Explore??

Jack and LeLu entered the Inn as a coupe and asked for a large bed or two singles. The owner gave him a key to a room with one large bed and Jack paid for the room. After checking out the room they decided to get some sleep and explore the city the next day since it was getting late.

It had been a long several weeks for Jack as he was tired. LeLu looked exhausted as well as she took off some of her armor so she could breath while sleeping. She was a bit embarrassed as she prepared for bed in front of Jack so he turned around and began to prep the floor to sleep on when she interrupted him.

LeLu: Jack its okay. I am in no position to have you sleep on the floor. I owe you debt I can never pay back. If you won't let me have the floor we can use two blankets if you want.

Jack turned to see LeLu looking nervous as she was making a big effort. He could see she was both feeling embarrassed and guilty as her red face had trouble looking at him. So he decided to make light of the situation by turning the tables on her.

Jack: Fine.......but keep your hands to yourself missy. You haven't even treated me to dinner so don't get any funny ideas.

LeLu giggled before she caught herself. It made he feel better that Jack was not making it awkward for her. As he picked up his blanket and climbed into the king size bed he covered up as he lay on his back. LeLu was also on her back as they stared at the ceiling. LeLu felt nervous as she spoke up.

LeLu: Jack do you have family?

Jack: Yeah but I only know my mom. She said I have other relatives scattered about but I am clueless about them.

LeLu: Do you want to meet them?

Jack: I am curious but its not a priority or anything.

LeLu: Did your mom tech you to fight?

Jack: Yeah........my mom is crazy strong. I miss her but she wants me to leave the nest and find my own way.

LeLu: My father was over protective and would not let me explore outside our forest. He was worried I might get captured and used as a bargaing chip.

Jack: Well you're fine now so take it one day at a time and hope for the best. We don't know what tomorrow will bring so make the best of it.

LeLu: Yeah...you're right.....thanks Jack. Goodnight Jack.

Jack: Goodnight LeLu. And don't forget to keep your hands to yourself.

LeLu giggled as she closed her eyes and slept like a new born baby for the first time in a long time. Jack waited till she slept till he closed his eyes and crashed. He dreamed of his days with his mother and her warmth as she hugged him. He was feeling happy again truly felt like his mother was really with him as he slept. That is till he felt a bite on his shoulder. When he woke up he saw he was on his side facing away from LeLu and she was spooned up behind him and nibbling on his shoulder. He wiggled away from her and fell off the bed to see she was smiling and drooling in her sleep as she mumbled.

LeLu mumbling: more steak please........so good......

Jack wiped her drool off his shoulder and rubbed his eyes as he saw it was close to sun up anyway so he decided to do his morning warm up exercises. Eventually LeLu woke up to see Jack doing his morning stretches. She was confused and had some serious bed head.

LeLu: Huh?? What happened?

Jack: Morning LeLu.

LeLu: Morning Jack. Why are you on the floor?

Jack: I'm exercising.

LeLu saw the red marks on Jack's shoulder and became curious.

LeLu: Oh.........what happened to your shoulder?

Jack: You did that last night. Now you owe me dinner since you tried to have your way with me.

LeLu turned beet red with embarrassment as she covered herself with a pillow.

LeLu: I'm so sorry Jack.

Jack: What were you dreaming about?

LeLu: Ummmmmm........an all you can eat buffet.

Jack: And was I on the menu?

LeLu: No........I'm so sorry Jack. This was the first time I slept well and the nightmares stopped.

Jack: Okay I forgive you this time. Next time you ask for my permission.

LeLu meekly: yes sir.

Jack: Anyway get dressed so we can get breakfast. After that we can explore the city and stuff.

LeLu: Okay.

After getting cleaned up they went to a pub and had chicken soup and bread for breakfast, they headed out into the city to walk around.
