's just for your fairytales."
"Lady killer," Mistuhide says when Obi steps outside.
He pretends not to hear.
I HATE IT. but would you review anyway?
