Melissa watched in happiness and anticipation as the ex-Templar elf looked and examined the bow his eyes getting wider and wider, it was amusing, and for some reason she liked seeing him happy.. Weird... Anyways, after a while the elf looked up and said something about how he didn't want to know where it came from, So, She didn't tell him.. Nope, instead she told a bold face lie. "Well, I went to the mage camp, and there was a Dalish elf there, He offered one for me at the price of conjuring him up some ice and fire for his thirst and hunger"
Thank good Melissa was good with lying, because soon after the elf just nodded it off like he accepted it, or maybe he just didn't really want to find out. Either way, it kept her head out of the noose for now. Dazed for a moment in her own thought, she was quickly jolted back to reality when the man said something about her worrying about herself. Sheesh was he kidding? The first thing Melissa did was watch out for herself, and that wasn't just in this situation, No, she usually was like that, had been since she ran from the circle, Mages tended to be forced into that kind of life..
Melissa reached to her back and unholstered her beautiful and eloquent dragon shaped staff and flaunted it off to the other like a new toy, only to get a small smirk and a bit of attitude, most likely because Volke had now realized that Melissa was even more dangerous in combat now that she had a staff to channel the fade through.
Soon after she flaunted and showed off her new 'toy' Volke yet again made a remark about how he didn't want to know she simply smiled and responded with a small cock and happy tone. "Look, you are not the only useful one in the cave Mr. Volke, While you were gone after leaving me in the silence nonetheless I took a visit to the mage camp and brought back some supplies, That including a bed for you some blankets, and a few bottles of lyrium!"
Melissa was going to keep on drabbling and making rude remarks but she was stunned and shocked silent when the man looked at her with a sincere smile and thanked her for the gift. Thank god it was somewhat dark in the cave because Melissa's face grew more red than a bottle of Poultice potion... "Y-your W-Welcome, I just wanted to H-help you S-start your road to a R-ranger.."
She looked down, Sheesh what was up with her? Is not like the elf gave a care about her, It's not like he would go out of the way to get her something, at least that she tried convincing herself. Quickly, passing off that Volke had risked his neck to get her food as a way to silence her annoying stomach growls..
Meliisa's childish school girl emotions quickly turned to an irritated rage as the many told her that he would pay her back. Did this fool even know what a gift was? "Listen here Pointy ears" The women said as she reached over and tugged the closet ear she could find. "I said it was a gift not a loan, If you try to pay me back, I will shove that bow where the sun doesn't shine you got me? Sheesh."
Volke seemed to spout of something in confusion and shock rubbing his ear as he finished preparing the rabbits that she assumed he had went out and caught for them, Soon he handed her one on a stick. The aroma of the rabbit drifting to her nose and making her mouth drool, she still hadn't had food yet and that rabbit looked so delicious.. At first Melissa tried to act lady like taking small nibbles at her prey, before the elf looked at her with a scowl like face and spouted off something about how he knew she was hungry and she needed to stop acting.
Hell, He didn't need to tell her twice. She quickly sunk her fangs into the food ripping it quickly off the bone and devouring each bite in a single gulp. Ignoring the weird glances she was getting from the other for the way she was viciously tearing apart her meal.
She looked to the other and smiled..
"So, Can I ask you something Volke, Do you have any parents out their waiting for you to come home?" After only a second of asking she knew she probably shouldn't have, as the silence only seemed to get worse in the cave, Maybe she had stepped over her boundaries by asking who knows.. But she didn't want to cause anymore fights..
So She quickly finished her meal wiping her hands on the side of the burlap sack and conjuring up a small amount of water to wash down her hands with. She dried her hands by the fire and before too long she reached into the burlap sack and proceeded to pull out one soft blankets that she had obtained earlier in the night, curling up onto the bed roll that had been there since, she had last visited for the prisoners of the cave. "Good night Volke, See you in the morning"
She paused for a moment flipping around to look at the other. "I will see you in the morning right?" The women paused in shock realizing what she had just said. Why should she care? No, She knew, she knew very well that even though they had just met she considered the man a friend, though her life was threatened several times by the man, she knew if she awoke the next morning without him there she would be heart broken.. She stared at him in silence waiting and hoping for an answer.
