As we walk over to Burmington, we stumble upon a shirt tangling in the tree that is black. I think that was the shirt that was stolen from me by a black bird...Still odd as to why I stole it.
We all walk in an arrow formation with me leading the way.
As we arrive to Burmington eyes dart towards us like we stick out like a rain in a desert.
I am not sure as to why though. Maybe it is because we are a Elf, Orc and Caiman trio. Odd couple I must say.
We walk over back to the place on fire previously on fire. Maybe I can get my armor repaired before we venture into the wilderness.
I head over to the window and it has lights on inside. I enter the building with Lara and Arla walking as well. Repair shop looks like it is in somewhat good condition for a fire commencing not long ago.
I look around and hear some noises in the back. She walks out with grime on her hands and she wipes it off with a towel. I stand at the front desk waiting for her to greet me but she jsut walks past me.
Um did she not see me or?
She walks past me and stops for a brief moment and turns around and eyes wide notices me. Her eyes are Crimson red. Quite beautiful
*Lara POV*
What is he staring at-
I notice her breasts are slightly larger than mine and compare them to my own. Hmph! Pervert...
*Coda POV*
I can't but get mesmerized by her natural eye color and for some reason, it has hypnotized me. I need to focus on my task but why these eyes?
I straighten my back up and adjust my armor and say a couple of things before I make a fool of myself.
"H-hey, my name is Coda. I'm the one who saved you not too long ago?"
"hmmm, oh yeah! Thank you so much for what you did for me. I accidentally hit my head and went unconscious I think. Then dropped a bit of flaming coal on the carpet. I assume you're the one who put the fire out?"
"Yeap that was me" I say padding myself on the back"
"Well thank you again for helping my business when it might've gone down in flames" she says while bowing forward with her arms on her side.
"No worries, anyways. I was hoping you might be able to help me with something. I have this damaged piece of armor and was hoping you could be able to repair it. I waited yesterday but obviously, you were occupied."
"Hmm, let me take a look at it."
"sure thing"
I take off my armor and hand it over to the front desk for her and she heaves it over with an impressive amount of strength.
She hauls it over the desk and places it on a separate table and examines my armor. I turn around and check on both Arla and Lara are exploring the wares of the place. Lara seems on keen looking at a broad sword.
While Arla is looking at some strange-looking dresses. Guess she likes some dresses.
The woman finishes up looking at my armor and returns to me looking at me with a smile on her face. She places her hands on the desk and says a few things.
"I can repair it for about 200 silver coins. Seem like a deal? I gave you a discount for saving my business and me from the fire."
"Thank you, here you go, ma'am." I hand her over about 200 silver coins
"thank you for your purchase. It will take me about 2 hours to get this finished up. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, do what you have to do ma'am."
"Please call me Cherry, Cherry Mistel"
"Nice to meet you. My name is well as you already know Coda. This is Arla over there by the dresses, and that is Lara my closest friend by those swords"
*lara POV*
Closest friend?! Really! I mean not that I care...He is a good friend ahem.
*Coda POV*
"Anyways, I am glad you could help!"
"With pleasure," she says while walking into the back with my armor.
*hours later*
I might buy some weapons here sometime...
"Alright here you go brand new!"
I turn around as well as Lara who is sitting and Arla who was sleeping on the bench.
I pick up my armor and start equipping it. I buckle up the pieces needed and finish it and it fits pretty well. Plus I don't see the opening where I got stabbed in is now. Perfect!
"Thank you so much for fixing my armor"
"no problem glad to have helped!"
We head out of the shop and being our actual journey to the wilderness to hunt don some monsters and wildlife to make the town safer and earn some money!
We stumble upon some wolves and strategize a method in taking them out. roughly about 4 of them. Wish I had a bow so I could Skyrim this shit.
I pull out my sword as well as Arla and Lara drawing there's. She moves in over to the right side of the clearing and Lara on the left while I stay at the center. I think we will all take out one specific wolf and leave the fourth one for whoever can get it.
I charge in with my sword, one of the wolves notices me and stances infront of me but freezes. Maybe in fear.
I cut it down with my sword through the neck and it falls down. Lara and Arla both charge in as well. Lara draws her sword and in a single movement somewhere cuts down the wolf causing it to spasm and die on the spot.
Arla come in with her sword and thrusts it into to head of the wolf and it freezes in place. She then quickly pulls out and blood pours out of the skull of the world as it dies slowly.
I attempt to kill the fourth one but it jumps on me and attempts to bite my neck but I grab its jaws with my hands. It is strong, but not strong enough.
I start twisting its jaw like Kingkond did in that movie against the dinosaur and snap it jaw in half causing it to spasm and fall limp on me.
I push it off of me and get myself up wiping what blood I could off of me.
"Are you alright?" asked Arla
"I am sure he is fine he is strong enough to handle himself hmph" Said Lara.
Geez she has turned into a full on tsundere. Might as well take advantage of what I have seen in manga and anime.
"Aw your cute when you mad at me for some reason" I saw smug
"C-cute?! I mean I am. I mean not like you'd notice. I mean you just noticed but-wait...when I am mad? I ain't mad I jsut uhm..."
She is flushed with red cheeks on her green skin she places her hands on her face and turns around from me facing away.
Arla walks up to Lara and leans in and whispers soemthing I can't hear and that causes her(Lara) to jump up in frustration but in a cute way.
However as they are talking I hear something and I turn around. I don't see anything but I know it is there. Suddenly...
A wolf bigger than the others runs out running at Lara and Arla who aren't looking from the wolf. They are not paying attention!
"Shit Lara Look out"
She looks behind herself but she can't draw her sword out yet and it is to late. I do my part and tackle the wolf over before it could reach Lara and wrestle with it.
This wolf is stronger than the others! As it is on top of me it bites me on the arm exposed arm which has no armor.
Agh! That hurts! But not as much as what I am about to do to you! I take my other arm and pull out a knife I have stowed away for emergencies and start stabbing away at the wolf and it starts loosening its bite on me. But suddenly the bite hurts more and tightens on me even more.
I scream out in pain and continue stabbing away and eventually the wold dies from bloodless and good limp on me panting.
I throw the wolf off of me and clutch me arm that was bitten and notice I am bleeding. Agh! It is pretty bad. I got to see attention on this soon.
I get myself up and Lara runs up to me wold me up a bit bending down a bit.
"Wh-why would you do that you idiot I had it handled!" she says clearing upset with me injured.
"Its fine Lara I am okay. Dont need to worry about me"
"But-"
"Lara its okay. I have bandages on me for this occasion. I bought some while we were at the shop while my armor was being repaired.
"Won't that leave a scar on you?" Arla jumps in.
"I'm sure it will but it is not a big deal right? But god does hurt like a bitch!"
Arla giggles a bit from that which is rare for her to do. While Lara frowns a bit from that.
Start rubbing my wound and begging searching through my bag for bandages I pact up. Which I find eventually. Luckily.
*Minutes later*
There! Good as well....not new...Who am I kidding I am not a medic or whatever but this works fine.
Start working on my own on a map marking down where we have been so far. we have searched most of the east portion of the town not making our way a bit north now.
As we make our way there we stumble upon a few smaller animals like a larger rat creatures and big some smaller wolves.
My arm is starting to hurt while swinging my sword now. I might need to get medical attention. Not good since we are already in the middle of the mission we are in.
