Arabella started blushing even deeper when he told her he meant pretty. "I...I think I'm alright..." she said quietly not sure on what to say. The last man that called her pretty (and meant it the way Chris did) broke her heart. She shouldn't be flattered, he'll be the same way if they even got that close. Which she didn't think was very possible. "My father says the same thing though, me being cute when I'm angry. I hate when he tells me that."

Chris chuckled "but he's telling the truth" he said with a shrug as he smiled at her. "So no guy has ever liked you at all? Not even once?" he asked her, curious to see what she was going to say. Chris himself, even with his goods looks, he's never really been in love with anyone. Most people didn't like him or liked him only for his looks and his large fortune, nothing else. Which was pretty sad since he definitely didn't want to die a old and lonely man.

Arabella looked down at the bed sheets and then back up at Chris. "Well, yes there has been one person who has liked me. At least, I thought he did. I loved him, but he didn't feel the same way." She didn't continue. If he was intrested enough he would ask, although she didn't think he would. Chris could not be intrested in Arabella. She shouldn't dare entertain the thought.

Chris frowned a little, feeling bad for her. He may seem like a bad person, but he was actually a good person, most of the time. "really? why didn't he like you?" he asked her, curious to find out the answer. He knew it might be a long story, so he got comfortable and watched her, waiting for her to go on.

Arabella's face drained of color which was once full of it with a red blush. She stood up from where she was sitting. "I'd rather not talk about it." Her eyes were clouded with thought for a few moments before she changed the subject and looked a bit happier, "Did you need anything? Food? Water?" She ran a hand through her hair, organizing it a little better than how it was. The subject about her her past love was a painful one, she hasn't even told her father about what really happened. As far as he knew, her old love moved away and they decided to split. Thay was not the case, but she hasn't breathed a word about it to anyone.

"Is this to much for you"? Robin yelled over the loud music. He was willing to leave if she felt uncomfortable here.

hey! :3)
Chris watched her get up from the bed and her whole entire attitude changed, he guessed he had gone too far. It must have been something pretty bad. He sat up in the bed and shook his "head nah, i'm good" he said, but his stomach didn't agree with him and growled in hunger. He looked down at his stomach and then back at Arabella and gave her a embarrassed smile, which is really rare to see him embarrassed. "I guess some food would be good" he said with a chuckle.
Courtney shifted uncomfortably but she shook her head "no, it good" she said raising her voice over the music. She wanted to show him that she wasn't just some princess. She looked around, but the way she was dressed made it obvious.

Arabella went to the door of her room quickly, trying to avoid talk. She really didn't expect him to ask about what happened, and figured she would be much better off if he didn't ask. Now she almost felt embarrassed around him. Arabella shouldn't though, she made a mistake by loving the other man and she suffered the consequences. Another lesson that you could not lean on anyone or anything except faith. When would she learn? Arabella let out a small sigh when she was out in the hall way. She made her way down to the ground floor and went to the kitchen. It was a modest kitchen, nothing very fancy or tailored to fit a noble's taste but it was plenty in her opinion. She didn't realize it until she took off the lid of the pot, but her father seemed to already be making soup. It appeared to be done, and the fire beneath it was dying so it must be done by now. She got a bowl out from a shelf and a ladle. Arabella put the soup inside the bowl and set it on a tray along with a biscuit and water from the well. It should be a good meal if you were bed ridden. Arabella went back up the stairs and into her bedroom again. She set the tray down beside Chris, "Here you go. I hope it tastes okay." She gave him a small smile.
{Hey!}

(hey gum! if I can call u that ^^' how are u? :3)
Right when she left the room Chris had a strong urge to get up and look around her room, just to see what was in it, not to really steal anything. But due to his foot in pain when ever he moved it, he didn't get up from where he was. He turned his attention back on the door as Arabella walked in holding a tray. He gave her a friendly smile "thanks" he said as she set the tray beside him. He grabbed a spoon and tried the soup. His eyes widened slightly and he smiled again at Arabella "it's really good!" he said as he started to eat more of the soup. He usually had to steal bread or fruit for his meals every day, sometimes he didn't even eat. It's been years since he had a actual meal, and even longer for a homemade meal.

