"Hey Grimm. And hello to you too sir." the lioness said with a warm smile as she stood up.

He looked at Grimm, as he said quietly, "I already said my apologies, and unfortunately, due to a recently tended to wound, I'm unable to give a better bow."

He looked at the lionness again as he said, "Again I apologize. I don't handle being woken so suddenly to well. To make it up to you, once I have room and board in town, and am properly clothed, I'll be more than happy to provide escort for a night on the town."

He limped forward, sitting down on a nearby stump, dropping his pack into his lap, digging an orange out of it. He set his pack on the ground, looking back up at Grimm as he ran a claw gently through the skin of the orange, inhaling the scent of the orange as its juices misted out slightly.

"How comes the roasting of the pig Grimm? Im so hungry I could eat me two boars of that size."

(Ugh IMEI numbers are a pain T.T)

"HA! This guy hasn't been into town yet and he's already asking someone out! I like your still Vedo!"

Kinda strange that Grimm had already found a nickname for the fur, a dumbass smirk on his face. "We need a bonfire to cook that big one. I was jut gonna go out to get some firewood, mate. You stay here with our lovely lady...."

With a chuckle and wink to the fur, Grimm dashed off into the forest.

Rhoda giggled and smiled at Vedooril, Grimm's comment simply making her laugh.

He sighed as he peeled, then split the orange into quarters. He tucked the toothpick into his cheek, biting into a quarter of the orange, saying after Grimm, "Not asking her out. Providing a gentlemans escort as compensation for drawing blades on her." He swallowed the bite, eating the other half of the quarter of orange. He sighed heavily, as he looked at the ground, silently cursing his parents.

He looked back up at the lioness, smiling, holding an orange quarter. "Care for a fresh orange quarter Miss?" His green eyes shone slightly. As much as he did not like what his parents had sent him into, he was still a gentleman at heart.

"Awww, so you weren't asking me out?" The lioness joked with a laugh and a lovely smile, holding out her hand to the orange "No thank you." she continued still with a polite smile.

He coughed nervously, again looking down at his feet. As great of a bounty hunter as he was, he did not do well around women. He was shy, and depending on the situation, sometimes became speechless. He stood off the stump, and managed to say, "Please have a seat Miss. I'll be alright standing." He moved closer to the shacks entrance, eating the orange quarters slowly, the juices running down his chin. He slipped his bag to the ground, pulling out a small shovel.

As he finished the oranges, he turned and looked skyward, studying the over hanging trees. He kept the shovel in his left hand, using his right to pull some low hanging branches off the trees with a snap, laying them aside. Then he knelt, and began digging lightly into the ground. He went about the work of building a stone roasting oven. The work would take a while, and his injury would slow him down a little, but it would be ready for the boar.

While he worked, he was aware of the lioness watching him. His mind began drifting, wondering about the town, and more importantly, if his parents had sent anything to help him get by in the town.

"Oh really? Because you seemed a little weak before. I can stand if you need the seat." she said putting her hands together and holding them in front of herself.

In minutes, Grimm was back with ether huge stack of firewood, big enough that one couldn't even see his face should he face them. Walking somewhat clumsy towards the two by the shack entrance, Grimm tilted his head by the side in a goofy manner. "Aye gov'nah, where'd you want all this then?"

As his giant pile of twigs, branches and bits of trunk were stacked on his arms, he walked past Rhoda and towards Vedooril. However, one the branches that he held was stretched out like a limb and snagged on the Lioness and her attire. However, Grimm was innocent of this crime by miracle.

Rhoda had been wearing her normal jeans but it had been hotter than normal so she wore a small sleeveless top with thin straps holdin it on her body. The twig that was sticking from the pile Grimm was carrying had managed to snag both straps, snapping them and letting the lioness' top fall. With her luck, today was one day she had forgotten to wear a bra so her lovely breasts were shown quite vividly for a few seconds before she covered them up with her arms in a gasp. Unknown to her, Vedooril was in the perfect line to see her perfectly.

He heard the lioness's statement as he finished lining the pit with stones. He sat back on his heels, smiling up at her, his strength seeming to have returned. "I'll be alright Miss. Little hard work always puts the pep back in my step."

