Luscious had gone searching for Lucy and Archie after they disappeared for a long time. It seemed like they'd disappeared or at least wandered quite far.
" So that's why Rick sent a letter ", He'd received a letter about a month ago from Rick stating his need for help and support from Luscious and if possible, Nisrag. That was one of the reasons he'd agreed to be the ambassador.
He hadn't seen Rick in a while and it was a sort of taboo to mention his name in Lishflour so he could never really ask how he was but now it seemed he was planing a rebellion and Nectar helped.
Honestly, he'd side with Rick any day and someone had to protect Nectar [ Wait, why am I thinking of her? She can perfectly handle herself ] but somehow he knew he would.
" Master Luscious, wait for me ". Luscious stopped walking and looked back at the bent over girl, " You should really work out more ". She puffed her cheeks as she stood straight, " I'm a seamstress, not a knight me lord ".
Luscious smiled, " Do you want to meet your empress or not "? She got up, instantly revitalized as she pointed at Nectar, " She's right there ". Nectar turned her head in the direction of the sound and saw the two.
Her eyes shone brightly as she walked over. Luscious felt his skin crawl slightly [ I'm not gonna like this ] She smiled warmly, " Prince Luscious ". Luscious nodded and gave a slight bow, " Empress Nectar ".
Nectar waved it off, " Don't be so formal. I have something to discuss with you ". Last night instantly came to mind [ Is she really trying to poach me? ] " I'm sorry but I'll have to refuse, I'm looking for Archie and Lucy ".
Nectar's smile didn't let up as she blocked his path, " I know where they are. I won't take much of your time ". Luscious clenched his fists as he tried not to give in to pleading eyes but it was futile, " What is it "?
" I need your help with something ". Luscious raised an eyebrow but she suddenly held his hand and started walking, " I'll tell you on the way, we're running out of time ".
Luscious was surprised, he didn't mind her holding his hand. In fact he enjoyed it and he was smiling because of it and allowed Nectar lead the wag [ What's wrong with me? ]
All that accompanied 4398075 was the sound of birds as she watched Nectar and Luscious leave her behind in a daze, " Was I just left behind "?
Pointing at herself, she was met with silence which confirmed her question. Shaking her head, she began running, " Wait for me master Luscious " [ They really forgot I was here ]
Luscious' mouth twitched as Nectar told him what was so important [ She's doing this because of food? ] " Why not just keep it for later ". Nectar sighed, " I can't do that. He'll know I was lying ".
[ Who's he? ] " That doesn't matter. You look like a man that knows his meats, take em all ". Luscious frowned as she suddenly let go of his hand and he looked at his [ It's still warm ]
Nectar looked back at him, " Aren't you going to come in "? Luscious followed closely behind and he saw his two runaways having a good time, " You two seem to be enjoying yourselves ".
Archie nodded, " Yeah. Sister Qidu needed our help so we couldn't say no ". Nectar wasn't listening as she packed the cubes into medium sized circular containers. Luscious did find the smell appetizing and was rather curious.
" What's that "? Nectar glanced at him, " I call it barbecue. Try it ". Luscious instinctively moved his head back as Nectar held one to his mouth. Her white fingers were covered in the dark red sauce, making them even more attractive.
Nectar shook her hand lightly, " Don't you want some "? Luscious found himself obeying as he opened his mouth and let her put it in. Nectar showed no reaction as her fingers touched his lips and she immediately went back to packing.
" I want some for my mother Sister Qidu, is that alright "? Nectar smiled, suddenly handing the ten containers to Luscious, " Of course sweet heart, there's enough to go around " [ Take it all. Eros mustn't get a single piece ]
Nectar smiled victoriously to herself as she licked her fingers [ This is delicious. I should open my own chain of restaurants when this whole revenge thing is over ] Then she wagged her semi clean fingers at Luscious, " Remember, I didn't give you any of that. So if Eros asks, it has absolutely nothing to do with me ".
Luscious couldn't help but laugh, " And why wouldn't you want me to tell him "? Nectar laughed nervously as her eyes darted about, " Is that really important "? Luscious smiled playfully, looking at the containers on the table " If you want them off your hands of course ".
Nectar clenched her fists [ I wish I could yell at you ] " His majesty is.....fasting ". Luscious raised an eyebrow, " Really "? Nectar nodded seriously, " Of course, he can't have any meat at all so I have to get rid of it all before he finds out ".
Luscious nodded, also taking her seriously " When you put it like that, it does sound serious. I'm more than happy to help ". Nectar thanked him again and he took he's two stowaways with him.
Archie licked his mouth clean, " She's awesome, right Lucy "? Lucy nodded in agreement, " Of course and she has lots of free food too ". Luscious only smiled to himself [ She's such a terrible liar. Cute but terrible ]
4398075 whimpered to herself as she sat on the cold floor, " Can anybody hear me "? She gave up as she looked around the trees which all looked the same to her and pulled at her hair in frustration [ I can't believe I'm lost ]
