Ancestor almost apology?

-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] sits crosslegged in front of a puddle, cutting strands of his fringe with his knife --
-- nervyMoxie [NM] walks up to him, for once not chirpy and teasing. --
NM: I heard that the Vagab☼nd has been stirrin' s☼me tr☼uble?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] pauses, looks into the puddle for Riskshot's reflection --
RO: we are always stiring up trouble
NM: N☼t the type ☼f tr☼uble that I've been hearin' ab☼ut.
-- nervyMoxie [NM] folds her arms. --
RO: a troll is talking about a sentinel, yes?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] goes back to cutting hair --
NM: S☼ it's true then.
NM: Y☼u messed with that p☼☼r girl.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] chuckles lightly --
RO: a vagabond had a little fun, she took it very seriously
NM: I w☼uldn't call whatcha did "a little fun", Vagab☼nd.
NM: The Sentinel didn't see it as a j☼ke at all, an' I d☼n't either.
-- ragamuffinOutlook's [RO'S] face drops back to a neutral expression --
RO: is a leader going to hand out punishment?
-- nervyMoxie [NM] scowls. --
NM: I'm thinkin' ab☼ut it.
NM: Y☼u d☼n't mess with y☼ur br☼thers ☼r sisters-in-crime, Raggeye. Peri☼d.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] flinches --
RO: a vagabond did not hurt her
NM: When y☼u hurt pe☼ple they d☼n't always bleed!
RO: maybe she was already hurt?
-- nervyMoxie [NM] sighs. --
NM: Then that'd just mean y☼u've hurt her even m☼re.
NM: I need tr☼lls that can f☼cus an' functi☼n here!
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] stands up --
RO: does a troll want an apology for weakening our fighting capacity? a vagabond can give this
NM: I d☼n't want an ap☼l☼gy just f☼r the sake ☼f it. I d☼n't want lipservice.
NM: Are y☼u really s☼rry??
RO: on her behalf? no
RO: for a pilferer?
RO: she clearly looks upset at this
NM: I AM upset if y☼u're runnin' ar☼und, bein' me, and breakin' m☼rale here.
RO: oh
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] holds a finger to his chin --
RO: it is true a vagabond did steal your likeness
RO: although he must admit its a good look
-- nervyMoxie [NM] frowns. --
NM: D☼n't try t☼ flatter me n☼w. It ain't g☼nna w☼rk!
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] pouts --
RO: then what is it you want a vagabond to do then?
NM: I want y☼u t☼ st☼p messin' with the Sentinel, that's what I want.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] closes his eyes, and lets out a breath --
RO: if thats the way it has to be, a vagabond will do this for you
-- nervyMoxie [NM] regrets her sharp tone when she sees his reaction. She wraps her arms around him. --
NM: D☼n't be like that. I just... it's n☼t a g☼☼d idea t☼ play ar☼und with her, alright?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] wriggles out of her grasp, but otherwise doesn't move --
RO: she has not liked this vagabond since he first met arrived here
-- nervyMoxie [NM] puts a hand on his face. --
NM: She just needs time t☼ adjust, that's all. She'll c☼me ar☼und, I'm sure ☼f it.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] smiles half heartedly --
RO: you think a Sentinel will... adjust?
NM: I have high h☼pes.
RO: if only
RO: a vagabond does not like seeing her run around the way she does
NM: Run ar☼und in what way?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] tilts his head, but doesn't answer --
NM: ... what?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] laughs --
-- nervyMoxie [NM] B? --
NM: What's s☼ funny??
RO: nevermind
RO: a vagabond should leave her alone
-- nervyMoxie [NM] is puzzled but... at least she got what she wanted! --
NM: I'm g☼nna make sure y☼u keep t☼ y☼ur w☼rd!
RO: a vagabond does not give his word often
-- nervyMoxie [NM] slyly smiles. --
NM: Well, if he withh☼lds his w☼rd, perhaps I sh☼uld withh☼ld my kisses f☼r him.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] smiles --
RO: you have a good way of holding a vagabond hostage
NM: I've had practice in the art ☼f h☼stage-takin'.
RO: a troll admires your work
NM: Perhaps a tr☼ll w☼uld like t☼ admire said w☼rk up-cl☼se.
RO: a vagabond would rather not be taken prisoner again
NM: N☼t even t☼ a p☼☼r pilferer such as I?
RO: not even by a lovely risky shooter
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] collects his knife and walks a few paces away and lazily swings around a tree. His face pops out from the other side --
RO: if she wants him shell have to catch him
-- nervyMoxie [NM] laughs. --
NM: I am an expert at gettin' the things I want.
NM: I can pr☼☼☼☼bably catch y☼u with☼ut much pr☼blem~
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] raises an eyebrow --
RO: far easier than a vagabond would like to admit indeed
-- nervyMoxie [NM] chases after him, darting about the tree. --
NM: D☼es the Vagab☼nd admit that he has been captured by my devi☼us wiles~?
RO: not at all
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] laughs, and eludes her to jump onto a rock --
RO: a pilferer has many other great qualities too
NM: ☼h, d☼ list them f☼r me.
-- nervyMoxie [NM] climbs after him. --
RO: daring
RO: independant
RO: wild
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] jumps off the rock --
RO: beautifull goes without saying naturally
RO: although you can be a little soft at times
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] runs over open ground, going just a little slower than usual --
NM: S☼ft? Is that a c☼mment ab☼ut my luxuri☼us habits, dear Vagab☼nd?
-- nervyMoxie [NM] soon catches up to him, running beside him. --
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] looks to his side --
RO: maybe a troll refers to other part of you?
RO: ((*parts))
NM: An' which part w☼uld that be?
RO: well...
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] tries to grab her. While they're both running? Is this a good idea? --
-- nervyMoxie [NM] goes tumbling down. Nope this was not a good idea at all. --
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] doesn't let go so gets pulled down with her and they both go rolling in the grass --
-- nervyMoxie [NM] tumbles down with him, laughing all the way! --
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] laughs along with her. They come to a stop with the vagabond on top looking down at her --
RO: perhaps it is a vagabond that has caught a pilferer?
-- nervyMoxie [NM] grins. --
NM: It w☼uld be shameful f☼r my reputati☼n t☼ admit s☼!
RO: we could always keep it a secret
NM: A danger☼us secret t☼ keep, that w☼uld be.
RO: scandalous if it got out
-- nervyMoxie [NM] tilts her head up. --
NM: We best keep it between ☼urselves, then, Vagab☼nd. Least I sh☼uld be cast ☼ut in shame!
RO: a vagabond would be quite happy with that, just the two of us
NM: As w☼uld a pilferer.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] leands down, and kisses her on the nose --
RO: a troll supposes that would have to be kept a secret too?
-- nervyMoxie [NM] kisses him back on the cheek. --
NM: N☼w we have three secrets t☼ keep. My, this is gettin' danger☼us, w☼uldn't y☼u say?
RO: risky even
NM: We best tread carefully, then.
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] sighs --
RO: if only you were of lower blood a vagabond could disguise himself for you
RO: he could appear as any troll you wished
-- nervyMoxie [NM] strokes his head. --
NM: Y☼u already are the tr☼ll I wish.
RO: then a vagabond is pleased
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] smiles warmly, then lowers himself down to tuck in next to her, rather than hovering above her --
-- nervyMoxie [NM] lets him, wrapping her arms around his waist, with a huge smile. --
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] relaxes completly and looks upwards at the clouds --
RO: how long to we have, do you think, to just stay like this?
NM: F☼rever s☼und ☼kay?
-- ragamuffinOutlook [RO] doesn't say anything to that. --