He stood, starting to gather kindling to line the bottom of the pit. As he did so he heard Grimm's return, and turned to face him. He realized that Grimm could not see the pit, and as he opened his mouth to speak, he heard the rip, and saw the lionesses top fall open, revealing her breasts. His face flushed, as his ears stood pointed, and tail straightened in surprise.

His eyes only remained open for a few seconds before he closed them, and turned away from her. Keeping his eyes closed, he walked backwards to her, and slid his coat off, revealing the clean line of his scar, and his vest, lined with the multitude of blades. He held the coat out to her, unable to speak, his face still flushed.

He again thought of the lessons from his teenage years, slowly calming his breathing and relaxing his body. With his mind off of what had just happened, he spoke quietly to Grimm.

"Grimm you can put the sticks and logs down there. They'll be close enough to the fire pit." He wanted to scold the panther for the clumsiness, but felt should he speak of what had happened, he'd be unable to speak again.

With the instructions said, Grimm began plodding off straight foward. Again, his clumsiness gave way to where he tripped on his tail. "Ack!....oh crap!".

With a loud ruckus of twigs and firewood, Grimm fell to the floor with his materials along with him. With a loud crackling of twigs and the yelp of sharp and pointy bits on his back, the panther was covered completely on the floor. A muzzled voice came from beneath. "D'oh....my bad."

He wasn't even aware of what he had done.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

With a blush, Rhoda took the coat and put it on, covering herself up as she stepped to the tiger's side and gave him a kiss on the cheek, whispering a thank you in his ear shortly after.

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 01 Jun 2011 Posts: 431

He blushed harder at her kiss, mumbling a quick, "Welcome Miss." Then he heard the Grimm trip and fall. He sighed, walking over to the pile that was now settled on top of Grimm. He stuck one of his large arms into the mess, giving a mighty pull, lifting Grimm clear of the pile. "Do us all a favor Sir Grimm." He gave Grimm a gentle heave, tossing him into an overhead branch. "Stay there until it's time to eat."

With Grimm out of the way, he set about lining the pit to roast the boar. He walked to his bag, slipping his bladed vest off, securing it inside the pack, as he removed a small box. He walked back next to the pit, kneeling down, and pulling some small jars out. After a few more minutes, he finished building the roasting pit.

He pulled a knife from his ankle, firmly setting some logs in the corners, then cutting notches into them. He found long supple branches, rubbing them with the pastes, then setting them into the notches. Finally he stepped back looking over the whole thing, pleased with it. Now all he needed was the boar to tie to the supple poles, and it would cook fine.

When the panther was easily heaved and pulled like a sack of cotton, he simply bad a dumbfounded face. The instant his head was pulled from the mess, his mouth instinctively said "Wait, what I do!?" and once heaved unto an overhead branch, his snow jacket got caught on the tip, keeping him from moving too much without ripping the jacket. More metallic rustling made it's way with all these movements from the pits of his jacket and as soon as he quit moving he turned around with a confussed face, scratched the side of his head like a dumbass and asked.

"Uhh.....what I miss exactly?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

Rhoda looked up at Grimm with an unamused face "A twig from the pile you were carrying snapped my top." she said clutching the coat around herself tightly.

Pleased with his work, he walked back to the shack, again leaning against the wall. He was sore from the digging and laying the pit out, but he felt refreshed despite losing so much blood. He rolled his shoulders, eliciting a few small pops from his back, as he leaned his head against the wall, sighing contentedly, staring at the darkening sky.

"Miss Grace, Doc, the fire pit is ready for the boar at any time." He stood waiting for them to come out of the shack. He stared up at Grimm, wondering why his coat kept rattling with a metallic sound. "Tell me Grimm, why is your jacket rattling with a metallic sound?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

(( Holy crap, invissible Wolf is tearing tops now!! T'was Grimm, May. Laughing

))

One hand went to his back to get te tip off his jacket and Grimm fell on his ass, the jacket rustling more than ever. The question that followed was also to be expected. "Hmm? My jacket? I keep all my tools in it mate. That's why it rustles like it does. Wanna see?"

