    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    The silence that followed was comfortable for Arbok at least. She held Saskia tight as she dared as they made their way onward round bends and paths she seldom trotted herself, leading out to places she never had need to go before today. As they left the safety of the trees the air about them...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    "If they do then I can go get them at least." Now that she knew where the scarecrow was, she'd be up and down whenever she lost anything. "I'll drag you along, make a day of it. Fresh air, good company!" Her hip bumped Saskia as they walked. "Make the most of it rain or shine!" She looked...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Thinking about it a moment Arbok put her finger to her chin quite naturally. "You know what? Sure. I'd love something made by you!" She gave Saskia's arm a squeeze to emphasis her words. "As long as you have the time. I won't be the cause of more pressure on you. It's already close enough."...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    "It's a good skill to have. I think it was Ser Roebin who told us that if you can mend you'll always have work but if you can make then you'll always have what you need, or something like that. I forget his exact words." Arbok did not do impressions but she held her finger up in the air as if...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    A strong and gentle hand touched Saskia's arm right above the elbow for support and in a show of both unusual tact and smoothness Arbok followed the motion with a hook into Saskia's arm. Though her height meant they were joined wrist to elbow rather than elbow to elbow so she completed the link...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Taking her time to not get too far in front of Saskia, Arbok walked calmly, letting herself enjoy the walk for what it was and give her muscles time for light exercise though she was glad Saskia had begun conversation it had not occured to her that it was strange for her boots to end up on the...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Arbok liked red, it always looked warm to her. "I like it, it suits you." That was something people said when they were being nice, she had no idea what made anything suit anyone outside of whether they looked comfortable or not but it did look comfortable and the hat was important. "Really?"...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Arbok cast a weather eye out of the window and into the sky. It was so much brighter out there then in she could barely make any details out. "Yeah a walk should be okay, just get some water before we go and grab some biscuits or something to eat, if you skip breakfast completely Ser Kerrigan...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Arbok was surprised, the light came in stronger, Saskia sat up and she knew where her boots had gone! She was amazing at this and yet as her jaw hung slack she could not stop her candid response to this information. "Is that where they are?" They were good boots, sturdy and even though she'd...

    Dare Shrouded and Foreboding

    Heavy steps heralded her approach. Arbok was no stranger to provoking odd reactions from others. Her great size alone made her imposing and it was probably that alone that meant she was rarely in earshot of what was said about her but she knew it all the same, she wasn't foolish. And that was...

    Open Betwixt the Stacks

    Frozen fear and shame welled in Arbok, filling every inch of her mighty frame which to her in this moment never felt smaller against the ever increasing numbers of people appearing in the stacks. She eeped out a mousey note that squirmed from the very core of her body and out through the big...

    Open Betwixt the Stacks

    It took Arbok MONTHS to work the courage up to step back between those shelves and she did it nice and early and nobody saw her. Since Alouette caught her she was too ashamed to even speak to her again since. Thankfully she was able to take a proper look now. Not that she'd take that long...

    Private Next In Line

    "Hmm?" Arbok's mind was trailing behind the conversation. Jhima's earrings caught the light just right to glisten and catch her eye. What were they made from to sparkle like that? "Oh, yeah." She broke off the handshake almost reluctantly, the memory of it still held in her palm. "Well..."...

    Private Next In Line

    ~"Not much to choose from. They keep the mean ones somewhere else?"~ Arbok picked up on this, the new woman was looking to buy. "Well, what do you expect?" She jested "The mean ones get taken to the Monastery. They make better warhorses at least that's what Dani says and she knows horses." She...

    Open Catching Up: Astenvale

    Arbok blushed twice, first at being (if ever so mildly chastised) and second at Gruki's glance and word of it being warmer underground. "I only did that the once Gruki and it was only for a week. It wasn't a real hibernation." Her hand fussed over the pan, shaking the contents so that they...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Thanks!" She almost went in for a hug but caught herself, those wings looked fragile and she would hate to hurt Dove. Thankfully the offer of a better place to sleep provided a good distraction. "Yeah, I mean, sounds good." Not sleeping so rough would be good for a bit. Arbok had been...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Oh I'm not a knight, I mean, not yet. I'm only a squire, and really, technically I'm not even that." Her eyes went out to the horizon and memory. "See you need a full Knight to MAKE you a proper squire. I'm really more of a Prospect but I do my best!" A big smile on her big face beamed down...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Yeah, that would be amazing." Nuts crunched in her teeth. "Especially these ones, I could eat these all day." The bag of cashews was beginning to empty in her hand so she stopped. "I shouldn't though." Her voice was self chastising but not seriously so. "I'm big enough already." Smiling wide...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    It was a strange ease she found in Dove's words. Not everyone could speak warm to her when she felt it lost. Words often failed her so she leaned on actions. A bump of the arm with her elbow, gentle, like an animal that gets your attention when it wants something only Arbok only wanted to let...

    Private The Bear and the Dove

    "Wow." A whole valley of winged people. Arbok imagined variations of wing pattern and colour. Some like rooks others like sparrows or thrush. It was a nice image of an easy rural life. Of course it was not, the world was not so good as all that but it looked beautiful in her imagination all the...
