Outlaws' Loot (Hoff/Erio)

[Deleted]

"Men are pigs" she replied "you just happen to be one that looks like a mule too, not a bad looking one though..." she turned and gave a slight wink with a shake of her hips "drinking alone is far too pitiful don't you think?"

Erio glanced at the cabinet making sure nothing looked too suspicious before walking out her hips swinging rather suggestively her lips curled up into a seductive smile as she moved off to get some sleep before the morning.

Setting her bag down she lay next to it resting her head on her arm, a blanket was far too much trouble to bring along, large and bulky just getting in the way. Sighing she closed her eyes drifting off to sleep.

[Hoff]

Hoff nodded dropping the bag across the way from her and sitting down in front of it, looking at the girl. ”A good looking pig indeed” he muttered as he leaned back on the bag of elixirs and looked up into the dark room.

There was a small window at the top that let light in and now that the torch was out it took a few moments for his eyes to get used to it. He still could make her out in front of him. After some time thinking about how he knew almost nothing about her besides the haughty attitude he spoke up ”So where are you from”. Damn, fallen asleep already he muttered. It wasnt a bad idea, he himself was feeling tired though sleep wasn't coming that easily. He stared off at the dim light from the window slowly nodding off.

Erio sat up after a moment the sleep that she had been in before now clearly fabricated. She darted forward grabbing his cloak and stepping back "Ha!" she shouted out a smirk painting her lips as she wrapped the cloth around herself and lay back down closing her eyes to sleep.

After a few moments of silence she finally spoke to reply to his question turning to glance over her shoulder. "Etruria, I am from Etruria, you?"

[Hoff]

"I was born in Bern" Hoff replied. "My dad was pretty wealthy, he controlled a number of businesses. I left when I was 17 and have been traveling around since. ". He didnt mind giving her his cloak though she could have asked or something.. still he wasn't in the mood to fight about it and preferred to just sit back against the bag and stare up at the window.

He tried to think of a simple question that wouldn't just kill the conversation between them "Whats Etruria like?" then after a brief pause "Why are you out here anyway?

[Deleted]

"Etruria is dull, people develop no character from the lack of character around them" she replied with a sigh. "They all stare up at the prophet with star studded eyes blinded by his fake brilliance. Its just...dull....there is nothing much to do there if you were in the same position as I so I just left."

Erio rolled over with a sigh "I am out here because I had no reason to stay there, even less with what had happened right before. So...where have you been and seen?"

[Hoff]

"For a long time after I left i worked with a group of "bandits"" Hoff answered with mock scary tone when he said bandits. "We controlled a pretty large area. A few towns and many villages in Bern.

"I was a scout, primarily sneaking around. I usually got my cut by staying out of sight. For a while I was in charge of cleanup. When our people caused problems, I made sure they didn't." he continued still looking up at the window "I liked it. It was interesting work, and we were very well organized. Some of the villages liked us too. We offered protection.. fending off other groups or whoever was looking to cause trouble. Most of the town officials were under our control. If not then it was the merchants. Either way we didn't take a lot. There was plenty of money to be made, and usually those in charge were happy to give it us."

"But I got bored. I got tired of listening to the leaders.. from taking their orders, from having to show them their respect. Maybe I was young... but I still don't regret leaving."

Hoff looked back at her. He wanted to ask about what had happened right before, but he wasnt sure if it was something good to simply ask directly. Instead he reworded his question where she could explain if she wanted to "And you? You left Erutria?"

[Deleted]

"Yes..." she mumbled sleepily his eyes closed as she drifted off to sleep
