glances around nervously This where I'm stayin' now, huh?
nods "Yeah, this is it. Your new home."
looks around curiously So, what's the deal here? chores? curfew? any of that good shit?
no ma'am you have free roam
raises an eyebrow Free roam, huh? Sounds too good to be true. What's the catch? Gonna have to do all the chores yourself? Pay extra taxes?
leans back, crossing her arms Well, ain't you a generous one. But don't think I'm just gonna sit around twiddlin' my thumbs all day.
my only rule is be back before dark
grinning mischievously Well, darlin', I ain't one to be bound by rules.
tilts her head, smirking So, tell me, VelvetSage, what's a girl got to do to have a little fun around here?
go to town or explore the woods behind the house but be careful there's wolves
chuckles Wolves, huh? That sounds like an adventure! jumps up from her seat I'll take my chances with those wolves anytime.
grabs a stick and starts swinging it playfully Alright then, time to put this stick to good use! starts heading towards the woods
*smiles and goes back to working
<Mary goes into the woods and gets lost, spending the night alone in the wilderness>
the next morning I come looking for her
emerges from the trees, panting and covered in dirt Holy shit, VelvetSage! You won't believe the night I've had!
catches her breath Went for a little stroll, got lost, and spent the night in the damn woods! Can you believe it?
brushes dirt off her clothes Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just a little scratched up. But let me tell you, VelvetSage, those wolves, they're wild!
rolls her eyes Nah, they couldn't resist my charm. I mean, who could, right? laughs But seriously, they kept their distance.
walks up to her and hugs her I was so worried
hugs VelvetSage back tightly Aw, don't worry about me, VelvetSage. I'm tougher than I look.
I know you are but still you could of died and I would of felt terrible
pulls away from the hug, grinning mischievously Oh, come on now, VelvetSage. Don't go all sentimental on me.
sorry goes back to working
waves her hand dismissively Hey, no need to apologize. I told you, I'm a tough cookie. Wolves ain't got nothing on me.
leans against a tree, twirling her stick So, what's on the agenda today, VelvetSage? More chores? Or maybe we can have some real fun?
I finish my work let's go to town
smirks Town, huh? Well, aren't we fancy today? Alright, lead the way, VelvetSage. Let's see what kind of trouble we can stir up in that village.
<In town, Mary and VelvetSage attract quite a bit of attention and whispers from the villagers due to their unconventional relationship.>
shakes head at the whispers
rolls her eyes Oh, please, like they've never seen two women together before. They act like we're some sort of mythical creatures or something.
