Aussir nodded, she clearly didn't wish to ride Destiny, nor would he try and force her to do so on the off chance he pissed her off again. [color=lightblue]"Hmm. Very well, I will not press the issue any further."[/color] he replied. When she mentioned she had caused an incident at the tavern, he couldn't help but grin when she did, it was about time someone taught those hooligans a lesson. Of course, he knew the next night would be much of the same, they wouldn't have learned their lesson. Oh well, that was of no concern to him at the moment. He listened to her suggestion, nodding, [color=lightblue]"Alright, that sounds acceptable. Plus, it'd be even less likely we'd be overheard."[/color] he agreed. He was prepared to turn and mount Destiny when she spoke again, this time inquiring about the horse, [color=lightblue]"I'm quite sure she won't be spooked, I mean, look at me; I'm scary enough as is and she hasn't bolted from me yet. So long as neither of us start shooting sparks or breathing fire, I'm pretty confident she will be fine."[/color] he replied. He looked at her, smirking slightly, [color=lightblue]"I'm sure your riding techniques are [i]informative[/i]"[/color] he added. Aussir was slowly getting the hang of how flirting worked, though he knew that had likely been obvious as well, but he didn't particularly care right now. Deciding to move on from the topic, he motioned to her bag, [color=lightblue]"If you don't want to ride her, then at least let me carry that. I'd like to make myself useful to you somehow in exchange for taking the time to actually talk to me again."[/color] he said to her. By this point, Destiny had not reacted, taking a step closer to the dragoness and letting her hand press against her. Aussir chuckled lightly, [color=lightblue]"Seems she likes you Drachiathoryx, a good sign in my opinion."[/color] he said. He let his wings unfold a little, relaxing a bit more, though still keeping his guard up. He had come to the conclusion that, while clearly flirtatious, the dragoness could easily change her attitude at the drop of a hat. It was unwise to lower one's guard around her too much, lest they end up receiving a verbal lashing from her...or possibly worse. [color=lightblue]"This has nothing to do with what I want to talk about, but I was wondering something; just exactly how long have you been travelling for? I mean, I recall you saying you come back here from time to time, but from where exactly? You don't have to answer, I mean, it's really none of my business. I was just curious, as you never did specify what you did for a living."[/color] he paused for a brief moment before deciding to take a chance at flirting again. [color=lightblue]"Though I'm sure you [i]meet[/i] some interesting people on your travels, no doubt."[/color] he added. Mentally, Aussir hit himself, that was such a stupid and lame ass attempt at flirting on his own.