Arabella sat down slowly where she was sitting at the foot of her bed as to not knock over the soup of other contents of the tray. "Don't thank me. My dad was making it. It looks like chicken and ale, his personal favorite." She smiled and rolled her eyes. That was typical of her father to incorporate a little alcohol in things. He enjoyed drinking but was quite responsible about how much he drank. Plus, over the years, he had grown more accustomed to it and can drink larger amounts. Not that Arabella agreed with it. She did drink every once in a great while, but that was usually when her father offered her some.
{Yeah you can call me Gum, and I'm good. Just procrastinating homework}

(hello!)
"Oh, uhm-" She hesitated in an awkward fluster of words, the breeze swaying her cornrows. It was true, Freya did feel much more exposed in her human form. The hearth of the pack had a closeness and warmth away from the chilling temperatures of the island. She usually wore very loose linen garments too. They felt great moving through sunlight or a windy day but didn't offer much when it came to staying warm. "-yeah, thank you." She continued, accepting the jacket graciously from his hand and slipping it onto her shoulders. It was heavier than expected but within a few moments the nipping air wasn't as prevalent as before. "This is nice, thanks. You aren't cold though?" She asked respectfully as they walked.

Chris chuckled "well i'll have to thank him later" he said. After a couple of minutes he was finished with his soup and was now eating his biscuit. He probably should be eating his food more slowly and Arabella might think he's a glutton, but what can you do when you haven't had a proper meal in a while? After finishing his biscuit he drank some of his water to wash it down. He looked over at Arabella "sorry I was a little hungry" he said with a small laugh. "So earlier, you told me a little about yourself, anything you wanna know about me?" he asked her, remembering their deal.

Arabella chuckled when he wolfed down his food. He must have been hungry. Or a glutton. "Well actually, there are a few things I'd like to know about you. For one thing, when did you first become a thief?" She leaned back against the board to the bed, but nearly fell back by her rear into the space inbetween the mattress and the board. She caught herself thankfully and scooted away from it a little. "Could you pass a pillow?" Arabella figured she could stuff it inbetween the gap.

He remembered Freya was also a hunter "so, any luck hunting today?" he asked her. He had been hunting near the coast away from where the other hunters were hunting.

Chris tried not to laugh as he watched her almost fall into the gap between the board and mattress. He nodded and handed her a pillow "sure, but you could always move over here" he said patting a spot near him "i won't bite" he said with a charming smile. He thought for a second about the question she has asked him "hmmm, when I became a thief.... I think I was eleven or twelve when I had to start stealing to survive, that's when people started to know my name and would call the Armada on me" he said. Remembering the first time he had to steal. "It was really hard for me at first, I kept on apologizing and some times even gave it back, but then I got use to it after the years" he said.

She was of course a clutz. That was Arabella's job when she wasn't watching farm animals. She turned a little pink again for what felt like the fifth time today, and decided if it would just be best to move over next to Chris. She scooted over next to him, but left a reasonable gap between them. Arabella took the pillow he gave her and crossed her arms over it, holding it against her chest. "Stealing isn't exactly something you should get used to. Now I hope you see the consequences."

Chris nodded with a big sigh "yeah, but there's nothing else you can do if that's what has to be done to survive" he said with a shrug. "for me it's either steal to survive or die... so anything else you wanna ask me?" he asked her. It seemed all she cared about was why he was stealing, he knew it was wrong, but that was the only thing she kept on bringing up.

Chris sounded like he was tired of Arabella asking questions about him stealing. Although, she couldn't help it. It wasn't every day that you assisted a criminal and housed them for two weeks. One could call it, curiosity. "Have you ever been in a relationship before? Romantically I mean." Arabella didn't know why she was asking the question, it just sort of...came out of her mouth.

