- Kerem and Tez walk briskly through the darkening night, heading for Goat Row.
- Tez glances back over her shoulder where the party is fading off into the distance. "So you like the girl, right?"
- Kerem: "I..."
- Kerem: "I mean, we just met this morning."
- Kerem: "She helped me get situated around here, showed me the place."
- Kerem: "She seems nice."
- Tez cocks her head, giving him a funny smile. "You seemed attached. That guy she was dancing with wasn't so cute though." she looks out over the city in front of them. "She didn't even show you where Goat's Row is."
- Kerem: "I mean..."
- Kerem: "I've never really met anybody like her before, is all."
- Kerem: "Here, I think this is it."
- Tez looks up and smirks. "They do make it obvious don't they."
- Kerem: "Yeah, you're not kidding."
- Kerem lightly touches Tez's arm as they turn down the street.
- Tez pauses and looks at him curiously, though slightly unfocused.
- Kerem: "I dunno. I guess I thought she, you know. Thought there was something about me."
- Kerem: "But I guess I'm just another kid from out of town, like that *dancer*."
- Tez: "Isn't there something about you?"
- Kerem: "Sorry. I don't mean to babble on like this."
- Kerem: "Well, I mean."
- Kerem: "What do you mean?"
- Tez looks at him thoughtfully then smiles again. "I think there is." she says vaguely. "Something."
- Kerem raises an eyebrow. "Well, thanks. I hope."
- Tez looks away, scanning the street. "Two rooms? ..or one?"
- Kerem pauses.
- Kerem: "...well."
- Kerem: "One would be half the price."
- Tez: "..yeah."
- Tez: "We should do that. Save money."
- Kerem: "...okay. What do you think about this place?" Kerem swallows, brushing back his hair a little nervously.
- Tez 's fingers find her necklace and she touches it absently. "They... all look the same to me. Goats."
- Kerem: "Yeah. I think it'll be all right." Kerem touches her arm again, this time holding it just a little, and leads her into the inn.
- Kerem stammers a bit as he arranges a room, but manages to get through things all right. covering the price himself. The innkeeper gives him a smirk, but lets him be.
- Tez seems to have no objection to being led by him, looking around and biting her lip. She doesn't notice as she draws a drop of blood. "You're going to come with me later right?"
- Kerem: "Yeah, I told you. It's my line of work. And you can help me out later if I..." Kerem looks up, "need anything. Are you all right? You're bleeding."'
- Kerem slowly brings a finger up, to brush the blood away...
- Tez "Bleeding? Oh..." she smiles. "Thank you."
- Kerem: "...shall we? Our room's on the second floor."
- Tez: "I miss my room." She says, trailing after him.
- Kerem: "Your room?"
- Kerem absently wipes the drop of blood on his shirt-tail.
- Tez: "It was grand. The floors were marble, the rugs were soft and warm, the curtains velvet. I had my own bath." she gazes at the room in front of them.
- Kerem: "Really? Geez, I didn't realize you were rich."
- Tez: "I was. Twice."
- Tez flings herself down on the bed, grimacing at the sheer non-bounciness of it. "I will be again."
- Kerem: "Must've been nice."
- Kerem closes the door behind him, and carefully sits on the bed, knocking absently on it with a fist to see just how bad it is.
- Kerem: "What were you doing running around with street rats if you had a home like that to go back to?"
- Tez: "It was," she muses. "People are nice to you. Except the ones that try to kill or kidnap you."
- Kerem: "Oh, yeah. I used to have that problem too. Less of the kidnapping, more of the kneecapping, but basically I bet it's the same deal."
- Tez rolls over, staring at the ceiling. "I do not belong here. The only one here that I know kidnapped me and stole me away from my nice room."
- Kerem: "I, uh..."
- Kerem looks over and rapidly decides not to pursue this line of conversation.
- Kerem edges closer, and leans down to kiss her...
- Tez 's gaze falls on him. "Do you belong here? I like street rats. I lived with the..." she blinks and blushes as she is kissed.
- Kerem lifts up for a moment, changing positions. "I don't know where I belong. The only place I called home got hit with a meteor the other day."
- Tez: "Oh." she reaches up tentatively and touches his lips gently, "I am sorry, it wasn't me." her fingers slip to his cheek, then his hair before falling back down to land on her chest. She fingers the chain there, though what it holds is yet unknown.
- Kerem: "Well, yeah, I...assumed not." Kerem lowers his lips to hers again, putting one hand behind her head, and running it down her neck. He lifts away again, picking up the chain lightly to see what's attached to it.
- Tez kisses back, looking a little lost as he pulls away again. "People say I do things that I don't." she looks down at his hand. "My lucky coin." And it is just that, an Ardanian coin, the chain running through a hole in the center. It looks as though it would be valuable but it's hard to tell as it is so worn from her constant touch. She slides her fingers down to touch it again as it lies in his palm.
- Kerem: "Huh. I've got one of those too." He reaches into his pocket and with a pretty flourish of the fingers produces an ancient coin, one side of which has a worn emblem of a wolf on it.
- Tez 's eyes light, and she reaches for the coin. "Is yours lucky too? It's different from mine."
- Kerem releases it into her fingers. "Most of the time it's lucky. It's actually kind of a long story."
- Kerem: "I'll tell you about it...later."
- Kerem picks the coin out of her hand and places it on the nightstand, then carefully reaches to lift the necklace over her head. "Do you mind? It...might get in the way."
- Tez rubs her fingers over the coin in an oddly reverant manner, then smiles. "Later is good. Will you kiss me again?"
- Kerem: "...yes."
- Kerem does so.
- Tez catches the necklace in her fingers as he attempts to lift it off, keeping it there with a slightly wary look that is soon lost to the night.