Slowly, Wolf began walking with his back turned to the door to push it open. In his hands was a stuffed boar with a stick right through it's middle and ready for being fired up.

((Sorry. x3 Mixed em up again. Razz

))

Grace came out carrying the other end of the boar and shook her head, knowing her and Wolf had missed quite a lot, seeing Rhoda in Vedooril's coat and Grimm on the ground. She could only chuckle.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Grimm rose a hand with his dumb face and retorted. "Befire I am to be accussed of anything, I'd like to say first that it wasn't my fault."
"Suuuuuuure.....we'll believe that."

Wolf snapped back with a chuckle and some obvious sarcasm.

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 01 Jun 2011 Posts: 431

He saw them come out, and quickly took over for Grace, quickly trading places with her. "I'll take it from here ma'am." He smiled warmly at her, helping Wolf carry it over to the fire pit, hanging on the other two poles already stretched across the pit. He got the notch of the pole running through the boar to catch on his, not letting go until he was sure Wolf had his end secured in place.

As he waited, he spoke to Grimm. "What do you do for a living Grimm?" Though he seemed skinny, as he held the pole steady, his muscles stood out. He sniffed the air lightly, adding to Grace and Wolf, "Smells good ya'll. Can't wait to dig into this."

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Wolf began setting up his end of the fire pit with the notch, keeping am eye on his work to make sure nothing went wrong. Grimm however was assaulted by the sudden question. His head tilted and wondered lightly. "Hmm? Don't you know Bon Bon's first law?" "He's new in town Grimm. You can't expect him to know everything." "Ahh......oops. Currently, I'm freelancing, but I have to get a ride tonight at midnight for delivering a special package."

If one were to know his real job, one would be impressed by his innate ability to lie through his teeth so shamelessly.

"Please, we all know your an assassin Grimm. The way you act screams it." Grace said going back inside and grabbing one of her clean shirts, handing it to Rhoda to change out, knowing that something happened with the lioness' attire.

Rank: Mr. Fabulous Joined: 01 Jun 2011 Posts: 431

He smiled, having guessed a warrior of some kind. As soon as he knew that Wolf had his side secured, he knelt and quickly lit the kindling, coaxing it only a little, before the flame spread, lighting the thicker branches that would eventually light the logs. He stood dusting the dirt from his palms. "Pigs cooking now. It'll take a few hours before its roasted thoroughly. Until then we can all sit around and talk." He was hoping he could slip off once the conversation picked up to find some more oranges.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"....geez, yell it even louder why dont'cha."
With a scratch on the back of his head and a smile, the simmering smell of roasted boar meat brought a rather loud rumble out of the panther's stomach. "Oops...."
"Eat a fruit or something while the meat gets cooked, Grimm. Otherwise, the smell will kill you."
"If not that, Grace will."
"What makes you say that?"
"You mean she hasn't-......nevermind."

The panther then began to giggle somewhat. When no one was looking, he placed a spider on Rhoda's shoulders. Such pranks were akin to things children would do.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

The lioness jumped back when she looked on her shoulder. Quickly bringing her hand up and smacking the tiny spider off. She stomped the dirt and walked over to Grimm rather angry "Grimm! You know I don't like spiders!" she said rather flustered.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Falling flat on his back, Grimm exploded in laughter. "Bwahahaha! Man I had done that a while ago and NOW you notice!? Man this is hilarious!"

"Ugh...." With some dissapointment in his to e and a glove on his forehead, Wolf seemed ashamed of his friend at times. "Meet the Bon Bon man-child, Grimm Locke...."
"Hey! I'm not a man-child yet!......not at least until I get my Chocolate Milkshake!"

His last sentence was finished with a child like giggle.

He hid the smile. He did not think the prank was funny, but he found joy in the simple banterings between the group. He knew it was to light out to yet sneak away, so he decided to sit back on his stump from earlier, watching the obvious friends talk.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 21 May 2010 Posts: 11790

The lioness put one fist on her hip before leaning forward and flicking the panther on the nose quite hard. She stood up straight and went back to her seat. Grace just leaned back and shook her head at Grimm.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Hahahahaha-Ack!"

The panther grabbed his nose, rubbing it lightly with his smile still
plastered on his face.
