Raffey was smiling as the woman invited herself along. He considered that a successful step in his seducing of her. Beautiful and combat ready, his kind of woman. Well. One of his kinds. Most women fit at least one of his favorite types. His grin turned to a confident smirk, as he summoned a barmaid over and ordered a pitcher. [color=39b54a][i][b]"Let's make it two."[/b][/i][/color] 

After the two stretches passed, he stumbled backwards out of the pub, laughing heartily, [color=39b54a][i][b]"Killen, yous a lake in da ba'lan's! Crazeh foo!"[/b][/i][/color] He stumbled around the pub to the nearby stable, where he saw Dibney frolicking in the field, much to the chagrin of the stable boys. The giant Auric Beetle was a very playful critter, teasing the horses and chasing them. She wasn't hurting them, just gentle nudges and startling them. A couple of the younger boys were throwing rocks at her to get her to stop, but they bounced harmlessly off her chitin. 

Raffey whistled shrilly, getting the attention of the entire stable yard. [color=39b54a][i][b]"Dibneh!"[/b][/i][/color] The Auric Beetle chittered loudly and began rushing to her master, hopping over the fence a lot more easily than one might expect. She crashed into him, nuzzling him with her oversized maw. He patted her down, laughing loudly, [color=39b54a][i][b]"Readeh ta go on a advencha? Go' a pretteh ladeh joinin' us."[/b][/i][/color] The beetle clicked happily, slipping her mouth between Raffey's legs and practically tossing him onto her back. He flopped into his saddle, laughing in pain from the landing, before scrambling to get situated. He led Dibney to the northern exit of the village, figuring his companion would have enough sense to know to come here.
