''I am staring at you, if you don't mind.'' He lay on the bed sipping his ale.
''Do you see anything of note?'' he asked as she looked out of the window.

She grinned " It is fine with me!" she viewed the small village, seeing nothing until her eyes rested on the cutesy cottage ever. "just a cottage that is absolutely adorable!" she stared at it, the walls were built well, and it was fairly small, yet a perfect home. She laughed at herself.

He nodded as she spoke. ''Do you wish to go down now? We may see the innkeeper or his wife.There will be ale too '' he laughed.

She laughed and nodded then she led him downstairs.she did not see the innkeeper or his wife right away, so she sat at a table and looked up at him, grinning.

He followed her downstairs. There was no immediate sign of them, so he sat down next to Nienna. As to be expected, the absence of the innkeeper was not his primary concern, his thoughts were once again on when he would get another ale.
He grinned back at her, the events of the night before once again in his head.

She blushed at his look, and she realized she was slightly nervous about the wedding. She didn't know why. Maybe, she thought, she just was hoping everything went well. She couldn't wait to spend her life with this man. The two bar maids sidled up next to Niko when they came down and spotted him. Nienna nearly snorted in laughter. "Niko, looks like you'll get your ale, plus some company!" she winked at him.

The two barmaids came up to Niko, he couldn't help but smirk.
''Can we get you anything?'' one asked. ''Anything at all'' added the other.
He was amused at how they both seemed to fawn over him. ''Some ale, if you would be so kind''
As one hurried off to fetch the ale, the other took a seat on his lap.
''What business do you have here in Bree?

Nienna began shaking with laughter. Not at the woman, but that Niko was such a charmer. She knew they believed he was available. She watched with an amused smile, snickering silently behind her hand. She wondered what his response would be to her.

Niko's smirk grew as she sat down. ''I came here for business, not pleasure. Yet I find myself encountering the latter far more often. ''
She blushed at his words as the second returned with his ale and handed it to him,making sure to brush his hand as she did so.
He took a swig from his cup. Clearly I am popular
''What is your name?'' as the second began to lean against the table.
''Niko'', replying shortly. He noticed how they both looked at him, he enjoyed it. ''and you are?'' the first asked, indicating towards Nienna.

She was slightly taken aback at the women's forward manner toward Niko, yet she smiled nonetheless "I am Nienna." she dipped her head politely, stealing a glance at Niko. He really was enjoying this. Ah, well, men would be men, she decided. The woman who sat in his lap put her arms around Niko, getting closer to him. Nienna didn't know what to think, so she kept smiling.

Niko was slightly surprised when the girl on his laps put her arms around him. She nodded in reply to Nienna.
''What are your names?'' he asked.
''I am Elena'' the one who had brought his ale told him. ''Elanor, her sister'' said the one on his lap. ''Very pleased to meet your acquaintance'' she whispered before giving him a peck on the cheek.
He looked at Elanor with a smirk on his face. Her intentions were completely transparent. Elena seemed a tad more respectful and less forward than her sister, she looked almost embarrassed.

Nienna's eyes moved and were transfixed on the table. Maybe he was enjoying it a bit too much. She couldn't say anything, she didn't want to embarrass anybody or cause friction, so she pasted another smile on her face and stood "If you'll all excuse me, I must go downtown to pick something up." Elanor looked up and smirked at her, Nienna dipped down politely before sashaying out the door. Hmph, she thought before heading into the tannery, she opened the door, and suddenly ducked as a knife flew in her direction to land in the door behind her. She looked up with wide eyes. The tanner and another man were locked in a fight, neither of them noticed her entry.
Her eyes surveyed the situation, narrowing as she analysed everything. She had left her own weapons at the inn. The man fighting the tanner turned, and she saw her chance. She leapt toward him, grabbing his arm and twisting it straight out behind him. He dropped as his arm snapped. Whoops, she thought. Her knee pinned into the middle of his back. "State your business!" she growled sharply.

He looked up as she began to leave, he didn't want her to but she left before he could speak to her.
He noticed how Elanor looked at her. Thinking for a moment, he downed the rest of his ale. ''Let me get you a refill'' Elena said politely, though looking relieved to have an excuse to leave.
Elanor looked at him now the others had left. ''Now we are alone'' she smiled at him, her hand stroking his cheek.
The ale was making his brain slow slightly yet he knew that he was not entirely sure he liked what may be on her mind.

The man sputtered under her, "He attacked me!" he finally spat out. She rolled her eyes and let go of his arm, roughly shoving him over on his back. She threw his cloak aside and picked up Niko's vambraces he had been hiding "Get out of here before I report you for stealing. Or do worse to you than breaking your arm." she growled at him. Elenor had successfully put her in a grump mood. As well as Niko. Hmph! Business my foot! She thought. "Are you alright?" she turned to the tanner. He nodded, bowing and thanking her. She left him without a reply. She went to the dress shop.
The shop keeper asked her if she was ready to pick up the dress, and she said not yet. He looked at her breifly. "you need to get out of those men's clothes." he went to the back and pulled out a light blue frock. "here, no charge." she smiled suddenly. "thank you." she changed into the dress before leaving. She walked back in the direction of the tavern, worried about what she might find.

''You are quite charming'' Elanor was now moving closer still to Niko, her arms around his neck and her face inches from his. ''As well as handsome.''
He could think of nothing else to do but smile back at her. Elena then returned with his refill ''Thank you'' She nodded before leaving after Elanor shot her a look.
Niko began to grow slightly irritated at how she was behaving. He was going to drink his ale, finish it and be on his way and find Nienna.
Before he could reach his cup, she took it and proceeded to lift it to his lips.
He drank before taking the cup from her hands and draining it.
''Forgive me, I must leave'' he got up and it was clear she didn't want him to leave. She grabbed his hand and whispered ''Perhaps later''
He shot her a confused look before turning and going up to his room to wait for Nienna.
Elanor was clearly pleased with herself. She was getting somewhere. As she saw Nienna enter the tavern she gave her another smirk.

Nienna gave the woman a dark glare before grumbling and walking up the steps. She paused at the door, Niko was in there. She couldn't go in right now. She set the vambraces on the floor outside the door and stalked back down the stairs. The inn keeper was there. "An ale, please." she mumbled. He gave it to her and she drained it in one gulp. Elanor was snickering at her. Nienna rolled her eyes before going back out the door. She walked outside the gates of Bree and walked up a hill and stood, the wind had picked up. She sniffed the air, there was a storm coming. She closed her eyes as the wind whipped her hair and the skirt of her frock out. Thunder rumbled ominously, and a streak of lightening lit up the sky before the heavens let loose torrents of rain.
