Snippet #2359576

Reagan listened as he spoke of what he did and a little bit about himself. All she thought were nice qualities. She didn't want to question his relationship with the king and people here seemed quite sensitive about it so she kept silent about that but all the same wondered what it would be like to work in such close condfidance with the king. Surely it must be exciting. When he told her that he played the flute she broke into a grin just as she slipped the second skin off the animal. That was cute, she told herself. A guy like him playing the flute.

After a moment he told her he would be back in a bit and she waved farewell to him. When he was gone Benny moved back inside of her hut and he sat down and looked at her. She glanced up at him as she set the skin next to the other one she had done previously. "he seems nice." she spoke to Benny like she would any person. Benny offered her a grunt in response and she nodded like she understood him.

She worked all the while he was gone, skinning the next few rabbits and setting the meat aside for him. The bloody bags were leaning against the wall and Benjamin looked at them hungrilly. She sighed softly and threw him a spare rabbit she had skinned already and he took it outside to eat. She was cleaning the furs when Blake stepped back in "hello Blake." she looked up at him and smiled and then returned to her work. "I've got the rabbit meat ready for you." she pointed with her foot as to where it was and she watched out of the corner of her eye as he leaned against the wall and asked her what she was going to wear to the ball.

At that the question she stopped what she was doing and straightened up to think. "I have a dress that I normally wear but Benjamin bit it last time and now it has a lovely hole in it." she didn't bother to mention where as she didn't think it appropriate to tell him that there might be two full moons the night of the ball. Instead she sighed and said "I shall have to buy a new one. Maybe a nice green one." she smiled at the thought of a nice dress and looked at him "I suppose you shall be all fancy as well. I think you would look good dressed up Blake." she told him. "Almost as good a Benny." she joked. She returned to her work and began to brush the mat's out of the fur.
