[center][color=fff79a][h3]Lena & Tania[/h3][/color][/center] [hr] [@MacDuffy][@Duoya][@cloudystar][@Cherrywitch] Lena, unlike the other two girls in the mansion had made a point of getting up early. Out of habit, really, she was always up at the crack of dawn. Working for a blacksmith meant getting up early as well as some late nights. Of course, she still felt a bit bad about her behavior towards Vilivyn and Faera both, even if they didn't entirely seemed to bothered so Lena decided she'd make it up to them eventually. She wasn't good at much...but, she could at least do something, couldn't she? But she had something else to do for now so she'd have to do it later. She left the mansion, making sure to fold any borrowed clothes neatly into a pile and place them near the bed before she left. She jogged down the street at a reasonable pace towards a less well off part of town where for the most part, she lived. She shoved open the heavy wooden and iron door to the blacksmiths, immediately assaulted by warm air and the smell of metal and fire. Had he been up all night again? Lena frowned. The old dwarf was going to overwork himself one of these days...Lena simply shook her head. He was a tough old guy, so she shouldn't worry but there wasn't much she could do right now. So she'd make him a quick breakfast before heading off to the tavern before spending a few minutes reading or practicing her swordplay. Maybe help him, if she could... [color=fff79a]"I'm back! Sorry, I uh, got a bit distracted last night,"[/color] She shut the door behind her, Tania lazily lounging in an open window. About an hour later, Lena bolted out the door covered in a sweat and smelling of burning metals and coals and with a small dusting of black coal darkening her hair from a small slip up. She didn't have much time to bathe if she was going to get there on time. She really hoped the others didn't mind too much. [hr] [color=fff79a]"Oh dear...uhm...Tania?"[/color] [color=a187be]"Pfft, don't look at me."[/color] The tiny pixie said from her shoulder. [color=a187be]"And really, you could have cleaned up just a bit."[/color] [color=fff79a]"I-I didn't have time! I don't want to keep the others waiting..."[/color] [color=a187be]"You could have at least washed off so you wouldn't smell like some elf decided to get overly friendly with a Salamander spirit."[/color] Lena frowned. Really, she should have probably at least washed off a little, but there wasn't a whole lot of time. She didn't want to hold any of them back, after all. [color=a187be]"Okay, okay, don't look like someone kicked a puppy in front of you."[/color] Lena pouted, turning her head away from the pixie as she kept walking. It had to be here somewhere, right? She was certain she got the right directions...wait, was that Vilivyn? It was! Oh good, she wasn't that late then! With a relieved sigh she hurried after the demoness, attempting to walk into the tavern behind her. [color=a187be]"Hey, you think she's cute don't ya?" [/color] [color=fff79a]"W-wha?!"[/color] Tania's comment completely catching her off guard. Not watching where she was going, Lena slammed face first into the door, earning a not so quiet chuckle from Tania. The elf yelped in both surprise in a small amount of pain as her forehead met the door. [color=fff79a]"T-tania...that was meeeean..."[/color] [color=a187be]"Hey, it was funny."[/color] [color=fff79a]"Tannnia."[/color] [color=a187be]"Shh, my cute little elf. I'll buy you a drink later."[/color] The pixie replied, patting the elf on her head. Lena, despite trying to give her a stern look ended up pouting and giving Tania decidedly the most unthreatening of looks possible. [color=fff79a]"I don't drink."[/color] [color=a187be]"And that is why you're no fun!~"[/color] Realizing she was standing in the middle of the door, with quite a few people looking at her, Lena fidgeted uncomfortably before moving inside, face as red as a tomato from embarrassment. She moved quietly to the side noticing both Faera, Vilivyn, and a few others that she had met yesterday. She gave them a hesitant, though friendly wave.
