" Where is he?", Samantha asked Shoto who was sweaty from his workout.
Shoto knew what she was talking about, but just to be sure, he decided to play coy.
"Who?", Shoto asked and hoped it was not Ryan she was there for.
"Rowen, of course. You might have tricked me but mother knows, he is alive.", Samantha said .
"No, he is dead, you saw his body", Shoto said to her.
Lawhey got out and saw them talking. He walked over, in attempt to flirt. He picked up his blade and put it on his shoulder. The moment Samantha saw the sword, he scaled only her right hand and hit Lawhey with the palm of her hand. He went flying, with the sword still in his hand. She walked over to him, and stepped on the sword as he was about to lift it. This all happened so fast, then Shoto stopped her.
"What are you doing, you can't just go around attacking people. ", Shoto said to her.
"I can, if the threaten me with a viking blade.", Samantha said and turned towards Lawhey. Shoto help her by the shoulders.
"Listen he is no threat to you, he is a friend", Shoto tried to assure her.
"I just don't understand you, you're friends with a viking blade wielding human? You must be some kind of adrenaline junkie.", Samantha said and stepped away from Lawhey.
"Mother would do anything to make sure Rowen Chessnut is dead. I told her I'll handle it, but because of our relationship, I guess she doesn't trust me. She has a void bounty on you and your friends.", Samantha said.
She look at her peach blouse, it was stained by blood and so was her burgundy mini skirt. The blood was clear in her blouse but mergered almost perfectly with her skirt.
" After exposing the guild master at Applease, I thought she would be more trusting."
Shoto said as he walked over to Samantha. He placed his arms around her waist. Samantha was uncomfortable with how sweaty he was, but she endured.
"You should convince her Rowen is dead, it will but her at ease. It will be be good for both of us."
Shoto kissed her on the lips and she kissed him back. Then she stopped it and removed his arms wrapped around her waist.
"No... No.. No.. I can't convince her. Si... She has it on good authority that he is. She won't back down until she is told otherwise."
"By who"
"By whom" Samantha said.
"What?"
"You should have said by whom. I can't say though, let's just call him Whom."
Samantha explained.
"Okay, can you convince whom to tell your mother, Rowen is dead?"
"Why don't you come with me, and convince her nothing is going on."
Samantha placed her hands on his shoulders and interlocked her fingers behind his neck. Shoto reciprocated by wrapping his arms back around her waist.
"I will love to, but I'm force shedding"
Shoto said and Samantha awed, with a whimper. Then she said
"I love your scales"
"No you don't", Shoto said shaking his head
"No I don't", Samantha said in agreement as he shook her head.
They both started laughing. Lawhey had been on the floor the whole time watching them.
"Get a room", Lawhey said.
They both turned and looked at him. They had both forgotten he was still there. Samantha ignored him and kissed Shoto.
"This is goodbye then"
She was going, the she got back and removed her blouse. She signed at Lawhey to take off his shirt and he did. She collected his shirt and put it on. As she threw her blouse at him as she was leaving. Shoto watched her leave and when he turned to look at Lawhey. He was sniffing her blouse.
"What!"
Lawhey said on top of his voice.
