(Fs/Ms, Ms/Fs) Sentinals: Dates (part 2 posted)
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2018 4:30 pm
Part 1: In this part we learn that Jade has incredible self control, and that Holly isn't afraid to let herself go.
It had been a couple weeks since The Sentinels had arrived in Hemmsworth. They were able to get good prices for the loot they had found from before. Right now though, they were doing what most mercenaries would do when establishing a base of operation: Obtaining contacts.
“You seem to hear a lot of rumors, Sir,” Theon said to one of the local Bar Tenders. He was an average man with a well trimmed beard, and quite a bit of color on his apron.
“They come and go, as my customers do,” He stated. “Most of them are superstitious nonsense though,” He then added. Theon then flipped him a gold coin.
“You hear anything that sounds like it's worth our time, give us a holler,” Theon requested.
“Will do,” The Bar keep said, sounding quite happy with the tip he had just received.
Theon left the Twin Kegs, and walked out into the street again. It was bustling with activity as usual. People were rushing about the chores, shopping, or whatever it was they needed to be doing. He soon spotted Jade exiting Hemmsworth Inn.
“Anything useful?” Theon asked him.
“He says he tends to hear quite a bit, and he also pointed us back into the direction of the notice board in City Hall,” Jade told him.
“We already know about that,” Theon stated.
“Yeah, I know,” Jade responded.
That was pretty much how the morning went. Looking for any hot spots for rumors, and other sources of information about someone needing mercenaries. Even the Royal Family could be a great source too. As of right now though, most types of jobs that require their type of talents have been in short supply as of late.
“I'll go see if any new notices have been posted,” Theon stated.
“And I'll go see Holly, and maybe her scrying can find something,” Jade then added. Theon smirked at him.
“Are you sure it's not just because you've become quite smitten with her?” He asked, with a sly look. He was right, ever since that day, Jade felt genuine attraction to her. It wasn't just because she was beautiful, and exotic, though that certainly helped. It was also due to the fact that she just seemed happy most of the time. In spite the prejudice she usually received from some of the humans here.
“Oh, that's a part of it,” Jade admitted, with a grin to his colleague. Theon continued to smirk.
“Just don't let it distract you too much,” He told Jade.
“I won't,” Jade insisted, and then headed for the Castle.
Jade was allowed entry per the Royal Families decree. He made his way across the courtyard, and up the western tower. He passed by the quarters where he and his team were staying for now, and continued up the stairs to a closed wooden door. Jade knocked on it.
“Who is it?” Holly's voice called.
“It's Jade,” Jade answered.
“Come in,” Holly chirped. Jade opened the door into a room filled with bookshelves, a bed, and a desk with a few beakers, some other various odds and ends, and what looked like a golden shallow bowl. These however where not what caught Jade's attention. After he closed the door behind him, he turned to face her.
“Hey Holly, I was won-oh good grief,” He said, when he saw her. Holly was sitting on her bed in a meditative position. Her hair was in the same hair style...

She always has with her pointed elven ears fully visible. Oh yeah, she was also stark naked. She looked at Jade rather puzzled.
“Something wrong?” She asked him.
“Other than the fact that you're not decent, no,” Jade answered. He could feel his body temperature raising ever so slightly. Holly looked down at herself briefly, and then back at her guest.
“Does my nudity bother you?” She asked, sounding quite innocent.
“I won't deny that it is very distracting,” Jade answered. Oh, how her gorgeous breasts looked so perfect. Holly chuckled at his comment.
“Jade, you speak as if you haven't seen me naked before,” She told him, with a chuckle. Jade just shrugged. By this point, most men would be falling over themselves to profess their undying love and devotion to the lovely naked elf in front of him, but he held back. In spite of what natural instinct was telling him.
“Fair enough, Holly, but in that situation you had no choice. I just wasn't expecting to see you like this again right here and now,” He explained to her. Holly smiled, and got off of her bed. She then sauntered towards Jade with her hands clasped behind her back. This gesture not only made her look submissive, but it also puffed out her chest as well.
“You have to remember Jade: I'm not a human. I'm an Elf,” She told him.
“True,” Jade said, showing that he was listening. Holly then continued
“Among my people, we have a way of communing with nature through meditation. We perform this meditation without the burden of clothes, as nature intended. As I said before though, you've seen me nude, so I didn't think you'd mind,” She also explained. “Does it bother you?” She then asked him. Jade smiled at her.
“It doesn't bother me, but a little forewarning next time would be nice,” He answered. “Just tell me that you're in meditation, and i'll know to expect it,” He then suggested.
“I'll try to remember,” She stated, in a very flirty tone. Jade snorted at this. He knew what she was up to. She then turned around, and headed to her desk. She was still holding her hands behind her. “So, what did you need from me?” She then asked.
“I was wondering if you could spot a potential job for us through scrying, or something like that,” Jade answered.
“I'll take a look,” Holly said, and walked up to the bowl. She took hold of a nearby pitcher, and poured a clear liquid known as water into the bowl. Jade could only see his reflection, but he knew that as a sorceress, Holly would likely see something different. She spoke an elvish incantation, and looked into the bowl.
Jade looked at the water, and then back at her. She had her eyes fixed on the reflection. Was she looking at the reflection, or...something else? For the next few minutes, all Holly did was just stare into the bowl. Her eyes were still transfixed on the water's surface.
She then blinked, and started breathing heavily. She turned around, and almost fell forward onto her face, but Jade was there to catch her.
“Oh! Excuse me!” Jade snapped, as he had accidentally cupped her breast in his hand in his rush to aide her.
“It's fine,” She said, as she then straightened up. “Seeing still takes a toll on me,” She explained. Jade then spoke in Elvish, as from his passed experience, it seemed to comfort her.
“Will you be alright?” He asked her. She smiled at him.
“I'll be fine. It used to knock me out for a while, but over time it's gotten better,” She responded, also in Elvish. Jade helped Holly to her bed, and they both sat down. “By the way, where did you learn Elvish?” She then asked him.
“I always liked to read when I was younger, and Cyan had a few books written in Elvish. I never understood them, but I thought the language was beautiful,” Jade told her.
“And Cyan explained to you what it was, and then taught you?” Holly asked. Jade nodded.
“Yes he did,” He said.
“I think you speak it very well,” She said, and they both smiled at each other.
“Right, back to the seeing though,” Jade said, now changing the subject back. He still spoke in Elvish though, as it seemed to please Holly. “Did it reveal anything?”
“Not really, but I did hear a faint cry for help though,” She answered.
“It's something,” Jade responded. Then he had an idea. “By chance would you like me to take you out for dinner or something tonight?” He then asked her.
“I'd like that,” Holly said. Jade then smirked.
“Okay, I do hope you put something on for the outing though,” Jade remarked, and Holly laughed.
“I will,” She said. Jade got up off her bed, and bid her farewell. He switched back to the common tongue.
“Thanks Holly. You have a good one,” Jade told her.
“You too, Jade,” She said back, as he left her to her meditation again.
