They were the best kind of rogues. They didn’t mean to hurt anyone, they didn’t mean to steal anything. They simply were out to have a bit of a good time is all. Without causing much in the way of trouble. He let out a slow sigh as he relaxed against the wall when it was obvious that no one was coming from them. His relaxed expression was one that most people didn’t see. Lazily he glanced down towards the woman as a hint of a smile played on the corners of his lips. He was close to her, in fact this was the closest he had been to her since that hug. It would be so easy to give her one again, but he wasn’t sure where that would lead so instead he just savored the scent and the presence of the woman.
He shook himself out of his thoughts as she began to reply to him. “An equal, you never did make a good damsel in distress. You would always rescue yourself before I got there.” He flashed a grin towards her has he leaned slightly out more to make sure the cost was clear. It was as he glanced about and slowly began to step out of the alcove. He paused at her comparison to Servana. Oh there was once was one way that he wished both mages were similar. However if that was true, he would simply drag her back into that dark alcove and keep her right there for as long as he could. Instead of doing that, the Templar simply smiled towards her. “Well you don’t look like an old dwarf now,” Aurin replied easily. “…and yes. I can see that you would never do either of those things, Beth. I appreciate that, honestly.” He had been though both capture and torture. He didn’t want to do either again. “So Karolis it is for now then?”
He was grateful for something like that. Letting him have the lead for one last time. He smiled as he once more reached out to take the woman’s hand and pull her along. He liked the contact, even just this small amount, especially when deep down he knew it was the last contact he would have with her for some time. Instead of bringing a bought of sadness to him, it brought on a determination to make this last few hours together something to remember and cherish while they were both on their missions. He knew she was faking the lack of direction, and his eyes lit with his amusement. “Left,” he replied without hesitation as he pulled her down the chosen corridor.
