Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Donnel blinked several times as he turned to the massive walls lined with perfume. Where did he even begin? He didn’t want to pick out anything too expensive. He wasn’t even sure if there were scents in the shop for men.

He awkwardly reached out for the closest bottle and popped it open. It smelled of pine trees, which brought a smile to his face. “Golly, this one reminds m’ of tha farm,” he said happily.

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa leaned over to get a whiff of Donnel's bottle. "Oh I like that one!" The moment he plugged the stopper back in, she took his bottle "Whelp! Since you like that one, I'm going to treat you!" She walked over to make her purchase before he could object, and after she had finished, walked back over and sprayed a hefty amount of Donnel's new cologne all over him.

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Lissa hurried up to him with a bottle in her hands, telling Donnel to smell whatever scent was in the bottle. The boy pulled down his shirt a little and took a whiff of the perfume. The oder caused Donnel’s eyes to widen as his face twisted into a cringe. “I-I don’t think that’s all that pleasant,” he murmured as he pushed the bottle away from his face, hoping Lissa wouldn’t be offended.

But the girl giggled in response and held out another bottle for Donnel. The smell was much sweeter than the last, though in a good way. “Well this one ain’t too bad,” he told her with a smile.

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa smiled when Donnel said he liked the second bottle better. "Well then I'll get this one!" Grabbing his hand, she pulled him over to shelves of less elegant bottles and gestured for him to start smelling "Now you pick out one and we can walk around camp as the best-smelling couple!"

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

The sudden aroma in the air hit Donnel like a brick wall. It was so strong, he could barely breathe. He pulled his shirt up to cover his nose, gasping in relief. It wasn’t that the scents were bad, there was just no much of it Donnel could barely think.

"Lissa how long you plannin’ ta stick around? I can barely breathe in here," Donnel tried to say politely. Lissa hadn’t complained about going to get a pot so he didn’t want to complain too much about visiting whatever shop she wanted to.

[pigtailedhealer]

"Not long!" Lissa replied as she opened various bottles, trying to pick a favorite. After choosing a square, glass bottle, she walked over to Donnel, who still had half of his face in his shirt. Pulling off the stopper, she held the bottle to his face and said "Smell this one!" He pulled his shirt down only to be met with the most overwhelming musk that had ever been condensed into a bottle.

Lissa couldn't help but let out a small giggle as his face twisted up from the bottle's contents. "Okay so not that one" holding out a thinner, pinkish bottle she asked "What about this one?"

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Donnel blinked a few times with confusion. “Wait there is?” he asked before being pulled from the shop, he had to place his hand on his head to prevent his pot from flying off his head. “W-where we be headin’?” he asked in confusion. He wasn’t very familiar with the market place, so he had no idea what Lissa had in mind.

She didn’t answer though and simply continued pulling him towards some unknown destination. Donnel could only wonder what she was planning.

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa stopped once or twice to get up on her tiptoes and check for the shop through the crowd, but ultimately just plowed through people until she and Donnel reached their destination. "Here we are!" Lissa announced as she pulled Donnel inside.

Donnel was immediately hit by an overwhelming mix of smells. While Lissa went off to examine shelves of glass bottles, Donnel pulled his collar up over his nose, trying to block out the mix of different perfumes.

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

"Y-ya look beautiful with it," Donnel said with sparkling eyes, clasping his hands together. "It’s everything I hoped for and more. Ya couldn’t look more wonderful, Lissa!"

He put the other pots back and took Lissa over to the shop owner. He took the pot off Lissa’s head and placed it down. “I’d like ta make a purchase,” he told the man as he pulled out his wallet. Because of his service with the army he actually had money for once.

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa silently stood next to Donnel as he made his purchase, she wanted to oppose him buying the pot for her, but knew better. As soon as he had finished paying, and chatting with the shop owner, Lissa picked the pot back up and placed it on her head.

"Come on Donny!" she said as she looped her arm around his. "There's much more shopping to be done here!"

Since she was just a little ahead of him, he saw her trip and fall, and he hurled himself out of his sprint and crashed to his knees beside her.

"Oh gods! Lady Lissa! The one time I didn't check for rocks--I should have cleared the field!"

Gods she was probably dead, so so dead, like Emmeryn, and he had been powerless to stop her from falling either. He turned her over, pleading,

"Speak to me!"

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa looked at Frederick like he was crazy while her hand went to her nose, out of instinct from playing with Chrom as kids. She pulled it away and didn't see any blood, made sure nothing was broken and answered a hysterical Frederick "I'm fine, i'm fine!"

Wrestling out of his seemingly impossible hold, she stood up and brushed herself off. "But you know Frederick," she said turning around "I won't lose because of this!" She yelled back to him as she sprinted towards the tree once more, careful to watch where she stepped.

