19th Day of Summer 514AV

Arvo couldn’t help but look pleased with himself as he returned to the Bakery and Butchers with a new, and fairly impressive catch. He always looked pleased with himself, but today there was an actual reason behind his arrogance. He hoped it’d be Kane who surveyed the gain from his hunt and paid him for it and not his rather brutal Myrian wife. Arvo’d never admit it, but she made him rather nervous. They were an odd pair, mismatched even. He had no idea why an ex-savage and mercenary would want to get hitched with a man who couldn’t fight to save his life. Well, she was a Myrian woman, so she was bound to be the dominant one anyway.

In the couple of years that he’d known Kane, Arvo had managed to sweet talk his way into his private business, and a such, knew that he inherited the company when his family all perished, though Arvo still didn’t know how it had happened. Still, Kane managed to remain blissfully ignorant of Arvo’s bloody past in Windreach, or his true personality underneath the show he put on for everybody. He had to admit, it was a wonderful mask. He’d spent years perfecting it.

Kiarsha, however, didn’t seem to like him. She refused to let him anywhere near to cracking her hard shell, and as such, all he knew about his female employer was her race, her name and her place of birth. He could never get the edge on her, which made him rather frustrated. Maybe she saw him for what he was. Kiarsha didn’t have anything to worry about though, Arvo needed his job too much to ever do anything to compromise it. He was sure she must know that. Maybe it was just the fact that she’d gotten used to the Sunberth way: ‘Everyone one is a potential threat!’.

Walking straight through the doors with a great big sack hanging over his shoulder like a dead-… well it WAS a dead animal. His golden eyes scoured the shop and eventually fell upon one of it’s owners. Kane was manning the store, which meant Kiarsha would be out back waiting to greet him as he brought in his catch, which was never good enough for her. “Good morning to you, Kane” Arvo said with a dip of his imaginary tophat. “Arvo, our favorite hunter, go right on through.” Kane replied. Arvo made it through to Kiarsha, who was in the kitchen attending to the bakery side of the store.

“Good morning to you, Mrs Baker” He said politely. She looked at him with a faked smile “Oh Arvo, surely we’re on a first name basis by now” She said sarcastically. Arvo grinned “Right, right, well, I spose it’s only fair, seeing as I don’t currently own a last name.” That got a chuckle out of her, but she didn’t comment further “What have you got for us, hunter?” She asked him. Arvo responded by dropping the dead stag on the table, and removing the sack. “Good enough for you?” The Myrian shrugged “Not the best we’ve had all week.” She said

“That’s right!” This high-pitched squeak of a voice butted in from across the room quite rudely. Arvo turned to see a boy, younger than him, effeminate features, smirking at him. He was another one of Kane’s hunters, named Kean. Arvo walked over to him, standing far too close and locking eyes with the smaller boy “Yeah? What’cha catch Kean?” Arvo said, puffing himself up and trying to intimidate him. He’d not known Kean for long, but the guy was, he had to admit, somewhat of a natural hunter. Fortunately for Arvo, his confidence didn’t always match the level of his skill with a bow. “I… hey, back off Arvo.” The boy stuttered, smirk disappearing to be replaced with a sort of anxious frown. “He caught a bear, Arvo.” Kiarsha said, obviously very amused by the whole thing.

“Did he now?” Arvo chuckled, never breaking eyecontact with his collegue “Well I can’t have that! Nope, I simply cannot have you beating me Kean!” Arvo retorted “You, me tomorrow, break of dawn!”Kean regained his smirk once more “Are you asking me out on a date?” That comment made Arvo backtrack. He hadn’t expected to be beaten his forte as well: Wit. The little son-of-a-bitch would NOT see that his comment had successfully embarrassed Arvo. “You wish, I’m out of your league!” He retorted turning on his heels and going to leave “I’ll see you and your bow tomorrow, don’t chicken out of me.” Arvo added before leaving. He waved at Kane, and as he left, he smiled to himself. Kean was good, but Arvo was better. Tomorrow he would prove it.