Chris blinked a few times in surprise of her question. He shook his head "surprisingly, no" he said "most people either don't like me because of my title, or they only like me because of my good looks" he said. He smirked at her "why do you ask?" he asked, messing around with her.

Arabella was personally shocked to hear that he had never been in a relationship before. Not even once with someone who truly did like him. It seemed a bit cocky though when Chris mentioned his 'good looks'. It wasn't like he was lying, but it seemed to be a bit prideful in her opinion. "Shut up. I didn't mean it like that!" She knew what he was thinking, thay she wanted to maybe get in a relationship with him, "If you weren't bed ridden I would hit you with this pillow."

Chris chuckled "hey, you haven't even thought about being in a relationship with me?" he asked her, half messing with her and half curious to see what she'd say. "I mean I wouldn't mind being in a relationship with you, if you'd stop threatening to hit me with stuff that is" he said grinning.

Arabella gave a sarcastic kind of laugh, "Yeah okay, we just met." She told him with both a genuine smile and smirk. The thought didn't even cross her mind that it could have been offensive. Chris must have known that already and was just teasing. Well Arabella had enough sense to keep her from falling for the first guy who compliments her.

Chris already knew the answer and wasn't offended at all. "okay, okay" he said laughing. He was glad that they were starting to get along now, he wouldn't like it if he had to stay here for two weeks and they both didn't get along, especially since she was the one taking care of him. "Any more questions?" he asked her. He was enjoying just talking to her.

(hus or hussar is fine I don't mind! x3 and i'm good! studying for some final exams so that's why this was reply was super poofy haha)
Freya gave a small shrug, placing her hands into her pockets again. "Not much, actually." She replied. "A lot of nice little rabbits though. Make for great snacks." She said with a chuckle, rubbing the back of her head. Hares and other small forest animals always were her favorite, finding them to be very pleasant and gamey. "What about you? I didn't see you around much today." Freya had been hunting a few other of the pack but they had been unsuccessful in their attempts to bring back any large kill earlier in the day.

Arabella thought for a moment before responding, "hmm...well, what do you think is the nicest thing anyone has done for you?" She asked, tilting her head again. It was one of her many little habits like biting her lip, pacing, and more. She was never really concerned if anyone found them annoying. Besides, she never really talked to anyone anyway.

hey! and also! I might not be on tomorrow cuz I have to volunteer somewhere for a x-mas event, but i'll try to be on! :3)
Tyler nodded, agreeing that little rabbits are pretty good snacks. He shrugged "I was hunting around the coast, I know there's not that many prey that go down there, but a little kid had never tasted fish before. So I was trying to catch him one." he said. Not many wolves hunted in the water, it was unusual and some people called him weird, but he didn't care the sea was just so interesting to him.
Chris thought for a second before answering. "hmmm... that would've been when I was little, one of Lady Pepper's men had a ship of his own and was looking for recruits, I loved pirates back then, still do, sometimes. But he took me in as one of his own, my parents didn't care much about me or my sibling, so the captain and the crew were my family..." He paused "but something bad happened, a set up that Ms. Pepper herself had made, and they all died.." he said, remembering his past and how he became what he is now. Smiling he looked over at her "but you helping me comes in second place" he said with a chuckle.
Courtney was a little surprised as he took her hand and led her to the dance floor and he started to dance. "huh, wait.." she blushed looking embarrassed "I-I don't know how to dance.." she said shyly.

Arabella listened to Chris intently. This woman, whoever she was, should be taught a lesson. She shouldn't be named Lady Pepper either, more like Lady Salt because she must be frustrated with something to have that much blood on her hands. "If I ever find her, I can promise she won't be in one place when I leave." Arabella chuckled. But she smiled when Chris told her about this act, "I was only doing the right thing. I guess you haven't run into too many people who do that."