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Donnel laughed nervously and scratched his head, realizing he had never told Lissa what they had gone to the market for. “G-golly,” he said sheepishly, “I’m gonna get ya the finest pot in all the land… or at least… this here shop.”

Lissa smiled though and pointed to the silver one that resembled his golden one. Donnel smiled and placed it down on her head. “Well it looks a mighty fine on ya, don’t ya think?”

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa placed one hand on top of the pot and the other to her face, striking a dramatic pose. "You tell me" she said, twirling into an even more ridiculous pose "Do I look ready to go out and fight some brigands with my trusty pot?"

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Donnel scanned over the shelves, examining the various pots sitting before him. There were many of different shapes, sizes, and colors. It was all very difficult to find the perfect pot for Lissa. This one would really bring out her eyes, but this one would fit perfectly on her head, though this one would stay cooler-

Needless to say, picking out a pot was no simple task for Donnel. One would not simply pull one off the shelf and claim for it to be the one. Each and every pot could serve a different purpose, and he needed to find the one that best suited Lissa.

"Lissa!" He called out, four different pots in his hands. "Which of these ya reckon would suit ya best?"

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa turned around to see Donnel holding four different pots, did he want a new one? Well his was pretty dented... "Which of these ya reckon would suit ya best?" Lissa wasn't sure what he was asking "Suit me best? Suit me how? I mean you know I can't cook." She checked over the pots he was holding "But I do like this one." She said, pointing to a pot similar in size and shape to Donnel's, except it was silver. "It matches yours don't you think?"

Sealing the Deal || [Donnel & Lissa]

"Come on! Come on!" Donnel said excitedly as he pulled Lissa through the crowd of people, hand in hand. He had taken her to the market to get her a little present. He scanned the area to find the store he was looking for. "It’s gotta be ‘round here somewhere."

He spotted the store he was looking for and once again pulled at Lissa. “We’ll find ya the finest pot in the land!” he told her confidently as he stepped into the small and humble shop. It was full of kitchen utensils and… pots. “Ah, here we are.”

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa apologized to the people she bumped into as Donnel pulled her through the crowd, excited to find a certain shop. Donnel finally found the place he had been looking for. "Ah, here we are." Lissa waved at the shopkeeper as Donnel headed straight for the pots and pans. Lissa wandered over to a display of small, intricately decorated spoons, Maribelle had always liked them for some reason, but Lissa never understood why she had to own fifty different ones.

While Lissa was deep in thought over spoons, Donnel was deep in thought over pots. Having picked out a few of his favorites, he called Lissa over to get her opinion.

Bed Rest || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Lissa coughed several times, causing Donnel to look at her with worry. “It’s like you’re my mom, Donny.” she told him, the sound of her voice only made Donnel cringe. It didn’t sound like Lissa at all. There was no peppy, cheerful tone, just weak, forced words.

"Course, I am," Donnel said. "Yer mom ain’t here ta worry ‘bout ya, so I reckon I gotta do it for her."

[pigtailedhealer]

"Well you're the best mom I've ever had" Lissa tried to laugh but just coughed again. Groaning, she buried her face into her pillows again and grumbled about being sick, a few possible profanities sprinkled here and there. Flipping her head back out, she asked "Hey Donny, do you know any good bedtime stories?"

Bed Rest || [Donnel & Lissa]

[d0nnelduck-deactivated20140709]

Donny led Lissa back to her bed and laid her down. He grabbed the blankets and threw them back over Lissa. “Make yerself comfy,” he told her tucking her in a little.

When Lissa asked him if anything exciting had happened, he pursed his lips as he thought about it. “Well… Gregor had a fishin contest with Lon’qu…” he scratched his head, there had to be something more interesting than that going on. “I… golly.. I don’t rightly know… you got any juice?”

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa smiled as Donnel talked, even though she was miserable and sick he could still cheer her up. "Oh really, who won?" Lissa listened as he chattered on, not entirely following him, coughing a few times which elicited a worried response from her caretaker. "It's like you're my mom, Donny." she said hoarsely, followed by a weak laugh.

[sirfrederickthewary-deactivated]

He smiled; he'd hoped that would work. Quickly scanning around for a finish marker, his eyes landed on a small tree growing at the edge of the field, several yards away. He gestured to it as he asked,

"First one to touch the trunk?"

[pigtailedhealer]

Lissa nodded "Alright!" She put her left foot forward and got ready to take off. "Ready? Set? Go!" She took off sprinting, eager to reach the landmark before the knight did. It wouldn't be that hard, she was slimmer than he was and had longer legs; and she would have won, had she not tripped over an rock she could have sworn wasn't there before and fell down face-first.
