Once the client was seated Laelia began swaying to the enchanting music, her lithe body bending and moving in an exotic way. her long hair flowing down her back like a dark river. her eyes closed as her dancing moved faster and more exciting until she fell to her knees at Marcus's feet. Smiling at him, her dark eyes danced with the light of the torches set around them. Breathing hard, Laelia met her client's eyes, feeling a strange pull In her chest.
"Would you like more companionship?" She asked, running her hand up Marcus's knee,
"It is more, but I'm worth it."

Smiling alluringly, Laelia drew Marcus into the building and through the people already inside. The smells and the smoke was more intense here, but it gave everything a headier feel. Farther in, Laelia finally stopped at an empty corner of the room where a lounge chair with wine and fruits was set. There was a sheer red silk curtain that could be drawn around the corner to make it more private, but Laelia left it open for now as she motioned towards the lounge,
"Your seat Master..." The girl raised an eyebrow towards her client in question.

There, that man. He was clean and well dressed, and about Laelia's age. She walked over to him, putting an extra sway in her hips as she approached him,
"Hello there," She purred laying a hand on his arm for a moment before taking a step back, his hand in her's,
"I'm Laelia... Want to come inside?" She asked, giving a slight tug,
"I have something nice to show you, I'm a good dancer, want to see?"

The Adventurer(Jones Sparrow and WhiteLily)

Okay so it's been a month and you haven't responded to my PMs. Are we still doing this or not?

The day was already becoming warm and Laelia wanted nothing more than to go to the river and jump in to cool off, but she had "work" to do. Her madame was upset that Laelia hadn't taken a customer in three days, sure the girl made enough, but it wasn't enough. The money would never come fast enough for Laelia to pay all of her debts, so she figure why bother with trying to do as much as you can when she would be stuck here for the rest of her life. Pushing away from the building, her sheer silk toga fluttered against the form of her body and her gold bangles chimed together, Laelia sighed and wondered if she should take a customer today... Yes she would, but someone who was clean and not old enough to be her father. Those men repulsed the young woman.

The drums and flutes created a mesmerizing tune that floated through the incense filled air. The building was the local brothel in Pompeii, the one where men went when they wanted the utmost discretion for their indiscretions. Outside of the building women and men stood, half naked and calling out to passers-by trying to entice them into the building... for a price of course. One girl though stood quietly against the building, her bangles chiming together when she moved, her long brown hair tumbling down her back. Every so often she would give a smile to someone, but she remained silent and seemed to be waiting.

Taya went to the drying rack and set the furs and skins to drying before she heard an annoyed shout from one of the women for Taya to help them carry in the meat to be cooked. She waved back and began the trek to the cleaning area. The entire trip, the girl thought of Erik and she couldn't stop the happy blush that crept up her cheeks. She smiled into the cold wind, thinking about dancing with Erik later that night, hoping that they would spend most of the night with one another. With a majority of the trip behind her, Taya was grateful to see the group of women growing larger, but the feeling was short lived when a loud growl split the silent air. Taya spun around and her mouth dropped open, a skinny, starving white bear was lumbering in the direction of the group and Taya was in its path.

Backing away quickly, Taya shouted to the other women,
"Bear! Bear! Run!" She cried, spinning around, sprinting away from the bear as the other women jumped up and scattered, all of them screaming. Taya's heart felt like it was going to burst out of her chest, she could hear the bear's heavy puffing breath behind her. A sudden, blinding pain burst across Taya's back and she tumbled forward, crying out from the pain as the bear swiped his giant paw at her again, cutting off Taya's scream This time though, there was no pain, only light and the comforting feeling of warmth enveloping her.

Letting him take the skin, Taya turned back to the rest of the skins and began cleaning them quickly. She had dawdled a lot and knew that the other women would be grumbling about her not pulling her weight in helping to make the feast for the evening. She didn't want to leave Erik yet, but she had to. Gathering up the skins in her arms, Taya stood up and sighed,
"I have to get these to dry. I will see you at the feast," She said with a smile.

She bit her lip, thinking. There wasn't actually much for him to do that she couldn't do herself, but Taya wasn't quite ready to let Erik go yet. Standing to her feet, the young woman held up the cleaned deer skin, examining it with her eyes,
"I need this cut so it lays flat. Unless you want to take it and make something out of it... Something for a special someone..." She said, looking at Erik from the corner of her eye. It was a bold statement, but Taya wasn't a shy girl. Some of the men wanted a quiet, tame girl but Taya hoped Erik didn't mind this little bit of brashness on her part.

She nodded, setting the hide aside to use a stick to poke the fire back to life. She got up onto her knees to stir the stew as well before sitting back and pulling the hide up again,
"I will, I promise you will have fun." Taya said as she worked,
"But for now we need to work."
