A New Scent

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

I smiled, happy that Douleur and I were...were...Actually, I wasn't sure what we were. Friends I suppose, when it came down to it. Lovers, eventually. But for now I would settle for just being able to talk to her again.
"Let me pay." I said fishing for coin and handing it to the shoppe keep.

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

“Thank you,” I said, smiling at Delaunay.

The shop keep wrapped up my selection and as she did, she said, “This is a very popular scent with lovers. It relaxes and decreases inhibitions. It also increases the sexual appetite.”

I laughed softly. “Perhaps not such an unusual choice after all,” I murmured, grinning at Delaunay.

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

I chuckled and turned my gaze to Douleur.
"I don't think you need such a scent my dear, I think you already have that affect on your partners." I teased.

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

“I’m not one to turn aside help,” I said, smiling as I accepted the wrapped package.

“Shall we go?” I asked Delaunay.

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

I chuckled and offered her my arm.
"We shall." I said smiling to her. "Where ever you wish, my treat."

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

I slipped my arm through his. “Where ever is close,” I replied, smiling.

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

I smiled to her and guided us out the door.
"The adepts in?" I asked looking to her. "Or some where nicer?"

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

“Somewhere more private,” I replied. “I’d like to be able to actually talk over the noise.”

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

"Alright," I said smiling. "Where to then, you pick."

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

“The White Hart isn’t far, how about there?” I suggested.

[Prince Delaunay de la Courcel]

"Sounds perfect." I said smiling. "Shall I led the way or you?" I said giving her a teasing wink.

[Douleur nó Shahrizai]

“You, of course,” I said, chuckling and leaning against him slightly.
